Gestalt Therapists in Toronto, ON
I've worn several hats within the mental health field - I graduated from medical school, I've worked in suicide prevention in several roles including staff wellness and I'm in my last year of Gestalt psychotherapy training.
I bring a deep understanding of the difficulties in family relationships and come from an Indo-Caribbean background. I can help you with managing intergenerational conflicts and helping you find and value your own individual voice. I also have experience in the post partum journey, the challenges of being a new mom, burnout in competitive career paths and suicide prevention.

Relational Embodied Gestalt, Mindfulness, Client-Centred.
Do you want to try something different which will challenge you and direct your awareness to how you are living your life? Awareness is the first step in making any change. Awareness gives you a choice: do I keep doing what I have been doing or do I want to "try on" a new behaviour and see what changes? Together we will work through issues which are interfering with your ability to live your life fully in the here and now.

I was trained at the Gestalt Institute of Toronto.
Life transitions are not always smooth and easy, they can often be accompanied by feelings of isolation and anxiety. We are often left to navigate transitions without support and this can diminish our sense of belonging in the world. Reaching out for support and breaking our isolation is a crucial first step in the healing process. Our culture can lead us to believe that self sufficiency and independence are prized qualities, however the deeper truth is we are interdependent beings. Lasting change only happens in relation to the other. Therapy provides the support and ground to explore what is possible even in the midst of your pain

Hello my name is Allan and I practice gestalt therapy.
In our sessions we are focused on awareness building. With the idea that a greater understanding and feeling of what's already happening will give you the energy and understanding to respond more freely to your situation.

I am a Gestalt Therapist, musician and teacher.
My approach is relational, embodied/experiential, creative, and attuned. My personal and professional life has offered me extensive experience in a wide range of somatic, expressive, improvisational arts based modalities which support my therapeutic practice. I have also worked 25+ years with kids and youth through arts, and in elder care.

I work with individuals and couples from a relational/ gestalt background.
If you are struggling with a particular issue, feeling lost in a relationship; intimate or professional, worrying and lacking the motivation to put ideas/thoughts into action, or just generally feeling stuck, I'm glad you are here. Life is complex and doesn't come with clear and definitive guidelines. No wonder we can feel overwhelmed! Sometimes it can just feel like it too much to manage alone. Working in a therapeutic relationship where you are the focus can help you find ways to learn, grow, and heal.

Working creatively within a Gestalt framework, I pay attention to not only what is spoken aloud but also to how it is communicated as well as to what is left unsaid.
I take my lead from you, providing a safe space for you to bring your whole self to the therapeutic relationship. Together we can bring awareness to that which could be keeping you from the most authentic expression of yourself.

I practice somatic, relational Gestalt Therapy.
Are you struggling with being human in our modern world? If you've found your way here, it's likely that you're feeling uncomfortable and stuck and that you're getting ready to do something about it... even if it's terrifying.
You sense there's something more to you than what you've experienced thus far, and the way forward is muddied.
I imagine that whatever brings you here, you're wanting wellness on your terms.
I'm here to support you in exploring new levels of depth and truth. Together we'll create space where you can come to know and heed your own heart, alone and in the presence of others.

I was trained in Gestalt therapy, so my approach involves providing a space that supports expanded awareness and authentic contact.
In addition to my experience working with self-esteem issues and attachment patterns, I have about 8 years experience with a daily meditation practice. It's helped me be more compassionate with myself and the world, and also feel more at home here. Teaching mindfulness is a passion of mine and something I love introducing to clients if they have the interest

With a foundation rooted in Relational Gestalt psychotherapy, my role as an enlightened witness supports you as you feel your feelings, strive to make sense of how you approach the world around you, and proceed on your healing journey.
My 13 years' experience using inner child work, researching, and supporting fellow adopted persons and mothers of adoption loss has given me a unique insight into the struggles of adoption, the Primal Wound, reunion, reunion preparation, and the impact of early childhood traumas.

The modalities I use include IFS, talk therapy, somatic experiencing, Enneagram, Gestalt exercises, psychodynamic psychoanalysis, guided meditation/mindfulness, inner-child and energy work.
I work with adults who want more freedom from negative patterns and insight about the root of reactivity. They want to experience calm and peace. They want help with healthy boundaries, anxiety, self-worth, depression, life direction, co-dependency, communication, addiction, relationships (with self, the Divine, life partner, ex-partner, children, family, co-workers), emotional regulation, grief, loss/divorce, chronic pain, parenting, spiritual growth and psychedelic integration. Carrying the past makes current life difficult. Helping clients accept the past, learn from it and then let it go is what I love doing best.

" This allows me to create a fully personalized approach, drawing on techniques from CBT, Gestalt, NLP, and positive psychology—tailored to your way of thinking and specific needs.
As you learn to manage these situations, you'll realize you can take control of any aspect of your life that you choose. I believe that all behavior serves a positive purpose, even when it seems unhelpful. Trance is a natural state we enter daily—whether we're lost in thought or focused on a task.
