Therapists in Summerhill, Toronto, ON

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and a humanistic mental health counsellor. Do you feel like things aren't the way you thought they would be? Are you feeling stuck or misunderstood? I offer talking therapy towards helping you shape your perspective into a healthy and productive one. Whether it's your career, your relationships, or anything else that's important to you. I practice under a multicultural and multilingual perspective respecting the individual experience of otherness.

Do you spend your day feeling hijacked by your emotions, immobilized by fear, or paralyzed by shame? Do you find yourself stuck in problematic patterns of behaviour or relationships? Perhaps, you start to believe there must be something wrong with you. Maybe, you’ve been stuck in this cycle for so long a life without pain, fear, and judgement becomes unimaginable. You don’t deserve to feel this way and you don’t have to navigate this alone. I can help you get to a place where the pain, fear and judgment are no longer calling the shots in your life.

Are you seeking relief, clarity and well-being? Realigning your inner strengths and creating the balance you desire and deserve in your life is achievable! Stressful relationships (personal, family, work), loss, depression, anxiety, anger and conflict are some things I can assist you with. I can help you with being focused and grounded and, ultimately, more present. Being present, with yourself and others, is the only place from which you can make effective, conscious, lasting choices and changes. During 24 years in private practice I've had the privilege of working with many people of different ages, personalities and backgrounds.

I provide psychotherapy for trauma, PTSD, grief, sexual abuse, physical abuse, mental and emotional abuse, childhood abuse, racism/racial abuse, depression, anxiety, anger issues, behavioral issues, self esteem issues, self image issues, relationship issues, work stress, personal stress, and stress from everyday issues.

Hello! My name is Rachel and I’m a registered psychotherapist (qualifying) located in Toronto, ON. I am currently available to work virtually or over the phone with individuals and couples across North America, and focus on working with teen and adult clients. I'm so glad that you are taking the first step to seek support for your mental wellbeing! As a kind and respectful therapist, I will give you the space and understanding you need, while gently pushing you towards your goals in a collaborative and open minded way.

My practice offers counselling to young people, adults and specialized separation/parenting services for families. Challenges experienced by clients may include: navigating family change, stress, anxiety, peer/romantic relationships, self-regulation, and managing behaviours (ADHD, OCD, ODD). As a Collaborative Family Professional, I work with parents wanting to minimize conflict for their family as they go through transition and change. I provide emotional support throughout the out-of-court process, help caregivers build skills to co-parent, and neutrally facilitate meetings during the collaborative process.

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California, a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario, and a Clinical Fellow of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. With over 20 years of clinical experience, I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families. My areas of focus include Interpersonal Relationships, Anxiety, Depression, Anger Management, Parenting, ADHD, Trauma, Life Transitions, Loss and Grief.

Do you have a difficult time looking at yourself with compassion and acceptance because the way you react, behave, and feel is wrong? Maybe it’s reacting with anger and defensiveness, or isolation and shutting down. Maybe it’s feeling like you are not smart enough. attractive enough, or simply not enough. Either way, you are left feeling ashamed of who you are. Imagine a life where you did not feel this way. You did not feel controlled by your emotions, you found joy in the ups and downs, and you look at yourself in a positive light. Beginning therapy is nerve-wracking, but I hope you take a moment (and a deep breath) to reach out.

We all have a unique journey that adds value to who we are and how we can contribute every day. My personal journey took me down some challenging paths that required me to find new hope and build from the ground up. I feel that the hardships, challenges and triumphs I have endured can inspire and bring hope to others. I believe that through the toughest times of our lives, there is always a silver lining.

You feel off balance with your emotional, physical or spiritual health but find it hard to reach out. When you do try, you may feel like you're burdening others or the idea of opening up to someone you don't know might seem challenging. This is why trust is at the core of my practice because I recognize how hard it is to share or try something new. Together, we'll create a non-judgemental space so you can feel safe sharing your hopes, joys, fears and sorrows (and everything in-between).

People of all ages have expertise on their own lives. When problems linger and impact mental health and well-being, collaborating with a therapist who is a good fit for you can provide a safe space to establish perspective and highlight the unique values, skills and knowledge you bring to your lived experience. I strive to create warm, respectful and strength-based working relationships that allow us to identify problem solving skills and abilities to reduce the influence of the problem or dissolve it altogether. Sometimes a single consultation is useful while other problems might have us consulting for a period of time.

I am so grateful to work in a career that I love and find meaningful. As much as I help my clients, my clients also inspire me with their resiliency. I have 12+ years experience and I am strongly committed and passionate about upgrading my knowledge. I believe that learning is a life-long journey! I provide practical strategies to help you improve your life. Through personalized therapy sessions, I will help you identify areas that need improvement and give you the tools to make positive changes.

With a unique background in business, coaching, and psychology, I support professionals and executives and help them thrive and succeed in their careers, work, and personal lives. In collaborating together, we may focus on various areas, including career transitions, leadership development, interpersonal relationships, stress management, and other workplace-related issues -- or simply to identify and tap into their full potential to realize desired goals. Our work generally results in deeper insights into themselves with more expansive perspectives of the world. This empowers clients to move forward with more meaning and purpose.

If you are looking for a Psychotherapist, chances are you are going through a rough patch or time of change in your life. Marriage or familial issues. Anxiety or depression. Stress, grief and loss. Substance abuse. Life transition or even career issues. These are the types of growing edges that often lead people to seek support. I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy and that the client is the expert on their own life. As a working professional for over a decade, I have worked with families, couples and individuals. I would be honoured to help you reach your goals!

I am a current Board Member of CAPT (Canadian Association of Psychodynamic Therapists). I've come to this professional life as a therapist after years as an English instructor (ESL), server, and professional musician. Many of us these days are feeling depressed and/or anxious about life and how to move forward. I know that it requires courage to trust another with your story, but there is so much to be gained from speaking about it. Together, we can work to discover a deeper sense and better understanding of who you are as a person. When you're ready, I'll be ready as well and we can work to change your life for the better.

Currently Accepting New Clients. Life is a journey, and we can sometimes find ourselves overwhelmed and in need of a safe place to receive much-needed support. My goal as a therapist is to help you feel seen, heard and understood and to put you and your needs at the center of the work we do together. In doing so, I prioritize the development of a sincere therapeutic relationship rooted in compassion and respect without judgment.

Everyone experiences life differently, but we can make sense of it together. I provide a space in which you can talk through the challenges of life in the context of an empathic, caring and safe relationship. I approach my work as a therapist with relational and empathic listening, nonjudgmental exploration, interactive engagement, respectful challenge, and mutual participation in the therapeutic process. My work is informed by a holistic approach to respect the relational, interconnected nature of human experience. Together we will explore the emotional, cognitive, physical, sociocultural & spiritual factors that impact your life.

I understand what it's like to search for a therapist- we hope to find someone who feels like a good fit and with whom we feel a sense of comfort and connection. Are you searching for a therapist for a specific reason, or, like many of us, are you unsure about why you are searching at all? My approach is client-led, which means that you decide what to talk about in our sessions. I will listen with empathy and acceptance. Together, we will illuminate and make sense of issues in your emotional life. We will create space for new understandings about yourself. This self-discovery will be handled with compassionate regard for you.
