Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Central Toronto, Toronto, ON

I've spent years not only working as an entrepreneur, but working with entrepreneurs and driven people. I understand that although the chase is exciting, it can be exhausting, lonely and feel endless. In a study conducted by Dr. Freeman of UC in San Francisco, 72% of the surveyed entrepreneurs reported mental health concerns. Let's work together so you don't have to be "that bad" or join that stat. I help you manage your life so you can better manage your work.

Hi! I'm Dr. Karen Wilson, a Clinical Neuropsychologist at MindFit, with over 17 years of experience and am registered in Ontario and California. I specialize in providing comprehensive assessments to children, teens and adults and have significant expertise working with individuals with: ADHD, executive functioning challenges, giftedness, learning disabilities, anxiety, low mood, and more. I am also an Assistant Clinical Professor at UCLA, sought after speaker, and founder of ChildNEXUS.com (providing information about neurodevelopmental challenges to parents).

I am a registered psychotherapist and offer psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. I hold a PhD in Sociology, which gives me a particular appreciation for how psychological and relational difficulties are shaped by life experiences and broader social conditions. I see therapy as a unique conversation involving me listening with a non-judgmental curiosity to help you similarly listen to yourself. This approach enables us to explore the experiences and difficulties that bring you to therapy, whether that be a specific crisis, a period of transition, feelings of "stuckness," relational patterns, emotions that trouble you, or an interest in personal growth.

Hi, and welcome. I’m so happy you are here. If you are experiencing mental health challenges as it relates to relationships concerns, eating disorders, depression, anxiety and low-self esteem, I would love to support you. Let’s get you to a place of unconditional self-love and acceptance, achieving goals serenity, acceptance, wholeness, and happiness so you can live a calmer, fulfilled, enriched life and thrive. If you find yourself returning to destructive relationships, having low self-esteem and negative self-talk, and low coping skills or emotional regulation, I’d love to work with you!

Change is an inevitable part of life and while it is natural and we change in ways we desire and appreciate, life can demand that we change in ways that seem difficult or even impossible. We hope to experience excitement, confidence, clarity and good fortune, but are met with disappointment, pain, confusion, and loss. Our ways of coping, while effective at times, can become insufficient at other times. We handle distressing beliefs and burdens by turning to internet surfing, food, alcohol and drug use, porn and other pleasurable yet distracting activities that keep unwanted feelings at bay.

As a psychologist, I work with change. Change may involve shifts in awareness, attitude, behaviour, goals, acceptance, or coping strategies that will enhance your quality of life and well-being. Many obstacles can prevent us from living a satisfying life. These could be a history of trauma, invalidating relationships, habits that no longer serve us, or environments that may hinder our psychological growth. I can help you identify obstacles to your quality of life, develop strategies to tackle them, and set goals to increase and maintain your well-being.

I am a registered social worker who was brought to therapeutic work through my own process of understanding how to authentically connect to our selves, our bodies and others in the midst of healing from relational trauma. With trauma and loss having been prominent aspects of my life, I am familiar with how the impacts of these experiences act as barriers to connection and repair.

I work with clients to ensure that they are receiving the care that works with their unique goals, and that they feel witnessed through their journey. I work with clients, from youths to adults, who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, sex and intimacy challenges, and interpersonal relationship issues. My aim is to support and guide clients using a mind-body approach that cultivates more depth from their self-reflection and emotional processing. I approach this work with openness, and aim to create a safe and brave space where these stories are both held and heard.

I understand the idea of starting therapy can be intimidating and overwhelming. It takes courage to take that leap and begin facing your thoughts and feelings. As your therapist I make sure you feel understood, heard and validated. I provide individualized, creative and collaborative care for children, adolescents and young adults who are experiencing a variety of mental health concerns, including trauma, anxiety, depression and self-esteem issues. ​

Hi I am Ashlyn, I focus on personalizing therapy while building a warm, validating, judgment-free, safe space for adult to work through challenging issues. With clinical training and professional experience, from my Masters at 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, & life-transitions. I am dedicated to helping my clients achieve their goals and live a fulfilling life. Together we will explore your thoughts, feelings, intuition and physical sensations to find a path to healing, growth & fulfillment.

When life stressors become overwhelming, we typically turn to familiar ways of coping. It takes self-awareness and courage to interrupt this cycle, and I commend you for taking the initial step toward meaningful change. I work with individuals struggling with the impact of a wide range of concerns: anxiety, depression, interpersonal trauma, shame, relationship issues, emotion regulation, and loss/grief. I also have extensive experience working with people who struggle with eating disorders and body image, as well as those who are enduring the challenges of integrating their cultural identity.

What do you think when you think of therapy? Are you looking for a therapist who is warm, open, and wants to support you exactly where you are at? When you think of connecting with a therapist, what are some of your hopes? My name is Adrian and I want to provide an open and collaborative space where we can connect about issues you are facing. Things such as grief, depression, anxiety, systemic oppression, not feeling accepted, transitions, and maybe an overall feeling that things are harder than they could be.

If you're having trouble managing your emotions, maintaining healthy relationships, or moving on from a past experience, then I want to offer you some extra support. The past two years have been especially taxing for all of us, leaving many of us feeling stalled in our previous trajectories, and perhaps struggling to navigate the financial, emotional, and mental challenges that have emerged. This can make it feel like reaching your potential is less achievable. I employ a culturally sensitive, collaborative, and client-centered approach to therapy that seeks to establish an environment of stability, trust, safety, and non-judgement.

I've witnessed remarkable transformations through timely therapy. Using proven techniques and a warm, client-centered approach, I'm here to join you on your path of self-exploration, understanding, and growth. My style is genuine, compassionate, and attuned to your unique needs. As a client-centered therapist, I prioritize meeting you where you are and collaboratively working toward your goals. Let's embark on this journey together – reach out to me and let's connect!
