If your child is struggling with reading, math, spelling, putting ideas on paper, or is generally struggling to reach his or her potential in school, a psycho-educational assessment can help to identify processing strengths, weaknesses and deficits which may need to be addressed, remediated, and accommodated for. As a registered Psychological Associate member of the College of Psychologists of Ontario since 1998, I can help you to understand the factors affecting your child's learning and school performance, and to develop a manageable and realistic plan to support your child's learning at school and at home.

Hey! My name is Tony and I’m a Psychotherapist. I work with people who experience various mental health and substance use concerns, and the families and loved ones who support them. In addition, I work with young adults, those going through separation/divorce, and those transitioning into different life stages. I’m also really interested in men’s mental health across the lifespan, and specifically how these issues show themselves in actions and behaviours.

Negative thinking, procrastination, self-sabotage, trauma, not feeling good enough, masking of emotions, consistently feeling like you’re hanging on by a thread. If any of these, or even a few of these resonated with you, you are in the right place. I take a trauma-informed, and validating approach to psychotherapy in order to hold a compassion space for you to vent and process your thoughts and emotions. Whether you feel like it’s events from the past that are keeping you stuck, or a fear of failure in the future, I want to work with you to help connect the dots and get you living a more meaningful, connected, and authentic life.

Feeling alone in the difficulties that we are facing in life, can lead us to believe that our challenges are insurmountable. This can result in us feeling stuck, unmotivated and hopeless about ourseves and our future. Ultimately, we all desire a sense of connection and purpose, but when our thoughts and feelings get in the way of that, our system can get overloaded. We may then begin to experience challenges in our day to day functioning and our relationships, without really understanding why, or what to do about it. My role as your therapist is to support you through increasing awarenss and to develop a plan for moving forward.

Are you tired of struggling and just want to feel better? Do you sometimes feel as if you have tried everything and yet nothing has helped? Do you find that, in spite of your best efforts, insights and logical understanding of stressors, you keep getting hijacked by stress, anxiety, worry or frustration? Have you sought help before and while you found new insights, your day to day life didn't improve as much as you had hoped? Are you neurodivergent and are looking for a therapist who is too? I'd like to help.

I believe seeking supports through counselling is an act of bravery and courage and as such I consider it an honour for anyone to confide in me their struggles, hopes and aspirations. My intention is to simply be human with individuals and help guide them along their journey. Therapy is not a fix it all solution, it takes time, practice and most importantly a genuine human connection.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In Canada, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or province where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
How much does therapy cost?
Some forms of mental health treatment (for example, seeing a psychiatrist, or seeing a psychologist in a government-funded hospital) are free under provincial health plans. Canadians who seek private counseling can typically expect to pay an average of $150 per session, although the actual price generally ranges between $100 and $3200 per session, depending on their location and the type of provider they select. Workplace benefits or private insurance plans often provide an annual counselling allowance, and some therapists offer sliding scale fees to clients who cannot pay full price.
