"Sometimes we have a profound sense that the way we have been moving through our lives doesn't fit anymore. This realization can be coupled with anxiety, depression, aggression, sleeplessness, repetitive actions or thoughts, and feelings of isolation or fragmentation. It is hard to find yourself in this place, and even harder to know where to turn. Realizing something isn't quite right is the first step----talking to someone is the next. I offer a 'no fee' 1 hour Introductory Session so that you can see if I am the right therapist for you. I work with Individuals and Couples age 18 and up."

"Frustration. Confusion. Anxiety. Misdirected anger. Control issues. Apathy. These are just some of the difficult experiences inherent to our existence. If you've been struggling for some time and what you're doing isn't providing adequate relief, I can help. In a safe and receptive environment I will support you to experience and explore aspects of yourself to gain awareness and insights. As your relationship to self, others and the environment develops, new possibilities will emerge and empower you to make effective personal changes. This offers more authenticity, excitement and courage to living."

"I will be with you in your grief, shame, anger, vulnerability, excitement and joy. This might mean supporting you to slow down and experience your feelings, or feel your losses. It might mean assisting you to move an unconscious pattern into awareness. It might just mean helping you to steady the boat as you navigate rocky waters in your life. Compassion, curiosity, creativity and courage are my tools. I value therapy because I believe that it can bring more freedom, spontaneity and connection to our lives."

"Looking for the best couples therapy in Toronto that tailors tips, tools and insights to your relationship? Wondering how pre marital or marriage counselling can help you improve communication, reconnect and make love last? I am Lisa M Kelly, a Registered Psychotherapist providing couples counselling in downtown Toronto. My clients are LGBT and straight, from Rosedale, Cabbagetown, the Distillery, Riverdale, Leslieville, St. Lawrence Market, Yorkville and the GTA."

"Do you wish things were different? I work with diverse clients facing life's transitions and challenges. My theoretical framework is relational, using both talk therapy and/or creative/expressive arts modalities. Following your lead, I listen/witness and attune carefully in order to attend to your specific need. We start with where you are most comfortable, which means that talking, imagery, dreamwork and silence are all welcome. Although I work flexibly between short term talk therapy (psychodynamic psychotherapy) and expressive/creative arts, my focus is on staying close to what you bring to our work in the co-created and safe therapeutic studio space."

"Many of my clients come to therapy because they feel discouraged that the people around them appear to not understand the personal challenges they're facing in their lives. In attempting to talk about simple daily struggles, friends, family and co-workers often give advice or put a positive spin on what's hard. This can leave us feeling inadequate that we seem to be baffled by things that others appear to have figured out. As humans we need understanding and acceptance in order that we can continue to grow: and this is support you can find in good therapy."

"I provide a comfortable and safe place to work with your emotions and develop insight into life patterns that are no longer serving you. Whether you are coming to therapy to unpack past painful experiences or work towards future goals of living a more fulfilling and meaningful life, I welcome a chance to guide you through the process. Through our work together I can help you realize your full potential, strengthen important relationships and live a more integrated and confident life. Through this process my clients develop a more in depth understanding of themselves which enables more authentic living."

"I describe my work as supporting people through life transitions. By that I mean facilitating change from a current state of being to a new way of seeing, thinking, feeling, believing and functioning in life. The people I serve often deal with relationship issues, workplace stress and burn-out, health challenges, family issues, life losses and the impact of exclusion and oppression. I work collaboratively with people, assessing and working with current strengths and capacities, identifying barriers to success, helping to identify hidden potential and developing new capacities. I am committed to an anti-oppression practice."

"I work with people who feel stuck, trapped, desperate, fearful, irritated, angry, have trouble making decisions, cope with challenges of their lives, want to resolve their relationships problems."

"Do you spend most of your time & energy taking care of others, draining yourself in the process? Do you stress about doing everything just right, or ensuring that other people think you have it all together? You're not alone. We've been conditioned to put ourselves last. We're taught we have to be amazing at everything we do to matter. You shouldn't have to live this way. Living this way can threaten our wellbeing and our identity; even invite depression and anxiety. If you are ready to stop trying to be superwoman & start embracing your authentic imperfect self I can help."

"My approach is to acknowledge that we all suffer at certain times. However, it is how we make sense of, cope with and transition through our life challenges that defines who we can become as a person. The "Three Doors" represent the body, speech and mind. I can assist you to use your body (movements and actions), speech (tone and language) and mind (thoughts and patterns) to release physical, emotional and mental blockages. The journey will empower you to appreciate, rebuild, and transform into a more authentic version of yourself. Check out my reviews: https://411.ca/business/profile/10245704"

"You want to start enjoying life again. Maybe you're in a life crisis and need support. Maybe you're overwhelmed with anxiety, stress, anger, depression. Maybe you have a relationship that is not working. Maybe you're feeling "not good enough": like a failure, someone who is not getting the love, the career, the friends or the life that you're searching for. You're tired of being indecisive and need confidence to move forward. You know that it's time to make a change."

""Be yourself, everyone else is already taken." (O. Wilde). Let's work together to dust off and polish up the real you. We will explore strength in your broken places to craft a life that is energizing, fulfilling and meaningful to you. We will engage in exploration with a variety of creative tools including art work, dream work, body work and movement to create and enhance experiences to fully support your unique process and needs. Be prepared to be surprised. You may uncover resources in places you didn't know existed."

"Whether you have depression, anxiety or relationship troubles, you have come to the right place. Leave your past behind, and don't let it control your future. I know from my own struggles that we can break the cycles in which we are stuck. Honest contact with another changed my world. That is why I hope you call me today."

"As a Clinical Social Worker, I have seen how therapy can enrich our lives, how it can help us heal from past emotional wounds, gain insight and make necessary changes to lead a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Therapy can help us deepen our levels of intimacy with ourselves, and our loved ones, resulting in healthier relationships, more secure emotional connections and an overall sense of well-being. Using evidence-based therapeutic approaches and strategies I will work with you to help you make the changes you desire in your life."

"As a Gestalt therapist, I am committed to the well being of all my clients and intent to provide support and guidance to their journey of self-growth. I primarily focus on the present moment - the here and now. My main purpose is to bring some clarity and awareness to the unconscious thought process of my clients, especially the ones that are disruptive and preventing them to live a fuller life."
