Therapists in Toronto, ON

Somatic-based trauma therapy, Relational Gestalt therapy, spiritual journeys, marriage, children, loss and grief. I’ve been around the block a few times and offer creative ways to help you explore how you keep yourself stuck, sad or overwhelmed and how you limit your growth.

I offer deeply compassionate client-centred services for adolescents and adults. I am trained in the evidence-based models of Psychodynamic, ACT, CBT, and Narrative therapy as well as the Creative Arts Therapies (Role theory, Psychodrama, Improv, etc.), and so interweave these modalities to best suit my client’s needs. My therapy approach goes beyond talk therapy, to also be embodied, creatively expressive, and somatically based. In this way emotions, memories, and presenting issues are explored and processed not only with words but with movement, metaphors, play, and body relaxation techniques.

Do you struggle to feel connected to your authentic self or make sense of who you are in the world? I have been there, too. Through my own life experiences, and from the work I've done with my courageous clients, I have an understanding of how psychological pain and distress impact every aspect of our daily lives, relationships and self-concept. While the effects of this distress often hold us back in our lives, it can also push us to get the help we need to better understand ourselves. If you are here, looking for those answers, you have already taken the hardest step.

My mission is helping people live less stressed lives. I will guide you in creating a healthier and happier lifestyle that brings you fulfillment, peace and joy. I work with stressed youth & adults, and with professionals who are experiencing burnout or compassion fatigue. Together we will work together to reduce sources of stress, identify triggers, and design personalized coping strategies. I am an in-demand stress-management speaker and author ('The Stress Management Workbook' & 'Everyday Stress Relief'), with dozens of media appearances, who has delivered stress management workshops to thousands of people across the globe.

Seeking help and finding the right therapist can be overwhelming especially if you are feeling out of balance, facing changes in relationships, managing symptoms of anxiety or depression, or if life has lost meaning for you. I work with clients to create strategies, develop tools, and uncover personal strengths that bring the healthy balance back into their lives. I bring a depth of experience from years of work in a tertiary mental health and addiction hospital in Toronto, Ontario. I am privileged to be a therapist. My clients describe me as "easy to connect, open, warm, genuine, real, and effective."

My name is Breanna and I believe that everyone deserves a safe space to work through life’s difficulties. I am a Registered Social Worker and I provide in-person and virtual therapy. I work with adolescents, and adults, who struggle with trauma-related experiences, anxiety, emotional regulation, difficult relationships, work life balance, disordered eating, body image and chronic pain/ injury. I’m a warm, open, and direct therapist, who values the importance of honesty in session. I am committed to creating a safe space where you can feel supported and heard.

Do you feel stuck in your anxious feelings? Perhaps you have intrusive thoughts or memories that are really bothering you. Maybe you have coping strategies that used to work in the past but are no longer as effective for you now. Is your anxiety also affecting your ability to be present and to function in the ways that you would like to in your relationships, work, or school life? If this is the case, do these issues then lead you to experiencing feelings of shame, wondering if there is something wrong with you, or questioning if things will ever get better?

Building a relationship with your therapist is the first step to lasting change. I have more than 30 years experience working with adults addressing a range of challenges including stress, anxiety, depression, loss, work, family and relationship issues. I encourage self-awareness, resilience and authenticity. You will be assured a safe space to tell your story and develop new insights and coping skills. Together we will work on ways to alleviate stress, address obstacles and build a greater sense of calm and confidence.

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). Are you overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, burnt out, or numb? Whatever your challenges are, I am here to help you process, understand, and overcome them so that you can live the meaningful, fulfilling life that you want.  Everyone comes to therapy for different reasons. I am here to work with you to overcome the challenges/difficulties you are facing by tailoring each session to serve your best interests. I want to walk with you on the journey to heal your pain, one day at a time. I want to make sure that you are able to do more than survive this time of life, I want you to be able to thrive!

I help clients by going deeper into their unique make-up. Not to judge, or pathologize but to understand, accept and create custom strategies to achieve their life goals, whatever they may be, without attempting to change who they are. The strategies developed are inclusive of any challenges clients bring: anxiety; depression; obsessive compulsive disorder; post-traumatic stress disorder; grief; and sexual identify. With the right support, none of these challenges prevents clients from setting and achieving significant goals on their path to creating a meaningful life.

I am passionate about working with adults of all ages struggling with a wide variety of mental health concerns and life stressors. Whether you’re coping with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship concerns, or career issues, I am confident that we can work together on your journey toward healing.
