Therapists in Toronto, ON

I believe in honoring each individual's unique life journey. Our sessions will focus on exploring your strength in a non-judgmental and collaborative space. Instead of "fixing," I would like to work with you in "actualizing" your own truth as the starting point of your healing journey. I've been working at Toronto Western Hospital as a mental health clinician for 10+ years in both English and Mandarin. I also work with MVA, EHC, GP- and self-referred clients from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds and religious beliefs in my private practice.

Welcome. You may have found your way here because you are struggling with difficult thoughts and emotions, stress at work or at home, challenging relationships, or maybe you’re not even sure what is going on with you (that’s okay too)! Together, we will create a safe place to make sense of what is happening for you. My role is to support you as we explore your experiences, emotions, and, most importantly, relationships to increase your knowledge and awareness of yourself.

Accepting new clients - no matter what brings you to therapy, I'm passionate about creating a safe and nourishing environment for you that promotes your wellbeing and growth. Life problems and difficult emotions are part of our experiences, and I'm here to help you explore the best ways to navigate them and improve your emotion regulation. I primarily work with adults and young adults with a range of presenting concerns including immigration and adjustment issues, relationship issues, eating disorders, gender and sexuality exploration, and school difficulties. I provide psychotherapy in English and Persian (Farsi).

I am a registered Clinical and Health Psychologist at the Centre for Psychology and Emotional Health. I received my PhD at the University of Toronto and recently completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University Health Network (UHN) in cancer survivorship. I have a special interest in supporting men and women facing challenges coping with a life-threatening illness. I am compassionate, caring and available. I am dedicated to building upon my clients' strengths, while empowering them to make meaningful change. I approach psychotherapy as a collaborative partnership in which we work together to achieve your life goals.

All of us can be presented with hardship, pain and overwhelm - sometimes without warning. It is in these stressful moments that we may struggle to find the tools to cope. Confronted by life’s challenges, it can become difficult to see the path forward.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious or down? Do negative beliefs, experiences or pain feel like daily events? Does hurt from the past seem to replay itself? Are you navigating rough waters with school, work or relationships? ThriveWell Counselling is here to help. We provide counselling, psychotherapy, case management, and hoarding/declutter and family coaching, to help you reach your goals. ThriveWell Counsellors help you confidently live a more peaceful life, both inside & out!

I work with adults and couples to help them move towards a state of continued growth, compassion, and self-awareness in a way that is collaborative, strengths-based, and empowering. I believe in creating a client-therapist relationship that fosters authenticity, support, and space for both acceptance, and for change. This can begin in our very first session. Together, we can begin to tease apart the adaptive approaches to dealing with and moving through life you've grown accustomed to, and begin to decipher which of these patterns are serving you, and which you may be interested in moving beyond.

Toronto Psychotherapy Space currently offers both online and in person psychotherapy appointments as well as discounted rates for college & university students. Are you a parent who’s noticed changes in your daughter’s behaviours?Are you a post-secondary student who feels more anxious or withdrawn lately?My specialization is working with tweens, teens, & young adults who identify as female. I'm dedicated to helping girls & young women overcome a variety of challenges that often arise during these stages of life such as anxiety, depression, disordered eating, self-esteem, body image concerns, relationship support, & life transitions.

I have been practicing for over 20 years. I specialize in bereavement and loss . Individuals, of all ages and backgrounds, may experience this for many an issue- loss of a loved one, loss of a relationship, to loss of a cherished pet. Each persons experience of loss is unique. There is no right way or wrong way to grieve. There is no time limit. My goal is to help clients manage what they are experiencing. Most importantly, I am here to listen.

I believe that our personal challenges can be effectively addressed by using our internal resources, embracing our own creativity and mobilizing our psychic energy. My aim for therapy is to help my clients arrive at a personal, yet structured and novel, understanding of themselves, others and the world around them. I have studied Philosophy and Psychology and I extensively use philosophical and existential ideas and insights in my counselling. I am a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario. I have certificates in Hypnotherapy and EMDR which can be used upon request. I am also trained in Jungian-informed psychodynamic psychotherpay.

My name is Dr. Katie Stewart and I am a registered clinical psychologist in supervised practice. My clinical training is in treatment of anxiety disorders, PTSD and trauma-related disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and depression. I also work with people who are experiencing general life stress and anxiety and who need support. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and walks of life and aim to create a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you feel understood and validated. I especially love helping people to face their fears and find an inner strength they didn't know they had.

My aim is to help people recognize their inner strength. I am quite passionate about working with folks who feel trapped in a pattern of unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that can often dictate their view of themselves and the world. My practice is cognitive behavioural focused; however, I also have experience incorporating evidence based approaches such as mindfulness, dialectical behaviour therapy, motivational interviewing and solution focused brief therapy techniques. Treatment will be tailored specifically to each person’s needs and goals. Grenadier's practice is LGBTQ positive, trauma-informed, and weight inclusive.

I recognize that asking for help is never easy and I aim to create a welcoming and judgment free space so that we can work together towards your goals. Each session is tailored to what you want to focus on - there is no such thing as a problem too small. Counselling is a way to explore what we are experiencing in a new mindset - with my ultimate goal being to leave you feeling empowered. I have experience counselling over 1000 individuals which has allowed me to explore a vast range of topics.

I hope to provide each client with the support and guidance they are looking for through an individualized and collaborative approach. In a safe and non-judgmental space, I work from a strengths-based and trauma-informed framework. Although I value an integrative approach to therapy, I am drawn to a psychodynamic orientation, to explore the root of the issue at hand. Over the last six years, I've worked with a diverse demographic providing behavioural and psychological services to children, teens, and adults.

I support adults who have been affected by trauma and are motivated to address it. I can help you reach a deeper level of healing after trauma and address related issues like anxiety, depression, sleep issues, relationship challenges, or grief. I have supported domestic violence and childhood sexual abuse victims to navigate anxiety and depression, ultimately enabling them to live happier, more fulfilled lives. I also have experience helping adolescents process trauma and work towards a more meaningful present.

Are there certain areas of your life where you feel stuck? Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and stress? Do you struggle with your body image and self-esteem? Are you struggling with issues related to a past trauma? If you need support with any of these areas, I'm here to help! I can support you in developing strategies to treat the symptoms of these issues in the short term, and work with you to identify and address the root causes in the long term. Together, we will work to improve the overall quality of your day-to-day life.
