Female Therapists in Central Toronto, Toronto, ON

You might be feeling hopeless and struggling with a challenge in your life, however I want you to know that you hold a lot of strength and resiliency within yourself. Each one of us is an expert in our own lives and my passion lies in helping you recognize your strengths and abilities. I am aware of the importance of building a deep connection with those I am working with and find this to be incredibly valuable.

Unfolding, experiencing and living our authentic selves is what I am passionate about. I am highly skilled in guiding clients in accessing and exploring obstacles that are results of our deeply rooted beliefs. Unquestioned beliefs or limiting thoughts that can manifest as anxiety, depression or other psycho-emotional difficulties can actually be guiding lights on our journey to our true Selves. The essence of our being remains untouched as we grow and is waiting to be found and reconnected with. When you connect on a deeper level with your Self, your purpose, gifts, and talents show in their fullness and potentials show up.

I help women manage their symptoms, find confidence, and reach their true potential. I guide my clients to take control of difficult emotions and develop strategies to break free from constant worrying. I offer a comfortable setting where real change happens quickly.

Drawing from evidence-based research and best practice in emotional, cognitive and behavioral science, we’ll craft a therapeutic space for you to deepen your self-understanding, your motivation for healing and wellness and build a toolbox to strengthen your relationships, personally and professionally. As a therapist, I have an anti-oppressive lens, while using a systemic, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed approach. I believe that a journey of deep and sustainable change and wellness requires an understanding of the context of one’s lived experience.

I provide therapy sessions online and in person at Yonge & St. Clair to people in Toronto, and usually support immigrants and newcomers to Canada who are dealing with depression and anxiety, traumatic experiences, high stress level, life-transitioning situations such as dealing with break ups, career changes, moving to a new country, and adjusting to a new environment.

As a Christian woman , it’s hard navigating your experiences of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Your pain and suffering makes you question “If God is good, then why hasn’t he healed me? Is there something wrong with me? Do I not have enough faith?” Maybe past painful experiences of abuse or neglect haunt you and you can’t seem to forgive and move on. Depression and anxiety feel out of your control leaving you scared and hopeless. You pray and pray and pray and it doesn’t stop. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help as you hoped. You desire and need the peace promised in the bible but it feels so far away.

Feeling worried, insecure, or doubtful in your relationships? I want to help you achieve solutions and life changes you are looking for, while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing yourself in new ways. Simply put, therapy doesn’t have to always be a painful thing. You’ll have a dedicated space to unload your worries, learn how to navigate challenges with grace, and feel empowered to develop fresh insights about your life. Getting in touch with a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to reach out and see how I can help.

Have you ever wondered why, despite all your efforts, some emotional problems or conflicts fail to heal? If you find yourself struggling to understand or cope with ongoing stress in relationships, family, or work or managing difficult emotions internally is causing you anxiety, depression or dissociation, then I invite you into a safe space with me where together we can look at the parts of yourself and the parts of your relationships that are causing you distress. I use a compassionate and integrative approach to psychotherapy to heal negative patterns, thoughts and feelings and enhance self-esteem, self-confidence and self-love.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space to work with individuals who experience interpersonal relationship, parenting, stress, grief, trauma, workplace struggles, anxiety, and depression issues. I teach communication skills to better foster healthy relationships and assist in personal development. I specialize in early relational wounding, shame and trauma. My background includes a special interest in mid life women struggling with self-actualization and self-attunement.

I believe that no one is immune to life's challenges and variabilities. Hopelessness, anxiety, fear, and other negative emotions can become overwhelming, affecting our overall wellness, leaving us exhausted. I help my clients overcome these difficult emotions by providing a non-judgmental, affirming and safe environment that respects boundaries and offers the space they require for their healing process.

If you want to overcome relationship difficulties, while feeling heard and understood in a safe place I am here for you. Struggles with relationships can overwhelm us and make us feel stuck. It hurts deeply when we feel alone and unimportant in relationships. Overtime we may feel confused and question our self-worth. Perhaps you want to build a healthier relationship with your partner, heal from unhealthy family/ romantic relationships or want to learn how to put yourself first with healthy boundaries. As a relationship therapist, I have shared my expertise in major media outlets including Cosmopolitan, Bustle, and EQ magazine.

You want to improve your life in some way, and this is the privilege I have in working with clients everyday. Whether you want to feel happier, less anxious or upset, want to strive for goals and dreams, or want something to improve about your romantic relationship (you'd like to have one, you'd like to improve yours, you'd like to get over one), I'd love to help you with this. I am a skilled individual and couples counselor, having devoted training and expertise to this. Allow yourself to reach out and safely achieve your goals. My inclusive practice welcomes adult individuals and couples, heterosexual or gay, and all cultures.

You enjoy being in control of your circumstances, confident in the decisions you are making, and clear about where you are headed. However, there are times when you feel overwhelmed and uncertain. At these times you struggle to make changes and move forward. It is important to have a safe place to talk about your feelings, work through your fears, and gain some understanding and clarity. I believe no one knows you better than YOU do. It is my privilege to work with you as you journey through the process of self-discovery. I have experienced many changes in my life that have allowed a deeper understanding of the human experience.

You don't have to face life's difficulties alone. If you are struggling with trauma, shame, depression, anxiety, or low-self esteem, or have concerns about relationships, intimacy and setting healthy boundaries, my compassionate, intuitive and collaborative style will help you to become more aware of, and reconnect to your own strengths, develop greater self-compassion and self-acceptance, as well as connect to your potential and find new ways of approaching challenges. I've been a therapist for over 15 years and I offer both individual and couple therapy in downtown Toronto.

You are energy. Energy is power. YOU are power. Owning it = Liberation. I am passionate about empowering women to own their value, step into their power & lead revolutions. I also understand how hard this is when navigating toxic, oppressive cultures, whether it be family, work, school or larger society. The result is heart & spirit woundedness and a mixed bag of feelings such as fear, grief, anxiety, depression, confusion, rage and stuckness, to name a few. I hold a safe space for us to co-explore, feel & process your way through it all at a pace that feels right for you.

If you choose to work with me I will strive to create a safe, respectful and meaningful relationship with you. I will listen carefully, with empathy and without judgement. Sometimes I ask a lot of questions in order to understand, to the best of my ability, what things are like for you. In working together to help me understand your story, usually what happens is that things start to make more sense for you too. Confusion often gives way to clarity. Feelings such as anxiety, anger, depression and isolation often subside as well.

I am a registered psychotherapist who mainly focuses on serving Hispanic women , men and marriages virtually. I support clients in their journey to achieve healing from past experiences towards living more fulfilled and blessed lives. I help clients to see themselves, others and life from a healthier perspective; to improve their relationships with themselves, others and God; to find healthier ways to live, to change unhealthy patterns and to reach their goals. I work with a Christian perspective and use different psychological approaches in my work. I believe that you can change your life if you want that and work on that.

Growing up as an East Asian immigrant woman has shaped my life and informed my practice in many ways. Therapy can be a transformative and empowering experience. I will work with you to develop a deep personal awareness and support you on the path towards healing, learning and growing. It is essential to find a therapist that is a good fit for you. We’ll be a good fit if you are motivated, self-reflective and ready to tackle the daunting task of “figuring it all out.”
