Therapists in Ontario

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

I have 27 years of experience working in the field of mental health in various roles. As a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist my focus areas are working with grief and loss, shame, anxiety, and self esteem. My approach is informed by the Existential/Humanistic perspective, compassionate inquiry, and mindfulness approaches.

In our sessions, expect empathetic, intentional spaces which acknowledge the layers of marginalization, oppression, trauma, and healing that shape us. This space will be for sharing stories that affirm every part of your identity, reconnecting you to your values, experiences and goals for healing and growth. Using a range of therapeutic approaches, including, narrative, humanistic, existential and strength-based methods, I aim to tailor our work to meet your unique needs. I embrace trauma-informed, decolonizing, anti-oppressive and intersectional therapeutic principles.

If you're feeling disconnected, distracted, and detached from your life, it may be time to look at why. Why can't I connect, why am I not able to just "get over" my past, or why does it all feel so meaningless? Maybe there are other questions, like “what am I doing with my life” or “who do I want to be?”. It’s okay to take time that's just for you, to look at your life and see both the big picture and explore the often overlooked details. With the right support, you can feel more present, connected, and in control of your life.

Welcome! I offer private in-person, phone, or online individual and couples therapy. I understand that reaching out for support can be difficult and intimidating. Therapy can help you improve relationships with yourself and others, process grief, discover solutions, cope with crises, heal from betrayal, infidelity & past trauma, learn healthier coping mechanisms, reduce stress and anxiety, and even prevent future emotional and mental health issues. I will provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can process your thoughts and emotions, grieve, and work towards better understanding yourself to improve your overall well-being.

I have been working in the field for over 25 years, supporting people who are dealing with personal difficulties of different kinds: sadness, depression, sex and sexuality related issues, dating/intimacy/broken-heart, anxiety, trauma, grief, immigration and displacement related issues, existential and mid-life crises, or simply "figuring out" their life. I provide compassionate, empathic, non-judgemental, and both intellectually and emotionally rewarding therapy experience.

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.

I provide psychotherapy which is grounded on listening and understanding. There is much for me to hear before I get the full picture of what is going on in your life, and lots to discover for you and me together before the time comes for my expert advice. My main discovery of the last decade is that people can come to many therapists, for many times and yet not become ready ever to say openly what is the matter. It is why I know my clients need time to assume that I am really on their side. To figure out, bit by bit, what the possible advice or solution can be and then help you to do that we decide to do, I have my basic training in client-centered psychotherapy (“by Carl Rogers”), and I am a very, very orthodox Rogerian therapist. In addition, I have studied cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectic-behavioral therapy, music psychotherapy and non-directive child play psychotherapy. I will apply in your situation that which matches your particular needs. Also, I realized that some ideas of psychoanalysis, Adlerian psychotherapy, Existential therapy and Logotherapy can be helpful as well.

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.

I am a Ph.D. Registered Psychotherapist practicing at, and directing, Ottawa Psychotherapy Center (ottawapsychotherapycenter.com). I use evidence-based interventions to resolve difficulties in the now, while promoting growth overall. I see myself make the most meaningful contributions in Crisis & Trauma, which first called me to the profession over a decade ago, and for advancing Self-Growth & Self-Development through emotional, relational, professional, somatic, spiritual, or sexual focus. I also research, teach & train so that I, too, can continue to grow.

You might be looking to increase psychological fitness, or make sense of past wounds, or make a change in your present way of being in the world – I offer a safe, non judgmental and supportive space to facilitate your healing. My work is to help you experience who you truly are, harness your personal strength and overcome your challenges. I work with a firm belief in the resilience of the human spirit and this belief is supported by a solid educational base, a multi-cultural variety of life experience, and a range of counselling skills and tools that makes it possible for me to meet your individual needs.

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.

Welcome! I might be a good match for you as a therapist if you want support around existential, sexual, or relationship issues. Existential issues might include exploring meaning and purpose in life. Sexual issues might include things like processing shame and moving toward a picture of sexual health and wellness - whatever that looks like for you. Relationship issues might include deepening your understanding of your relationship with yourself, your family of origin, your chosen family, your partner/s, and/or your community.
