Hey you! I’m Dorothy - thank you for being here. I’m a social worker & psychotherapist who specializes in supportive work with children, youth and families. I guide humans to be gentle and curious with themselves, their stories, and their environments, so that they can practice new ways of being that are in alignment with their hopes and dreams. Sometimes, systemic oppression (i.e. racism, cisheteropatriarchy, colonialism, capitalism) can affect how we reach our goals. My practice is dedicated to exploring the ways in which supportive relationships can not only support our healing, but create more social justice around us.

I am a gentle and bold therapist. I will listen carefully to your experiences. I will explore with you connections between your present thoughts, feelings, actions and past events. The aim is to help you understand more about yourself.
The blue print for our actions, behaviors, feelings and self-concept was put in place at a very young age. We may look for patterns that worked well in their early context, but do not work anymore. A change may be needed. The insight you gain in a committed, active therapeutic relationship can be a powerful tool.

My approach as a psychotherapist takes the perspective that talking to others who share similar experiences can aid in understanding and balancing the unique expectations of family and cultural values, with the society in which we live. I am especially passionate about helping women feel empowered, and within the South Asian community specifically, helping females to understand their worth, as that is something many of us grow up doubting. Research indicates affinity & culturally diverse therapy is needed for South Asian communities to support the silent mental health crisis.

The complexity of the human soul is beyond most of our comprehension. Our search for that feeling of ‘enough’ starts from within. You cannot see or appreciate what surrounds you until you are able to embrace the vulnerability of loving your authentic self. The polarity between love and pain is a reflection of the magnitude of the heart’s power. Exploring the innermost core of our existence is as scary as it is liberating. Fear prevents most of us from even attempting this journey.

It can be pretty daunting to imagine telling a stranger about deeply personal issues. And will it really help? In my own life and in the lives of my clients I have so often seen counselling ease the difficulties life throws at us, make the way forward a little clearer, lay old hurts to rest. If you and I together can build a trusting, respectful "working alliance", I'd say - and much research agrees - that it's likely to make a difference in your life. The (still ongoing?) pandemic has brought up old fears and worries, relationship struggles, loneliness. A place with no judgement to talk it all through can make a real difference.

I take female-identifying folks on a journey to meet and commune more deeply with their body, with the parts of themselves they have abandoned or are too afraid to venture near. My practice is an intuitive concoction, rooted in authentic movement and active imagination. I draw from my experience as a retired dancer and my education in existential-integrative psychotherapy and social work, including exposure to spiritual texts and experiential approaches, in order to assist my clients on the path to embodiment.

Another segment of my client base are individuals seeking help for anxiety, depression and/or low-self-esteem. In addition, I use my background in fitness and wellness to guide my clients looking to lose weight or improve their overall health.

Is there a cultural disconnect creating challenges with embracing your identity? Using a warm and empathic approach, I support individuals experiencing difficulties with emotion dysregulation, coping with trauma and grief, as well as navigating life transitions. As your therapist, my goal is to empower you in reaching your full potential by understanding your emotional burdens, targeting obstacles that may impede growth, and teaching you practical coping strategies.

In my years of practice, my focus has been centred around individuals from different walks of life (i.e race, religion, sexual orientation). Particularly, ones who have trauma, body image issues, low self esteem, phobias and/or are anxious, depressed, stressed, destructive, angry, lonely, abused and in or have been in the child welfare system. In regards to my approach, I am genuine and compassionate, but remain equally honest and direct. Rather than bombarding clients with endless questions, I aim to engage them through meaningful methods and effective interventions.

Hello, and welcome. I want to acknowledge that it takes a lot of courage to begin therapy, taking time to process and discover patterns in ourselves that may be blocking us from acting in a way that feels authentic. My practice revolves around the notion that the only way to change is by becoming more of yourself. As we navigate what this means for you, we build awareness together as I stand as witness, partner, and co-creator in your journey towards greater self-expression. I offer a compassionate, safe space for you to explore, feel and express yourself. You are not alone.

Are you are in crisis, struggling with an on-going issue or seeking to be free of restrictive emotional patterns/responses? If so, I can help you move from a place of limitation, to one of possibility and choice. Psychotherapy can provide wonderful benefit with long-term results. Learning to take care of ourselves is something we often take for granted and is not always easily achieved given our histories or daily stressors. I will support you in stabilizing yourself and situation, so that you can face your challenges and evolve in directions that feel authentic, liberating and ultimately sustainable.

Susan works with individuals from all walks of life who may embrace a range of mental health needs. She recognizes that each individual may need to seek therapy for a number of reasons, such as receiving support during tremendous transitions in life; to face and endure new challenges; or even to deal with the difficulties that one may encounter. Susan believes that every individual has the innate capacity to cope with the challenges that life offers, but it can be difficult to access these abilities from the experiences that each of us have had before.

I specialize in supporting children and adolescents struggling to cope with mental health challenges that impact their functioning at home, school, or both. Some of these range from learning difficulties, school avoidance, emotional or behavioral dysregulation, mood and anxiety to relationship difficulties, or trauma and attachment difficulties. My aim is to help them find their way back to healthy development and live healthy and fulfilling lives. My approach to therapy is developmentally grounded and informed by an attachment-based framework. I also integrate various other approaches to adapt to each client’s needs.

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.
