Therapists in Toronto, ON

I lost 100lbs and currently kept it off for eight years (I started August 15, 2012). I remember at my heaviest weight, I wanted to talk to someone who had been there, done that & understood I so badly wanted to change and my frustration at not changing. I wanted someone who could quiet my mind when it worried about my weight and help me gain control of my body and life. I know what it's like to start losing weight, only to abandon the effort shortly thereafter. If you repeat that pattern and put your health and quality of life at risk, then you likely feel that there are issues that need to be addressed psychologically - I can help!

Welcome! Thank you for discovering my website. I am honoured that you have included me in your search. Many of us first come to therapy feeling alone and overwhelmed with one or many dimensions of our life. Feelings of isolation or a sense of emptiness might be encroaching upon us. We are looking for a way to feel more real and engaged with the world and yet everything about us is seized up. I offer expert assistance to individuals and couples with an intention to enrich and transform the relationships in their lives. This includes the relationship with oneself, with significant others, with family and with communities.

Somatic-based trauma therapy, Relational Gestalt therapy, spiritual journeys, marriage, children, loss and grief. I’ve been around the block a few times and offer creative ways to help you explore how you keep yourself stuck, sad or overwhelmed and how you limit your growth.

I offer individual and couple clients a compassionate, caring and confidential therapeutic relationship. Together, we'll identify your treatment goals based on your needs and concerns, and I will use the most effective, leading-edge scientific evidence-based treatment strategies to help you to achieve your goals.

Hello! I am here to help. We live in diverse communities, and I deeply understand the challenges of racialized trauma, racism, immigrant families, challenging partnerships, and trying to belong. Whether you are struggling to see eye-to-eye with your family, partner, recovering from past trauma wounds, or trying to find purpose in an ever growing complex and diverse landscape, I am here to support you with authenticity, compassion and a grounded presence. I believe therapy can be a place to be seen, understood, and the experimental lab where we can co-create new paths forward. I hope you will take a moment to see how I can help.

Asking for help can be overwhelming because you are not sure of where to start. Furthermore, it is hard to find the ideal listener, cause you are troubled by the fear of rejection. Don't give up! If you are reading this, you have already made the first step! I value client's present-day experience and their struggles in reconciling their identity with their desired self. Step by step, the clients acknowledge their strengths and work on creating and maintaining healthy relationships. Let's get you further by having a FREE 30-min introduction, to support you towards this first step and help you find the right fit!

I believe that we all experience brokenness. I believe in the power of being heard with compassion and empathy. I believe that we can learn how to be kind with ourselves when we experience kindness. You might be thinking about therapy because you want to work through a problem that persists in your life, to make a big choice, take a new step, sort through a past experience, or you simply want to feel better. Whatever brought you here there is nothing too big or too small to bring into our therapeutic space. This is your time.

We are an online counselling agency so do not provide services in person. Strength Counselling Services has licensed, experienced therapists who use evidence-based practices, prioritize client needs, and maintain ethical standards. We offer culturally sensitive, affordable services in a supportive environment. We offer a comprehensive goals assessment, regularly assess progress, and collaborate with other professionals. We provide transparency in our fees and for thirteen years now have held a positive reputation of trust, and client success. Lastly, ensuring our clients' privacy and confidentiality are of utmost importance to us.

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.

I help people reclaim their truest, most authentic selves. I work with people with: mental health issues/ mental illness, sex and intimacy struggles, lack of boundaries, trauma, grief and bereavement, low self-esteem and lack of self love, suicidal ideation, anger management, and more. I am happy to work with clients who are committed to the healing process; who show up consistently, who are willing to put in the work, are honest with both themselves and myself, and are open-minded to try alternative tools and techniques.

Finding the right therapist can be time-consuming, emotionally exhausting and expensive. For this reason, I offer a complimentary full-length introductory session. I have experience with youth and adults navigating struggles with self-esteem, depression, early childhood or other trauma, disordered eating, relationship issues, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, gender & sexuality inquiry, and existential anxiety. Clients appreciate my precision, as well as my gentle but directive approach to therapy. Mindfulness and meditation inform my practice and I am available, if you wish, to support you to explore this part of yourself.

In psychotherapy, as in life, we grow through relationship. Our sense of self emerges in meeting the other. I offer a safe and stimulating environment in which to experience your patterns of relating, explore how you make meaning, and experiment with new ways of being.

As we go through difficult experiences, I believe that there is comfort in not being alone. I believe that a connection with another person can provide an opportunity to feel safe as we explore unknown parts of our lives. I am hopeful and believe that there are possibilities that are here to be uncovered in each of us. I bring generosity of spirit into my work and will meet you where you are at in your process and we will move forward in a way that feels right for you. I am open to sitting with whatever it is that you are experiencing, including those places that may feel scary, painful or overwhelming.

Unfolding, experiencing and living our authentic selves is what I am passionate about. I am highly skilled in guiding clients in accessing and exploring obstacles that are results of our deeply rooted beliefs. Unquestioned beliefs or limiting thoughts that can manifest as anxiety, depression or other psycho-emotional difficulties can actually be guiding lights on our journey to our true Selves. The essence of our being remains untouched as we grow and is waiting to be found and reconnected with. When you connect on a deeper level with your Self, your purpose, gifts, and talents show in their fullness and potentials show up.

Warm, humorous and affable by nature, I employ a careful balance of support and challenge in my work. The support goes to your self-esteem. The challenges are made to what disturbs your well-being. Meaning I start gently so you feel safe. Then apply individually tailored interventions to uproot your depression, anxiety, stress, or whatever it is that's troubling you.

As a holistic psychotherapist I help individuals and couples achieve inner transformation through healing the core psychological issues. With over 10 years experience, I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, addictions, self-esteem, obsessive thought patterns, and personal growth work. There are lots of psychoeducational videos of my approach at www.kenwalton.org We will use a tailored evidence based therapeutic approach. In a safe non-judgmental environment, we address the difficulties in your thought-belief systems, emotional complexes, and behavioural-patterns. www.kenwalton.org
