Rational Emotive Behaviour (REBT) Therapists in Toronto, ON

I believe that no matter what you have been through, there's always a way to move forward and start to heal. Even in the darkest of times, there's a glimmer of hope and a desire to feel at peace and safe. What matters is that instead of giving up, you are seeking help and that means you are getting ready to use external and internal resources to move past what's causing you distress. I take an individualized approach that is tailored to the needs of each client. I believe in providing a non-judgmental atmosphere where you feel safe to be yourself.

If you are feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, worried all the time, triggered, stuck, scared, constantly "in your head" and/or just plain sad, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE THIS WAY. There is a better life for you.

Nowadays, human beings are confronted with lots of existential issues such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, anger and obsessive thought. As a therapist who got his Master of Art in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University in Canada, and is a philosopher by training and got his PhD from the UK earlier; I love to build up and maintain my therapeutic alliance with the clients who deal with the issues and are planning to improve their mental health. I know that therapeutic relationship is a journey, in which the client and therapist, as co- travelers go ahead step by step throughout therapy sessions.

My practice is entitled 'Awareness: The First Step to Healthy Living' because I believe that if you are not aware of your strengths and potential and the nature of your relationships, it is not possible for you to move ahead in life. I treat serious mental health issues, addiction issues, eating disorders, mild autism, individual, couples and family issues (relational work), grief and loss, crisis intervention work, and, generally explore and build on positive self development.

To grow and to heal. This is a choice we can make. If you are reading this, you have already taken a step in that direction. Perhaps you are wondering if therapy can help you take some more steps. These steps can be in many directions – doing better, achieving goals, reducing distress, managing difficult emotions, understanding unhelpful patterns, dealing with relationship issues, coming to terms with the issues of the past, or seeking answers to life’s challenging questions. We arrive in therapy with our own unique expectations. My goal is to help you take the steps towards meeting those expectations.

Welcome! I believe therapy is an adventure, and I am passionate about helping people move out of their comfort zones and achieve meaningful changes.

I draw from different modalities, including Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), Gestalt, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), as well as mindfulness and trauma-informed approaches.

*Now accepting clients* For so many, the hardest part of therapy is putting themselves first. When you’ve come to the point of accepting that you need support in overcoming challenges in your life, you may feel overwhelmed, beat down, tired, and low. Many of my clients feel a sense of relief following the first session where they’ve taken the first step in improving their life, relationships, and happiness. Therapy is work, and requires dedication to the process and to yourself.

With my guidance, you could gain the clarity and focus to create meaningful and lasting change.
