Therapists in Toronto, ON

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!

Are you working through challenges, or seeking growth? Have your tried methods not been especially true? You may not have a coherent formulation of what you seek (especially for those new to therapy); part of my job is to help you reach those insights and feel hope or excitement for the change to come. If you're reticent, I welcome you to a commitment-free chat to get a better sense of the process. If you're ready and want to make a change, now is the time. My door is always open.

Phone or online video support for Frontline Healthcare Workers for Covid-19 Pandemic. Stress, anxiety, burnout, PTSD. You want change and are open to looking at yourself in a new way. I offer a space to explore ways to incorporate feelings into your existence and integrate them with your thinking mind, so that you can make more informed choices about how to live. I believe you have the inner knowledge to grow and live more in harmony with who you really are. By listening well, being present and responding genuinely, I will help you tap into your own resources.

Psychoanalysis is a way to understand and overcome different levels and forms of stress generated by challenging events or deficits occurring in human life. Those undesirable events are sometimes too intense to affect human personality and cause suffering and challenging existential moments. In those moments, we feel the emotional need for personal psychological support that implies not only professional readiness and personal maturity to help but also concrete humanistic values cultivated in our professional ethics.

I offer an honest, compassionate, and collaborative space where we examine and engage with your challenges and conflicts. Perhaps you're struggling with your thoughts and feelings or you find yourself stuck. As we grapple with your challenges truthfully, we may find new insights and ways to navigate life. Beyond labels, let us be curious about your relationships with yourself and the world around you. I believe there is wisdom to be found in our suffering, and I hope our work brings you the insights that help you to live better. My approach is supportive and challenging, emphatic and direct.

As a philosophical therapist, I offer a supportive environment in which to explore your thoughts and emotions, as well as stimulating dialogue in which you will strengthen your ability to face challenges by using creative and deeply reflective thinking. The idea is to think big and come at problems from a fresh and sometimes surprising perspective. I also help problem-solve at the level of habits, when it's time to put our philosophical reflections into practice and make desired changes at the level of daily living. The goal is to discover a greater sense of possibility and to use that to live with greater clarity and authenticity.

Design the life you want. Address your limited beliefs/ trauma & develop a newer, freer & empowered you. Specializing in 1) supporting individuals coping with narcissistic abuse, emotional immaturity & dysfunctional family dynamics, including scapegoating, 2) enhancing relationships using the evidence-based Gottman Method, and 3) guiding high-functioning professionals towards a more optimal and efficient lifestyle. As a Registered Social Worker in good standing with the Ontario College of Social Workers, I am committed to helping you develop deeper insights into your challenges & equipping you with effective tools to navigate them.

Undisturb yourself! Using CBT, Existential, and Mindfulness forms of psychotherapy, I help clients (in-person/ telephone/ on-line) develop the tools in order that they think, act and feel better. Sometimes the realities of life understandably leave us susceptible to certain anxieties, despair and general existential concern. All too often we find ourselves developing unhelpful irrational thoughts and behaviours that can seem impossible to change. But they aren't. If you are interested in investigating and changing your assumptions and behaviours, if you want to modify the lens through which you view and experience the world, my therapeutic modality could be well suited to you.

We're all in this together. We all need someone to talk to, to confide in. We are social beings and connection is a vital element of healthy living. We can talk. Perhaps the big questions in life ("Why am I here?", "What's the point?", "What now?") might be keeping you up at night, or perhaps stress with relationships, work, or family feels overwhelming. The world can be a lot sometimes, it can all feel overwhelming, but you are resilient. Together, we can grow, adapt and learn to navigate all of this. I offer both in-person and online-therapy and have some spots left!

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 depressed and/or anxious? Are you suffering from low self-esteem? Are you experiencing relationship problems? Do you procrastinate and are unable to motivate yourself? Do you need someone to talk to? At the Mor Centre we recognize that getting through college and university poses many difficult challenges that might interfere with academic success and functioning in everyday life. We provide a professional and supportive environment helping our clients develop resiliency, problem solving skills, and the achievement of personal goals through individual and group counseling, career counseling, and mastering learning skills.

I am a clinical and health psychologist with experience in a wide range of presenting concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and difficulty coping with stress. I have a particular focus on the intersection of physical and mental health, and support those dealing with chronic or life-threatening illness and grief, as well as those impacted by mood changes and difficulty coping around the time of pregnancy and early parenting. I aim to be a warm, dynamic, and engaging therapist, and use an integrative approach which draws on cognitive behavioural (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), existential, and relational approaches.

The complexities of trauma can have a profound effect on us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I work with you as a gentle and compassionate guide as we navigate the core wounds and hidden elements in the depths of the mind, body, and soul. I believe we all possess an inner compass that knows what we need in order to heal and enrich our lives. I can help you discover and develop yours. I offer you a safe space that welcomes the whole self, to not only address presenting issues, but also to uncover underlying feelings and influences that may be hidden within.

Welcome. I’m happy you’re here because it means you believe things can get better, and that means you have hope. Hope is a great starting point. All of us woke up in this place called life, and none of us got a manual, let me help you make the most of it. I strive to create a warm, collaborative, and welcoming atmosphere where your bravery and vulnerability are met with a non-judgmental and curious attitude that allows for new insights and self-awareness to surface. I love walking alongside my client’s on their journey to build resilience, tenacity and self-leadership.

I consider it a privilege to work with my clients to feel better amid life's many challenges. Whether it's through modifying habitual negative thinking, developing greater self-awareness or moving past unhelpful patterns in relationships, I help my clients make positive changes in their lives. In therapy, we begin with a thorough exploration of your background and concerns, then collaborate to set concrete therapeutic goals to improve mental health and well-being, manage symptoms, and create meaning in life. My training includes degrees from Yale University and University of Toronto, and I've been in private practice for ten years.

While suffering is an inherent part of the human experience, conditions of systemic oppression distribute it unevenly. To survive the difficult realities of life, we develop habitual patterns to manage psychological pain, often at the expense of our values and creativity. Psychotherapy can help raise our awareness, transform protective mechanisms, and release difficult emotions.

I believe that we are all in a continuous process of identifying our internal resources, embracing our own creativity and mobilizing our psychic energy. My aim for therapy is to help my clients arrive at a personal, yet structured and novel, understanding of themselves, others and the world around them. I invite my clients to enrich their personal narratives and use their own unique abilities and skills. Each session is a collaborative attempt to elaborate on the client’s mental map. Each conversation is a mutual dialogue on how you could experience yourself differently.

My areas of interest range from helping the LGBTQIA+ population deal with self-acceptance and self-esteem to helping adolescents and adults grapple with life transitions, complex grief, anxiety and depression. I also enjoy working with couples and families within these areas, particularly in a multicultural context. Therapy is both a science and an art, and you and I can weave the tapestry of your healing experience through techniques that allure both the intellectual and subconscious minds. By integrating these two aspects of your sense of being, I can help you tap into your wiser self.

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.
