Therapists in West Toronto, Toronto, ON

I specialize in mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), mindful self-compassion (MSC), and mindfulness-informed end-of-life (MIEOL). These therapies provide tools that address stress,anxiety, life transitions, creativity, work-life balance, and emotional resilience. I offer online therapy across Ontario tailored to individual needs and situations.

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.

Hi! I'm Natasha Sharma: Therapist, TEDx Speaker, and CEO of NKS Therapy. Do you feel sad, stressed out, irritable or angry? Do you feel unable to let go of things that happened in the past, or worry constantly about the future? Are you experiencing distress, anxiety or depressed mood? As we have seen with the COVID-19 pandemic, life can be challenging. And unpredictable We can't always control it but we can control how we experience & respond to it. At my clinic NKS Therapy we provide you the tools to identify your emotions & get control over them. We offer expert counselling therapy for individuals, couples/marriage, & families.

Unfolding, experiencing and living our authentic selves is what I am passionate about. I am highly skilled in guiding clients in accessing and exploring obstacles that are results of our deeply rooted beliefs. Unquestioned beliefs or limiting thoughts that can manifest as anxiety, depression or other psycho-emotional difficulties can actually be guiding lights on our journey to our true Selves. The essence of our being remains untouched as we grow and is waiting to be found and reconnected with. When you connect on a deeper level with your Self, your purpose, gifts, and talents show in their fullness and potentials show up.

By understanding what lies deep within us, what motivates our behaviour, we come to know how to live more wisely and authentically. By giving ourselves the same kindness we give others and in listening to our embodied wisdom we discover fresh new possibilities.Therapy helps to manage anxiety, deal with emotions such as regret and shame, and dispel fear and worry. Without the veil of negativity and self-doubt we can make choices that lead to a more empowered future. If you find yourself feeling stuck, unhappy, confused or overwhelmed, entering into a psychotherapeutic relationship can help.

So often we want to feel better about ourselves and to enjoy our life more, but are not sure how to get there or we feel stuck. Life events and life transitions can be overwhelming and stressful, and it helps to have someone who will listen, provide compassion and support and suggest different coping strategies. The main focus in my practice is helping clients learn self-compassion and self-acceptance which I believe to be the foundation for change. My approach is gentle and supportive. I create a safe place for inner exploration, learning and healing.

I specialize in deep connection and communication that you can feel! I support you in your life purpose and full self expression of you and your gifts, self-worth, your voice, clarity of feelings, and movement forward. I help you explore a deeper understanding of yourself and your resourcefulness, to move towards a sense of relief, renewal, empowerment and joy. Discover and cultivate what brings you meaningful experience and deeper connection. I address your whole self: human, spirit, and animal. There is more energy and colour to your life. Not sure how to access it? Message me.

I believe in an empathic, collaborative approach, so that you may always be part of the therapeutic process. Psychotherapy allows for a unique relationship, whereby the focus of attention is on understanding you. It provides an opportunity for openness, trust and honesty, often difficult in other interpersonal situations. It can help you to increase your resilience to life challenges and improve relationships. I use a range of therapy modalities according to the best fit for your needs and personality. Greater meaning in life can be achieved by longer term therapy, but also brief periods of therapy which are cumulative.

I can help you make the changes within yourself and your life that you want to make, more easily and quickly than you would think. People find me easy to talk to, kind and insightful, in a way that helps you sort through and clarify your own thoughts and feelings, and find your way without imposing any particular direction. I can guide you through effective processes and techniques that really help, and teach you skills that you can use between sessions to help yourself and to move through your process more easily, and take with you as lifelong resources.

Emotional pain is an inherent part of the human experience, but you don’t have to go through it alone. In our sessions, we will work through your struggles and together create a clear path for you to feel in control and content with your life. You'll enter a non-judgmental space where you can truly be you, with the ability to express your innermost thoughts and feelings. I will meet you where you are in your journey with acceptance and compassion. I work with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, attachment issues and interpersonal concerns such as work, family, relationships and friendships.

I specialize in working with clients who feel stuck, depressed, or anxious. Perhaps you sense there is more to life, but are not sure how to access your potential. It may be that you are struggling with meeting your own needs due to focusing on others. You are ready to focus on your healing. I also work with couples, drawing on the Gottman method, as well as Emotionally Focused Therapy and mindfulness strategies. I see each person individually before we set out on our couples therapy journey together. I believe in the power of therapy to return couples to a place of love, support, and joy.

I help adults in their 20s-30s who want to feel happy again but are feeling stuck, lost, numb, or overwhelmed with life. My clients tell me that the pressure to choose the right degree, career, friends, or partner leads them to spiral into depression, anxiety, and other difficult feelings. They feel alone and misunderstood. They want to smile and feel like themself again, but don’t know how.

Even though you’ve set out on the path that you thought would lead to happiness, there still seems to be something missing. You thought you did everything right, but somehow, feel unfulfilled and frustrated, as you ask yourself, “Who am I?” or “What do I need?”. At home, with friends, or at work, you hold yourself back, believing that you don’t deserve to take up space. In your everyday life, you want to feel seen, heard, and understood, but don’t know where to turn. There’s a sense of disconnection keeping you from who you really are and how you’d like to show up in the world.

Maybe you have tried therapy in the past or explored different venues to overcome difficult situations, but you feel stuck! I have experience working with adults, children/adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief/loss, codependency tendencies, emotional/physical abuse, sexual abuse as well as life transition stressors. I also work with couples providing an active participation to identify their issue, focusing on change-oriented interventions guiding both to understand their individual roles and learn new harmonious strategies.

My ideal client is someone who is committed to self-development, getting to know themselves better, being honest with themselves about who they are, their challenges, their dreams. I guide clients to hear the voice of their true self so that they can live spaciously. I offer a client-centered approach honouring you for who you are, where you would like to go, what you would like to achieve at the pace of your own personal rhythm of growth and integration. If you would like to hear the voice of your own Heart, discover healing within you, please feel welcome to reach out.
