Therapists in Toronto, ON

Hi! Thanks for visiting. Maybe it’s like you’re about to drown in overwhelm, and you wish you could catch your breath. Maybe that out-of-control urge exploded again, and you wish you could find that kind of relief without all the mess afterward. Maybe it exploded in one or more of your relationships, and you don’t know what to do, but you feel unspeakably lost or lonely about it. Maybe at times you’ve given up on life being worth living. Maybe other times you do everything you can think of to survive. Or maybe it’s your teen or someone else you love who’s going through things like this, and you need support. I’d love to help.

Are you or your child struggling? Are you concerned about handling your emotions? Does your child have difficulty regulating their emotions, controlling anger, or having social difficulties? Perhaps you are worried about how your child is coping with recent changes in the family, such as separation or divorce? You don’t have to be alone! Parenting is the most invested relationship one can partake in. There are many challenges involved in guiding little people towards becoming adults and life can force families to face events that impact children's ability to function successfully within their daily environments.

Welcome! I am a queer and gender expansive therapist, offering individual online therapy across most Canadian jurisdictions. I offer a contextualizing, self-compassionate, and strengths based approach. While life's hardships will never disappear, I can help you come to more peace and aliveness within yourself. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space to be seen, heard, and grow within. Therapy is kind of like detangling a big ball of yarn; it can be both hard yet relieving (you're not broken, just tangled!), and ultimately allows room for more consciousness/choice to flow in: now that your threads are free, what would you like to weave?

You are not alone in your journey. I am accepting new clients and I am available to support you. If you are struggling with depression or anxiety, I can help you learn to cope better and understand your own mind. Working together, we can explore how your unconscious mind affects your thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. I have many years of experience working with teens, adults, and seniors. I offer a safe and non-judgmental place to explore the issues that are getting in the way of you living your life to your potential.

Hi, I'm Sabrina. I work with adult individuals and bring a friendly, easy-going approach and sense of acceptance and safety to the sessions. Clients I see are experiencing depression or anxiety and are looking to ease their symptoms. Other issues I commonly work with are emotional loneliness, self-esteem, navigating family dynamics, relationship issues, and impostor syndrome.

With gentleness, curiosity and humour, I've walked with people at all ages and stages: facing mental illness or trauma, dealing with infertility or baby loss, embracing queer identity, wrestling with spirituality, living with disability. Your story is central, but talking isn't everything: some of our deepest wounds are held in realms beyond words. Because I often work with trauma and embodied pain, I use neurobiology-based somatic approaches. I use Internal Family Systems (inner parts work) and other approaches that engage clients’ creative, imaginative, and meditative sides in the service of healing.

Life is full of demands and responsibilities that can feel overwhelming. Emotions and self-defeating thoughts can interfere with you feeling and performing at your best. You want something to change but untangling these patterns seems too difficult. When you learn to harness your emotions and thoughts they can begin to work with you and not against you, allowing you to take ownership of your life. I believe this resilience is a skill we all have the capacity to acquire. My goal is to make mental health therapy practical and effective, so you can live a happier and more productive life.

Some of the most difficult and painful moments in our lives have the potential to be the most beautiful and meaningful. It could be that you are struggling with depression, easily overcome by stress and anxiety or experiencing difficulties in your personal/family relationships. What you need is someone to witness and share in the pain, grief and joy of being alive.

Life can be challenging, whether we are young or old, alone or in relationship with others. With over 30 years of experience working with children, youth, adults and families in a variety of settings, I have learned that we can face and overcome many of life's challenges by recognizing our strengths, understanding our fears, enhancing our relationships and learning new skills and knowledge to manage the struggles we are facing. Therapy can be a daunting first step and yet a part of what may be a transformative journey.

I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with over a decade of experience providing assessment and psychotherapeutic services. I have a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) from the University of Manitoba and a Master of Social Work from the University of Toronto (MSW). In addition to my independent practice, I have a clinical role at a large mental health teaching hospital. I hold Adjunct Lecturer Status in the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work at the University of Toronto. My practice is an affirming space for diverse communities, including gender and sexually diverse (LGBTQ) clients and allies.

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.

I help clients by going deeper into their unique make-up. Not to judge, or pathologize but to understand, accept and create custom strategies to achieve their life goals, whatever they may be, without attempting to change who they are. The strategies developed are inclusive of any challenges clients bring: anxiety; depression; obsessive compulsive disorder; post-traumatic stress disorder; grief; and sexual identify. With the right support, none of these challenges prevents clients from setting and achieving significant goals on their path to creating a meaningful life.

I am a registered Clinical and Health Psychologist at the Centre for Psychology and Emotional Health. I received my PhD at the University of Toronto and recently completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University Health Network (UHN) in cancer survivorship. I have a special interest in supporting men and women facing challenges coping with a life-threatening illness. I am compassionate, caring and available. I am dedicated to building upon my clients' strengths, while empowering them to make meaningful change. I approach psychotherapy as a collaborative partnership in which we work together to achieve your life goals.

For over a decade I have practiced in a variety of clinical settings including community treatment and hospital settings, specializing in the areas of depression, anxiety, substance use, and gambling. In particular, I have worked with transitional aged youth and adults from diverse backgrounds experiencing a broad spectrum of substance use and mental health challenges.

Sexual urges interests and behaviour can troubling and interfere with your daily functioning and relationship. Are you in distress over them? I have 25 years directly assessing and working with sexual problems and concerns, with a recognized compassionate understanding of men struggling with their sexual issues - or the consequences of them. I work effectively with the internal or external conflicts and have worked with many professional psychiatrists, social workers, and psychologists. Please feel free to contact me

Hi, I'm Kelsey Donald a registered psychotherapist (qualifying) focused on youth and adolescents at MindFit, a leading psychology clinic (or as prefer to say, "mental health gym"). Just like a "typical" gym, MindFit was designed to be accessible and inviting to anyone looking to improve their emotional well-being. From day one, I will do everything I can ensure to ensure you and, most importantly, your child feels heard, supported and valued. My apporach is structured (with weekly handouts), evidence-based, and designed to help your child develop practical and effective skills and strategies to not only cope, but thrive.

You are driven and a high performer and it has cost you a lot of anxiety. Your solution has been to work harder and power through everything, at home and at work. Even though you feel disconnected, lonely and isolated, you tell yourself - keep going. This is the only way you know how. You're afraid of failing, you're afraid to stop, you're afraid of taking that next step in your career. You don't have to suffer for success and happiness. Your way of coping isn't working anymore. Let me show you a better way, this is not about changing your work ethic, it’s about using different tools to reframe success and support.

"I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to begin to understand your own story." I have dedicated my life to build a practice where people can come to a place of peace, where you feel comfortable and safe to unburden yourself about the most intimate and personal aspects of your life without the fear of being judged or shamed. This process allows you to shed the layers that keep you going in the same cycles and help you start a new and more fulfilling chapter in your life. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I can help.
