I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the CRPO (008887). Explore your relationships and sexuality in a space free of judgement. I take a non-pathologizing, non-judgmental, holistic approach to sex counselling and sex therapy. I provide sex therapy and sex counselling for individuals or within relationship counselling or couples therapy that incorporates an understanding of how our sexuality is shaped by the relationship between the mind, body, spirit, and larger society. I believe there are limitless ways to live a pleasurable life when practiced in a compassionate, caring, consensual environment with or without sex.

Hello! I am a compassionate, supportive and collaborative therapist that offers both short term or long term therapy depending on what you need! I am here to provide you with a safe and nonjudgmental space to work through old pains and new life challenges with yourself or family members.

I am a narrative therapy counsellor located in Toronto. Both my professional and personal journeys have informed my practice and community work. I combine extensive experience in the field of social work with a career as postsecondary educator. I identify as a Trans Masculine Latinx and use he/they pronouns. As a member of the Trans Latinx community, I welcome clients of all identities, looking for a counsellor to support them on their journey. I offer years of experience in the mental health sector, providing individual, couples and family counselling services to youth, adults and seniors in English and Spanish.

You're finished with putting others first. No more compromising your own needs and desires. You want to loosen up the rigid habits formed from traumatic experiences and you're ready to meet the edge of your comfort now.

Practicing from an ecological stance, I recognize that individuals exist within larger systems which can significantly impact their well-being. It's important for me to understand all aspects of a client's life beyond their presenting symptoms to form a well-rounded picture of the contributing factors in their mental health experiences. I primarily work with adolescent and adult clients for individual, couple and family therapy. I am specifically interested in working with romantic relationship conflict, trauma (acute and complex), transgender health, life transition stress, anxiety, and emotional disturbances.

Salut, I'm Céleste (she/they). I specialize in Queer and polyamorous counselling for individuals, couples, and dyadic ENM relationships. I also provide francophone services. As a Queer French Canadian, I bring an understanding of intersectional identities and experiences to my counseling practice.

Does any of this sound familiar? You survived emotional neglect. You work hard and are independent. Sometimes, your drive has harmed relationships and partnerships. Perhaps your family members struggle with alcohol or addictions. You often feel isolated and "not enough", and could use help from a person who understands these challenges. If you are Neurodivergent, in Recovery; or considering gender transition, I have specific education + experience to support you (Rainbow Health Ontario provider). I am Autistic (AuDHD), adopted, ACE, trans and in a loving marriage. I work, volunteer and learn in Harm Reduction communities.

My goal is to give your family a safe space to work on developing skills and building relationships. I work with children and youth to develop the skills they need to cope with difficult emotions and situations, as well as empower parents to feel capable and improve relationships within the family. I provide a holistic approach to support the whole family and strongly believe that helping parents to understanding and supporting their child's identity is one of the most powerful ways of reducing risk around mental health issues.

My philosophy is, you are not broken, you are not something to be fixed! There is something you are wanting to change. That is the focus of what we can work on together. All individuals seeking assistance to navigate their life's journey are welcomed. I listen to what your needs are, help provide you with tools to find a path to break down barriers that are keeping you from living your best life. I believe a counsellor and a client must be able to establish a trusting relationship to make the most of the time spent together. I offer structured/non structured therapies depending on the needs of the clients.

Accepting New Clients! I am an expert in the field of treating concerns surrounding sleep/insomnia. I have successful career experience working therapeutically with palliative patients and their caregivers to tackle grief, bereavement and caregiver burnout. I am also well renowned for working with relationship issues (using attachment theory), mood disorders (depression, anxiety), and dissociative disorders. Finally, I treat and work with self-esteem/worth, existential questions, burnout, life transitions, and other concerns. Yes that's a lot, but I just thinking helping people to heal is very neat, and so I have learned so much :).

With 8+ years of experience helping clients overcome a wide range of anxiety disorders, I'm prepared to teach you effective ways of improving the thoughts and behaviors that are stopping you from living the life you'd like to live. Struggling with intrusive thoughts, or rituals you can't resist doing? Skin picking and/or hair pulling? Experiencing distressing emotions, or trying to heal from trauma or loss? Perhaps you're questioning your sexuality or navigating your gender identity? With years of clinical practice in all of the above, you can conquer your symptoms beside someone who knows what the best tools to use are.

If you need help with connection, communication, emotional regulation and overcoming narcissistic influences let's talk. With over 25 years experience as clinical counsellor I focus on what works to help you understand yourself and train the skills to improve your life. I'm warm, present, active and empathetic. In a short time with me individuals and couples experience breakthroughs. I provide direct guidance toward greater clarity, healthy boundaries, focus and wisdom by addressing life skills you haven't mastered. Internet rabbit holes won't facilitate change, but I will. You really don't have to do this alone anymore.

Did you grow up in a family that couldn't support you emotionally? Perhaps you had family with mental health challenges, substance use problems, or others? Are you Neurodivergent (Autistic, ADHD) or suffer from CPTSD? You have worked very hard but are still struggling and need support and your relationships are suffering. We are here for you! We are a ND and SOGIE-affirming space, and in addition to psychotherapy, we offer multiple services that help Neurodivergent folks thrive: ADHD and Autism Coaching, Mindfulness Counselling, EMDR, Autism Assessments, Executive Function Support (by peers), and more.

As a queer/gender diverse immigrant of colour, you are tired of just coping and getting by in your relationships. You want to be true to yourself and grow healthier connections but find some conversations too difficult. You are dissatisfied with where you are and feel stuck. You are unsure if your experience will be heard and understood if you ask for help.

I work with you to create a safe space for us to explore some of the areas in your life you are struggling with. I believe in naming the strengths in ourselves that resist, or push back against, hardship as points of transformation into a more fulfilling and joyful life.
