To begin with, I want to welcome you to my profile page and wish you the best in your journey towards healing and growth. I am a registered psychotherapist with fifteen years of clinical experience and more than twenty thousand hours of individual and couple therapy sessions. As a trauma specialist, I have supervised and managed many psychologists and mental health professionals in different parts of the world. In 2015, I was selected to become United Nations designated stress counsellor and trauma therapist. I have ample experience in working with clients who have faced difficult challenges in their lives and are ready to Heal.

As a Registered Social Worker providing Individual and Family Therapy, my aim is to support you in achieving your best hopes, and attaining the visions you have for yourself and your life. I will work to help you recognize and benefit from the capabilities and strengths you possess, discover what motivates you, and work together to uncover new and exciting ways of being. I specialize in child and youth mental health, but I work with people of all ages and stages.

As a Clinical Psychologist and a proud co-owner of the Roncesvalles Psychology Clinic, I help adults and couples with emotional, attachment and relationship issues. I specialize in relationships, marital distress, childhood trauma and mood disorders. My therapy style is warm and collaborative. I help people better understand their emotions and use them to be more self-accepting and create closer relationships. I help couples learn to express themselves in ways that prevent conflict and distress, boost intimacy and relationship satisfaction. By working at a deeper level, I help people create lasting change.

****No longer accepting Clients****Life can be overwhelming, unfair and full of the unexpected. As we seek change in our own behaviour and circumstances, we are often met with unexpected pain, anxiety, and anger that can be difficult to manage. Psychotherapy is a process in which we address obstacles in life and set goals to healing, understanding and moving forward. There is not challenge in life, big or small, that doesn't deserve the thoughtful reflection of therapy.

Anxiety, intrusive thoughts, & emotion or behaviour difficulties can be extremely isolating, leading to feelings of shame and secrecy. Everyday "normal" functions might feel tough. Things as necessary as eating, moving, & relationships might feel confusing, overwhelming, or scary. It may feel like your nervous system is hijacked & you react in unintended ways. One's inner world becomes chaos, while those outside say "it's in your head". Trauma informed therapy recognizes that experiences shape our symptoms/coping strategies. Working together we calm the nervous system, develop new ways to cope, and discover new ways of being.

Whether you want to work in a short-term way, finding practical solutions to problems you face, or in a more open-ended way, exploring and resolving core issues, I bring a warm and gentle presence and listen deeply to what you bring. I have worked as a therapist for over 20 years helping clients address a wide range of issues including relationship difficulties, stress, anxiety, depression, early trauma and loss. My role often involves encouraging clients by acknowledging the wisdom and resources they already possess and by noticing and supporting new changes as they emerge.

As a Registered Psychotherapist working with couples and adults of all ages, I specialize in the treatment of trauma. Therapy provides an opportunity to discuss how symptoms such as: depression, anxiety, anger, relationship difficulties, addictions, and emotional volatility, can feel overwhelming and unmanageable. Over and over I've witnessed people using therapy to feel safer in the world, more hopeful, and better able to reach their full potential in life, work, and in relationship with themselves and others. I am an experienced, empathic therapist and I collaborate to tailor therapy to meet each client's individual needs.

We all experience points in our lives that can be challenging to manage. Traumatic events, loss, conflict, and crisis impact all of us. When these difficulties begin to impede our daily functioning, mood, and relationships, online psychotherapy can help. I am committed to a collaborative, encouraging, and non-judgmental approach which supports self-awareness, healing and growth. My areas of expertise include helping teens and young adults (ages 13-35) overcome anxiety, trauma, depression, panic, agoraphobia, PTSD, OCD, eating disorders, chronic pain, and a range of mental health disorders.

Hi. I'm glad you're here. You may have landed here because you're struggling with feelings of anxiety, loneliness or depression. Or you might be doing alright generally but could use some support as you navigate a life transition (such as new parenthood, loss of relationship, loss of a loved one, career change, or maybe adulting). Maybe you're in a bit of a rough patch and could use a dedicated space to work through it. Wherever you're at, whatever you're dealing with, I aim to meet you where you're at.

