Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in West Toronto, Toronto, ON

I work with clients to identify concerns relating to histories of trauma, symptoms related to mental health concerns, relationship issues, self-esteem, stress and anxiety, depression, concerns related to sexuality, gender, and sexual orientation.

I work adult clients ranging in age from their 20s to 100s. I provide one-on-one counselling to clients working toward achieving personal wellness across a wide spectrum of concerns including those coping with anxiety, significant life changes, stress management & relationship concerns. I also offer system navigation and resource counselling for seniors, their caregivers and family members. The goal of this part of my practice is to link people to the right resources for them and help them better understand the complex healthcare system.

Life can feel overwhelming at times.

Mindfulness teaches us how to relate to ourselves with kindness. I understand how the struggle to avoid or control difficult experiences can leave you feeling like your own worst enemy. Mindfulness is a different strategy. It's about learning to feel at home in our own bodies and our minds - even in times of trouble. My work is grounded in my own personal practice: a 20 year meditator with 14 years as a mindfulness educator, I'm a graduate of a Buddhist seminary with a master's degree in Counselling psychology and specialized training in working with trauma and abuse.

Hello there, I’m Amy. I'm a therapist who is passionate about holding space for transformational experiences. I primarily support the Toronto/GTA community & Northern Ontario (Sudbury & surrounding communities). Recognizing that we all have different financial circumstances, I encourage clients to determine the rate per session that works for them (between $100 - $140).

Everyone processes emotions in a different way. Life can get messy, with ups, downs, and unpredictable moments. Understanding these emotions doesn't have to be something you do alone. In studying the brain and how we make meaning of our environments, it's clear our brains like patterns. However, these patterns can at times develop into something that feels uncomfortable and unwanted (i.e. anxiety, depression) and may cause challenges for us day-to-day. By bringing awareness to our body, thoughts, emotions, and spirit/connection we can help our bodies regulate our nervous system responses.

I specialize in working with people on workplace and career related mental health issues. Workplace issues as well as messages we receive from society / culture can result in: Self-doubt, anxiety, stress, depression, trouble setting boundaries, burn-out, mind-body disconnection, lack of self-confidence, guilt with self-care & more. I have supported many people on their journeys of reconnecting to their true self. Many report feeling more empowered to make choices in their relationships and careers that align with their core values and inner wisdom. If this resonates with you, I would be happy to connect.

True healing is the return of body, mind, and emotion to balance. It is the spiritual restoration of wholeness to all parts of the Being. Recovery is a personal journey of self-discovery and regaining control of your path to wellness. This journey will involve learning from challenges and developing self-awareness about strengths and passions in order to develop meaningful goals related to your purposeful life.

You are an Adult struggling with ADHD or Autism. You may be newly diagnosed and trying to understand your life through this lens. You may have problems with anxiety, OCD, compulsive behaviors (alcohol, substances, sex). You may have grown-up in a family that didn't fully support your emotional needs or understood your Neurodivergency. Your relationships may be strained. Perhaps your people believe you could use some help. I have been there and I have the training to support you towards a happier life. I work with mindfulness , with harm reduction or secular abstinence-based addiction recovery models and with psychedelic medicines.

I believe that everyone is always doing the best they can to live a happy and fulfilling life, and sometimes we just get stuck. If you find that your good habits have gone out the window, you are more stressed than usual, or that you are lacking in motivation, focus, or energy, you are not alone. Compassionate support can help you to move through a period of difficulty and offer tools to help you achieve your goals, and be the person you want to be. As an Occupational Therapist, I am interested in helping you to find ways to participate in the activities of life that are most meaningful to you.

Accepting NEW clients. Welcome! I offer individual and couples talk therapy to adults, bringing warmth, empathy and patience into each interaction. My aim is to make therapy a safe, comfortable and non-judgmental space where the healing process can take place. I practice through a strengths-based lens, tailoring my approach to fit each individual's diverse background. I integrate various evidence-based treatments to support my patients in developing better self-awareness, feeling “unstuck” and learning new skills (e.g. cognitive behavioural therapy, emotional focused therapy, attachment theory and mindfulness techniques).

I am a registered Psychotherapist with a MA in Psychology from McGill University. All of my services are directly supervised by a registered Psychologist who is an ongoing source of clinical guidance and feedback in my work. Research in the area of 'common factors' emphasizes the client-therapist relationship and factors that are unique to you and your life circumstances as important predictors for therapy success, and it informs my approach to support you in creating positive change. I meet clients non-judgmentally, and my approach is uniquely dynamic, collaborative, and solution-focused, with therapeutic presence and authenticity.

If you work with me, you will find that I am warm, receptive, and engaging. I will offer practical tools and new ways of thinking that you can use right away to cope with the present and make plans for the future. In therapy with me you will increase your ability to feel and regulate your emotions and learn to recognize and disengage from harmful ways of thinking and acting that may be getting in the way of you feeling agency, choice, and engagement in your life.
