Sleep or Insomnia Therapists in Toronto, ON

We all experience times in our life that lead us to feeling stressed, low, or anxious. Experiencing difficult emotions is part of the human experience, regardless of our circumstances. However, when our thoughts and feelings begins to impact our daily functioning, mood, and relationships, psychotherapy can help. We work with individuals using a collaborative, supportive, non-judgemental and evidence-based approach. The client is an active participant in the therapy process. We work with individuals of all ages. We are LGBTQ affirming, with experience working with clients of all sexual orientations and gender identities.

I am intrigued by the way that humans are wired to connect with others. In my practice, I strive to build a meaningful connection between us in a gentle and caring way. Similarly, I aim to assist you in building authentic connections with important people in your life. I will help you to explore your strengths and resilience while assisting with the goals that brought you to therapy. I value diversity and the strength that it brings to the development of authentic relationships. I operate from a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive framework that is LGBTQ2IA+ affirming.

It’s said that anxiety is the disorder of missed opportunities.

As I therapist, I am here to help you find solutions to these challenges.

Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. As a Registered Clinical and Health Psychologist, I provide psychotherapy for adults with a broad range of presenting issues. These include anxiety, insomnia , depression, or managing challenging medical conditions such as cancer -- and many others. I have 10+ years' experience, including 7 years as a staff psychologist at Credit Valley Hospital. While choosing a therapist with solid credentials is important, I also hope that my non-judgmental, casual style will quickly allow you to feel comfortable seeking help.

As a psychologist, I work with change. Change may involve shifts in awareness, attitude, behaviour, goals, acceptance, or coping strategies that will enhance your quality of life and well-being. Many obstacles can prevent us from living a satisfying life. These could be a history of trauma, invalidating relationships, habits that no longer serve us, or environments that may hinder our psychological growth. I can help you identify obstacles to your quality of life, develop strategies to tackle them, and set goals to increase and maintain your well-being.

"Manifest the change you seek". People tend to seek therapy when they want to make a change in their lives or way of being and need a little help or guidance making that change. I have several years of experience providing individual psychotherapy to adult clients using evidence-based approaches. More specifically, I provide Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for the treatment of Mood and Anxiety Disorders and Chronic Insomnia .

I had been a medical doctor before I became a psychologist. I changed professions because I realized that our thoughts, feelings, and behavioural habits have a powerful effect on our health and happiness but their potential to aid healing is often neglected in medicine. I feel privileged to work with clients who are on the journey of recovery and self-growth during and after adversities. I work with clients who have sleep problems, fatigue, stress, low mood, depression, anxiety, panic, chronic worry, obsessive thinking, medical or non-medical trauma-related difficulties, post-concussion syndrome, medical illnesses, or chronic pain.

Choosing to engage in therapy is choosing to pave a path to a more balanced, calm, and fulfilling life. I work with adults struggling with a range of concerns including insomnia and sleep disorders, depression, anxiety, grief, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, fertility concerns, psychosis, substance abuse, relationship problems, and generally navigating the stresses of life. I believe that building a safe, trusting, collaborative relationship with clients is the cornerstone to successful therapy. I concentrate strongly on creating an open, non-judgmental environment that promotes client growth and self-exploration.

I work primarily with adults often finding myself with clients experiencing one or more of the following: stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, significant life changes, sleep disturbance, trauma, a history of being sexually violated or those seeking a deeper purpose. Many clients often have a spiritual nature and/or curiosity regarding their life, purpose, meaning and healing journey. I use a psycho-somatic approach often integrating a combination of Havening, Focusing, EMDR, Inner Child, Hypnosis, talk therapy and psychoeducation. These modalities offer a wide range of approaches to assist clients with change.

Hi, I'm Karen Zhang a registered psychologist focused on adults at MindFit, a leading psychology clinic (or as prefer to say, "mental health gym").

Accepting New Clients! I am expert in the field of treating concerns surrounding sleep / insomnia . I also have successful career experience working therapeutically with palliative patients and their caregivers to tackle grief, bereavement and care burnout. I am also an expert in the field of working with mood disorders (depression, anxiety), relationship issues (using attachment theory), dissociative disorders, and many other concerns you might have. I also treat and work with self-esteem/worth, existential questions, burnout, life transitions,and other concerns.

I have a particular interest in the vast field of burnout prevention and treatment. I can help make sense of the increasingly cynical outlook on life and detachment that some individuals experience during transitional and nuanced times. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a sky-rocketing prevalence of anxiety, depression, chronic insomnia , and general exacerbation of preexisting mental health disorders. I am inspired to help others who are experiencing this debilitating state of physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion.

To suffer is human – but to grow and heal is also human. In life, you might experience stress, anxiety, self-criticism, anger, difficult transitions or relationships, chronic pain/health issues, trauma, sleep disturbance, and other challenges.

It can be helpful to seek support from a professional who empowers you to overcome life’s challenges by helping you tap into your inner resources and develop new ones. I am a therapist with several years of experience offering such support.

It can be difficult to navigate the therapy world and I commend you on taking the first step in seeking help. If you have already started your healing journey I welcome the opportunity to collaborate.
