"I am passionate about helping people find their authentic selves, to live fuller, more fulfilling and flourishing lives. Fostered by and continually growing through my own introspective explorations, the integration of a mindfulness component has proven to me to be very beneficial. Carl Jung said that an effective therapy was difficult to facilitate unless the therapist, as well as the client, was willing and able to change. Without this mutual transformation, all remain calcified. "

"I can help you reclaim your mental health by supporting the physical body and seeking out underlying physiological causes of mental health. I help patients with depression, anxiety, stress, and other physical concerns that relate to mood such as hormone imbalances, digestive difficulties, and auto-immune conditions. Together we address the root causes so you can reclaim your mental health."

"Therapy takes courage. My approach is supportive, collaborative, and genuine. I balance my knowledge of theory and technique with a non-judgemental, compassionate and affirming environment to support goals and work towards where you want to be in life. I work with adults of various ages, ethnicities, races, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities. I have extensive experience working with and supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals. I am also proficient in both English and Arabic. Having lived in the Middle East a significant part of my life, I am familiar with the cultural issues."

"Accepting New Clients | Life teaches us about change is the only constant and how uncomfortable change can be for us. These changes that happen in our life leave us with certain feelings that may impact our day to day without us being aware. Through exploration of these thoughts, feelings and behavior we are able to set forth onto a new path of well-being. How do we connect with our sense of spirituality in midst of change and suffering? The human spirit is stronger than imagined when faced with change as it provides an opportunity for growth and rebirth onto a new path. "

"Welcome. Looking for creative ways to make meaningful change? Or a safe place to sit with the uncertainty of the moment? Therapy and counselling is a place that can help you voice your thoughts, explore and move through challenges, and grow in your desired direction. Our work together will look at your unique experience, and what is meaningful in your life. My approach is emotionally-focused, neurobiological, and trauma-informed."

"The Centre for Mindfulness Studies is a charitable social enterprise founded in 2011 in downtown Toronto. It is the leading professional development and service delivery organization for mindfulness-based interventions in Canada. We’re expanding our offerings online and in new locations. "

"There’s no denying that life’s challenges can sometimes throw us off course, and I am honoured to offer a non-judgemental regard and unconditional support to my clients throughout their respective journeys. I strongly believe in the power of therapy and as such, aim to build a safe, comfortable and healing space so as to help uncover practical solutions or explore core issues in greater depth. Working collaboratively, I believe that talk therapy can bring tremendous insights, empowerment and value to those who choose to embark upon a journey of growth and confront life’s challenges. "

"I work with individuals experiencing feelings of disconnection, anxiety, and self-criticism. Do you ever feel like you can't live up to your own standards or those of others? As though no matter how hard you try you remain stuck or unfulfilled? In a society that promotes speed, wealth, and unrealistic standards (of beauty, relationships, even self-care!) it can be increasingly difficult to find a space in which we feel heard and validated. When life prevents you from seeing the best version of yourself, I will see it for you, bringing your strengths to the forefront of our work together."

"I work adult clients ranging in age from their 20s to 100s. I provide one-on-one counselling to clients working toward achieving personal wellness across a wide spectrum of concerns including those coping with anxiety, significant life changes, stress management & relationship concerns. I also offer system navigation and resource counselling for seniors, their caregivers and family members. The goal of this part of my practice is to link people to the right resources for them and help them better understand the complex healthcare system."

"It is an honour to work with clients as they courageously take steps towards lives of empowerment, meaning and joy. I am passionate about collaborating with individuals, couples, and families at different places in their lives to foster wellbeing, and have witnessed how the right therapy tools can turn clients' experiences of challenge into sources of resilience and stepping stones to personal growth and fulfillment."

"(Currently I have very limited availability - accepting clients who can meet weekly day times, with no evening availability.) Entering therapy can be a daunting decision. What can I tell you that might make this step easier? Every person's therapy is unique. It will follow your life, both past and present. Primarily, therapy will be a safe space where every worry or concern you have will be acceptable for discussion and analysis. It may frequently be difficult, but there will also be joy and freedom. And I can assure you that 'the talking cure' can bring about deep and long-lasting change in your life."

