Psychodynamic Therapists in Georgina, ON
Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, without always having a clear label for what they’re experiencing. They may struggle with anxiety, people-pleasing, burnout, difficulty setting boundaries, identity confusion, or feeling “on edge” in relationships. Some notice challenges with focus, sensory overwhelm, or emotional regulation, while others carry shame or self-doubt linked to past relational, developmental, or religious experiences. I help individuals connect these experiences to underlying patterns, gain clarity, and develop practical tools—to support greater self-understanding and confidence.

It can be hard to know who you are. We base everything we do off of our personal values and the experiences we've had. Sometimes you can feel lost, not knowing where to go next, not knowing who you are. Maybe you're wanting to change careers because you're not enjoying the daily routine, maybe you find yourself with unsatisfied about who you are and who society wants you to be, or maybe you've followed your family's ways for so long that you are left wondering who you are as an individual. How do we know who our authentic selves are? What does it mean to live our authentic lives?

Healing often begins with learning to treat yourself with the same compassion you already offer everyone else. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, low self-esteem, body image concerns, perfectionism, work stress, and relationship challenges. My clients often arrive feeling disconnected from themselves, struggling to trust their own voice or feel confident in who they are. Whether you are dealing with social pressure, family dynamics, dating, or the quiet weight of self-criticism, this is a space where you can begin to reconnect with yourself.

This includes use of EFT, DBT, CBT, and Psychodynamic.
I work with clients who struggle with understanding their emotions and the discomfort that can arise as a result. Emotional dysregulation is one of the core areas I support clients with, as it helps raise awareness of their internal experiences, while learning skills long the way. I help clients move forward by helping them build resilience. Learning to rely on self and building confidence as emotional disruptions often raise feelings of shame and guilt.

Over the last 25 years, I have worked with individuals and families, of all ages, in a variety of different settings.

My name is Alessia Cerundolo, and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Q) at Measuring What Matters. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. You might not have all the words yet—or even know exactly where to start—and that’s okay. I value creating a space that feels grounded, supportive, and non-judgmental. Therapy with me is not about having the “right” things to say, but about being able to show up honestly, at your own pace. I see therapy as a shared process—one where you bring your experiences, and I help guide exploration, understanding, and change.

I work with first responders, veterans, students, parents, and people who are simply going through a hard season of life. You may be dealing with trauma, anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, work or school pressure, a major life transition, or just feeling unlike yourself. Many of my clients are capable, caring, and used to pushing through. From the outside, things may look fine, but inside you may feel overwhelmed, reactive, disconnected, or stuck in patterns you cannot seem to shift. Therapy can be a place to understand what is happening and begin making changes that actually feel meaningful.

Psychodynamic Counsellors
Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.
How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.
Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.
What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
