Lesbian Therapists in M6P

All feelings and struggles welcome! Difficult emotions, unresolved experiences and life challenges are often trying to tell us something. They also provide a sacred opportunity to connect with your values, needs, inner wisdom and understanding of the self. In our work together, compassion, curiosity, empowerment and reflection are used to provide an opportunity where you can feel safe, heard and understood. I use a blend of therapeutic modalities to best fit your therapeutic needs. I also offer a mix of day, evening and weekend appointments for flexible scheduling.

My therapeutic style is warm, accepting, flexible and conversational. I believe clients are the experts of their own lives and I approach our work together with curiosity and humility. As a queer and neurodivergent woman, I understand how the systems we live within shape our lives, and am committed to an intersectional, feminist, anti-oppressive approach to therapy. I take an eclectic approach with clients, pulling from different modalities to best suit the needs of the client and what feels right for them.

If you are struggling with overwhelming emotions, relationship issues, trauma, or marginalization, you may find hope and empowerment through therapy. As a queer, non-binary therapist, I focus on social justice and how oppression can both impact you and be resisted on a personal level. I will support you to work with overwhelming emotions so that they don’t control you or damage your relationships, and instead guide you towards a more fulfilling life. Through a supportive and collaborative relationship, we can deeply understand your experiences, help you heal from their impacts, and work towards your hopes for your life.

I believe that encountering painful moments and periods of hardship is inevitable and can bring us into contact with the most fundamental parts of ourselves. Instead of avoiding these experiences, I am interested in working with you to explore them with curiosity and self-compassion. Healing is a nonlinear process that takes time, and some things may always be unresolved; I see therapy as a safe space to collaboratively explore and articulate different facets of your experience, set therapeutic goals, and work together to create desired changes.

Let's build resilience, motivation, self-esteem, and coping skills by unpacking your past experiences, examining current life factors, and finding a healthy path forward. Challenges like anxiety, depression, family conflict, addiction, or legal issues can be deeply overwhelming and isolating. You don't have to do it alone. You deserve a supportive space to vent and process without judgement.

Welcome! Wherever you are on your journey, finding your way here and reaching out to connect with someone new is a big step, one which takes courage! In my role as a professional listener, I know you are uniquely qualified to know what is best for you. My goal is to create a space that is shaped around your needs where your thoughts, feelings, and deep self-knowledge can be accessed and recognized. My approach is humanistic as well as integrative/eclectic, and I am currently accepting new clients!

We are living in difficult times. Many people today are feeling alienated from themselves and others, feeling anxious or depressed. Some are feeling little or nothing; others are overwhelmed, having difficulties with relationships, or they're confused about their direction in life. Wherever you are, I will meet you there with kind attention and encouragement, and together we will unravel your tensions and discover how to help you find your inner strength and resourcefulness. I have been practising as a Registered Social Worker/Psychotherapist for over 20 years and have helped many people find greater health and fulfillment in life.

Feeling underwhelmed or stuck in your life? Burnt out and exhausted? Do you get a sense of disappointment, sadness, or confusion, or one of purpose, motivation, and contentment? Our careers, families, friends, partners, and our own interests, can help us feel connected and content. They can also wreck emotional havoc - exposing our unmet needs and wounds, keeping us stuck in patterns that keep the misery going. Had enough of stress, exhaustion, and dissatisfaction? With my assistance, you can regain your balance and peace of mind to live a productive, purposeful, and content life.

I understand the feeling of struggling to exist as your genuine self in a world that feels against you, in an environment that feels suffocating, and in a relationship that feels unendurable. Our lives do not exist in a bubble, and our experiences are impacted by the intersecting identities each of us hold. When we reach out for help, we are hoping that someone can understand us and hold space for our stories. I work with people every day who are looking for support in understanding how they can live congruently with their own values and core beliefs.

Are you experiencing feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, grief and other overwhelming emotions? Are you navigating the lasting effects of trauma and its impact your identity and relationships? Often our symptoms are part of survival mechanisms that helped us in the past. Unfortunately, they can lead to unwanted behaviours in our present lives that can cause us shame and self-loathing. What you really deserve is compassion and care towards your pain. It takes a great deal of courage to embark on a path of healing and growth, and I consider it a privilege to work along side you throughout your journey.

Many people hold the belief that challenges with emotional and mental well-being are a result of difficulty in coping, functioning, or adaptability. We may attempt to use willpower, intellect, and behavioural changes to tackle these issues; if these attempts fail to bring us inner peace or lasting change, we can begin to feel ashamed, alone, and stagnant. It is my belief that challenges with mental health, emotion, and relationships do not exist in a vacuum. These are more than personal failings at coping and functioning. Once we settle into this understanding, we can begin to uncover the deeper questions of your healing work.

Hello! My name Alysia Morrow (she/her), MSW., RSW. I am a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. I am also registered with the Ontario Association of Social Workers. Over the course of my career, I have completed my BA (couples and family therapy) at the University of Waterloo; Bachelor of Social Work at the University of Victoria; and Master of Social Work at the University of Toronto. I am currently completing a certificate from Laurier University in Death, Dying and Bereavement, with a special focus on MAiD.

I believe healing happens in engaging the particularities of our stories. My goal in therapy is to hold compassionate space for your story; past and present. Whether you're working on relationships, work or personal growth I offer a holistic, integrative approach with a focus on your goals and preferences. My main methods integrate somatic, person-centred, internal family systems, cognitive and attachment based theories.

I believe that the most important stories are the ones we tell ourselves. At times in our lives, these stories can cause us to get stuck, be led off course, or feel overwhelmed by our emotions. I see therapy as a space to understand and explore the impact of our thoughts, beliefs, and actions on our emotional experience. Through this exploration, you can gain a greater understanding of yourself and learn valuable skills to improve your mental health. I aim to work collaboratively with my clients to help them engage in this process and to achieve meaningful and lasting change.

Welcome! In my practice, I use an integrative approach to meet the unique needs of each client and family I work with.  This includes practicing with a relational, attachment focused, and strengths-based theoretical base, along with an anti-oppressive and trauma-informed framework with clients. I incorporate modalities such as mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. These modalities can help clients gain insight into their circumstances, empower them towards/reach their goals and learn ways to effectively manage life’s challenges.