I am a queer femme of colour who is working to support collective healing and liberation by offering individual counselling. My work is centred in an intersectional feminist approach to therapy drawing from somatics, narrative and evidence based practices. My approach is to support individuals to build upon existing strengths and daily practices to ensure that they have the tools to live their life in alignment with their own values and desires. I see my role as creating a container to support a person in developing deeper accountability and consent in their relationship with themselves and with others.

I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) and Psychotherapist providing child, youth, individual and family counselling services in Toronto since 2010. I have a Masters of Social Work (MSW) degree from University of Toronto. I provide a safe, respectful and confidential space for you or a loved one to explore the problems and difficulties that bring you to therapy. I strive above all else to be an active listener, caring, empathic and non-judgemental in my conversations with clients.

Therapy can help you resolve life issues and create strategies for positive change. Through a process that promotes self-awareness, healing and growth, you will develop greater capacity for full and healthy living. I help individuals cope with stress, pain, addiction and/or trauma; learn to manage feelings such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief or anger; resolve life issue or transition; and create healthier patterns of relating to others. I support couples to: heal from relationship crisis; develop more fulfillment and healthier communication in their relationship; and make relationship decisions and transitions.

Welcome and thank you for visiting my page. Whether you're interested in coming to therapy for the first time, returning or searching for a new therapist I'm here to meet you where you’re at now - ready to listen, free of judgment. You may be suffering from a difficult life event, feeling stuck, lonely, or a lack of excitement in your life. I want to offer you a space where you can feel whatever you're feeling and express what is difficult to say. We explore your patterns of thoughts and feelings and how they affect your relationships, your choices, and your sense of self. Together we work through what is happening for you.

When a child struggles in school it can be frustrating for parents, but also damaging to their self-esteem. A psychoeducational assessment provides valuable information about learning strengths and needs. Parents often pursue testing when their child struggles with the development of reading, writing, or math skills. Attention, behavioural, and emotional concerns are also reasons. Contrarily, parents may want to investigate enhanced programming for advanced children. Results can be empowering for students who were once confused about their abilities, as well as advise students and parents about future academic and vocational pursuits.

Looking for couples therapy? I am an IFS informed empathetic CRPO registered psychotherapist specializing in couples. My name is Ted and my colleagues, clients and friends have at various times described me as empathetic, kind, gentle and insightful. I see couples and individuals. If you have attended a Hold Me Tight retreat and would like to continue with an EFT therapist, then please contact me.

My approach to helping children begins with building a warm and trusting relationship. Every child is unique so I tailor my practice to each child by factoring their family, their friends, and their school. My clients value this child and family-centered approach which places their needs at the core of my services. As a clinical neuropsychologist, I understand how behaviour and learning are influenced by the developing brain.

As a philosophical therapist, I offer a supportive environment in which to explore your thoughts and emotions, as well as stimulating dialogue in which you will strengthen your ability to face challenges by using creative and deeply reflective thinking. The idea is to think big and come at problems from a fresh and sometimes surprising perspective. I also help problem-solve at the level of habits, when it's time to put our philosophical reflections into practice and make desired changes at the level of daily living. The goal is to discover a greater sense of possibility and to use that to live with greater clarity and authenticity.

The experience of a peaceful and content relationship with yourself is your birthright, and rewarding relationships with others is inherent in that promise. We can reach for that promise together as I hear your story, encourage your exploration & respond with empathy. Fear, anxiety, grief, & doubt can block or constrict your self-expression. Therapy invites you into an expansive sense of self by relieving you of the burden of worn out patterns which no longer serve you. With a little courage and support you can expect to claim your strengths & wisdom, and develop your resilience in response to life's challenges.

I am dedicated to the emotional well being of children and their families and to help them find the equilibrium that respects everyone's needs, temperament, developmental stage and aspirations. I use a wide range of approaches tailored to the child and family such as play therapy, art therapy, narrative and solution focused approaches, mindfulness, parent-child attachment and positive behavioural support strategies.
