Hello and welcome! Seeking therapy can be daunting, so let me share a little about myself to help you determine whether I might be a good fit for you. I strive to help my clients feel more like themselves and connect to a sense of meaning and fulfillment in their lives. The world and systems we operate within are incredibly difficult, and I hope to support my clients in living more authentically alongside their various responsibilities. I work with clients ages 12+ navigating life transitions and anxiety, neurodivergence, inter-cultural, relational, identity, LGBTQIA2S+, long-distance relationships, and self-esteem challenges.

My name is Tye (they/them) and I am a trans, agender, queer and neurodivergent person, who is passionate about working within community. I am a registered social worker in Ontario, and have over 6 years of experience working in mental health and substance use.

Suffering is an inherent part of the human experience. However, we often feel that we are alone in our suffering, that no one can relate to our experiences, or that we don’t deserve to find peace in our lives. This can create feelings of frustration and despair, and we begin to feel stuck, unable to connect with others. Fear of judgement, along with our vulnerabilities can keep us from reaching out when we need it the most. I am confident that every person holds an innate understanding of what they need to heal and grow. Grounded in compassion, humility, and curiosity, my aim is to co-create a safe, open space for self-exploration.

As a Psychotherapist, I strive to provide a safe, judgement-free, compassionate and growth-focused space for my clients, where their voices can be heard and encouragement is given to explore new ways of relating to difficult thoughts, feelings, memories and experiences.

I primarily draw upon person-centred, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural, and solution-focused approaches to therapy in my work.

Hi, I'm Sam! I got my start in the social services world over a decade ago working with survivors of sexualized violence and assault.

I am also a sex therapist with a strong background in the world of sexual health. I believe that sex, at its best, is about connection, play, and liberation, and that most of us could use more of all those things in our lives.

Welcome! I'm Dr. Kathleen Metcalfe (she/her), and I provide therapy and assessment services to individuals 16 years and older. My goal as a psychologist is to provide a safe environment to explore issues that are impacting your mood, health, and overall well-being. I approach therapy from a collaborative, integrative framework, with a trauma and relational, attachment-informed style, with attention paid to structural and systemic issues and the impact they can have on my clients.

Whether you have struggled to cope with challenges in your life, feel overwhelmed, unsure what to do, or stuck, coming to therapy can be hard. I help adults who may be struggling with the impacts of childhood trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, stress, relationship issues, struggles with intimacy, sexuality, gender identity, self-harm, life transitions, grief and loss, and more. I also specialized in working with members of the 2SLGBTQI+ community. My goal is to help you foster resilience, establish safety and stability, live in alignment with your values, and find happiness and contentment in your life.

I believe we all have many strengths although at times we may lose sight of them—I provide honest feedback to help mirror these strengths back to you. I believe that we all, at one time or another, find it difficult to explore our thoughts and feelings—I honour such acts of courage, bringing confidentiality, non-judgement, and unconditional care to session. Working at a pace that feels right for you, I provide support and gentle challenges as you process your experiences and develop insight into your life so that you may heal, grow, and ultimately be free to live your life in a way that is fulfilling and true to who you are.

I work with people who experience intense emotions with the aim of coming to understand these feelings as not only real, but also important, valid, and meaningful. Generally, this includes teens (13+), young adults, adults, and couples who are hoping to work toward managing their feelings in a way that allows them to interact with the world, and their loved ones, more effectively. As someone who focuses on this area of feelings work I have developed strong skills working with anxiety, BPD, ADHD, trauma, and grief, as these areas are often interconnected. Clients often describe me as warm, kind, and (at least a little bit) funny.

Have you ever felt unseen, unsafe, or unwelcome in therapy? Like you don't belong there, or your therapist just doesn't get you? Your therapist should be one person with whom you don’t have to mask or hide parts of yourself. I welcome the weirdos, the outsiders, the black sheep. Those who are tired of having to over-explain or justify their existence, identities, or the way their brain works. You are welcome to just be yourself with me. Even if you don’t know who that is yet! What a treat to get to explore that together! See who you are beyond the weight of self-criticism and other's expectations. Become who you really want to be.
