Therapists in Toronto, ON
Do you feel worn down by anxious thoughts, stress, low mood, insomnia, or the added challenges that ADHD can bring to daily life? When overwhelm and anxiety take hold, they can shape how you think, feel, and connect with the people who matter most. You deserve a space where your story is heard without judgment, and a plan that supports you in moving toward what truly matters to you.
I’m Muhammad, a practicum student at Ermakov Therapy. Before stepping into the therapy room I spent nearly six years in health‑care and pharmaceutical consulting, collaborating with physicians across Toronto for migraine, depression, and ADHD medications

It takes time, effort, emotional vulnerability and you might still not find the right fit. The whole process can be daunting. So...

Hi, I'm Liane! My practice largely centers on helping people strengthen their relationship with themselves and others. Together, we can help you identify and overcome patterns that no longer serve you. Some of the topics that often come up in-session are boundary setting/assertiveness, nervous system regulation, communication skills, co-dependency, and perfectionism. I work with many people who are working through relational trauma (anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment styles). I can also support you in overcoming fears with exposure therapy. I have a holistic approach, incorporating both somatic work and talk therapy.

Parenting, relationships, and daily life can feel like a struggle when stress or painful experiences weigh heavily. You may notice your child feeling anxious or overwhelmed, or you may be carrying your own past experiences that make it hard to feel calm and present. My clients often want relief from that heaviness, clarity in their relationships, and tools to build resilience. Therapy offers a safe space to share your story, process what has happened, and begin moving forward with support. I offer compassionate counselling for healing, resilience, and connection.

My approach is client-centred, which means I don't have a "one size fits all" method to therapy. I have worked with people from all different walks of life. My goal is to provide you with a safe space to speak about whatever issues you need help with each session. My experience has primarily been working with individual adults of all ages, however I have also done some assessment work with children and adolescents.

I am committed to building a relationship that supports your unique needs, develops your strengths and fosters your innate ability to heal. Often, we aren’t afforded the time, opportunity or privilege to learn the most beneficial ways to sift through what comes our way. We tackle things as best we can using strategies learned from previous experiences. In some situations, our default strategies end up taking us further away from what we want. This can prevent us from fulfilling our needs - we may get stuck not knowing how to cope or how to move forward. I primarily use non talk-therapy modules of Structural Dissociation, EMDR, DBR.

Working through loss, feeling anxious or frustrated with life, or difficulties in relationships can leave us feeling overwhelmed and unsure what to do.
For most of us we’re not taught how to deal with hard feelings. So we adapt as best we can and find ways to manage.
You don’t have to keep figuring it out alone.

Are you experiencing communication issues, difficulty trusting and feeling safe or vulnerable in relationships, distorted thinking, and difficulty identifying and regulating emotions?
I support individuals and couples who have experienced trauma, relationship and or attachment injuries. Your healing will be supported using relational and trauma-informed approaches to develop self-compassion, recognize and manage distorted thinking, and identify underlying emotions (anger, anxiety, distrust) that impact your relationships with yourself and others.
