Therapists in Toronto, ON

I am a bilingual Clinical Social Worker passionate about human behaviour. The majority of my experience has been with women at risk that have been touched by trauma; i.e. refugee claimants, sexual abuse/rape, domestic violence, child abuse, and many others. I assist in your healing process, exploring the trauma creating a better "now", and planning for a successful immediate future. I really believe you have the resilience and the capacity to heal yourself, let me help you!

***WELCOMING NEW CLIENTS, ADULTS AND TEENS. *** Therapy is a space to land: to feel supported, brave, listened to and centred. As a practitioner with 10 years of experience in yoga and meditation, I am guided by a belief that the mind and body are interconnected. We’ll work collaboratively to challenge self-held beliefs and nurture your strengths and values. I’m a firm believer that healing ultimately lies in integration, so with that in mind, we’ll not only focus on the symptoms of your pain but also develop a capacity to hold your pain with mindfulness and compassion. ​

My name is Rachael, and I am an Intern/Student Psychotherapist and Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I am currently pursuing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University and completing my practicum placement at One Peace Therapy under the supervision of Michèle Mani. When faced with challenging emotions, spiralling thoughts, or adverse events, it can make finding a way out seem impossible. Finding moments of light, reflecting on experiences, and deepening self-awareness can help us identify and define our preferred paths.

Life is a journey full of ups and downs, twists and turns. So, of course, we all stumble, fall, or get off track along the way. The reasons are numerous, and the stumbles and falls can sometimes feel extremely painful. We can feel confused, stressed, discouraged, and sad. We are all human, and we all need someone to help us along the journey. Let me walk with you and begin the journey to health and healing.

Whether we identify as male, female, transgendered, non-binary, mother, father, or other. I know one thing for sure; we are humans playing a part in this game of life. We all practice being human, unconsciously and/or consciously. We all experience life's most difficult trials and troubles and yes, we also experience joy. This is immutable. Given this reality, how can we live our life optimally, rich with purpose and fulfillment while balancing the curve balls, the numbness, the stress, the cravings, or the hurt? The truth is, you can do it. We can do it together. Sometimes all you need is a patient helping hand.

I believe that painful experience and times of suffering are inevitable and bring us into contact with the most human parts of ourselves. Rather than pushing experiences away, I work with clients to get close and learn from the things that worry them, depress them and excite them. And to watch for the wisdom and resilience that emerges when we do. I see therapy as an opportunity for individuals to know themselves deeply, treat themselves therapeutically, and to recognize themselves as rich, capable and complex beings. My stance is curious and non-judgemental. The relationship that I offer is caring, respectful and often playful.

It is a natural part of life that we question our careers and ask ourselves why we do what we do. You may be feeling unfulfilled and purposeless with your career where it feels painful to stay where you are, but it also feels painful to deal with the confusion, overwhelm, stress, and anxiety involved in thinking about what's next and how to transition your career. As a Registered Psychotherapist and Career Counsellor, I'm here to help you manage these emotions and make a strategic, informed decision on what career to pursue next. My approach combines psychotherapy with practical decision-making and action-planning.

Being a mom is hard. You’re tired (so tired). You’re overwhelmed by all of the things - some of which you were prepared for, and many that you weren’t. You give so much to all of the people in your life - especially your kid(s), and at the end of the day, there is nothing left for you. You may be sad, anxious, angry, or lonely. You no longer recognize your life. You no longer recognize yourself. Please, know this: You are not alone. It is possible to find your joy, and to feel like yourself again. You are worthy of this, and so much more.

I believe that therapy should always be a place where we find unconditional acceptance, are held in a positive light, regularly gain insights and reflection, and are free to voice our thoughts and feelings without fearing criticism or shame. I have experience supporting individuals with depression, anxiety, struggles with substance use, relationship challenges, trauma, and issues of identity and self-worth related to race, culture, family, gender and sexuality.
