Online Counselling for Ontario

Welcome! I'm Tammy, Registered Social worker for over twenty five years and director of Horizon Therapy. We could all benefit at different times in our lives to have a safe and spacious space to talk about concerns and receive support. Our experienced therapists specialize in working with individuals (13+), couples and families and are dedicated to supporting you in your personal growth, goals and healing journey. Drawing on a strong mix of psychodynamic, relational, mindfulness, attachment, somatic, body-based, emotion-focused, transpersonal and Jungian approaches we will work collaboratively in ways that best support you.

Have you ever been unsure of who you are? Or felt lost or alone in dealing with feelings of loss, depression, or anxiety? Trauma and stressful life events can change us; an experience where we can't even recognize ourselves. Issues surrounding gender identity or sexuality can at times bring about feelings of being alone in the world. If you are struggling with difficult thoughts and emotions, a trusted therapist could help engage with what truly matters to you. I'm here to help you with your unexpected challenges in your life so that you can live a life that is in line with YOUR values.

I would like to support you with your life challenges, stressors, depression and anxiety. I want to help you reach your goals effectively through warm and empathic interaction. I can provide a warm space if you are looking for a caring and empathic therapist. As an affirmative therapist, I also work with BIPOC and LGBTQ populations, with extensive training in couples work. I facilitate non-judgementally and can walk us through collaborative and effective approaches. I have extensive experience working with ADHD, Autism and Neurodiversity and specialize in Brainspotting Trauma therapy. I want to understand your lived experiences.

You? You're probably awestruck by the beauty of this world but also heart-broken by the cruelty of some of the people in it, and enraged at the injustice. Maybe you have unimaginably intense emotions that you struggle to surf, a quick mind but difficulties connecting with others, creative impulses you can't quite express (or not as fluidly as you used to), or are in a relationship where one of you is a POC and the other isn't and you're just trying to make your crazy love work. You might be a healthcare provider needing to replenish your own well, or a therapist seeking an empowering clinical supervisor.

I have a formidable passion for helping you build and energize a joyful, loving & creative life. My clients are high functioning, gifted, and imaginative individuals, plus HSPs. I am naturally engaged, authentic & direct. Unlike therapists who are silent and write on a pad, aloof & distant, I listen with curiosity & empathy to provide ample feed-back when you request it. You will feel at ease. I will provide you with personalized therapy, using the best technique that can help you with imagination, intuition, warmth, & effectiveness from Narrative, image-based, Psychodynamic, CBT, DBT therapies, & Mindfulness modalities.

My specific interest lies in addressing issues related to loss of emotional control, sexual addiction, relationship issues, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, adverse childhood experiences, grief, and loss. Drawing from my background as an educator, I assist individuals of all ages to reach their academic and career potential. Decades of work as a yoga instructor have led to an ability to cultivate self-compassion, acceptance and mindfulness in my clients. We work collaboratively together as a team to move you towards a life of greater well-being and meaning. Poly + queer + kink +

Life is an ever-shifting sea, where the currents of growth and transformation carry us on a journey of self-discovery. At times, we may find ourselves adrift, uncertain of our shores and longing for a sense of direction. In these moments, therapy can be an anchor, grounding us and helping us navigate the vast ocean of possibilities. Just as a skilled mariner binds a knot that secures a sail, I believe that each person possesses the innate ability to thread together their own unique narrative of healing and transformation. Through the therapeutic process, we can mend the frayed edges of our being, with compassion and resilience.

It's okay to experience all the emotions, even if they can be overwhelming at times. As a queer immigrant in a diaspora, I am especially effective in understanding how hard life transitions can be for immigrants and people of queer identity. You might feel that you are stuck in a place of no return and cannot see any path forward. You are struggling to experience a sense of belonging, and yet you don’t feel that you are offered any choice in life. Trauma (e.g. microaggressions, state-induced trauma, etc.) can disconnect you from yourself. My relational approach to healing trauma will help you practice feeling worthy, and loved.

Hello, I'm Jonathan, a Registered Psychotherapist, offering both virtual and in-person sessions. My focus revolves around providing trauma-informed care, rooted in somatic and emotional awareness. Our journey toward healing unfolds through collaborative efforts, always placing your empowerment at the forefront. As someone who identifies as queer, I hold a commitment to supporting a diverse array of individuals. We'll delve into the intricate dynamics of self-relationship and interpersonal connections, embracing an inclusive recognition of partnership and flying solo.

