Therapists in Toronto, ON

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and a Registered Midwife. I use my experiences and training to support adults struggling with depression and anxiety, relationship concerns, life transitions, trauma, grief, perinatal related issues and parenting struggles.

Feeling secure within ourselves is our birthright, but it’s often not what our experience tells us. Perhaps you find it difficult to trust others, or connecting in a meaningful, consistent way. You might be easily anxious, self-doubting and ruminating, frequently wondering how you’re being perceived. Or you find yourself distant, closed off, but craving safe connection. As a therapist for the past 9 years, I collaborate with reflective adults as they teach their nervous system new ways to feel embodied safety, so they can thrive with greater assurance, confidence and authenticity.

We are wired for growth and healing. But we need the right environment. We need to feel another's presence—warm, safe, genuine. As an INDIVIDUAL THERAPIST I have been helping people for many years to transform, to become their authentic selves. My work is informed by AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), an attachment model that focuses on hope and possibility.

Alli is a registered psychotherapist and registered social worker who believes that meaningful therapy is a creative process that is holistic by nature. Alli’s focus when working together is to help you develop a connected and insightful view of your Self and to help you lead a more connected and meaningful life. Often this is rooted in improving the relationship you have with your Self and others. There are countless ways in which humans can strengthen their connection with themselves and others, and it is this creative focus that is required to heal from the past and to choose what lies ahead for you.

I am a registered 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.

Our environments - current, historical, and structural - shape who we are and the stories we tell ourselves. Challenging relationships, unsupportive environments, along with life transitions and stressors can impact your sense of self, how you view the world, and the path you walk. To those around us, this may present as anxiety, low mood, lack of motivation, anger/irritability, isolation from people and activities of interest. Within ourselves, this may present as feelings of stress, shame, guilt, and resentment towards the stories that make up our life thus far.

Every client has the capacity to experience change in their lives. As we navigate the ups and downs of life, we can find ourselves feeling stuck and unsure which direction to take. I encourage clients to draw from their strengths as a source of empowerment and resilience. I encourage curiosity, vulnerability and self-compassion. Trust and respect are important in the therapeutic process and I welcome all parts of self clients wish to give a voice to during our time together.

Welcome! I'm a registered social worker offering online psychotherapy across BC and Ontario. Specializing in trauma-focused therapy, I provide a supportive space for BIPOC, Queer, and Neurodiverse folks, but my door is open to all who connect with my values. My approach acknowledges the profound impacts of trauma and systemic injustice, while also valuing the richness and complexity of our experiences that exist alongside suffering. I aim to nurture a space where we address the pain of trauma and oppression, and actively reclaim the immense potential for joy, pleasure, beauty, and fulfillment in your life.

We are all wired for growth and healing, and have a deep desire to be seen and known. Sometimes, what we encounter in life overwhelms us and we are unable to flourish, or even cope. Through the experience of feeling safe and supported, crisis and suffering provide opportunities to awaken extraordinary capacities within us that may otherwise remain inaccessible. Together we can address a variety of difficulties that may contribute to your sense of feeling overwhelmed, stuck and unable to move forward in life. Whatever challenges bring you here, I commit to supporting your inherent capacity to heal and to thrive.

As you go along in life, do you find yourself switching between different moods and hijacked by so many contradictory feelings and impulses that feel out of your control or conscious awareness? You may wish to live life more fully and meaningfully while you find yourself inhibited or limited with struggles between your wish for involvement in ordinary life and fear of leaving the house, mistrust of relationships, or hopelessness about future. In dealing with these personal challenges, you may feel flooded and severely anxious or in trying to disconnect or deny these responses, may feel chronically depressed and alienated from self.

I am here to provide you with a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore your innermost thoughts and feelings. Together, we can work towards helping you embrace self-compassion, set healthy boundaries, and rediscover your worth.

As a queer woman with lived experience navigating mental health support, I know how transformative the therapy process can be when someone feels seen and empowered. I understand that feeling when something is off, when we aren’t fully in alignment with ourselves and how those feelings can impact the way that we show up in our lives. You may find yourself reacting in ways that don’t feel like you or find yourself having anxious thoughts or feeling like you’re stuck in patterns that aren’t serving you. I help young professionals on their journey to living a life where they feel supported, confident, and in alignment with their values.

Are you looking to feel more comfortable in your life? Do you notice that you are compelled to continue showing up in a certain way: perfectionistic, people pleasing, avoiding vulnerability, defensive, critical, worrying, withdrawn, down, anxious or burnt-out?

Hi, I'm Audette! I work with individuals that are dealing with the challenges of life the best way they know how. Perhaps you're turning to food for comfort, cycling between bingeing and purging, or exercising beyond your limits. Maybe you're pushing your feelings down. It seems like the better option, and yet you're constantly exhausted and overwhelmed. On some level this works, but deep down, there's a part of you that wonders, is this it? Is there another way?

Through collaborative efforts, you’ll discover the support and guidance necessary to heal, grow, and confidently embrace life’s challenges.
