Therapists in Toronto, ON

As a clinical psychologist, my theoretical bases are developmental, psychodynamic and self-psychology theory. I strive to help my clients understand more about themselves, especially how early family dynamics, traumatic events, and major relationships of the past continue to play out throughout our lives, often in unexpected ways. Understanding the impact of these connections in terms of current concerns, be they family, career, environmental or social, can help prepare us to meet the challenges we face. Then there are more specific, targeted concerns that people have. For these concerns we turn to additional approaches.

Let my creativity meet yours! I am a person-centred psychotherapist who has been incorporating evidence based techniques, mindfulness and expressive arts modalities into my work for over 20 years. My experience includes working with complex mental health conditions, grief and loss, trauma and resiliency, self-care, ASD, life transitions and supporting individuals who have been impacted by a family member's complex mental health needs. With a collaborative and strengths-based approach, I will strive to develop a partnership with you in order to identify challenges with clarity and focus on clear, realistic goals to work towards.

I believe that everyone is always doing the best they can to live a happy and fulfilling life, and sometimes we just get stuck. If you find that your good habits have gone out the window, you are more stressed than usual, or that you are lacking in motivation, focus, or energy, you are not alone. Compassionate support can help you to move through a period of difficulty and offer tools to help you achieve your goals, and be the person you want to be. As an Occupational Therapist, I am interested in helping you to find ways to participate in the activities of life that are most meaningful to you.

Investing in our mental health transforms all aspects of our lives! As a social worker and therapist with ten years of experience, my desire to support people in their healing work is rooted in my passion to cultivate safe, accessible and affirming resources for all of the intersectional identities we hold.

Focusing on your mind-body connection is essential in counselling. By partnering with your body, you can change and shape the way you experience your life. Understanding how your body functions to serve and protect you is fundamental to attaining health, growth, and healing. Gaining awareness and exploring how your physical state changes in response to life events is the first step to regaining your internal sense of safety. Feeling safe allows you to become more connected with yourself and to others, to build resiliency, develop resources, and sustain balance in various areas of your life.

Hi, I’m Maddy! Thank you for visiting my profile! I have the privilege to work with children, youth, and young adults. I support individuals and families to better understand themselves and their experiences in order to help them gain a sense of control and balance. Those I work with often struggle with overwhelming or intrusive thoughts, large emotional reactions, and a lack of motivation to do the things they once enjoyed. Together I believe we can work towards achieving your wellness goals and restoring a sense of control and hope!

We all struggle in invisible ways as our lives become inhibited by pressures and expectations of the day to day. We are often further debilitated by our less than perfect past, where old hurts and abandon influence our current choices. Most impacted are our relationships, our work, and our connection to the self. I believe therapy gives us the opportunity to both accept what was and is, and through growth orienting processes help us recreate ourselves into versions that feel more aligned with who we would like to become.
