Welcome! Let me start out by telling you what I tell all my potential clients: Therapy is such an individual process and so much of it has to do with finding the right therapist. Many of us have similar training and areas of expertise but we all differ in personality. I want to use this space here to give you an idea of my vibe and approach. I’m a little quirky with a gentle approach and strong ability to challenge you and explore with you. I can sit with you in heavy spaces, difficult feelings, and complex thoughts.

I believe that each individual has the capacity for growth through self-awareness and acceptance. I have supported individuals to recognize their optimal potential, develop and maintain healthy meaningful relationships, while making choices that are in the interest of oneself and others. I help my clients free themselves from disabling assumptions and attitudes so they can live fuller lives. As a trauma-informed therapist, I aim to create a warm, non-judgmental environment to facilitate growth and change.

The human experience is full of ups and downs, and we will all encounter challenges that require us to adjust and adapt. However, you do not have to cope with life’s challenges on your own. Whether you are grappling with anxiety, stress, low mood, grief, anger, relationship/family troubles, or trauma, I am here to offer you support and guidance as you embark on your journey of healing and empowerment. Together, we can work on exploring and developing the tools that you need to live a purposeful and meaningful life.

Are you feeling stuck and struggle to find a way forward? Perhaps you’re dealing with a job loss, career transition, relationship challenges, or death of a loved one. You may be overwhelmed by feelings of sadness, confusion, fear, grief, anxiety, heartache, isolation, or uncertainty. You want to find a way through how you’re feeling but struggle to find the right direction, solutions, or strength to move forward.

If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

If you are feeling scared, anxious, depressed, angry, burned out or hopeless, then this is the right first step on the path of healing. Often we have tried to manage things alone, finding ways to cope but it isn't making a dent in our day to day lives. Past trauma, challenging relationships and unresolved issues can eat away at us, robbing us of a peaceful and fulfilling life. You may want to find relief from your emotional pain and the accompanying stress so you can feel better, have deeper clarity and be able to move forward in life.

Life can be overwhelming. Like many individuals, you may be struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression, fear, loss and grief. Mental health challenges such as addictions, sleep disturbances and chronic health conditions are on the rise and often are related to traumatic life events. As your therapist, my goal is to foster a nonjudgmental and authentic environment allowing you to safely explore what is holding you back and find a path towards growth and resilience. Together, we will look at your current situation more in depth and help you overcome the obstacles that cause you to feel so overwhelmed.

All stages of the parenting journey come with rewards and challenges. From fertility treatments to becoming a new parent, you might feel like you’re on a rollercoaster of emotions. You didn’t think it would be this hard and you’ve never felt so alone. Family members are stressing you out and you can’t shake the feeling that somehow you’re doing it all ‘wrong’. If you’re struggling with grief, loss, birth trauma, or defining yourself as a parent, counseling can help you start to feel like yourself again. With specialized training in perinatal mental health, I can offer you support wherever you are on your parenting journey.

Life can be a struggle at times; it's part of the journey of being human. Are you feeling stressed and thinking about seeking psychotherapy? I am a Toronto, Ontario psychologist with 20+ years of experience, with a clinical focus on adults (anxiety, depression, pregnancy, post-partum, parenting issues, high achieving perfectionistic professionals, difficulties with life-work balance, impact on self-esteem), university students, adolescents and families (of all ages). As a clinician I strive to bring warmth, kindness and humour to the therapeutic dialogue, hoping to create a safe, respectful, collaborative and supportive environment.

When overwhelming emotions limit the pursuit of our responsibilities or passions in life there are effective strategies that can help regulate and minimize the emotional storms as well as provide the resilience needed to thrive in your life despite those storms. Life can be very difficult, unlike physical pain that is usually hard to ignore therefore treatment is sought after, emotional pain is unfortunately often ignored hoping it goes away. Anger, stress, anxiety, low moods, loss and relationship upheavals are all issues that can be better worked through with professional support through those storms. My name is Tim Kahtava, I
