Therapists in Toronto, ON

I believe that mental health services should be different for women on their motherhood path. Whether you are struggling with fertility / IVF, a new mother adjusting to life with a baby, or a mother who is trying to do the best to parent your child but struggling with your own history or lacking a support system....we can help. I developed FLUFF because I felt that women needed something that was softer, easier, more accessible and had different options for our care. Something for every one of us, no matter where we are on our journey, so no woman is left behind.

As a psychotherapist, Board-Certified hypnotherapist, EMDR therapist, & lawyer, I provide integrative clinical services to find solutions to the daily challenges that impact individuals across the life span. I utilize EMDR, CBT, DBT, and hypnotherapy to address issues of anxiety/stress, depression, trauma, grief, life stages, fears, phobias, low self-esteem, procrastination, anger, family conflict, etc. I have studied trauma at the Ph.D level. As a lawyer, I practiced family law, etc.. My clinical framework is solution-focused, strengths-based, motivational, trauma-informed, culturally competent, client-centered, and results-driven.

Sometimes, we may find ourselves facing life experiences which bring us suffering and we have not enough answers. We might feel strange, anxious, sad, worried with symptoms of emotional pain. On these moments, a therapist assistance would provide a safe, healthy environment to work on those issues. The therapy environment aims at allowing you the possibility to access to the root of difficulties rather than looking at exterior manifestations During our sessions, I will not judge either your past or present choices. My private practice includes services in Spanish (my mother tongue) providing brief and long-term treatment.

Sometimes words are not enough to express our emotions when experiencing trauma or distress, but art-making and creative thinking have the power to inform us about our feelings and how we relate to them. Expressive Arts Therapy can change the meaning, the structure and the ways of relating with suffering. Learn to recognize your emotions, explore change, and transform suffering through creativity, artistic expression, and imagination. Think of it as an arts-based exploration where you will be able to collect knowledge and legitimize your wisdom.

Welcome! I am here to support you on your journey toward personal growth, healing, and meaningful connections. As a compassionate therapist, I specialize in working with individuals who seek guidance in various areas of their lives, including relationships (including polyamory and ENM), career transitions, family issues, setting boundaries, anxiety, imposter syndrome, and perfectionism. My approach focuses on helping you heal from the past, empowering you to discover joy, peace, clarity, and connection in the present. Please note that I do NOT provide couples therapy.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or anxious in areas of your life where you would rather be feeling empowered? Are you curious about whether or not there is something you can do to shift that? Are you open to exploring your behaviours and patterns with non-judgment and compassion? Do you experience physical symptoms that you think may be connected to emotional stressors in your life. Are you curious about exploring mind-body connections?

CONFUSED, drained or ALONE in your relationships? Are you putting the needs of others before your own? Are you changing yourself (like a CHAMELEON) in order to feel appreciated? If the other person becomes your main focus and you modify your behaviors and subjugate your needs to keep the relationship going at any cost, you have codependency. CODEPENDENTS are MAGNETS for entitled, narcissistic personalities. The ensuing relationships can stumble along for a LONG time, requiring huge amounts of effort and energy to keep up until finally they fall apart. When they do, you feel betrayed and abandoned (codependent's biggest fear).

My mission is to help people manage chronic pain by helping them to understand and address the psychological, behavioral and social aspects of their pain experience. I am a registered psychotherapist (qualifying) who specializes in the management of chronic pain. I am also a trained chiropractor with over 13 years of clinical, hands-on experience.

Over a lifetime, we all develop defences, thoughts, beliefs, behaviours, and fears that keep us from living the life we want. These are limitations. And while at one time they had purpose, they have lost their usefulness in the present day. My job is to help you identify these limitations and guide and support you to transform them. We recognize the parts that have value, but change up the parts that are holding you back. Becoming aware of unwanted fears, beliefs, and thoughts that control our lives is an important step in changing the way we do things and how we see our world.

I work with the whole person. My practice is called The Courage Room because our bodies are the courage room. You're here because you've made it to a turning point. Bon courage! We also sit together in 'the courage room'—with respect, tenderness, & openness. I work with many creatives (including pregnant women / new parents), the gifted, &/or highly sensitive people with trauma & attachment wounds. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, sexual assault & incest. As a writer/educator, I can step into an active coaching role (for those who request this).

A warm welcome. I support individuals to compassionately make sense of the patterns that cause strained relationships, shame, self-doubt, anxiety, anger, depression, conflict, and emotional and nervous system dysregulation. I also work with couples to improve communication and understand and attend to their underlying needs in their relationship. While connecting with others is essential for our well-being, at times, it can feel so very hard to do. My intention in our work is to strengthen your ability to feel more inherently worthy and loveable through attunement and developing more flexible, secure and joyful relating.

For teens and adults alike, creating change can feel overwhelming. Through supportive, non-judgmental dialogue you can begin to better cope with the feelings, thoughts and behavior patterns associated with your life's challenges and heal from trauma. All sessions with myself or associates are safe, non judgmental and focused on your individual needs. With two decades of work in mental health services, no one single approach is right for everyone. Support is offered to teens, adults and their families by both myself and/or my associates. We offer some sliding scale options to make therapy more accessible for all.
