Therapists in Toronto, ON

Each person is the expert of their own lives. As a therapist, my hope is to support you in exploring and realizing your own insights, hopes, and goals. I view therapy as a partnership and opportunity for transformative change. My approach is deeply relational, meaning you and I will be two people talking together in a warm and dignified way. I aim to foster connection, honour your resiliency, hold space for your emotions, and ensure you feel heard and acknowledged. I am always committed to trauma-informed care. In addition to supporting individuals, I am also passionate about working with couples and diverse relationships.

With more than 10 years of experience as a counselor and therapist, I provide TeleMental Health (Online therapy) to help people (individuals, couples, immigrants, refugees, etc.) providing therapy and counseling for a variety of issues (anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationships including pre-marriage counseling). As a Certified Trauma Professional, I provide treatment for trauma-related mental health challenges including PTSD, complex, developmental, and childhood traumas. All it takes is a 20-minute free call to answer all your questions and see if you'd like to work with me. After all, you deserve a "life worth living!"

I’m a Registered Social Worker and Child and Youth Care Practitioner with almost 20 years experience working with diverse children, youth, individuals and families in a variety of settings. Finding a therapist you connect with is one of the most important things in supporting mental wellness. I use a warm, empathetic eclectic and integrative approach, I'm strength-based and non-judgmental with a focus on building a professional relationship with you. I use humour (as appropriate!) and work alongside you to support with your goals.

Hello and welcome! My name is Nicole, and I work with parents and caregivers navigating all stages of parenthood, including fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and concerns related to school-aged children. With a background in education, I have unique insight when supporting parents with school-related concerns. While parenting can be a joyful experience, it can be challenging, often leaving parents neglecting their own well-being. I strive to create a judgment-free space for parents and caregivers looking to implement tools to better their mental health while also supporting their children's needs.

You deserve to be happy...and you don't need to struggle alone. Stress, worry, sadness, restlessness, frustration, anger, loss, or loneliness can all feel overwhelming at times...but care, connection, treatment, healing, and empowerment are all within reach. Within psychotherapy... insight, understanding, self-awareness, tools for coping, better functioning, and new ways of relating or behaving are all part of the process of change that you may be hoping for. Whether it be unresolved issues from the past or present circumstances and challenges, a safe, respectful, accepting, patient, and encouraging therapeutic space can be surprisingly rewarding, and make more of a difference than expected.

We all face challenges in life and can lose a sense of ourselves. I strive to uncover a person’s authentic self, in allowing them to understand their purpose and bring empowerment and healing. During our meetings, it is important for me to create an alliance with you from a non-judgemental space that fosters trust. I value all parts of a person that are conflicted, afraid, ashamed, and parts that appear relentless.

Trauma is a part of life that impacts us heavily. There are some events in life that take place unexpectedly, and, it can be difficult to cope, heal, and move forward. Through experience, it is my understanding that we all move at our own pace and need a setting that is safe and non-judgemental to tell our story.

I have a passion for working alongside clients who are feeling held back by their past experiences. By specializing in trauma work, I support individuals living with anxiety-related disorders, personality disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, complex post-traumatic stress disorder, moral injury, and more. I offer a collaborative approach, working together to create an individualized treatment plan that best supports you on your unique journey towards healing and recovery.

Are you struggling with overwhelming emotions or intrusive thoughts that are getting out of control? I can help you with my science-based multidisciplinary approach to psychotherapy that draws on a range of treatment methods tailored to your individual needs and goals, with particular specialization in intrusive thoughts, anxiety, Pure O OCD, OCD, depression, breakups, relationship issues and social anxiety. I offer an in-depth understanding of many issues my clients bring to therapy, not just due to my psychotherapy training and relationship coaching background but through facing and resolving similar issues in my own life.

I strongly believe that the first secret ingredient to successful therapy is a strong and safe therapeutic connection with each client I meet. I provide EVIDENCE-BASED, ON-LINE CLINICAL HYPNOTHERAPY, MINDFULNESS, CBT & YOGA PSYCHOTHERAPY FOR ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, RELATIONSHIPS etc. As a Cognitive Behaviour (CBT), Mindfulness Based (MBCT), and Yoga Therapist (evidence based therapies and practices), it is my goal to help you identify and change your thought patterns and behaviours, and to provide you with effective coping strategies to assist you with difficult feelings and challenging situations present in your life.

As a Registered Psychotherapist, and Marriage & Family Therapist, I work with individuals, couples and families. I offer an emotionally safe, non-judgmental and relational approach for my clients to share the content of their stories, circumstances, and life experiences. I have worked with a wide range of clients within the realms of cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and relational issues, however at the root of nearly all presenting problems is the emotional impact of a relationship. My specialty in relationships enables me to work confidently, and effectively with my clients regardless of their identified issue.

I have been there! That is what makes my counselling stand out from others who have not. Being a Certified Addiction Counsellor with lived experience, I know what it's like to struggle with addiction and what it takes to recover. My passion is to help those suffering from addictions, stemming from past trauma, heal. I am also certified in both Anger Management and Domestic Violence (PARS). All my programs are court approved using evidence-based and clinically proven practices. I work from a client-centered approach where you are the agent of change & I am your guide to help you reach your goal and become your authentic self.

My approach is client-centred, which means I don't have a "one size fits all" method to therapy. I have worked with people from all different walks of life. My goal is to provide you with a safe space to speak about whatever issues you need help with each session. My experience has primarily been working with individual adults of all ages, however I have also done some assessment work with children and adolescents.

My practice is fully virtual (video or phone calls) and can meet with anyone residing in Ontario and Quebec. I work with career-minded people who struggle with substance use, mood/anxiety concerns or ADHD. I work with people who are in high-pressure or creative fields who feel they can be doing better, but struggle to get there on their own. I strive to create a warm, collaborative space where you can explore concerns and learn tools to cope. I understand everyone is at a different place in their journey, and I’ll meet you where you’re at. I feel fortunate to have worked in many settings that uplift 2SLGBTQ+ and BIPOC populations.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed or a bit unsure what to do? Tired of experiencing that? My clients see me for a variety of topics including confidence, anxiety, motivation, life/school/work changes, performance and expectations, careers and, of course - relationships, habits and fears. My mental health and corporate leadership experience allows me to better support the diverse clients regardless of their background, work or family status and stage in their life. Besides mental health strategies and interventions, I incorporate professional coaching techniques to help some of the clients to unleash their full potential.

I bring a gentle, whole-person approach to therapy with a focus on creating safety and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. I will work collaboratively with you to help you gain new perspectives, shift towards preferred ways of being, and create space for new possibilities. Together, we will tap into your existing strengths and abilities, develop new skills and internal resources, and foster resiliency to help you realise your goals and make positive changes.

Feelings are hard to talk about. I understand that. It can be scary and unfamiliar. It can feel too vulnerable to bring to the surface what you have been carrying within yourself for so long. Maybe you don't know what you're feeling - that's okay, and it's also incredibly valuable to explore difficulty accessing feelings in and of itself. Maybe you're accustomed to talking about your feelings but you're stuck in old patterns that don't feel good. However you come to therapy, I will try to meet you where you are, with warmth, acceptance and curiosity.

I fundamentally believe that every individual is the expert of their own experience, and I aspire to work and learn with and alongside you. I take a critical, anti-oppressive and intersectional stance to my work, as I believe that all of our struggles connect to larger social and structural realities.
