Family Therapists in Toronto, ON

It is my belief that for healing and growth to occur for someone seeking help, acceptance without judgement is crucial, recognizing and acknowledging the woundedness and unmet needs within the client. This perspective encompasses and acknowledges the entire person with whom I am working, including the physical, intellectual, emotional, interpersonal and spiritual well being of the client. No one seeking help is turned away due to the condition from which they are suffering. My goal for each client is to provide a safe, trusting space so that healing and growth can be experienced.

It takes courage and self-awareness to change our old coping mechanisms when life’s stressors become overwhelming. I want to assure you that by checking out what supports are available to you out there, you are taking your first step towards creating meaningful change. I am Mandy Fang, the founder of Hopewoods Psychotherapy and Consulting Services. My 15 years of experience working with adolescents, adults and families with complex needs, combined with my own personal struggles with infertility, provided me with a unique lens to view situations and comprehend the complex emotions behind human suffering.

I welcome individuals, couples and families who identify as heterosexual or LGBTQ+. In session, we focus on emotions and how to create safety, trust and confidence in your interactions with family members, significant others, colleagues and friends.

Having worked in mental health since 1979, I carry into my practice a deep compassion for the emotional struggles of others, a broad understanding of those struggles, and a wide and varied repertoire of therapeutic approaches. Whether you are struggling with personal, couple or family challenges, I am well equipped to help you. Depression, anxiety, grief, job stress, relationship struggles, separation and divorce, conflict resolution and extramarital affairs are only some of the issues in which I have expertise.

Many things affect us deeply in our busy lives.  Yet we find ourselves unable, unwilling, or reluctant to talk our issues through with family , friends or physician. Psychotherapy sessions with me by Zoom, are focused, strategic, and personalized to your needs. I have provided individual and family psychotherapy/counseling in Toronto for over twenty years. Book one session a series, or intermittently: yours to design. Everyone wants change, but how? I will listen to you.

As a therapist, I recognize that challenges and issues can be engaged within a container of safety, created by compassionate and empathetic therapeutic relationships. I am a firm believer that healing happens in the presence of such a connection. That the work of healing happens through reconciliation and through a reparative, restorative, and corrective experience. I integrate a biopsychosocial and holistic approach that is trauma-informed and nonjudgmental to respond to a diverse range of situations. These include, but are not limited to, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, addiction, trauma, and loss.

Sharing our stories with a new person takes a lot of courage. I will hold the space for you to feel safe. We will slow things down so that you can: gain a mindful awareness of your thoughts and feelings, understand where these negative beliefs and cycles are coming from & how they impact relationships, work toward healing the root of how these beliefs developed, & support you to move toward a greater sense of wholeness & love. I will support you to understand and notice your nervous system and physiology as it relates to your mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health, and how these are impacted by the systems we live in.
