Martin Luciani- Relationship Self Growth Life Transitions
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd
12 Endorsed
Whitby, ON L1N
On paper, you are reliable and ambitious. But internally, you feel like you're running on a treadmill that never stops. You don’t just need to "vent"; you need a strategy. For couples, the spark has been replaced by repetitive conflict or silent drift.
Hi, I’m Martín. I specialize in strengthening the two most critical connections: with your partner, and with yourself. I help individuals build self-worth based on who they are, not just what they do, and provide couples a practical roadmap to navigate communication breakdowns and find their way back to one another.

You’re a smart, hard-working, highly sensitive person in your 20s or 30s — but you feel stuck.
You might recognize the patterns: people-pleasing, over-apologizing, oversharing, overworking, and putting everyone else’s needs ahead of your own. Your anxiety feels constant. Your inner critic analyzes every word and decision. You’re always trying to improve yourself, yet it never feels like enough.
Maybe you’ve wondered: Is this anxiety? ADHD? Depression? Trauma?
You’ve read the self-help books, tried meditation, journaling, mental health walks - you know you’re supposed to “love yourself,” but you’re not sure how to actually get there.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
I’ve been working with individuals for over 25 years, and many of the people I meet with come to therapy because life has started to feel heavier than it should. Anxiety, low mood, big life changes, grief, or ongoing stress can slowly wear you down and make even everyday decisions feel harder. Often, people tell me they’ve been “holding it together” for a long time, but inside they feel drained, disconnected, or unsure how to cope anymore.

Overthinking, self-criticism, and guilt rarely introduce themselves as problems. They slip in quietly, until you find yourself stuck in the same cycles or drifting further from who you actually are. Many of my clients, including teens and young adults, recognise this along with the weight of anxiety, perfectionism, or expectations that always feel just out of reach. I provide a warm, collaborative space to slow down, feel truly heard, and start making sense of what has been keeping you stuck. Together, we develop strategies that are practical, grounded, and built for the life you are actually living.

Hi, I'm Abbie, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and my work focuses on helping you untangle these layered experiences, reconnect with your inner strength, and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust.

Anxiety can feel like a shadow you can’t quite shake, even when things are going well. If you feel like you’re constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop, it’s time to look at the 'why' behind the worry. Together, we explore the foundations of your anxiety, getting to the root of the problem rather than just managing the fallout. In our sessions, we’ll create a safe space to investigate these patterns at your own pace, moving toward a life where you aren't just surviving your thoughts, but actually leading them.

When anxiety makes ordinary tasks feel impossible, motivation has vanished, or the mind simply will not cooperate, it is easy to feel perpetually behind. For the teens and young adults I work with, the exhaustion of trying to keep pace, the pain of feeling invisible, or the demoralising experience of watching strategy after strategy fail are things they know all too well. Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and emotional dysregulation so often come as part of the picture. I am passionate about helping this group build a stronger sense of self, develop genuine confidence, and find tools that hold up in real life.

Accepting new clients! Many of the people I see are thoughtful, insightful, and have spent years understanding themselves. They've read the books, tried the coping skills, and know why they react, but are still feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and stuck in the same patterns. I support folxs with ADHD and Autism, single-event and complex trauma, hair pulling and skin picking, rejection sensitivity, anxiety and depression, and couples with relationship stress using an integration of relational, cognitive, and body-focused approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR).

You might be someone who understands difficult experiences intellectually but still feels their impact in your body—the constant vigilance, the shutdown, the exhaustion of managing everyone else's emotions.
You're deeply self-aware and reflective, but stuck in patterns that feel hard to shift. You may be looking for approaches beyond talk therapy alone, wanting to address what feels unresolved at a nervous system level. Not simply coping strategies, but wanting to feel safer in your body and relationships, access feelings without overwhelm, feel genuinely at home in yourself, and create a life that reflects who you actually are.

Looking for a therapist can feel overwhelming. Whether this is your first time starting therapy or have tried counselling before and want something different, you don’t have to navigate it alone. You may be coping with anxiety, grief, stress, burnout, or a life transition. Parenting challenges, relationship or family issues, self-esteem concerns, or the unique experiences of ADHD or ASD can also take a toll. These struggles can leave you feeling drained and uncertain about the future. Or, you might be tired of acting fine when, in truth, you’re not. Here, you’ll find a safe, compassionate space to process what you’re going through.

You might be feeling constantly on edge, low, or stuck in unhelpful patterns like overthinking, people-pleasing, withdrawing, or using substances to cope. You may look “okay” on the outside while quietly carrying anxiety, depression, guilt, shame, or self-doubt. My ideal client is someone who is tired of just pushing through and wants to understand why they feel this way, break these cycles, and start feeling more like themselves again.

New patients welcome. Whether you are experiencing low self-esteem, addiction, anxiety, depression or trauma, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Perhaps you're dealing with constant racing thoughts that make it hard to relax, or you feel stuck in negative thought patterns that affect your mood & confidence.

We'd probably be a great fit if you're looking for a therapist who is comfortable supporting concerns that feel complex such as anxiety, AuDHD, BPD, PMDD, and trauma. I primarily work with individuals between the ages of 20-50 who are burnt out, overwhelmed, struggling at work, school, and/or in their relationships. Often my clients are navigating life transitions like breakups, perimenopause, and setting boundaries with emotionally immature parents. I also provide holistic care for women burdened by chronic pain and health conditions like PCOS (now PMOS), migraines, and endometriosis.
