Halle Sailer is a licensed registered psychotherapist in Ontario and a licensed medical doctor in Germany who works with children, adolescents and adults in one-on-one sessions or in the group settings.

I work with adults who are feeling stressed: they may worry, panic or feel shy in social situations, may try to be perfect, may feel badly about themselves, or wish to express themselves more effectively, or to set clearer boundaries with others, or to be more assertive. I also work with people from the straight and LGBTQ communities who are experiencing challenges in their relationships, with sexuality, sexual orientation, alternative relationships, alternative sexualities, and gender. Many experience these challenges, but some may lose a sense of balance in their lives or the ability to enjoy life and relationships while trying to sort out their concerns.

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.

I offer individual therapy to adults (18+) who are interested in exploring the complexities of their past in order to understand who they are today. This work is connected to understanding the relationships around us, our grief, and our identities. We will also explore behaviours that may be getting in the way of leading the life you want, for example, confusion about identity, self harm, suicidal ideation/behaviours and relationship patterns. I welcome people from various social locations, including from the queer/trans community, and offer a sex-positive, Anti-Racist and Anti-Oppressive space.

We are a collaborative group of experienced Psychotherapists who have been working together for years. We strive to facilitate change, resilience, well-being, confidence and increased satisfaction in clients' personal lives and relationships. We have developed a wide range of skills, as well as personal experiences which inform and enrich the work that we do. We are client focused and reflective, but we are comfortable with practical strategies and skills in helping people maintain integrity, healthier relationships and more satisfying lives. We are sensitive to differences, cultures, and personal stories. Our office is in mid town Toronto, accessible by subway.

For the past 12 years I have worked with youth and their families who are struggling with a variety of mental health issues or relationship difficulties. Often the clients I support are families who are experiencing conflict and whose members are feeling disconnected or teenagers and young adults who are struggling with intense emotions and are engaging in behaviours that are concerning to themselves or their caregivers. I work well with people who are interested in transforming themselves and their relationships rather than those who are focused on symptom reduction alone. I work with adults who have experienced childhood trauma.

My empathic, non-judgmental approach to clients seeking support for a broad range of difficulties has lead to effective therapeutic partnerships for over twenty years. I have extensive experience conducting assessments and providing personalized therapy for individuals, couples, families and groups dealing with complex difficulties.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I'm trained to provide professional and ethical treatment services to adults for a range of mental health concerns and everyday problems. I aim to help my clients resolve symptoms, but also to improve their sense of wellbeing and happiness and help develop strategies to manage future challenges that might arise. I take a collaborative approach to therapy and work with my clients to set treatment goals and develop a plan to address them.

There are times we may feel that we are losing hope, lacking resilience, overwhelmed by our feelings, or unsure which step to take next. It can take courage to reach out for help and open up to another person. My role as a social worker and psychotherapist is to meet you where you are and guide you through this process. I offer individual and family therapy and work with children, adolescents, and adults . My clients seek support in many areas including anxiety, depression, emotion regulation, self-esteem, parenting, and more. I also offer individual and group clinical supervision. My practice is collaborative and all are welcome.

Now welcoming new clients! With over 17 years experience, I work collaboratively with teens (12-18), adults , and families to find hope and regain balance. Perhaps you've suffered great loss or you're wanting more from your relationships. Maybe you're re-evaluating your life and are on the brink of a major transition. Or you're worried about your teen and the direction they're headed. A lot of us get weighed down by one thing after another. Whatever it is, if you're feeling unsure or unsettled and you're seeking a greater sense of ease, allow me to support you.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist dedicated to helping people achieve more satisfying relationships, an improved work life, greater self-esteem, and more fulfilling lives. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, experiencing difficulty in your relationships, feeling stuck on the past, or struggling with life transitions, I can help you to navigate life's challenges with enhanced mindfulness and awareness, and with increased competence and confidence.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP), a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC), and a Certified EEG Biofeedback practitioner (BCN, EEG) with over 10 years of clinical experience in a clinical setting. I offer counselling services to adolescents and adults in both English and Tamil. My areas of specialty include utilizing biofeedback technique in conjunction with traditional counselling methods. I believe adding biofeedback intervention as a tool with other psychotherapy models has the potential to transform counselling or therapy, particularly for the treatment of stress and anxiety.

Dr. Marie Faaborg-Andersen is a registered clinical psychologist who provides assessment and treatment to adults and couples with a wide range of presenting concerns. She is an experienced clinician who specializes in working with both individuals and couples with issues related to anxiety, low mood, perinatal concerns, sexual dysfunctions, and relationship concerns.

I have extensive experience working with individuals across the lifespan who are experiencing mood and anxiety concerns, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), interpersonal difficulties, learning issues, and executive dysfunction. I have a special interest in working with parents, particularly new parents, as they navigate the joys and challenges of parenthood.

Life can be challenging, whether we are young or old, alone or in relationship with others. With over 30 years of experience working with children, youth, adults and families in a variety of settings, I have learned that we can face and overcome many of life's challenges by recognizing our strengths, understanding our fears, enhancing our relationships and learning new skills and knowledge to manage the struggles we are facing. Therapy can be a daunting first step and yet a part of what may be a transformative journey.

To grow and to heal. This is a choice we can make. If you are reading this, you have already taken a step in that direction. Perhaps you are wondering if therapy can help you take some more steps. These steps can be in many directions – doing better, achieving goals, reducing distress, managing difficult emotions, understanding unhelpful patterns, dealing with relationship issues, coming to terms with the issues of the past, or seeking answers to life’s challenging questions. We arrive in therapy with our own unique expectations. My goal is to help you take the steps towards meeting those expectations.

I work best with those who have ongoing anxiety symptoms, racing thoughts, or symptoms from past trauma. While I have a focus in working with children, teens and young adults , I offer individual, couple, and family counselling. Navigating complex life issues can be challenging, and it’s even harder when it impacts other areas of our lives such as our loved ones and family. Past and on-going trauma can have devastating impact in many different ways. I provide a safe place to process various emotional and mental struggles and work with people to find ways to cope and manage these life stressors.

I help adults struggling in relationships overcome their worries and anxiety so that they can have deeper, more authentic and connected relationships. It can be frightening and frustrating to try to deal with the struggles of anxiety and worry in relationships on your own and without guidance to help you cope with these uncomfortable feelings. By creating a safe environment to explore and understand one's underlying feelings, one creates more freedom and choice in how to respond in a relationship as opposed to repeating old painful patterns and reactions, which can leave one feeling more disconnected and alienated.

Are the many demands of life weighing you down and making you feel burnt out? Do you feel anxious or depressed or stuck so that it’s hard to progress in life? Together, through therapy, we can explore finding a new balance, we can challenge negative thinking and identify unhelpful patterns. We can also learn effective ways of coping. Imagine being able to gain control over overwhelming emotions, move forward in life and improve your relationships? While nothing can guarantee that you will be rid of your anxiety entirely or never feel sad again, you will learn to be more resilient in the face of hardship and enjoy life more.
