Online Counselling for M4W

In my years of practice, my focus has been centred around individuals from different walks of life (i.e race, religion, gender, sexual orientation etc). Particularly, ones who have trauma, body image issues, low self esteem, fibromyalgia, phobias and/or are anxious, depressed, stressed, destructive, angry, lonely, abused and in or have been in the child welfare system. In regards to my approach, I am genuine and compassionate, but remain equally honest and direct. Rather than bombarding clients with endless questions, I aim to engage them through meaningful methods and effective interventions.

I really enjoy working with clients motivated for growth and change, and curious about themselves; what makes them "tick". The depth of my craft involves creating and holding a therapeutic space or "container", enabling my clients to turn inwards and discover what moves them unseen. Patterns in personality and emotion emerge into view; emotional processes become unstuck and able to flow through to resolution. An inner space opens for something new. It is a tremendous honour and privilege to accompany and serve people on this journey as a trusted ally, a witness, and expert midwife of psychological change.

I know the struggles you could go through in life, and I'm here to help. I help clients struggling with gender identity, trauma, boundaries, porn addiction, breakups, relationship issues, body image, self-confidence, identity crisis, personality disorders, grief and loss, adjusting to new life changes, and many more. I am a registered psychotherapist qualifying in practice for two years. I graduated Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University in Canada. I follow the psychodynamic approach in therapy. I also has addiction recovery coaching background from the ICF .

As a Registered Psychotherapist in the Province of Ontario, I have been working in the field of counselling for over twenty years, providing Psychotherapy and Counseling to adolescents and adults in both individual and group settings. In a collaborative, compassionate and non-judgemental environment, I take an integrative approach, drawing upon a variety of interventions including cognitive behavioural, psychodynamic, relational and solution focused strategies. I hope to foster healing experiences for my clients that are empowering and pro-active.

As a psychologist, my goal is to support my clients to deepen self-understanding and awareness while calming and alleviating present distress. I welcome working with adult individuals and couples from all racial, religious, cultural, gender identity, and sexual orientation backgrounds.

Hello, my name is Yone Teixeira, and I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro. Since 2007, I have been living and working in Toronto. I am a registered member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I provide receipts that are covered by most extended health care insurance plans. My approach to psychotherapy is psychodynamic or psychoanalytic, aimed at alleviating psychological distress and symptoms. Our focus is on the core aspects of a patient's life, including their personality, relationships, and inner world (unconscious). This is achieved through a respectful dialogue between the patient and myself.

Are you overwhelmed with anxiety, fear, changes, or not sure how to navigate difficult emotions or painful memories? It is frustrating when you don't know where to turn, when to speak up, or how to connect with different parts of yourself. Therapy offers you the space to slow down in a supportive and non-judgmental environment, so you can connect to and care for all parts of yourself, and explore new ways of seeing and being seen. It holds space for your relational and personal realities so you can gain a new understanding of yourself and allow yourself to be heard and accepted with all your fears and complexities.

Different life circumstances can drive us to seek help and support in therapy. It could be grief, shame, anxiety, or a struggle to communicate. Our desire to understand ourselves better, care for ourselves, and to make sense of how our past is affecting our present. Whatever it is that brings you here, your difficult feelings and experiences shine a light on the parts of you that seek understanding, compassion, attention, care and love.

You might find yourself facing moments of fear, doubt, and insecurity while pursuing a fulfilling life. It is my passion to support you through your unique challenges, whether they are rooted in anxiety, mood swings, or the effects of being raised by a narcissistic parent. I believe that there is a wealth of resilience and untapped potential within you to take you toward inner freedom.

Are you finding it hard to connect with yourself and others? Have you been feeling down, disinterested, withdrawn or anxious? Perhaps recent experiences have left you feeling crippled with self-doubt. Or maybe the best way to describe it is simply that you’re feeling stuck? I would like to help. Together we will identify persisting patterns of relating to the self and your environment that leave you feeling this way. We will chart a course to self-awareness and acceptance through alternative paths and choices. Using a psychodynamic approach, I create a safe space for us to explore difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

I see clients with a range of issues including attachment, family conflict, disconnect, trauma, anxiety, addiction and depression. I believe that everyone has a distinct way of expressing their past experiences and challenges in their daily lives, and that it is my job to help people to examine and understand themselves, and to find new ways of being. My approach is open and supportive, and I bring creativity, compassion and a sense of wonder to our work together.
