Connect with Ciara Toddington

I work with youth, adults, and families who may be struggling with concerns such as emotion regulation, self-harm, borderline personality disorder, anxiety, substance use, psychosis, stress management, and much more. I acknowledge that being a human in this world can be difficult. We all face complex challenges in today’s society, and these can feel even more overwhelming during adolescence and young adulthood. I work to come alongside clients, and help support them along their own recovery journey.

I have training in modalities such as dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI) and more. I offer a warm, non-judgemental, and supportive environment, while providing evidence-based treatment.

I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation. Don't hesitate to reach out!
