Therapists in M2H

At times, life can feel so overwhelming that we just wish for a way out of the chaos into stillness and peace. For children of immigrants, feeling of overwhelm can be amplified by additional stressors. It is hard to try to navigate family, belonging, community, and figuring out who we are and who we want to be in what can seem like two separate worlds and identities. It is absolutely possible to find your way to happiness and inner peace and it can be helpful to have a trained professional guide and support you through that journey.

Do you feel overwhelmed when trying to find a healthy balance between your work life and your personal life? Do you find that your relationships have been affected as a result of your stress or anxiety? We tend to feel hopeless, exhausted, and defeated when we feel like we are battling our difficulties alone. My goal is to work with you to help you overcome your struggles, as well as to guide you towards making the changes in your life that you have envisioned.

We are a boutique practice consisting of a group of highly trained and accomplished healthcare professionals, dedicated to helping you make a shift towards healing using emerging and disruptive mental health care practices. Our speciality, Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy, places us at the intersection of medicine and psychology, a rapidly expanding field at a global level in which much has been achieved and much remains a deeply consequential work-in-progress.

As a therapist, I believe that safety and connection are necessary foundations for healing to take place. I strive to create a compassionate, non-judgemental and supportive space for clients to explore challenges related to anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, loneliness, life transitions, gender identity, sexuality, cultural identity, immigration, chronic pain/fatigue, transition, or grief and loss. I approach the exploration of healing with nuance, care and curiosity, and a practice embedded in anti-oppressive and trauma-informed values.

While life is full of challenges, seeking support can help us make sense of what is going on around and within us. It takes bravery to recognize when that support is needed. I am passionate about coming alongside couples and individuals experiencing relational distress and are seeking to create stronger bonds with self and others. When we experience disconnection from ourselves or those we love, our whole world can feel like it is falling apart. By working together, we will create new patterns of connecting to change the current patterns that are keeping you disconnected.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Depressed? Fearful? Have you experienced a loss of a loved one? Are you feeling stressed at work? Have trouble concentrating and thinking? Are you cranky and moody? Are family responsibilities overwhelming you? Have you experienced a major trauma? Are you dealing with chronic illness or pain? Do you want to make changes in your life but don't know how or where to begin? Psychotherapy can help you learn ways to cope with negative emotions, sort out life issues, and make changes in your personal and work life.

I am a Registered Social Worker holding a Master's in Social Work from York University. Prior to coming to Social Work, I did Doctoral work in education and taught at York University and Seneca College. I specialize in working with young adults with mild to moderate depression and anxiety, as well as individuals who identify as LGBTQ2SIA.

Are you experiencing burnout in your relationships? Do you feel overwhelmed with life's challenges? Let me help you. My therapeutic approach helps you to be more aware of your fears, resentments, anger, anxiety, negative thoughts, and undesirable habits. On the next step, I will assist you to overcome all these challenges. On every level, this process improves your relationships with family, partner, co-workers, friends, and more importantly with your own sense of self. During the course of therapy, I commit myself in providing a confidential, empathic, and collaborative approach to build an effective relationship with you.

I am a clinical therapist with over 30 years of experience working in the field of mental health and the treatment of anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, eating disorders, relationship issues,post-traumatic stress syndrome, grief, anger management, and addictions. I also provide specialized counseling for individuals who have been in trouble with the law. Following an extensive training program I am now providing Family Mediation services.

I am a dynamic, highly skilled, and dedicated psychotherapist. I have over 25 years experience working successfully with individuals, couples, and families. I understand how difficult it can be to ask for help when we’re struggling and how important it is to find a therapist you feel comfortable with. In our therapy together your strengths and resilience are honoured. You will be listened to, respected, and supported without judgement. You may come to understand coping strategies you've used to manage difficulties and decide to explore new ways to face challenges. My clients are adults of all ages, and youth.

Do you feel that you are living for others? Are you emotionally and physically burnt out from being a caregiver? Caregiver stress can result in depression, anger, anxiety, grief, isolation and can even manifest in physical illness. Caring for your own emotional and physical well-being is just as important as supporting your loved ones. I can help to relieve your mental burden so that you can continue supporting others.

I am passionate about supporting individuals on their journeys towards healing, recovery, and personal growth. I provide counselling services to children, youth, and adults of all ages.

Through my multi-disciplinary style, I use a variety of interventions and provide a non-judgemental space for you to share your story, explore your goals, and achieve a life that feels valuable to you.

I understand asking for help for the first time can feel new and scary - my priority is to make you feel comfortable and heard. I work with you to become your best self by helping you to feel unstuck, build resilience and gain personal growth. I provide a warm, open and safe space for us to discover what is bothering you, what gives you meaning, and how you'd see yourself living your best life. Together, we explore the ways you've been thinking and behaving that perhaps aren’t working for you anymore, and come up with new ways that'd empower you to live a more fulfilling life.

Life can be tumultuous at times. Difficult experiences and conflicting emotions can get the best of anyone, and it piles up like a mess. I'm here to help you sort through your struggles in an emotionally safe space. I work with individuals (ages 16+) and support them with navigating emotional challenges and mood issues. My areas of focus includes: Codependency, self-esteem issues, family of origin trauma, people-pleasing, low mood, anxiety, and life transitions such as breakup recovery, career changes, or moving to a new city. If you're ready to look inwards and talk about it, let's connect. Inner peace looks good on you!

I am a passionate registered Social Worker with over 10 years of experience working with youth and their families in various capacities. Individuals are able to continuously grow into the best versions of themselves when they are given the opportunities and conditions to build healthy relationships that provide space for trust, affirmation, and support through challenging situations in life. The crux of a healthy therapeutic relationship is trust and transparency and I have dedicated my life to offering this space. I utilize space and time to build a trusting relationship, and I commit to transparency as a vehicle to building trust.

I work with couples and individuals providing in-person therapy as well as virtual therapy which have been exceedingly popular as it provides more flexibility in today's culture. In couples therapy I incorporate gottman theory, emotionally focused therapy (EFT) and attachment therapy. I work with individuals suffering from various anxiety disorders, as well as depression, suicidality and grief related to infertility. I have an eclectic approach, incorporating cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques as well as pulling from different theoretical orientations such as attachment theory and motivational interviewing techniques.
