Therapists in Toronto, ON

Accepting new clients online and in-person. Taking the first step is often the hardest, so I congratulate you for seeking a therapist! Using a trauma informed, strengths-based approach we can work together on your journey toward living a fulfilling life. I am passionate about helping my clients work through their trauma, anxiety, and depression, and learn new techniques that allow them to thrive despite their experiences.

Welcome! I'm Raei (ray) of Sunshine, Black-identified and African. As a client, you realize there is more to life and come ready to do the work of expanding into the Being you really are. As your Psychotherapist, I create a safe space to explore You whilst navigating challenges that impact your Mental Wellness such as, daily stressors, past and current traumas, habits and relationships that no longer serve your highest good, and anything else impressed upon you. I’ll meet you where you are at, and take you to where you want to be. (Mental Wellness; Black Community Mental Health; Law of Attraction; Mindfulness)

I really enjoy working with clients motivated for growth and change, and curious about themselves; what makes them "tick". The depth of my craft involves creating and holding a therapeutic space or "container", enabling my clients to turn inwards and discover what moves them unseen. Patterns in personality and emotion emerge into view; emotional processes become unstuck and able to flow through to resolution. An inner space opens for something new. It is a tremendous honour and privilege to accompany and serve people on this journey as a trusted ally, a witness, and expert midwife of psychological change.

Hello, my name is Debbie Papadakis. My goal is to empower you to unfold your inherent potential by accessing the subconscious mind using a combination of psychotherapy with hypnotherapy to help you live a healthy, wealthy, productive and happy life. For more than 25 years, I have worked with a wide variety of individuals, couples and groups from diverse backgrounds to help empower them to overcome limiting beliefs, unwanted behaviours, negative thoughts and emotions, addictions and/or afflictions, fears and phobias that were hindering them from achieving their goals, unleashing their full potential, and living in harmony.

Hello, I’m a Registered Social Worker (MSW) and Psychotherapist working virtually with clients in Ontario. I provide a safe and caring space to explore the struggles you are facing and guide you towards understanding, healing and overall balance in life. I work from an integrated, holistic approach. This means therapy is collaborative - you already have many strengths and inner wisdom; I shed light and guide you to identify how thought patterns, reactivity and perhaps old wounds keep you stuck. Through evidence-based, mind-body and spiritual approaches we work together so you can start to live with more balance, clarity and joy.

Talking things through and accountability have not been enough to sustain satisfaction in your life?   Let’s try something different! In our sessions everything deserves a place; emotions, thoughts, images, dreams, desires, impulses, stories, and sensations, they all belong. And all need to be acknowledged in order to generate real movements and shifts in our lives. Movements can happen externally as a physical release, internally as a new image of ourselves, or at a soul level shifting our dynamics with others, and the way we live.

I have a strong belief in your capacity to change. I’ve worked for over 25 years supporting people who are struggling from both physical and emotional pain. I help people find stability and reconnect with themselves, as they do the important work of reclaiming and changing their life for the better. If you have done "healing" work in the past and feel like it is time to tackle new challenges or wish to experience new and innovative therapy interventions, we might be a great fit.

In the fast-paced world we live in today, many of us are struggling to keep up. Feeling overwhelmed and disconnected has become an unfortunate norm. Depression, anxiety, relationship issues abound as we struggle to find a way through it all. It is vital to find the space and time to reconnect with ourselves, our families and the world around us. Therapy can help us to find our way back. My work is to help you to reconnect to yourself and those around you. I work with families, children, couples and individuals to build and repair connections.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, or overcome with grief? Maybe you are consumed by a chronic sense of dissatisfaction; or feeling distraught after a life-changing trauma. Whatever the trouble is, you do not need to face it alone. Therapy can be an effective way to rebuild your sense of well-being, improve your relationships, and increase your capacity to cope with all the unexpected things life brings. My practice is trauma-informed, relational and my approach is nonjudgemental, empathic and direct.

With over 23 years of experience, I'm a seasoned social worker and therapist. My role is to guide you on a transformative healing journey, offering support and tools. In my experience, the fastest path to peace and fulfillment involves learning to connect with yourself—your body, emotions, and mind. Cultivating a deeper connection within yourself facilitates the healing of past issues and empowers you to move forward with confidence in making decisions and achieving your goals. Collaboratively, we'll identify and address the obstacles that may be holding you back and practice new ways to enhance your well-being and feel better.

I specialize in a variety of mental health concerns including but not limited to anxiety, depression, OCD, self-development, relationship difficulties, divorce and unresolved caregiver relationships.

I counsel and support individuals, couples and families who feel stuck in life or who have mental health or marriage issues. Anxiety, depression, addiction and family issues are my main focus. My training in social work, addictions, family therapy and personal experience enables me to help families support each other. Mental health issues have been part of my life and our families. We know from experience what helps us recover.

Now accepting new clients! Let's get to the root of what you are experiencing. If you are feeling stuck, hurt, lonely, unsatisfied, or confused; you are not alone. I am here. Allow me to be an empathetic and transparent support for you. I offer a free, fifteen minute phone consultation for us to connect prior to our session.

I work from a model of health, balance and empathy by bringing into awareness the places where we get stuck and our unique ways of getting there. You know best when your patterns of coping are no longer working. A therapist's job is to support you in creating positive shifts in your life. This support may sometimes feel frustrating, especially when our familiar patterns of functioning are being challenged. I incorporate art, humour and paradox in sessions allowing for a creative, spontaneous exploration of your needs, contradictions and feelings and by providing a safe space where new possibilities and hope are possible.

Are you feeling disconnected and lacking intimacy in your relationship(s)? Are you feeling stuck in past hurts and betrayals including infidelity/cheating? Do you crave connection, understanding, intimacy and harmony in your relationships? Do arguments escalate quickly and leave you feeling unheard, misunderstood, and emotionally drained? Do small disagreements spiral into major battles, creating a toxic atmosphere in your relationship? As a relational therapist, I support couples and families navigating these common relationship difficulties and many more. A thriving and fulfilling relationship is within reach!

I believe therapy can be an insightful and empowering experience. You might be feeling unfulfilled in your relationships and wish for deeper connection and happiness. As a sensitive person, you feel things deeply and the weight of the world around you might feel heavy right now. You might be feeling burned out or not like yourself lately. I’m here to show you that support is within reach. You do not have to walk this path alone. As your therapist, I believe in your resilience. Working with me, you can expect a collaborative and compassionate approach to defining your therapeutic goals and building a plan towards a better future.

I offer personalized psychodynamic psychotherapy for adults and adolescents (11 to 18 years old). Psychodynamic psychotherapy is an approach focused on alleviating psychological distress and symptoms. Clients seek this form of therapy for a variety of reasons, often to overcome challenging emotions, behaviors, thoughts, or relationship issues. Central to my approach is a mindful and empathetic style of listening. Within our sessions, you'll be encouraged to engage in free association, a process of unrestricted self-expression.
