Therapists in West Toronto, Toronto, ON

Hello, my name is Debbie Papadakis. My goal is to empower you to unfold your inherent potential by accessing the subconscious mind using a combination of psychotherapy with hypnotherapy to help you live a healthy, wealthy, productive and happy life. For more than 25 years, I have worked with a wide variety of individuals, couples and groups from diverse backgrounds to help empower them to overcome limiting beliefs, unwanted behaviours, negative thoughts and emotions, addictions and/or afflictions, fears and phobias that were hindering them from achieving their goals, unleashing their full potential, and living in harmony.

We humans suffer because we don’t get what we want and get what we don’t want. Most of us want to find a quick cure to our emotional pain. Quick cures sedate the pain which is the source of Wisdom, Compassion, Understanding and Real Love. My approach is for the person who wants to answer the timeless questions of: “Who am I?”, “Where did I come from?”, “Where am I going?” from their own depths and to their full understanding. It is in this journey, through self-inquiry, that they become happier, wiser and more compassionate.

Some of the most difficult and painful moments in our lives have the potential to be the most beautiful and meaningful.

What you need is someone to witness and share in the pain, grief and joy of being alive.

I have spent the previous three years working in the community-based child and youth mental health sector. I support young people and their families navigate challenges related to emotions, behaviour and family conflict. I have experience working with queer, Trans and neurodiverse folks and families. I offer therapy for children and teen individually (ages 6 to18), family therapy and parent coaching. I primarily operate using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy and Emotion-Focused Family Therapy.

I understand the idea of starting therapy can be intimidating and overwhelming. It takes courage to take that leap and begin facing your thoughts and feelings. As your therapist I make sure you feel understood, heard and validated. I provide individualized, creative and collaborative care for children, adolescents and young adults who are experiencing a variety of mental health concerns, including trauma, anxiety, depression and self-esteem issues. ​

I have run men's groups for nearly 30 years helping men become more effective and loving husbands partners, fathers and sons as well as better stewards in their outside world.The aim of this Men's Group is to create a context where each man is able to be honest, vulnerable and feel safe enough to speak his previously undisclosed inner truth in the presence of other supportive men, and to feel and show emotions other than anger. A place where men can feel their deepest emotions - laugh and cry and restore a true brotherhood.

Are you struggling in your relationships with others? Relationships are complex and could be complicated. Yet, as human beings, we need others, and when there are challenges in our relationships we suffer and struggle. We all need to be loved and cared for, yet we often push away the very people we want to be close to. Rejection or the fear of it, could be so painful and makes us withdraw, isolate or hurt back. As a result, we may feel inadequate, unlovable, unworthy, and hopeless. Deep down, we want to feel connected, and we want to feel good about ourselves, and at peace.

Are you worried about your child? Struggling as a family? Unsure what kind of support might be helpful, or even what's available? We know that parenting can be tough - and when things feel out of balance, chaotic or overwhelming, it can feel unmanageable. We are here to support you and your child in developing the skills, supports and knowledge you need to thrive. We offer a child and teen friendly, engaging and judgement-free approach. We are experienced in supporting many different family constellations, including blended families, single-parent homes and same-sex parents.
