Therapists in Toronto, ON

So often the ‘first step’ is the most difficult to take, but seeking out this profile means you’re halfway there. Knowing we need help, even thinking we know how to resolve a situation, it isn’t always enough. The work we do will address the gap between that knowing and actions that can start to make a difference for you. The qualities I try to cultivate in my work with clients— honesty, compassion, acceptance, and even (at times) humour— are the qualities that promote the kind of genuine connection that can support you in a process of growth and change that can gently help you to understand yourself and the path you’re on.

Sometimes life can become overwhelming. In the midst of the many challenges we face, it can be difficult to remember that it is okay to feel confused, frustrated, angry, sad, or apathetic. As a Registered Psychotherapist (RP), my approach is client-centred. I assist people with discovering and accepting all the unique aspects of themselves, encouraging self-care and to speak freely without fear of judgement. The simple act of sharing our experiences and trials in our lives in a safe, comfortable space can help to begin the healing process.

My specific interest lies in addressing issues related to loss of emotional control, sexual addiction, relationship issues, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, adverse childhood experiences, grief, and loss. Drawing from my background as an educator, I assist individuals of all ages to reach their academic and career potential. Decades of work as a yoga instructor have led to an ability to cultivate self-compassion, acceptance and mindfulness in my clients. We work collaboratively together as a team to move you towards a life of greater well-being and meaning. Poly + queer + kink +

Accepting new clients - Welcome and thanks for visiting my profile! It is difficult for us to appreciate when things aren’t “just right”. We put a lot of pressure on ourselves, to feel and think a certain way. We often mask our true emotions and the way we process information, in order to “fit” in. This can become overwhelming, and eventually, this can lead to changes in the way we perceive ourselves, our family and friends, and the world around us.

After gathering background information in our intake session, we will work together to assess the origins and explore the scope of your presenting issues. I will conduct a comprehensive scientific, evidence-based, and well-researched assessment of your difficulties to help you gain insight and understanding of what might be at the root of your struggles with anxiety, depression or your relationship problems. During this assessment, I will use scientific, evidence-based measures along with an in-depth personal history and an account of your life experiences to provide you with insights about the nature of your current symptoms.

In a safe non-judgmental environment, we address the difficulties in your thought-belief systems, emotional complexes, and behavioural-patterns. www.kenwalton.org

As a psychotherapist, my philosophy is simple: many of our challenges, whether in connection with anxiety, trauma, or conflict, can often be traced back to dishonesty – with ourselves and/or with others. Discovering your truth is vital to your healing journey. l am committed to building a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients so that we can uncover root causes and embark on this journey together. I am dedicated to serving individuals from diverse backgrounds and providing a safe and judgement-free space that allows for clients to freely speak their truth.

You have tremendous power. The power to define your world, your relationships, your life. The power to be your true self. Yet, life can bring challenges that make us feel powerless. Passion can turn into doubt, fear, and anger. Love and joy can become pain and emptiness. For many of us, no single event alone changes us, but at some point, we find ourselves lost. I believe in the power of hope. I believe you can rediscover your strength, purpose, and sense of control. You can reclaim yourself—your courage, confidence, clarity, creativity, and compassion. I have hope that you can be who you want to be, no matter what comes your way.

My areas of speciality include emotional disturbances, addictive behaviors, substance use, anxiety, depression, life transitions and coaching, interpersonal relationships, self-esteem, stress, trauma and spirituality. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, and families from a diverse range of cultural, ethnic, socio-economic and educational backgrounds. More specifically, my previous clinical experiences have afforded me the unique experiences of working with troubled teenagers suffering from addictive behaviors, refugees who have experienced significant trauma, couples pursuing international adoption.

Life can be challenging and is often stressful. Multiple stress factors affects the quality of life and create psychological disorders. You may experience those challenges in a number of different ways: difficulties adjusting, confusion about direction and motivation in life, struggles at work, in relationships etc. As a result, you may feel anxious, depressed, angry or overwhelmed at times and need a better viewpoint to deal with those feelings and problems.

Anxiety is a mode of being, our call for growth. We find ourselves in a world and relate to our surroundings through desire and care. Within the frame of our cultural conditioning, we tend to invest in people and things that foster attachments. Out of these attachments and the desire to pursue the sort of happiness that we are conditioned to thrive for emerges a sense of dependency that often deprives us of the opportunity to actualize our true potentials.

In the realm of psychological well-being, each individual's journey is uniquely nuanced, often requiring a compassionate guide who is not only well-versed in the complexities of the human mind but also specializes in navigating its intricate challenges. That's where my professional expertise comes into play. Specializing in Education and Learning Disabilities, Parenting, and Relationships, my practice is rooted in the understanding that psychological support must be as diverse as the individuals seeking it.
