"I will help you more effectively cope with how the Coronavirus situation may be triggering your anxiety, stress, and depression. In any situation, including the coronavirus one, we all bring our own unique psychological traits with us into those circumstances. And while we can’t change the situation itself, we can change the way we react to it. Relatively new to Canada, I have over 20 years of experience in private practice in Manhattan as a PhD psychologist, treating all types of difficulties and age groups. I specialize in individual, couples, and family therapy. "

"In psychotherapy, I'll help you take a step back, to see things more clearly and make changes. In Toronto, practicing for over 25 years, I work with people struggling in their family relationships, or those in high distress from loss, grief & trauma, or people trying to cope with eating disorders, anxiety, or emotional pain."

"Welcome! It seems that you may be struggling with life challenges at the moment (i.e., relationship issues, work issues, loss, etc.), or, perhaps, anxiety, unwelcome thoughts, or apathy are getting in the way of you having the life you want. These are some of the common issues that people bring to my office. I have experience working with individuals, couples and groups, and I draw from extensive professional training to ensure you reach your desired outcome. This could include moving through old and/or new issues, making changes, improving relationships, increasing your vitality."

"***Online Support*** It’s safe to say that this pandemic has caught all of us off-guard and brought to the forefront fear and anxiety about our well-being, the health of our loved ones and our financial futures. This is a difficult time but it’s important to remember that you don't have to go through it alone. It is my intention to support and see-you-through this time of anxiety and uncertainty. I have immediate availability for low-cost virtual sessions- whether short term for support during our time of crisis or interest in long term support as we rise to the other side of this time of isolation."

"Are you feeling paralyzed by unpredictability, indecision, loneliness, anxiety, rejection, grief, fear, anger, or sadness? Therapy is a powerful way to face the difficulties inherent in being human. Although many of us learn to avoid pain, few of us learn the road to more lasting relief. Together, we will bring clarity to your inner thoughts, feelings and hopes as you actualize a more peaceful and purposeful life. Drawing from my training and experience, we'll devise a unique plan to develop strategies toward achieving your goals."

"I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and a member of the Canadian Association for Psychodynamic Therapy (CAPT). I completed a Bachelor of Psychology from the Belarusian State University in 2004 and a Bachelor of Clinical Psychology from the joint program of the Belarusian State University and Lateran University (Pisa, Italy) in 2004. I received my certification as a Gestalt Therapist from the Moscow Gestalt Institute in 2004 and again from the Gestalt Institute of Toronto in 2016.

"Deciding to seek support is not always easy. Typically it's made when a conflict gets to the point where it can no longer be managed alone. Once the decision has been made, there can be fear or unease around talking about vulnerable emotions or life situations. I recognizes the courage that it takes to reach out for help, and endeavour to work from a framework of empowerment so clients can uncover their inherent strengths and abilities. Solutions to our troubles often lie within, however the journey to uncovering these is one that many people struggle to walk alone."

"As a professional with training and experience in general psychotherapy, sexuality, relationships, personal wellness, LGBTQ communities and trauma (simple and complex), my practice includes treating adult individuals on topics like emotion regulation, anxiety, depression, coping skills, childhood abuse, self-esteem & body image, sexuality & sexual addiction, gender, grief, substance use & addictions, as well as family and relationships issues."

"Hi, I'm a psychotherapist and registered social worker. My approach focuses on helping you to better understand and cope with issues such as anxiety, self esteem, and relationship struggles. Together, we'll explore patterns, defenses, goals, and whatever else comes up in a session! I view therapy as an investment in yourself that can help with existing problems and open up opportunities for the future. Phone sessions available."

"Are you involved with a pathological narcissist/a personality disordered person (NPD)? If so, you may be feeling confused, uncertain and even unsafe in your relationship. You tolerate strange, hurtful and abusive behaviour from this person. You wonder if this is really happening...? It is! It's not your fault you were targeted, but it is difficult to heal from the effects of it on your own. I offer recovery therapy that works."

"I am a relational, attachment-based psychodynamic therapist, trained in a number of other therapeutic approaches as well. As everyone is unique, I interact with each person as they are and in their own terms. I don't have a template that I apply to all cases, but am flexible and responsive to each person's unique way of being. I am particularly experienced in working with emotional neglect and abuse, physical/sexual trauma, mood disorders and dissociation; as well as low self-esteem, self-harm (including eating disorders and addiction), identity issues (gender, sexuality and culture) and relationship difficulties."

"*Accepting new clients* You've spent years hiding your emotional pain away from yourself, struggling with life's challenges, and experiencing a sense of "stuckness" in your life. As someone who has been on my own path to healing, I recognize the courage and strength it takes to reach out to someone for help. I will meet you where you are - be another human being in the room. You can expect to find a warm, calm space with empathetic listening. A compassionate space for collaboratively exploring your healing. Psychotherapy offers the chance for pinpointing the emotional pain that we've so effectively hidden away from ourselves."

"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."

"I work with individuals with varying cultural, spiritual, sexual, and gender identities. My clients are often having difficulty managing the demands of daily life. Sometimes a new baby, a demanding career, a difficult relationship, or past trauma. I support people experiencing the effects of stress, anxiety, depression and post-partum depression and parenting challenges, relationship difficulties, and complex mental health concerns such as psychosis and bipolar disorder. Whether you are looking for a therapist to help process your distress, introduce new skills, or simply listen, my goal is to support you in accomplishing yours."

"I'm a multi-disciplinary creative and expressive arts therapist. Basically this means that I use a wide variety of art forms in my practice as well as talk therapy. In working together, we could use anything from drama, visual arts, creative writing, poetry, movement, music and more. We may even move from one art form to another to see if there are any new discoveries waiting. The art form depends on what feels best in the moment and what feels right for you. You don't need a background in the arts, only a willingness to create."

"Welcome! You're here because you want to make a change in your life. Maybe you're not sure how, or where. That's ok. Together, we can try to understand why things are happening, find root causes, and identify patterns. Together we can make a custom plan to address your challenges, practice new skills, and find happiness, purpose, or relief. I've seen it: things can get better. I specialize in (1) relationships & sex, (2) anxiety, (3) trauma & healing, (4) stress management, and (5) issues specific to the LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, two-spirited, queer) communities. I have over 10 years experience as a therapist."

"Life experiences can be challenging and may sometimes feel overwhelming. Deciding to try therapy is a step toward seeing things differently and doing things differently. I am a social worker with more than fifteen years’ experience supporting the social and emotional development of youth, adults, couples and families. I offer a welcoming and affirming therapeutic space to explore your experiences, identify your strengths and help you develop strategies for living the life you want."

"I work with clients to identify concerns relating to histories of trauma, symptoms related to mental health concerns, relationship issues, self-esteem, stress and anxiety, depression, concerns related to sexuality, gender, and sexual orientation."

"Life can be challenging and is often stressful. Multiple stress factors affects the quality of life and create psychological disorders. You may experience those challenges in a number of different ways: difficulties adjusting, confusion about direction and motivation in life, struggles at work, in relationships etc. As a result, you may feel anxious, depressed, angry or overwhelmed at times and need a better viewpoint to deal with those feelings and problems."

"My practice includes a range of people and issues and I enjoy that diversity. You bring a curiosity about yourself and a desire for something different in your life. A common denominator is your need to be seen and heard for who you are. I am honoured to be an insightful guide to my clients as they discover and express themselves more authentically."
