Dissociative Disorders (DID) Therapists in Toronto, ON
My name is Cait (she/they) and I am a registered social worker. I work with clients from where they are at, working collaboratively to figure out what challenges you, what you want to process and learn from. I am not here to tell you what to do, but to support in figuring out next steps, skills and processing trauma and life events. I work with clients to figure out what they need, their values, their identity and their boundaries. I work extensively with clients who are neurodivergent and/or have Bipolar Disorder or Borderline Personality Disorder, although I have experience with many mental health challenges.

It's undeniable that life is hard. It's filled with difficulties that we don't always know how to navigate and that make us feel stuck. Another undeniable truth is that there's help / support along the way, and it's possible to feel unstuck. I view therapy as a journey helping you find healing and solutions to your struggles within yourself. My mission as a therapist is to help Black / racialized people navigate life's challenges and uncertainties with more understanding, acceptance, flexibility, and resilience—whether you're dealing with family, romantic relationships, work/school, friendships, or your relationship with yourself.

It takes courage to engage in therapy. Doing so reflects an interest in self-awareness and the desire to thrive, not just survive. It is an act of self-compassion. For the past 20 years, I have worked in an inner-city hospital in Toronto, with the last 13 years focused solely on providing individual psychotherapy and group facilitation in trauma and mindfulness. I work with a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, PTSD/childhood trauma, emotional dysregulation, DID, self-harm, suicidality, substance use and relationship issues.

Hey! I am Aleef. I have a deep understanding of intrusive thoughts/Pure-OCD, breakups, depression, OCD, death anxiety not just because I learned about them in some textbook when I went to psychotherapy school but because I have experienced these things in my own life.

We operate on the philosophy that "storms make trees take deeper roots." Why? Because we can recognize that no matter your experience, our pasts can greatly impact our present. Trauma-informed therapy focuses on the survivor, which includes understanding how adverse experiences shape who we are, how we interact, and our perspectives of the world around us. At True Roots Therapy, we believe that true healing begins at the root. Our practice is dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families uncover the foundational sources of their struggles, explore their deepest challenges, and foster meaningful personal growth.

I delight in the uniqueness and complexity of each individual. Holding space for personal work, reflection and deepening of awareness is a gift and honor that I hold dear. I feel it's important to make room for the unfolding intentionality of each person through body mind heart and soul. I tend to support experiences around development, grief, queerness, sexuality and spirituality with great tenderness. I look forward to learning from the people who I meet in my practice as I adapt to how they experience being supported.

Do you find yourself asking, "How do I get past this?" The number one struggle people often express when they talk about their emotional pain is feeling stuck. If you are experiencing an inability to move forward in your career, relationship or you are struggling to find the joy in life you once felt, you may be experiencing the effects of unresolved trauma or unmet attachment needs. This can manifest in physical symptoms such as chronic pain, headaches, and fatigue. We take the time to understand you as a person who has a lived experience that has brought you here.

People who reach out to me are often navigating addiction, substance use, habits, or patterns of adaptive attachment that once helped them cope but now feel exhausting, limiting, or misaligned with their values. They may be a student, professional, or adult under long term pressure, experiencing anxiety, burnout, mood shifts, ADHD, or emotional regulation challenges. Often they feel stuck in a single story about themselves, framed as failure or lack of willpower. They want understanding, relief, and practical change without shame, judgment, or being pushed faster than they are ready for.

You survived things that were never supposed to be yours to carry. Perhaps the past keeps showing up in your relationships, your body, or the way you see yourself, and you're ready to understand why while beginning to heal.
Reach out for a 15-minute consultation. The first step is usually the hardest.
In our first session, we'll talk about what brings you here and what you're hoping for. There is no pressure to share more than what feels right. My role is to create a space where you can move at your own pace - whether that's talking, using creative tools, or simply sitting with what's present for you.

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.

Together we explore where struggles come from and how they shape your experience, with the goal of helping you regain freedom, confidence, and direction.
