Spirituality Therapists in Central Toronto, Toronto, ON

Jackie specializes in working with students and adults dealing with issues related to major life transitions, depression and anxiety, faith and spirituality , and cross-cultural/inter-generational experiences.

Hello! My name is Adrian. I help adults navigate journeys of self-discovery and healing. My practice bridges the gap between Western Psychology and Eastern Spirituality . My work with clients often explores Meaning and Identity, Relationships (romantic, family dynamics), Attachment, Trauma, Boundaries, Shadow Self, Intuition, Creativity, Authentic Self-Expression, Mindfulness and Spiritual Development.

Your religion, spirituality , or culture has become a source of distress, or even suffering—rather than of strength. You’re struggling with feeling pressured to make choices based on cultural/religious expectations and beliefs that don’t work for you, with conflicts in interfaith or multicultural relationships, or perhaps whether to leave or join a religious community. You’ve found yourself thinking, "I don't know who I am anymore, or what I'm doing with my life." Relentless uncertainty or confusion can leave you feeling too drained to cope with life, much less enjoy it. At this point, you just want to feel "not broken."

I work best with those who have ongoing anxiety symptoms, racing thoughts, or symptoms from past trauma. While I have a focus in working with children, teens and young adults, I offer individual, couple, and family counselling. Navigating complex life issues can be challenging, and it’s even harder when it impacts other areas of our lives such as our loved ones and family. Past and on-going trauma can have devastating impact in many different ways. I provide a safe place to process various emotional and mental struggles and work with people to find ways to cope and manage these life stressors.

I have had the opportunity to work with individuals who, just like you and I, can feel stuck, frustrated and sometimes hopeless. Working with a professional who is able to witness all parts of you can be transformative and make life's challenges feel less overwhelming. For the past 15 years I have supported individuals, couples and families move through the stuck places and towards healing experiences which allow for purposeful change.

I work with adults who are feeling stressed: they may worry, panic or feel shy in social situations, may try to be perfect, may feel badly about themselves, or wish to express themselves more effectively, or to set clearer boundaries with others, or to be more assertive. I also work with people from the straight and LGBTQ communities who are experiencing challenges in their relationships, with sexuality, sexual orientation, alternative relationships, alternative sexualities, and gender. Many experience these challenges, but some may lose a sense of balance in their lives or the ability to enjoy life and relationships while trying to sort out their concerns.

With over 30 years in mental health and addiction services, I bring a strong mix of approaches to help you find your way forward. Integrating CBT, mindfulness, coaching, insight and body-based therapies, together we will build ways that work for you. Our therapeutic work can help you climb out of whatever difficult emotional spot you're in and build the life you're dreaming of. I believe “fit” is essential and offer a free phone consultation to help determine if our Associates, Therapists in Training or myself are the right fit for you. We work with individuals (14 yr+), couples and poly relationships, and families.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist. I offer individual, couple/family counselling. I use emotion and solution-focused techniques in session. We will talk about and explore feelings, helping you completely process emotions, to better guide you in relationships and decision-making. I will also help you learn healthy relationship skills and other issues you may be struggling with ex: boundaries, assertiveness. We will explore what your personal triggers are and how they impact your life, enabling you to move forward. These concerns will be explored together in a safe, open dialogue in which you feel cared for.

I believe that every person has the strength and will to achieve their desired outcomes. My role is to provide you with the tools, support, education, accountability, and environment to help you get there. For shorter-term treatment we will use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. For longer-term therapy, we will also draw on Psychodynamic Therapy and Self Psychology. Regardless of the approach, I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust is the key.

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.

I am a Certified EFT (Emotionally Focused) Therapist (ICEEFT), Registered Marriage & Family Therapist (CAMFT), Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO) & AAMFT Clinical Fellow. I have an MA Psychotherapy & Spirituality and B.Comm. I specialize in relationship issues (working with couples, individuals and families) on issues of disconnection, conflict, past wounds, infidelity and loneliness, and have a sub-speciality in healing adult relational trauma /narcissistic abuse. I also assist individuals with anxiety, burnout, life-transitions and recently the emotional effects of government co-vid measures (eg. fear, isolation, confusion, loss).

I operate with the premise that much of life’s suffering contains within it an inner meaning, waiting to be discovered, seen, and realized. And where one suffers is often the place that contains the seed of new development and personal growth. What is being asked of us is to take the steps to enter deep within ourselves, in order to see what needs be seen, feel what needs be felt, and do what needs be done. Often times it is in the process of entering into ourselves that we find the “attitude” that meets our true needs.

Hello! I am a Registered Psychotherapist based in Ottawa, Canada. As a Holistic Psychotherapist, I assist my clients in restoring health in mind, body, emotion, relationship, and spirit. I provide individual therapy nation-wide by secure video.

Whether you are struggling with specific issues or seeking deeper meaning in your life, I am here to listen and guide you to connect with your inner wisdom and resources to help you navigate through life challenges and improve the quality of your life. Drawing upon my training and experience in a variety of approaches, particularly somatic based approaches such as Sensorimotor (Level 1), Yoga and Mindfulness, our work together will enable you to pay attention to the body mind in a caring and non judgmental way. Such skills can support you in regulating your emotions effectively and shift habit patterns that no longer serve you.

My primary focus is Anxiety and Depression. The aim of therapy is to give you the understanding and tools to help you live a more fulfilling life. What makes my work unique from other therapists is that my training and background in nursing, psychotherapy, psychology, and spirituality allows me to understand and work with clients from ​ a multifaceted approach. I believe the body/emotions/spirit connection is a powerful combination ​to heal the whole self. * Please note I work with adults and adolescents 16+ only.

My mission is to guide you so you can explore what is keeping you "stuck" in a reality that doesn't satisfy you, make conscious what is now unconscious and transform the beliefs that are not letting you be where you want to be. I'm passionate about the union of psychotherapy and spirituality , providing a therapeutic space where we can cultivate unconditional compassion and acceptance for oneself, giving you the tools so you can continue this work in between sessions. My ideal client knows that there is healing in self awareness and getting to know themselves, and they are looking for guidance in this self discovery journey.

Do you feel anxious, scattered or unfocused in what you’re doing? (personal and/or business). Do you struggle with dependencies/addictions that harm you from living a life true to who you are? Do you feel unstable, unconfident and unexpressed in your voice? Do you struggle with chronic health issues that are stress-related or psychosomatic in nature? (bowel syndromes, autoimmune candida, asthma, headaches, skin rashes (eczema, psoriasis). You can heal and feel confident, have clear boundaries, be focused; feel stable, confident and live fully expressed in your voice and on your body's terms. Health is the new wealth.

Our emotions and body sensations offer us important insights into what is working or not in our lives. Paying attention to our thought patterns and the messages we receive from our body/mind helps us to direct our lives to increasing happiness, calm, and fulfillment. It can be difficult to do this on our own, especially at times of feeling a loss of control or intense distress and confusion. A therapist can be a healing mirror and the relationship can provide a safe connection in order to explore life issues together.
