Are you searching for support, either for yourself or loved one? Hi I'm Peter Savo and I am dedicated in providing compassionate mental health services for neurodivergent individuals. I specialize in working with people diagnosed with ADHD and high functioning autism, supporting them as they navigate through transitional periods of their lives. My approach involves building a therapeutic alliance with my clients that nurtures their strengths and finds solutions to their unique challenges.

Making the decision to disclose difficulties and seek out psychological services can be challenging. I work collaboratively with adult and adolescent therapy clients to develop a clear understanding of problems, building agreement on the core tasks of therapy to lead to meaningful changes. I utilize my training in Emotion-Focused, Cognitive-Behavioural, Psychodynamic, and Integrative therapies to address a diverse range of presenting concerns, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, trauma (eg. sexual assault, childhood abuse), and personality difficulties. The foundation of our relationship will be our focus on establishing and maintaining a strong working-alliance rooted in empathy and trust.

I am a EMDR & Trauma specialist and if you notice irritability, anger and nightmares are taking control of your mood, relationships and passions, I can help.

I will help you navigate the complex past and lived memories with the goal of remembering these past scenes but in a way that they will no longer impact you.

I believe mental health must recognize individualism. This is influenced by my own experiences as a first-generation Indo-Canadian. My key values include empowering clients while creating a safe, collaborative approach. You are the storyteller of your life, and my role is to support you while you write, edit, and enhance the pages. My clients have shared that I provide a genuine, non-judgmental presence and atmosphere while they explore their thoughts and emotions, gain insight into their behaviours, and develop effective steps to enhance their well-being. You can expect a therapeutic setting that is professional, yet relaxed.

As a registered social worker and a psychotherapist, I am committed to creating a safe space by taking a non-judgmental stance and remaining flexible to your needs. Therapy is a place where we can collaboratively embark on a journey to work towards your goals while maintaining your role as the expert of your own life. The focus of therapy is to better understand and address the thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and behaviours that are contributing to your distress. Once we build this awareness we can work on the areas that are no longer serving you through processing and practicing various skills.

You might be struggling with your relationships, current events or life experiences. You might be feeling a ‘stuckness’ in ways of thinking and behaving or your sense of yourself. Therapy offers a process to find new awareness and understanding, new ways to cope, clarify and resolve difficulties, and change and grow in meaningful ways. Various difficulties bring people to therapy. Some are dilemmas in personal, family and professional relationships. Some are anxiety, depression, and troubling internal conflicts. People can feel low self-esteem, a sense of inauthenticity and purposelessness.

When we avoid what we need to face, we suffer the symptoms that bring us to therapy. We are wired to bear the pain of real life, but our psychological suffering can be unboreable. Sigmund Freud called psychotherapy “a cure through love” and I truly believe in this. The wounds that accrued in a relationship must be healed in a relationship. A relationship where the therapist doesn’t talk “at us” but “with us.” I believe all individuals can develop into mature, fully realized adults. However, inner or outer obstacles can make this path difficult. My role has always been to support my clients to remove these obstacles.

Stuck - broken - powerless - disconnected. Many men come to me seeking change. Perhaps you are feeling lost, broken, stuck, hopeless, disconnected or lacking purpose. I have always been drawn to people, and over time grown deep appreciation for the value of sharing and listening intentionally. You may feel you are alone in the world, and that nobody understands you. You may question whether you are a good partner, father, or son. Even worse, you may struggle with addiction, grief, anxiety, depression, or another mental health challenge. Ready to get started?

No matter where your go-getter attitude, professional career path and success have taken you, from the inside out you feel preoccupied, barely keeping yourself taped and glued together, worried at what point you will just fall apart.

People don't know how much is going on inside of you; you are desperate for change but feel so overwhelmed by emotion that you just can't figure out how. If you are ready for change and transformation to get where you really want to go, I can help!

Holistic Well-being / Career Counselling / Hypnotherapy ... As a culturally competent Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I understand the cultural nuances that influence the Black/BIPOC community in the GTA.

Your 20s/30s aren't what you expected them to be and you feel more lost than ever lately. Between your career, relationships, life changes, and responsibilities, it feels like you're drowning and the panic to get your life together is REAL. Some days you manage to push it all to the side and focus on your day-to-day, but your anxieties flood to the surface the second you're alone with your thoughts. Your mood shifts, you get a pit in your stomach, and you start to doubt and question ev-ery-thing. You're exhausted, over feeling stuck and are ready to feel good about your life and where you're headed. I hear you and I can help!

Finding the right therapist is as important as getting the right help. In the process of seeking who you would prefer to work with, we offer a free 15 minute consultation over the phone.

Collaboration is essential in this process of finding a path to your healing. Take the next step and give us a call to see if we can work together. Our office hours are M-F 9am-8pm and Saturdays 10am-5pm.

Life in your 20s/30s has felt so defeating lately and you're TIRED. It feels like no matter how hard you try, you're spinning in circles and can't catch a break. Maybe a big change happened recently- a breakup, big move, job change, or family shift- that completely flipped your world upside down and brought everything to the surface? Maybe you've been feeling stuck, anxious and unfulfilled for awhile now and see that you're repeating the same patterns over and over again? You're ready for a change and want to dig deeper, gain a better understanding of yourself & create new patterns that will get you where you want to be.

To top it off, you have a constant tightness in your chest, you can't remember the last time you had a good night's sleep, and you know you haven't been on top of your self care routine for awhile now. You just want some relief, a solid sense of direction, and to feel GOOD again. I hear you and I can help.
