Therapists in N1G
Have you been told you worry too much, overthink things, or are too hard on yourself? Do you feel overwhelmed by your feelings of self-doubt, guilt and anxiety and are struggling to feel in control? Are you stuck in a mind overrun by anxious thoughts, rigid expectations, and an increasingly critical inner voice? Maybe you’re an overachiever, holding yourself to impossible standards, with a chronically busy schedule. Perhaps you find yourself feeling responsible to meet the needs and expectations of others, even at the cost of your own. Maybe you wish you could be more present and better at going with the flow.

I work with individuals and relationship constellations of all kinds — especially those who are neurodivergent and navigating anxiety, grief, or relationship struggles. My ideal client is looking for a warm, understanding space to explore their unique inner world. Together, we build self-awareness, notice patterns, and develop strategies for connection and growth. As a neurodivergent therapist myself, it's a true joy to support others in discovering new ways of understanding themselves.

You might have a growing sense that something isn’t working, even if you can’t fully explain it. You may spend a lot of time thinking things through, trying to understand yourself, your emotions, or your relationships, yet still feel stuck, unsure, or unable to move forward. Perhaps you overthink, struggle to fully express your needs, or carry loneliness, shame, or self-doubt beneath the surface. Part of you wants things to be different, while another part isn’t sure how to get there. In our work, we slow things down, look beneath the surface, and consider ways forward that feel more grounded, more achievable, and more like you.

Relationships can be especially challenging when trauma, identity, or non-traditional relationship structures are part of the picture. I work primarily with couples and multiple-partner relationships who feel stuck in painful patterns of repeating the same arguments, feeling disconnected, navigating infidelity, communication breakdowns, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, or the difficult transitions of separation and divorce. I am passionate about supporting clients who are queer, trans, or who otherwise do not find themselves represented in mainstream therapy. All of my work is informed by feminist and harm reduction principles.

You second-guess yourself, struggle to feel “good enough,” and often feel anxious in relationships or social situations. Maybe you’re stuck in overthinking, people-pleasing, guilt, or self-doubt. You’re always fighting that inner voice that points out everything you’re doing wrong, making you feel like you always have something to prove.

I’m Josh, a Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist, and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) candidate. I primarily work with men who are struggling with anxiety, shame, trauma, pornography addiction, compulsive sexual behaviours, and relationship challenges. Many of the men I meet appear successful on the outside but privately feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or trapped in patterns they can’t seem to break. I also work with couples who want to better understand one another, strengthen their connection, and navigate difficult seasons together.

Perhaps that you wish you could trust yourself more, use your voice, and feel more connected to yourself or others? Or that you did not have to use so much energy overthinking about the past, future, or reactions of other people? Maybe you wish that you could be more present instead of feeling disconnected? Whether you have struggled since childhood because of trauma or a difficult environment, or whether you have recently begun to encounter anxiety or overthinking in areas like relationships, work, or school, you deserve to connect with support.

Are you intelligent, "type-A", with a million things always on the go? On the outside you appear to have "made it", but on the inside your anxiety is crippling. You wonder if you have ADHD, you're working on 100 things at once, never seeming to be able to slow down until you crash (and then beat yourself up for resting). You start to wonder if you're depressed. Why does it feel like you're on such a roller coaster of emotions? You've tried journaling, meditating, maybe even medication or therapy, but you still feel stuck. You know you need to "love yourself", but you don't know how to actually DO that

Has your life shifted so quickly that you feel destabilized? Or maybe it's the opposite: you want life to shift, but do not know how to change patterns or relationships that do not work anymore. I hear you! Life can be quite messy and stressful, and sometimes we need a little help. As a therapist, my great passion is to create space for people who are overwhelmed by life and help them find safety, get unstuck and live authentically. I am a queer, cisgender therapist who has experienced episodes of mental unwellness. My personal experiences will help me connect with you from a place of empathy and profound respect for your strengths.

Trauma can profoundly impact your sense of self and belonging, leaving you with patterns you understand but can't seem to change. This is especially true when the trauma happened in relationship: abuse or neglect by a parent, spiritual abuse (often in community), or during a difficult transition to becoming a parent, to name a few. I offer trauma therapy that can help you address the deep emotional learnings that come from relational trauma and affect you in the present day. I work with curiosity, gentleness, and humour to uncover the capacity for healing that is already in you. I offer online therapy to adults across Ontario.

Hey! I'm so glad you're here. If you are looking for a relaxed, safe environment, and the ability to really connect with another human being, I would love to talk with you! In my approach to therapy, I put you in the expert chair, as someone who knows their life and experience more than I can know.

If you're looking to identify and heal coping patterns—around relationships, boundaries, attachment, work stress, existential questions, or identity—you’re in the right place. I work from a systemic, trauma-informed, climate-aware, polyamory- and queer-friendly lens. I'm mindful of how culture and society shape our mental health, and how therapy is just one part of a broader healing process. Having walked through grief, trauma, and burnout of my own, I come with a lived understanding of some of life's hardest lessons, and I hope that whatever you come to therapy with, I can support meaningful shifts in your life.

Are you struggling with anxiety, disordered eating, or body image concerns? You may feel overwhelmed, stuck in cycles of self-criticism, comparison, or rigid patterns around food and control.

Together, we focus on reducing anxiety, building self-trust, and helping you move toward a more balanced, values-driven life.

Do you ever feel stuck in patterns that you know aren’t working, but no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to shift them?
Maybe you’re spending your days just trying to survive. Maybe your relationship feels like it’s gone from the promise of connection to a place of distance, loneliness, or escalating conflict. You might feel like you're living with a stranger, or worse, like you’ve become a stranger to yourself.
These experiences are disorienting, painful, and confusing, but you don’t have to navigate them alone.

I enjoy supporting teens, young adults, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, body image concerns, perfectionism, emotional regulation, neurodivergence, relationship challenges, and disordered eating patterns. Together, we'll build on your strengths to help you develop a healthier relationship with yourself and move toward meaningful change.
