Relationship Issues Therapists in Downtown, Toronto, ON

A warm welcome! I understand the challenges that come with everyday life, from mental health struggles to relationship conflicts. As a caring, trusted and experienced therapist, I'm here to help you navigate these challenges and find peace in the face of adversity. Whether it's anxiety, depression, relationships, or other concerns, I'm here to listen, from a non-judgemental, empathetic, and empowering view to support you in recognizing your strengths. You can start your journey towards healing with a free consultation. For your convenience I offer evening & weekend appointments, & affordable sliding scale pricing for students (17+).

How satisfied are you in your life? What do you want your future to look like? Are you experiencing feelings of distrust, panic or frustration? Overwhelmed by life’s demands? Feeling misunderstood, alone? Has there been an escalation of conflict and emotional distress? No more. Life is challenging and unpredictable. One of our deepest needs as humans is to feel understood. To find an anchor of peace, feel as if your voice is being heard, validated. And, you are NOT alone.

I'm so glad you're taking steps to look for the connection and space you need. It can be hard to find a therapist that clicks. Therapy can be a space to cultivate radical acceptance, get clear on your relationship patterns, strengthen your resources, and sow the seeds for the courage to make shifts. Our work together is collaborative, working at the pace of your nervous system and at the speed of trust with yourself and each other.

Truth is, many of us are either trying to remove ourselves further away from pain or to get ourselves closer to pleasure. I will help you get to the root of the issue(s) you are facing and help to change your relationship with the issue(s) that are holding you back.

What you are is what you have been. What you’ll be is what you do now. -Buddha Changes in our lives is one thing that is inevitable and guaranteed to happen. It can feel hard and overwhelming at times. Taking care of oneself is about treating and caring for our entire being-our emotional, mental, physical. Whether you are going through a separation/divorce, starting a new relationship, or dealing with the pressures of family and cultural expectations, you are not alone. As a South Asian woman I understand the impact culture (family/extended family, community, religion, gender roles) can have on our decision making and life choices.

Welcome to a brave space where judgment is replaced with acceptance, allowing you to get to know & embrace your authentic self. Here, individuals & partners are invited to truly FEEL, guided by my commitment to fostering understanding, well-being & joy. The rough bits of life were never meant to be faced alone & chances are you already recognize that avoiding your feelings have not been helpful. This is where I come in. I specialize in relationship & individual therapy, supporting you in navigating life's challenges, focusing on decreasing shoulds & shame while amplifying the values that lead to a more fulfilling & joyous life.

I work from a trauma-informed lens with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, loneliness and disconnection, and couples facing breakdowns in communication and conflict. In individual therapy, we explore the deep and often painful emotions that get in the way of feeling accepted, understood and truly engaged in one’s life and relationships, including exploring low self-esteem, self-criticism, and perfectionism, and the impact of lived experiences of trauma on their well-being. In couples therapy we uncover the negative cycle disrupting the relationship, helping to improve the connection and communication between partners.

Talk therapy, you might be surprised where it can take you. Assisting individuals, couples and families facing many different challenges, I offer both brief and longer-term therapy. Whatever you are struggling with I will support you to better understand, address and resolve the issue. Whether it is about stress, loss, chronic pain, relationship difficulties, a diagnosed disorder (anxiety, depression, bipolar, ADD/ADHD etc.) or a simple consultation, you and I will find the most effective way to deal with and manage the difficulties you are experiencing.

If you are someone who is up to the challenge of confronting whatever is getting in the way of improving your wellbeing, then I would like to be able to help guide you. This could be related to Depression, Anxiety or ADHD. Relationship issues can be about issues with a partner, family member, friends or colleagues.

It might seem hard to believe now, but love doesn't have to be so hard.

In navigating life's challenges, we often construct defenses that, while once protective, now leave us feeling stuck and isolated. Together, we will work to chip away at these accumulated layers and begin to articulate a more authentic and comfortable way of being in the world. My approach is rooted in compassion and understanding, offering a safe haven for healing while encouraging you gently to your full potential. Together, we'll shift from the shadows of criticism, fear and shame to a path illuminated by self-discovery and growth.

If you wake up and dread having to start your day - let's talk. Whether it is work, school, home or even your relationships, life seems to keep throwing you challenges that you don't want or know how to manage. It's starting to feel like you're stuck in a never-ending pattern. And as humans, we often do function on autopilot and get caught in cycles of behavior that we know aren't healthy or good for us, but we just can't stop. How is it that we can be so aware and feel so powerless at the same time? What if I told you that it's not your fault and that human brains are actually wired that way for an important reason?

I am a Registered Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor, and Co-Owner of Insight and Wellness Therapy Centre. My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in compassion, empathy, and collaboration. I believe that each individual is the expert of their own life, and my role is to provide support, guidance, and tools to help you tap into your innate resilience and wisdom. I believe that everyone is deserving of and has capacity for growth and fulfillment, but that sometimes our histories and patterns can leave us feeling stuck.

Are you feeling disconnected and lacking intimacy in your relationship(s)? Are you feeling stuck in past hurts and betrayals including infidelity/cheating? Do you crave connection, understanding, intimacy and harmony in your relationships? Do arguments escalate quickly and leave you feeling unheard, misunderstood, and emotionally drained?

As a relational therapist, I support couples and families navigating these common relationship difficulties and many more. A thriving and fulfilling relationship is within reach!

You’re struggling. You’re angry, you’re sad, and you’re afraid. Some days you’re shouting (even if only inside your own head!), and sometimes there’s just this heavy, heavy silence. Maybe you both dig-in to hold your positions, or maybe one of you runs and the other chases, only to repeat the drama next week or next month. Negativity seems to rule your relationship and you’re both walking on eggshells. And after months and months (or is it years and years?) it’s gotten to the point where you’re wondering if your relationship is beyond repair.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and hold a Masters degree in Counselling Psychology. I am dedicated to helping others live happy and fulfilling lives. As an individual therapist I am non-judgemental, empathetic and open minded. My aim is to heal emotional injuries impacting your daily life, assist in understanding yourself better and help break unhealthy habits.

At your core you know who you are, what you believe, the kind of relationships you want to have and the kind of life you want to build. Trauma, anxiety, grief, loss and relationship problems can take up so much mental space that it can feel impossible to envision that life. These experiences can be isolating and it may be hard to reach out for help at the times you need it the most. Everyone deserves time and space to be listened to and supported.

You are driven and a high performer and it has cost you a lot of anxiety. Your solution has been to work harder and power through everything, at home and at work. Even though you feel disconnected, lonely and isolated, you tell yourself - keep going. This is the only way you know how. You're afraid of failing, you're afraid to stop, you're afraid of taking that next step in your career. You don't have to suffer for success and happiness. Your way of coping isn't working anymore. Let me show you a better way, this is not about changing your work ethic, it’s about using different tools to reframe success and support.