"Any of us may become scared or frustrated by events in our lives. Sometimes parts of our lives just don't seem to be working out. We may become unhappy and come to an impasse. It is inevitable that we come face to face with a crisis of illness or loss. Some may have experienced a relationship breakdown or disturbing dreams and memories. Any one of these can make life seem overwhelming. Even when we find the courage to admit what's happening, those closest to us are not equipped to help us. At these times it is often helpful to talk with a therapist"

"Seeking help and finding the right therapist can be overwhelming especially if you are feeling out of balance, facing changes in relationships, managing symptoms of anxiety or depression, or if life has lost meaning for you. I work with clients to create strategies, develop tools, and uncover personal strengths that bring the healthy balance back into their lives. I bring a depth of experience from years of work in a tertiary mental health and addiction hospital in Toronto, Ontario. I am privileged to be a therapist. My clients describe me as "easy to connect, open, warm, genuine, real, and effective.""

"You've done individual therapy and received support, but feel isolated in your journey of every day mental health and wellbeing. You're needing a place where you can be yourself and connect with other like minded individuals in a safe place that is dedicated to support and education. A chance to build genuine connections and relationships that go beyond therapy. This is our goal here at KJ Group Counselling, to widen your supportive network outside of therapy. Our group is a perfect place to meet new people, build connections, and receive support for the stress of life. "

"I am a registered psychotherapist and a certified expressive arts therapist. I have been a practicing psychotherapist for over ten years and specialize in using the arts to promote self healing, relationships, growth and change. I have trained extensively in gestalt and developmental somatic psychotherapy and have pursued professional training in emotionally focused couples therapy (EFT), trauma informed therapy, narrative therapy and child and play therapy. I create a safe and interactive therapeutic atmosphere, and work from a resource oriented, awareness based perspective, focussing on both your short and long term needs. "

"Often we seek therapy because something in our life is not working for us. We are tired of feeling chronically overwhelmed, we may be unsure of how to manage our relationships, or want to stop negative patterns that no longer serve us. I appreciate that it takes courage to explore our inner world of thoughts and feelings. I am a skilled and compassionate therapist who has supported hundreds of clients on their healing journey as they learn new ways to cope with stress and better navigate their emotional reactions and relationships. Extra support is often the ingredient clients need to overcome significant hurdles in life."

"Feeling used and abused by those who love you which is causing you overwhelming distress? You've even thought about giving up on life completely hoping those feelings, memories, and daily experiences will simply go away. I want you to know you are not alone. I have dedicated my career to helping women overcome issues related to sexual assault, domestic violence, childhood abuse/neglect, anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidal ideation and everyday life stressors. As a Christian counsellor, I believe God's desire is for us to have a healthy mind, body and soul. There is rest from the burdens of life and hope for peace and joy."

"Therapy can be an intimidating experience because it requires us to open up to our internal world. I understand the courage it takes to begin and commit to therapy, and that is why my first goal is to provide you with a safe and validating environment to share your experiences. Together, we will work towards uncovering the origins of your distress in order to increase self-awareness and gain insight into the issues you are struggling with. This will lay the groundwork for helping you learn to incorporate healthy coping skills to manage emotions and to work towards personal growth. "

"Undisturb yourself! Using CBT, Existential, and Mindfulness forms of psychotherapy, I help clients (in-person/ telephone/ on-line) develop the tools in order that they think, act and feel better. Sometimes the realities of life understandably leave us susceptible to certain anxieties, despair and general existential concern. All too often we find ourselves developing unhelpful irrational thoughts and behaviours that can seem impossible to change. But they aren't. If you are interested in investigating and changing your assumptions and behaviours, if you want to modify the lens through which you view and experience the world, my therapeutic modality could be well suited to you."

"*Virtual Therapy Available* 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.
