Therapists in Toronto, ON

If you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how to manage life's up's and down's, you might wonder whether it's possible to find peace amidst life's changes and transitions. Whether you're experiencing relationship issues, stress or anxiety, navigating a recent health diagnosis or medical trauma, or grieving a loss - I walk you through the work of identifying patterns that are keeping you stuck, so you can finally live as your most authentic self. I believe that every transition holds the potential for growth, and that it is possible to emerge on the other side feeling empowered to live in alignment with your values.

I’m an open, compassionate, and curious psychotherapist that approaches sessions from a trauma-informed lens. As a creative and an intuitive, I practice integratively, curating my approach to each unique client’s needs, personality, and intersectionality. My experience includes the treatment of depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, burnout, PTSD, phobias, grief, relationship health, relationship ruptures & infidelity, ethical & conscious non-monogamy, and gender-specific issues. I also have background in tantra & kink and am very comfortable holding space to explore sexual issues, desires, and satisfaction.

Welcome to Tudor Therapy, my name is Aglaia and I believe that the quality of our relationships lays the foundation for how we experience our life. My therapeautic approach pulls from Emotionally Focused, Narrative & Existential Therapy. This means that the meaning you make of your experiences and your unique story, will be integral to the work we do together. I work with couples and individuals to explore what relationship satisfaction means to you. If you have experienced relationship transgressions or attachment injuries, engaging in open and honest dialogue about these experiences is possible!

Emotional pain is an inherent part of the human experience, but you don’t have to go through it alone. In our sessions, we will work through your struggles and together create a clear path for you to feel in control and content with your life. You'll enter a non-judgmental space where you can truly be you, with the ability to express your innermost thoughts and feelings. I will meet you where you are in your journey with acceptance and compassion. I work with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, attachment issues and interpersonal concerns such as work, family, relationships and friendships.

Are you at home in the middle of the day eating Doritos in your PJs? Could you use a little more excellence and a little less existential dread? So many of us come to a point where we hit a wall. Distractions, hindering thoughts and the feeling of overall suspended doom eventually creeps in. Do you find yourself hating what used to be your dream job? Maybe you're watching your dreams slip away as you grapple with capitalist confinement? Or perhaps you just haven't witnessed the best version of yourself and can't wait to show up to your own life.

Are you looking for support to learn about yourself and your place in the world? As an MA in Counselling Psychology practicum student qualified to practice under clinical supervision, my goal is to create a collaborative space where you can speak without shame, judgment, or fear. I aim to support you to access and embrace your creativity, your strengths, and your love for yourself and the wider world. I believe that we all have great strength and potential, however hidden meanings and learned attachment styles can stop us from building the meaningful and fulfilling lives we desire.

Since 2001, I have supported individuals and couples to deal with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, work place stress, burnout, sexual and relationship and self-esteem issues, and existential issues related to meaning and purpose. I can help you deal with couple problems (e.g., intimacy, communication), repair your relationship after injuries, such as affairs or betrayals, and improve your sex life. I have presented at national conferences and published book chapters and peer-reviewed journal articles in the area of couples and sex therapy. I can support you to build a more, secure resilient self and strengthen your relationships.

To me, therapy is a warm, comfortable space we build together; it’s an hour outside of your everyday life, a shared place we can process whatever needs to be processed from the safety of. Care, compassion, non-judgement, and a genuine therapeutic relationship are the foundations of our work together and are my main priorities. My focus is always holistic: we have to look at every layer - from the cues your body and nervous system are giving you to the systemic messages surrounding you - to reach not just the bandaids but the deeper roots of distress and, ultimately, growth. I work from an actively affirming and anti-oppressive lens.

Daytime spots currently available on Thursdays. - In my work, I strive to help individuals and couples grow through a variety of challenges so they can live more fully and authentically. My focus is mainly on relationship therapy and on neurodiversity, but I work with people experiencing a variety of challenges and life transitions. I aim to welcome each client with non-judgmental curiosity, warmth and authenticity. My practice is neurodiversity-affirming, sex positive, kink positive, and inclusive of LGBTQIA+ communities and non-traditional relationship structures. I offer services in both English and French.

Every person who enters therapy is capable of achieving what they are seeking. By evaluating one’s lifestyle, habits, and relationships you can achieve the self-awareness needed to understand how to make changes and truly recognize your inner potential.

I support people in exploring what it means to live authentically to themselves. We can explore topics of anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, neurodiversity, family/relationship issues, sexuality, and gender. In the past, I have had the honour of working as a sex, kink and BDSM educator, teaching workshops with a focus on communication, harm-reduction, and pleasure. Other topics of interest have included radical body acceptance, navigating non-monogamy, and dating. My work is rooted in anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, intersectional feminist values. I am a queer person and second-generation settler with Lebanese ancestry.

You are hurt beyond belief. The person you trusted; the person that committed to you. The person who told you that they love you.... is the person that has betrayed you! This is a shocking discovery, even if it is not the first time! I understand the heart ache, the confusion and the difficulty in trying to navigate your present pain and work towards re-grounding yourself and healing.

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.

To be the best possible you, it is nesessary to release old wounds and transform what doesn't work. Growth and empowerment come from increasing self-awareness and making healthier more aware choices. It is my honor to assist clients in gaining the tools necessary for positive change and shift into a healthier happier way of being.
