Therapists in Toronto, ON

Perhaps that you wish you could trust yourself more, use your voice, and feel more connected to yourself or others? Or that you did not have to use so much energy overthinking about the past, future, or reactions of other people? Whether you have struggled with anxiety since childhood or have begun to encounter it in areas like relationships, work, or school, you deserve to connect with support.

Do you wish things were different? I work with diverse clients facing life's transitions and challenges. My theoretical framework is relational, using both talk therapy and/or creative/expressive arts modalities. Following your lead, I listen/witness and attune carefully in order to attend to your specific need. We start with where you are most comfortable, which means that talking, imagery, dreamwork and silence are all welcome. Although I work flexibly between short term talk therapy (psychodynamic psychotherapy) and expressive/creative arts, we safely build our relationship, while co-creating in our therapeutic studio space.

I work with clients to ensure that they are receiving the care that works with their unique goals, and that they feel witnessed through their journey. I work with clients, from youths to adults, who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, sex and intimacy challenges, and interpersonal relationship issues. My aim is to support and guide clients using a mind-body approach that cultivates more depth from their self-reflection and emotional processing. I approach this work with openness, and aim to create a safe and brave space where these stories are both held and heard.

Life is full of challenges both expected and unexpected. It is my goal to help you navigate a path through your current circumstances whatever they may be. Loss is a particular challenge which affects all of us. It can be the loss of a loved one, an ability, a relationship, or a job. I have years of experience helping people move forward from loss or trauma. I have also worked to help young adults navigate transitions that are often a source of anxiety or depression.

Choosing the right therapist is a big deal. Just like a travel partner will impact the experiences you have on your trip, your therapist will impact how your mental health journey unfolds. I commend you for making this important decision thoughtfully. To tell you a bit about myself, I am a psychologist working with adults facing a variety of life struggles including trauma, OCD, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, perfectionism, shame, health issues and life transitions. I am grateful to have received training in a range of modalities including mindfulness, compassion focused, emotion focused, CBT and psychodynamic therapies.

Hello! My name is Mafalda, and I am an Art therapist who has experience working with youth and adults in both individual and group settings. Hmm, Art therapist? It means that I combine psychotherapy with the process of art making to help you explore and process emotions and thoughts that may be sometimes challenging to express into words. Many people believe you must be ‘good at art’ to benefit from art therapy, however, this is not the case. You “do not need any art experience” at all! In addition to art therapy, I often integrate various therapy approaches and mindfulness tools depending on your specific goals.

Welcome! I am a registered clinical & counselling psychologist licensed to practice in the province of Ontario. I am a graduate of the University of Toronto where I received my Masters degree and Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology. My training has also included both of Toronto’s psychoanalytic training institutes, and I have certificates in addiction studies, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and sensory motor psychotherapy. As a registered member of the College of Psychologists of Ontario, I enjoy providing respectful, kind and inclusive psychological services to older adolescents, adults, couples, and organizations.

I see you as the expert of your own experiences. I begin with meeting you where you are and work collaboratively with you to establish a strong therapeutic relationship. Foundational safety and trust is central to your healing process. My role is to bear witness, encourage you to look inward for insight and to explore patterns in your life. Together we can build internal resiliency for greater depth and richness.

It can be an act of courage and strength to seek help. Whether you have been thinking about this for a long time, face new struggles, or both, you deserve to take this step. I am an experienced clinical, health, rehabilitation psychologist who helps adults experiencing a broad range of issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, stress, life transitions. I am also experienced with clients facing acute or chronic medical illness, and those who work, learn or perform in high demand settings (e.g. physicians and other clinicians, athletes, artists, students) through my previous work in hospitals (UHN, HHS) and universities (U of T).

Hey you! I’m Dorothy - thank you for being here. I’m a social worker & psychotherapist who specializes in supportive work with children, youth and families. I guide humans to be gentle and curious with themselves, their stories, and their environments, so that they can practice new ways of being that are in alignment with their hopes and dreams. Sometimes, systemic oppression (i.e. racism, cisheteropatriarchy, colonialism, capitalism) can affect how we reach our goals. My practice is dedicated to exploring the ways in which supportive relationships can not only support our healing, but create more social justice around us.

I offer deeply compassionate client-centered services for adolescents and adults. I am trained in the evidence-based models of Psychodynamic, ACT, CBT, and Narrative therapy as well as the Creative Arts Therapies, with an expertise in Drama Therapy (Role theory, Psychodrama, Improv, etc.). I interweave these modalities to best suit my client’s needs. My therapy approach goes beyond talk therapy, to also be embodied, creatively expressive, and somatically based. In this way emotions, memories, and presenting issues are explored and processed not only with words but with movement, metaphors, play, and body relaxation techniques.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) specializing in working with individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, and self-esteem challenges. I have worked in a variety of settings supporting the well-being and mental health of children, youth and young adults and families.

The therapeutic relationship is a 'collaborative' one, with a focus on establishing and maintaining a safe and trusting relationship with clients, so we can openly explore patterns of thinking and interacting that get in the way of being the person you wish to be - I have a large toolkit of strategies to choose from! I provide secure, on-line video counselling and I also provide clinical supervision and consultation for therapists in private practice. I have just published a book "Chronic Pain My Journey", Don S. Hunter, 2023. Available at Amazon and local bookstores.

Having the right therapist to talk to and collaborate with on your goals, challenges, and emotional turmoil can help put things into perspective and create a plan for success. It can be challenging to navigate the world in the face of oppression, disability, stigma, and other barriers to success. My therapy draws on inner strengths and creative expression to manage complex thoughts and emotions, and increase feelings of empowerment. I emphasize meaning-making, the importance of self-efficacy, and perceived control of experiences in the healing process from cognitive, somatic, and social-constructivist perspectives.

I support individuals with challenges related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, substance use, relationship issues, connection, belonging, loss, grief, and stressful life changes. Through providing warm, experiential and compassionate support I aim to create a space that is accepting, empowering and has lots of room for exploration. I emphasize a holistic approach and the importance of exploring the mind body connection in healing. My practice welcomes individuals of diverse gender identities, sexualities, ethnicities, cultural backgrounds, ages, abilities, and lifestyles.

I work with young adults who are seeking to experience more authenticity within relationships and work towards living more meaningful and fulfilling lives. Perhaps there are emotional wounds from the past that are keeping you stuck, or the reality of living in the modern world is overwhelming, leaving little room for connecting with yourself. My practice is rooted in the belief that within every person exists a wellspring — a source of wisdom, creativity, and innate capacity for healing. I strive to embody an empathic, grounded presence that creates a healing space for my clients to pause and reconnect to their own inner wisdom.

Very often, and for lots of reasons, we can feel disconnected from our inner world. Navigating loss, feeling anxious or frustrated with life, or difficulties in relationships can leave us feeling overwhelmed and stuck. For most of us, we’re often not sure how to deal with hard feelings. So we adapt as best we can, and develop strategies to cope. Sometimes these strategies can start to interfere with our lives. Which is why Therapy can help. By being curious about your experiences, and listening intently, we can begin to learn what your needs are and move towards feeling better.
