Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Therapists in Toronto, ON

Sometimes we feel sadness and worry that we cannot seem to shake. At these times, we feel hopeless and helpless and believe that we have nowhere and no one to turn to. Dealing with these feelings alone can be overwhelming and unbearable. When we find ourselves at this low point, the only way to go is up. I am here to help you to reach that up point, and have a happier life. I am committed to reducing the suffering and distress associated with psychological trauma, anxiety disorders, depression, grief and loss, adjustment difficulties, and self-esteem issues.

Are you tired of feeling like you aren’t yourself? Are you exhausted of feeling disconnected and lost? Do you want clarity on who you are, what your goals are, and how to embark on your healing journey? I support young professionals break the cycle of disconnection, exhaustion, and loneliness while connecting to their authentic self. I specialize in supporting the BIPOC community, particularly individuals with histories of trauma, depression, and anxiety. My approach to therapy is strength-based, culturally inclusive, and trauma-focused. I believe in collaborative, transparent, anti-racist and anti-oppressive care.

As a psychologist, I work with change. Change may involve shifts in awareness, attitude, behaviour, goals, acceptance, or coping strategies that will enhance your quality of life and well-being. Many obstacles can prevent us from living a satisfying life. These could be a history of trauma, invalidating relationships, habits that no longer serve us, or environments that may hinder our psychological growth. I can help you identify obstacles to your quality of life, develop strategies to tackle them, and set goals to increase and maintain your well-being.

With a unique background in business, coaching, and psychology, I support professionals and executives and help them thrive and succeed in their careers, work, and personal lives. In collaborating together, we may focus on various areas, including career transitions, leadership development, interpersonal relationships, stress management, and other workplace-related issues -- or simply to identify and tap into their full potential to realize desired goals. Our work generally results in deeper insights into themselves with more expansive perspectives of the world. This empowers clients to move forward with more meaning and purpose.

My name is Rachael, and I am an Intern/Student Psychotherapist and Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I am currently pursuing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University and completing my practicum placement at One Peace Therapy under the supervision of Michèle Mani. When faced with challenging emotions, spiralling thoughts, or adverse events, it can make finding a way out seem impossible. Finding moments of light, reflecting on experiences, and deepening self-awareness can help us identify and define our preferred paths.

Stressed?? Anxious?? Depressed?? Are you struggling to find the right therapist? Feeling lost? All first sessions are FREE with no obligations. WHY? I am passionate about creating opportunities for healing centered around your unique needs! My personal philosophy is radical acceptance. I believe that most coping strategies (from perfectionism to addictions) actually enable survival to one's best ability. Reflect on how your personal coping methods enabled you to survive until this moment! I believe in honouring old patterns with awareness. We must recognize and accept what is holding us back in order to change it.

With 20 years as a therapist, my focus has been working with individuals struggling with a range of mental health and relationship concerns. My therapy approach is collaborative, respectful and client-centred, with the intention of providing a space that is safe and non-judgmental while cultivating acceptance and self-compassion. I have worked in multiple settings and with various populations. However, the bulk of my clinical experience has been working in outpatient mental health in hospitals. I have also held an appointment as Adjunct Lecturer - Factor Inwentash School Of Social Work, University of Toronto.

Through a strong empathic connection, we will work to help you reach your goals. My hope is that our therapeutic process will give you tangible skills and result in concrete improvements in your life. I believe you know what is most important and through working together, you will build a path that is right for you. “Fit” is also critical for our work together, so I offer a free phone consultation to help you determine if I would be the right fit for you. Initial consultations can be booked by email or directly through my website link.

Please send me an email at gracenobleza03 at gmail.com if you are looking for a safe, confidential and non-judgmental setting to find direction and hope for yourself or your family. Within my professional practice, my client feels heard, understood and empowered to find healing and balance in their lives. Clients can find a space to relax the 'busy mind' without feeling guilty. I work with children (age 12+), teens, young adults, working professionals and seniors who are dealing with various mental health or relational issues.

I became a therapist because of my own personal experiences with depression, anxiety, struggles with relationships, and insomnia. I am able to offer a unique perspective of someone who has been both patient and therapist.

It takes courage and insight to ask for help! If you are a student or international student who is frustrated, challenged with schedules and deadlines, maybe have learning disabilities, struggle with priorities, need help navigating school, educators, schedules, and relationships - I am here to help! I am an immigrant and worked with college/university students as a faculty, clinical educator, and program coordinator. Coaching, culturally sensitive, and using strength-based counseling coupled with CBT and mindfulness I can help to get passed the frustration, struggles, and how going to school can be done with ease and enjoyment!

I use a client centered approach in order to meet the specific and unique needs of the individuals I am working with. This forms the foundation of my clinical work and is enhanced by the use of cognitive , psycho-dynamic and strength based therapies. I am goal directed and believe that people have the ability to solve their own problems. Therapy is simply a means to realize the potential for change that exists in all of us.

My focus when working with clients is to make sure the client is in the drivers seat, because you are the expert on your own life. My clientele face a wide array of challenges including but not limited to: depression, anxiety, trauma, psychosis, and parenting challenges. Some clients I meet with are seeking to build better relationships, with themselves and/or with others. Some clients have specific goals related to past trauma, relationships, anxiety, and/or depression, while some clients are seeking to generally feel better about their lives.

I have extensive experience working with adolescent, adult, and senior populations transitioning through life stages. I support clients experiencing a range of mental health challenges as I provide a unique perspective on coping, relationships, and resiliency. Using a realistic and client-centered approach, I help my clients overcome obstacles and rewrite their own narratives.
