Therapists in L9G

I believe everyone is capable of feeling whole. That is to say, living with purpose, feeling confident, calm, and meaningfully connected to themselves and others. And to get there, you don’t need to do it alone. Our sessions will feel collaborative, curious and validating, allowing you to set the pace for what we focus on and explore.

Assessments, Diagnosis, Treatment and Counselling for Adolescents, Adults, Couples and families. Life is full of challenges. Emotional crises can affect any individual, couple or family.

We provide a safe place, professional support, and the tools to help. Bringing Balance to Mind, Body & Spirit

I provide comprehensive psychological or psycho-educational assessments for children, adolescents, and adults. Assessments explore a variety of factors important to your success (or the success of your child) at school, at work, in relationships, and in coping with the demands of everyday life. Where appropriate, I will make a diagnosis of a neurodevelopmental or mental health condition that can help you or your child access needed educational, medical, mental health, and/or community supports and services. A comprehensive report will include any relevant diagnoses as well as recommended strategies and resources.

"Sometimes when it feels that life is falling apart, it is actually falling into place". During our life's journey all of us experience times of loss, despair, and loneliness. During these occasions we are often unable to see the patterns we need to change. I have previously spent many years practicing as a nurse. I came to realize that healing the body was less meaningful if the mind is struggling with personal pain. As a student Intern at the Living Institute in Toronto I have found a profession much more fulfilling to my souls purpose: helping people through talk therapy.

Are you seeking relief from stress, anxiety, or trauma-related triggers? Are you learning to navigate uncertainty or change, or struggling to set healthy boundaries? Finding a supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings is important. My goal is to help you deepen your insight and develop self-awareness as we foster a sense of resiliency, empowerment and focus on your strengths. I take a collaborative and honest approach to wellness, and I aim to create a safe space for you to honour your feelings as you pursue self-reflection and growth.

I take a holistic approach to mental and behavioural healthcare, considering your experiences in individual (personal well-being), interpersonal (family/close relationships), and social (work/school/relationships) domains into specialized treatment planning. Guided by principles of client-centered theory, I empathically and collaboratively help you identify your goals for positive growth. My passion for fostering meaningful connections and commitment to cultural sensitivity result in a safe, judgment-free therapeutic space where clients safely explore problems that hinder their emotional wellbeing and personal development.

Sometimes life can be difficult and these challenges can cause a sense of suffering in ourselves and those we care about. It can all feel overwhelming and exhausting, making it difficult to know what to do or where to turn for help. It takes courage to reach out for support so that you don’t have to suffer alone. Counselling can provide the opportunity to learn to share and process one’s struggles in a safe and non-judgemental space. Learning how to foster self-directed kindness and self-compassion can help nurture an individual’s personal growth and resilience.

Hi, my name is Elizabeth Idowu and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). My aim is to provide a safe space where my clients can feel seen and heard, as they embark on a journey towards peace, progress and healing. As a Nigerian-Canadian woman, I have both personally endured and been exposed to the struggles of others who look like me and share similar experiences. That is why I make it a priority to create and hold space for those who may struggle with their identity, and relate to experiences of feeling unheard and unseen.

Sometimes life can be challenging, and making changes feels daunting, and for young people it can be even harder. I specialize in helping children and youth cope with stressors and live their lives to the fullest. I can help parents and children navigate mental health diagnoses such as ADHD, anxiety, depression and ODD. I also support adult clients experiencing low self-esteem, child behavioural issues, trauma, family conflicts and parenting difficulties. I draw on modalities such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Solution Focused Therapy (SFT).

My approach to therapy involves integrating an individual's unique strengths with evidence-based therapeutic techniques. I specialize in providing therapy to children, adolescents, adults, and individuals living with a developmental disability.

I utilize a number of techniques and therapies including Mindfulness, Trauma-informed care, Play-based therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
