I am a Registered Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from the University of Toronto. My passion and professional mission is to support my clients through challenging life moments. I have extensive clinical experience working with individuals and their respective support systems in home, hospital, educational and community-based settings.

With graduate, post-graduate degrees, and over 30 years of clinical experience, I welcome Children, Teens, Adults, Couples & Families into my practice who are facing anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, grief, addiction, chronic pain/illness, or stress from relationship conflicts. I specialize in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Relapse Prevention Therapy, and Self-Care which are personalized to each client's unique age & circumstances, as well as a unique Couple's Program, and Deep Healing that addresses pain and utilizes strengths to repair. I use specific strategies to gain real results.

My priority is to develop a therapeutic and non-judgmental relationship with all my clients. In my experience validating and reassuring clients helps to normalize their experiences and feelings. I am client-centered and focus on my client's strengths; starting where the client is at. "I believe that each person has a unique story and perspective in which they bring to both relationships and to managing life stressors. Ultimately, we will work together so that you feel empowered to identify meaningful goals for positive change.”

For singles struggling with commitment: I will help you get clear on what you're looking for in a partner, and what may be getting in your way. For couples: I help both partners understand how your individual stories led you to each other, and how your inevitable difficulties can become opportunities for growth.

I am an experienced therapist with 30 years of practise to draw upon. I will listen carefully as you describe the issues that you need support and help to sort out. Often, an increased understanding of the challenges that you face can be very helpful to move forward in your life. As well, learning some new skills to manage the issues and/or gaining a new perspective on the issues can be useful as well. I appreciate that it is not easy to embark on a therapy course so I make every effort to be supportive and understanding as we build a therapy relationship.

I am a caring psychotherapist with a genuine enthusiasm for people to know inner wellness and personal freedom.

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.

I offer counselling/ psychotherapy services that meet you where you are. If you are looking for support to face some of your life's challenges or to live a more satisfying life, I may be able to help.My work is guided by the following key principles: we all possess a natural tendency toward growth and healing; counselling/psychotherapy is a collaborative process, with the client directing the process; we are all so much more than the worst thing we have ever done.

I am an RSW LCSW psychotherapist with a private practice in Toronto and NY serving clients via Zoom/phone in Ontario, NY, NJ. I tend to see a broad assortment of people, many who are suffering from depression, anxiety, stress and difficulty coping. Some struggle with being single, others within their relationship, or with their sexual authenticity. Together through talk therapy we can find a pathway to a deeper understanding and a way to move forward with confidence and security My clients are from different worlds, heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, young and old, single, married, and all those in-between.

It can be daunting when considering therapy for the first time, the second time or even the third time without a referral or guidance about who to work with or what kind of therapy to enroll in for a particular challenge a client is facing. I work from a person-centered approach that puts an emphasis on the fit of the therapeutic relationship. I believe that the success of the client’s therapeutic experience lies in the relationship between therapist and client--a collaborative interchange where the client is the expert of their life.

Hi, I'm vania (pronouns she/her) and I provide support to women and the transitions in their lives. I am a warm, friendly and attentive psychotherapist who strives to have your voice heard. Primarily, my focus is on reproductive, perinatal and parenting concerns and I also have extensive abuse and trauma therapy experience. By listening with empathy and no judgement, I work with you to create space to explore your situation and facilitate a path to healing. It is my goal to help women in their journey towards a life with resilience. I have your wellbeing in mind so that you can live the life you love.

I work with adults and couples to help them move towards a state of continued growth, compassion, and self-awareness in a way that is collaborative, strengths-based, and empowering. I believe in creating a client-therapist relationship that fosters authenticity, support, and space for both acceptance, and for change. This can begin in our very first session. Together, we can begin to tease apart the adaptive approaches to dealing with and moving through life you've grown accustomed to, and begin to decipher which of these patterns are serving you, and which you may be interested in moving beyond.

I believe in an empathic, collaborative approach, so that you may always be part of the therapeutic process. Psychotherapy allows for a unique relationship, whereby the focus of attention is on understanding you. It provides an opportunity for openness, trust and honesty, often difficult in other interpersonal situations. It can help you to increase your resilience to life challenges and improve relationships. I use a range of therapy modalities according to the best fit for your needs and personality. Greater meaning in life can be achieved by longer term therapy, but also brief periods of therapy which are cumulative.

Feel like #%!*? Let's talk about it. I offer a warm, creative, down-to-earth approach that is client-focused and collaborative. I work from a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive framework. I believe in bringing light and air to the parts of ourselves that need time and space to emerge. In our increasingly fragmented world filled with smart phones and twitter feeds, we could all use some good old-fashioned connection. I bring a deep curiousity about the ways we move through the world, the stories we tell ourselves and how our relationships are affected.

Do you ever feel that being a new parent is not what you expected? Are you feeling overwhelmed or question whether you are a good enough mom? Maybe your birth plan did not go as expected and you can't seem to stop thinking about this disappointment or loss. You sometimes wonder whether you should have had a baby in the first place. Or, maybe you struggle more with racing thoughts that you can't shake off. You try very hard but you can't relax. You constantly worry throughout the day whether you are doing this parenting thing right. Have you noticed that having a baby has put a new strain on your relationship with your partner?

Relational psychotherapy can be an effective tool when grappling with: anxiety, care taking/giving tendencies, narcissistic and neglectful parenting, trauma, childhood and attachment issues (parent/child relationships), isolation, authenticity, divorce/separation, male emotionality and masculinity, meaninglessness, depression, shame, intergenerational trauma, identity, and existential angst. My practice is grounded in mindfulness and empathy and is informed by an attachment and neurobiological perspective. Additionally, my approach considers the wider social, political and economic context of your relational world.
