Do you feel unmotivated, stuck or fatigued? Do you find yourself feeling irritable or anxious around others? Do you feel increased stress from the pandemic? My approach to therapy is not only helping you manage and cope with your symptoms, but also work towards resolving them. I believe that you have the inner workings to heal and live a meaningful life based on your values. It can be difficult to navigate the therapy world and I commend you on taking the first step in seeking help. If you have already started your healing journey I welcome the opportunity to collaborate.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I'm trained to provide professional and ethical treatment services to adults for a range of mental health concerns and everyday problems. I aim to help my clients resolve symptoms, but also to improve their sense of wellbeing and happiness and help develop strategies to manage future challenges that might arise. I take a collaborative approach to therapy and work with my clients to set treatment goals and develop a plan to address them.

With over 12 years of experience - I offer individual, couples/marriage and family therapy. Through understanding, I offer an authentic and warm environment for support and compassion. I believe it is very important to foster a safe space for both acceptance and change, therefore, integrating your worldview is a vital part of the process. I work from a client-centered, strength based perspective by listening attentively to fully understand your issue, so that through collaboration we can identify solutions in a way that is empowering.

We humans suffer because we don’t get what we want and get what we don’t want. Most of us want to find a quick cure to our emotional pain. Quick cures sedate the pain which is the source of Wisdom, Compassion, Understanding and Real Love. My approach is for the person who wants to answer the timeless questions of: “Who am I?”, “Where did I come from?”, “Where am I going?” from their own depths and to their full understanding. It is in this journey, through self-inquiry, that they become happier, wiser and more compassionate.

My areas of expertise include the treatment of depression, anxiety (e.g social anxiety, panic, agoraphobia, health anxiety, phobias), obsessive-compulsive disorder and related disorders (e.g. body dysmorphia, trichotillomania), bipolar disorder , trauma, interpersonal and relationship difficulties, grief and loss, acculturation stress and difficult life transitions. I work towards helping you cope with difficult thoughts, intense emotions and unhelpful behaviours, along with strengthening your interpersonal functioning. My approaches include cognitive, behavioural, mindfulness, interpersonal and attachment-focused therapies.

Hello, I'm Sage, (he/him) & I will provide you with respect, safety, empathy, validation, understanding, patience, attentive listening, support of your natural inalienable human rights & your self-determination. I'm trained in and/or certified in many therapeutic modalities, including: Narrative, Trauma, CBT, Brief Solution-Focused, Coaching, Spiritual Counselling & 1st Nations. I can help you identify false beliefs, or remove barriers on your path & help you navigate through these challenging times while balancing your individuality & obligations while on your individual journey. I do not practice Social Work outside of Canada.

After 20 years of working with clients, what I usually hear on the first appointment is fear and self-doubt about one's own ability to get over one's difficulties. Lots of reasons are given to about why they think they can't change including: "I've been ill too long - nobody's been able to help me; how can you possibly help"?, "I have a chronic mental illness and I have been told that nobody can recover", "I have tried to use CBT before and it didn't work - nothing worked", "I'm worse than the other clients you have seen". I will tell you that all these statements are false beliefs. Clients who have said this still changed!

Our mental health is so important to take care of, and you're making a brave decision to focus on that self-care. We will work together to create a safe space where you feel comfortable to explore your thoughts and feelings, and talk through any life changes or concerns. Sometimes this experience can help give you more insight and understanding of problems in your life that are impacting your mental health, or it could be an opportunity to learn new ways of resolving such problems. Either way, I will offer support and tools that will help you continue to navigate difficult situations in a way that supports your mental health.

Hi! I am Gabrielle and I am glad you found my page. I truly believe in how changes can be difficult but necessary to achieve self-efficacy and serenity. My approach is based on an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed and client-centered framework which means that everyone is unique and so is my approach. I believe in a collaborative therapeutic approach and that you have control over your own decisional process.

I am a social worker and psychotherapist who has worked passionately and extensively with individuals, families and health-care organizations. Therapy is a way for people to get extra support, when you need it. If you are struggling with a personal crisis, overwhelming emotion, a life transition, problems with family or friends, career questions, or the need to move on from past events, therapy can help.

Sometimes you just need to talk with someone who gets it. I am a strong communicator who is professional and calm under pressure and I provide empathetic, welcoming, evidence-based engagement and support for clients seeking online therapy in Toronto. I have worked across adult healthcare and mental health settings with a focus on psychotherapy. I approach my work with clients in a way that is client-centred, highly ethical, harm reduction oriented and attachment/trauma-informed. I am continually seeking to be intersectional, feminist, anti-oppressive and anti-racist in my practice, and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.

I am a registered psychologist with 20 years experience (11 as psychologist, 9 prior as psychotherapist). I work with adults, couples, adolescents and families. I am privileged to have worked with people on issues that include anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, PTSD, infidelity, stress, loneliness, low self-esteem, dissatisfaction in relationship at work or at home, family relationship conflicts, couple relationship difficulties, addiction, work-related problems, coping with chronic illness and injuries, lifestyle changes, LGBT, sexual problems, and difficult life transitions such as loss of a loved one, divorce, or career changes.

I offer a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space. I hope to help individuals achieve their desired goals and overcome life’s challenges. Taking a collaborative approach, my goal is to support others through their healing journey; allowing them to feel heard, validated and understood. I believe every individual is capable of achieving their own happiness, reaching their full potential, and becoming the best version of themself. I aim to help others identify their struggles, gain skills to cope and develop a treatment plan that is tailored to meet each individual’s unique goals and needs.

Many of us struggle with problems for weeks, months or even years, but when it gets to the point where you're overwhelmed and it's interfering with your life, work or threatening your relationships, I can help. My approach is non-judgmental, down-to-earth and goal-directed. My Specialties are: sex therapy, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, trauma, PTSD, sexual abuse, separation & divorce counselling and career testing (adults & teens). As a seasoned therapist, I use various modalities: CBT (cognitive-behaviour therapy), Adlerian, Reality, Attachment, Brief Solution-Focussed and Art Therapy (children & teens). LGBTQ Positive.

If it didn't rain, we wouldn't have flowers. This is one of my all-time favourite quotes. It has directed my experience both as a client and a therapist. Sometimes we have to weather the storm. We have to sit through, experience and acknowledge our negative emotions. Together we can explore the ups and downs and move towards healing. In doing so, I believe your appreciation for all the amazing things the world has to offer you will increase.

I specialize in soul work, and I use intuition and creative approaches to help clients identify and transform beliefs that are no longer helpful. Once a limiting belief is cleared and exchanged for a more helpful and objective belief, my clients report experiencing flow and possibility where there had previously been overwhelming stuckness. Since I help people address the layers beneath physical, emotional, relational, existential, and spiritual challenges, we may be a good fit if you're looking to go deeper than standard talk-therapy.
