Manulife Therapists in Central Toronto, Toronto, ON

Hi I am Ashlyn, the owner of Mindful Pleasures Therapy, a private practice that focuses on individuals and couples. After receiving my masters from the University of Toronto, I have experience working with a wide range of issues including but not limited to anxiety, depression, sex, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and life-transitions. I am dedicated to helping my clients achieve their goals in a holistic way by personalizing therapy in warm, judgment-free, creative space to explore you. Together we will explore your intuition, thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations to find a path to healing, growth and fulfillment.

How to find hope? How do you heal the ache you feel inside? If you are feeling overwhelmed, engaging in therapy can help you feel calm again. You enjoy being in CONTROL, confident in your decisions, and CLEAR about where you are headed. However, at times you feel overwhelmed and uncertain. It is important to talk about your feelings, work through fears, and gain understanding and clarity. No one knows you better than YOU. It is my privilege to work with you and your process of self-discovery.

Congratulations on taking your first steps to improving your psychological wellness! Starting treatment is often daunting and scary, which is why I make it my top priority to foster a comfortable and secure connection between myself and the client, as this relationship becomes the foundation for support and healing. To foster this bond, I do my best to provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space to explore one’s concerns and challenges. As your therapist, I strive to create a safe environment to process and explore challenging emotions, traumas, and events with the goal of navigating towards a better future.

I have several years of experience working with adolescents, young adults and families on challenges related to stress, anxiety, emotion regulation, relationship issues, grief, parenting, family conflict and life transitions. I offer a gentle, caring and compassionate approach. I believe in the relationship between therapist and client to help individuals to reflect, explore and grow in order to develop successful relationships outside of therapy. Together, we can make sense of thoughts and feelings and connect them to previous and current experiences to change unhelpful patterns so that you can be your best self.

Hello. Thank you for visiting my page! I am Antonella Magnatta, a Licensed Psychologist in Private Practice. I am registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario and am currently accepting new clients.

I have extensive experience working with adolescent and adult populations transitioning through life stages. I support individuals and families experiencing a range of mental health challenges as I provide a unique perspective on coping with anxiety, navigating relationships, and building resiliency. Using a realistic and non-judgemental approach, I help my clients overcome obstacles and rewrite their own narratives. Making effective change isn't easy but it's never motivated by shame or criticism. I feel this is crucial when working to build self-esteem, overcome substance use dependency, alcoholism, and other forms of addiction.

I provide individual, couples & family therapy. Do you feel burdened by your thoughts? Are feeling overwhelmed? Do you find it challenging to fall asleep at night? Do you wish that you could just turn your mind off, to finally get a few moments of peace? I can help you take your life back, feel better, experience ease of being and get more restful sleep. I help individuals overcome anxiety, depression, burnout, overwhelm & stress. I also help couples who have many unmet needs; feel frustrated, resentful & angry in their relationship; struggle to communicate effectively; no longer experience intimacy or have lost trust.

By leveraging an action-oriented approach to psychotherapy and life coaching, I guide you toward taking transformational steps toward a positive, healthful, balanced, and fulfilling life. My approach combines psychodynamic, narrative, solution-focused, trauma-informed, and cognitive-behavioural therapy. I specialize in 'depth therapy' or 'depth work,' an insightful practice aimed at uncovering and addressing the root cause of emotional distress and fostering the development of a strong core identity. Reflect deeply on yourself in a respectful, safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment.

I am a reformed intellectualizer who now helps couples and individuals through body-based psychotherapy. Many of my clients feel disconnected from their bodies, whether this be because of pain (both chronic and sexual), burnout, trauma, ADHD or emotional numbing. It can be impossible to feel sometimes. While our bodies are smart and have adapted to our environments, there is also a way to reconnect and heal.

I am a registered clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. I provide assessment and treatment to individuals with issues such as anxiety, depression, OCD, insomnia, and those having difficulty coping with stress. I also have experience working with individuals with medical problems including obesity and related health concerns. I also provide neuropsychological assessment for issues such as ADHD, learning disabilities, concussion, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson’s disease and related conditions, dementia, epilepsy.

If you are exploring trauma, PTSD, anxiety and depression through the lens of ADHD, ASD (Autism) combined with anxiety, you are welcome here. I understand your needs. As an individual or couple experiencing relationship issues and life transitions, I can vary greatly, and I create unique therapy plans. In addition to assessments, we deeply explore self; I provide personalized guidance and 1-2-1 coaching vital to developing new strategies, changing, and learning new life skills to make life easier and a happy place for you.

I am a licensed psychologist with dual registration as a Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychologist and a Family Psychologist. I offer dyadic parent-infant/child psychotherapy for toddlers (2-5), play therapy for children (6-11) and talk therapy for preteens and teens (12-18). I also provide psychoeducational, ADHD and diagnostic/social emotional assessments for children and adolescents. These can include testing for learning disorders, giftedness, mental health disorders, ADHD, developmental concerns, intellectual disabilities, and assessments for post-secondary school.

I seek to help clients heal old wounds in order to show up in their lives and their relationships as their true Self. I use a mix of therapy modalities, grounded in a holistic, empowering, non-judgmental and trauma-informed approach. During the 10 years I spent working as a corporate lawyer, I experienced firsthand how external pressures can drown out our inner guidance and needs, leading to feelings of “stuckness”, dissatisfaction, and resentment. Our modern world over-emphasizes productivity and achievement to the detriment of our own nourishment and well-being, leaving most of us in a chronic state of anxiety and stress.

You might find it difficult to manage or control your emotions. You might feel overly sensitive or even numb. You might experience overwhelming thoughts, that are often negative or you might even have intrusive thoughts about your past. Often these concerns can be severe and related to traumatic events that can raise questions for you, about how to start feeling better. Traumatic experiences can keep us trapped in the past and cycling in the memories, emotions, and thoughts about ourselves and those around us. My passion is to work with individuals from various backgrounds who are experiencing significant mental health challenges.

Is something holding you back? Are you going through a life transition or feeling overwhelmed by negative thoughts and distressing emotions? I offer a safe and judgment-free environment, and take a collaborative and evidence-based approach in working with clients to help them move forward. I work with clients to help them reconnect with strengths, identify unhelpful patterns and learn coping skills to manage distress. I believe each client can be supported towards life improvement.

Seeking individual, couples or family counselling? You are in the right place. If you are experiencing difficulty making a decision, feeling stuck and stressed, wanting to improve some aspects in your life or a relationship; I am here to help. You don't have to go through it on your own. Life challenges require both taking the first step & reaching out for the right support. Areas of focus: stress and anger, marital issues, anxiety & depression, ADHD, trauma/PTSD, family conflict, substance use/addictions, self-esteem & identity, grief, loss & life transitions. An internationally recognized educator/speaker on Mental health & workplace wellness, workplace stress & suicide prevention.

How to find hope? If you are feeling overwhelmed, engaging in therapy can help you feel calm again. Are you and/or your child having struggling, having difficulty regulating emotions? Perhaps you are worried about how your child is coping with changes. In parenting, there are many challenges involved in guiding little people towards becoming adults and life can force families to face events that impact children's ability to function successfully within their daily environments.

As a man, you face distinct challenges that often are not discussed. You might feel isolated, wrestling silently with emotions that seem to flare up, leading to anger or other reactions you'd rather not experience. You might feel disconnected from who you truly are, or have become so accustomed to unhealthy coping strategies that your own identity seems blurred. You may feel as though you're navigating this journey alone, but I'm here to assure you that there's a way forward - a path towards better understanding and healthier responses. Together, my goal is to help discover the real you and build towards a more balanced life.