Are you, your relationship or family looking for a therapist with experience & knowledge of 2SLGBTQ+ identities? Rainbowcounselling is a completely virtual 2SLGBTQ+ Affirming Counselling practice which supports folks all over Ontario, Canada. We value anti-oppressive and trauma informed approaches to counselling. Our therapists understand the importance of bridging the gap in accessible mental health care for queer and transgender folks & those in close relationships to the community. Our therapists specialize in topics including: Neurodivergent Identities, Relationships, Trauma, Infidelity, Betrayal, Exploring Sexuality & Gender.

I am a relational psychotherapist and trauma practitioner. I completed 5-year Psychotherapy training at the Gestalt Institute of Toronto, 3-year Somatic Experiencing training for trauma resolution (Montreal), and I hold a MA in Women's and Gender Studies (Carleton University, Ottawa). I have worked deeply with people struggling with a range of emotions/experiences including grief, self-harm, suicidal ideation, anger, childhood abuse and psychosocial trauma (including war), post-immigration experiences, relationship difficulties and self-actualization issues. My practice is trans, queer, fat and sex worker affirming.

Thank you for being here! I work with adults who may experience emotional and behavioural difficulties. I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, OCD, depressive disorders, personality disorders, PTSD, racial trauma, grief and loss, and other relational problems. I also work with those who have experienced childhood trauma. In my work, I consistently and sincerely acknowledge the importance of the transgenerational impact of acculturation on our beliefs, worldviews, and sense of self. I genuinely believe that we are not broken, so we do not need "fixing;" instead, we work to be the self we want to be!

As your therapist, my greatest priority is to create an accepting and compassionate space where you can feel safe to be yourself, exactly as you are. My wish is that you leave our sessions feeling heard, valued, and hopeful that change is possible. Together, we can gently unpack your burdens, and explore what is keeping you from living a more comfortable and fulfilling life. Should you be seeking deeper healing, we can integrate holistic, evidence-based trauma treatments (such as EMDR) into our work together in a manner that honours your pace/timing. Through collaboration, we can also find creative ways to build upon your strengths!

Do you feel stuck in old patterns of thoughts/behaviours? Are you trying to embrace who you truly are as you graduate into adulthood, steer through relationship endings, or transition into a new stage/year in life? Do you struggle with being imperfectly human in societal structures calling for your perfection to belong? Is guilt/shame messaging from cultural norms about your gender, sexual orientation, 'race' etc. holding you back from achieving your full potential? Are losses weighing you down? If YES to any of these, I'd like to support you to grow into your wholehearted authentic life. Now's the time to invest in YOU!

As a Social Worker, Psychotherapist and Qualified Mindfulness Instructor, I work with you to help you make sense of your own life experiences, understand how your past affects you now, and make positive changes. Mindfulness is an integral part of my personal and professional life. Since 2009 I have studied the intersection of Buddhism and Psychology and I have partnered with several government and public institutions to run accessible mindfulness programs (including MBSR) for staff and students (i.e. Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, UofT, Central LHIN, The Princess Margaret).

Now accepting new clients! With a Master’s degree of Social Work and over five years of experience in the non-profit sector, I am dedicated to supporting individuals and families facing various life challenges. Since before the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by my relocation, I have been a skilled interviewer and researcher working in downtown Toronto and the U of T community.

I work with youth and adults who are struggling with cumulative stress, anxiety, or trauma and want to develop a sense of emotional stability and well-being; they're looking for a therapist who can be authentic. Going beyond traditional talk therapy, I use somatic (body-based) psychotherapy in healing trauma, including developmental trauma - childhood abuse, neglect, or caregiver misattunement. Somatic therapy is a gentle, experiential approach that integrates awareness of body sensations to allow the body, mind and emotions to heal from trauma, so you can feel more connected and engaged in your life.

I have learned there is wisdom and resilience hidden in even the most painful of patterns, even when these patterns leave us trapped in destructive habits, despair or bad relationships. Once we find the wise intentions behind the old strategies, healing can happen. If you’re used to numbing out or criticizing yourself to get through the hard times – we’ll do it differently. Therapy with me is a judgment-free space to bring your sorrow, anxiety, anger and confusion without having to hide it or push through on your own.

I am passionate about fostering restorative and expansive post-traumatic growth. I welcome big feelings, mystery, existential questions, complex issues around relationships or trauma, and extraordinary health concerns. I can support you in learning how to lean into your pain and grow your edges so that you can express yourself more authentically. My intention is to help you become the most integrated, whole version of your unique self, leading to more connection, freedom, and meaning in your life. I use safe holistic practices to connect people to their own innate wisdom; coherence between your mind, heart, and body is possible.
