Family Therapy in West Toronto, Toronto, ON

Are you feeling stuck, alone, overwhelmed, lost or yearning for more meaning in life? I believe therapy offers a unique opportunity for inner exploration to gain insight into your thoughts, emotions, relationship dynamics, past experiences and cultural contexts that have impacted your current struggles. Through our work together I will support you in developing more balanced perspectives, relating to yourself with more compassion, learning flexible ways of coping, building connection, and empowerment to move towards the life you desire.

Are you feeling anxious, low and tired, having trouble managing each day? Do you see yourself negatively and others as coping better than you? If you are feeling stuck, alone and unsure of what to do, getting help can start with a phone call. Getting help can start with confidential appointments where the focus is about you and the problems you want to understand and change. A caring, professional relationship is a place where you feel understood, safe and supported in building your confidence, coping skills, and strengths; together we plan and build paths towards your goals.

I have run men's groups for nearly 30 years helping men become more effective and loving husbands partners, fathers and sons as well as better stewards in their outside world.The aim of this Men's Group is to create a context where each man is able to be honest, vulnerable and feel safe enough to speak his previously undisclosed inner truth in the presence of other supportive men, and to feel and show emotions other than anger. A place where men can feel their deepest emotions - laugh and cry and restore a true brotherhood.

I believe that successful therapy begins with finding the right therapist for you. To help you accomplish this, during our initial consultation, I establish whether you are comfortable with my approach to therapy, training and experience. I respect your right to ask any questions and find answers that are relevant to developing a strong, professional theraputic relationship. Important aspects that will help you choose the right therapist are that they: can show you a relevant diploma or license to practice have completed training which includes theoretical perspectives and supervised practice listen and respect your feelings connect well with you

Hi, I'm Sabrina. I work with adult individuals and bring a friendly, easy-going approach and sense of acceptance and safety to the sessions. Clients I see are experiencing depression or anxiety and are looking to ease their symptoms. Other issues I commonly work with are emotional loneliness, self-esteem, navigating family dynamics, relationship issues, and impostor syndrome.

People who benefit from DBT often struggle with Borderline Personality Disorder, suicidal thoughts or suicidal behaviour, self-harm, intense negative emotions, impulsive behaviours, substance abuse, anger management, relationship difficulties, chronic feelings of emptiness, and eating disorders, among other possible problems. Our team is dedicated to helping clients who struggle with their emotions to achieve less suffering and greater peace, and to build the lives they want to live.

Some of us are born with really big emotions and they can be difficult to rein in. Being sensitive is a double-edged sword. It comes with an extraordinary capacity to be lively, connected with others, generate insights, and experience life with great intensity. However, without solid regulation skills, we can also suffer tremendously and get lost on our path. This might describe you or one (or more) of your children. It may feel like the relationships in your family are strained or chaotic – in a way that is hard to get out of. You are not alone!

When you spend a lot of time worrying, overthinking or dealing with overwhelming thoughts, it can feel unmanageable and impact your life in a negative way. You might be avoiding situations that make you worry or feel anxious, have a hard time sleeping, feel not good enough or do things in a certain way to keep the anxiety manageable in the moment. Therapy can help you learn ways to manage and cope with stress, worry, low self-confidence, overwhelming thoughts and OCD.

Summer walk & talk sessions now open on Sundays! Let's build resilience, motivation, self-esteem, and coping skills by unpacking your past experiences, examining current life factors, and finding a healthy path forward. Challenges like burnout, anxiety, family conflict, addiction, or legal issues can be deeply overwhelming and isolating. You don't have to do it alone.

It takes courage to be vulnerable and it can be uncomfortable to discuss your difficulties with a therapist. Whether you are dealing with overwhelming emotions, a new experience, or seeking meaningful change, I would be happy to help. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to create a warm and supportive atmosphere so that we can explore new insights in an open and non-judgmental space. Regardless of your reasons for coming to therapy, it is important for me that we work together to determine your goals and priorities. I offer evidence-based therapy to adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

Accepting new clients: Are you feeling anxiety in relationships? You don’t feel seen and heard. You’re stuck between different cultures, norms, and expectations. Unprocessed events and trauma can show up as overwhelm, depression, conflicts with others, lack of boundaries, codependency, and low self-confidence and self-esteem. This can include something that happened within a small circle such as family and romantic relationships or systemic trauma such as discrimination. In my therapy, I will help you connect with yourself better and make the changes you want in your life, to arrive at a peaceful place and live an authentic life.
