Therapists Beginning With P in Ontario
Hello! I am Pablo and I have been a psychotherapist for more than 20 years. My experience as an individual and as a marriage counsellor, has led me to develop a technique that creates an environment of freedom and safety to express your challenges. Psychotherapy for me is the possibility to question every option, have the freedom to consider the possible outcomes and consequences of our actions and to have the time and space to decide what can make you happier, prouder and fulfilled. Being fully bilingual (English-Spanish) I have helped individuals and couples in their particular circumstances and challenges in Canada.

As a skilled and compassionate clinician, I have several years of experience working with youth and adults in the mental health field. As a Registered Social Worker, I work from a holistic perspective and help clients explore, process and overcome their symptoms of anxiety, low mood and/or trauma. I work primarily through the lens of Polyvagal Theory and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I strongly believe that the body has an incredible capacity for self-healing.

If you've lived through sexual abuse - rape, childhood sexual abuse, or sex trafficking - you may notice changes in how you think, feel, and relate. You might believe you should have stopped it or that you deserved what happened. Trust feels impossible, the world feels unsafe. Maybe you're on edge, overwhelmed with emotions - or numb, unable to feel at all. Sleep is hard. Relationships are tough. Memories haunt you day and/or night. And sex and intimacy...that's either out of control or it feels completely out of reach. Does this sound familiar? Know it doesn't have to stay this way.

So many parents feel blindsided by how differently parenting feels than what they expected - we are told that we will be exhausted, but filled with joy. And while there may be joy, we also often experience feelings of grief, resentment, helplessness and rage. We are confronted by the limits of our control in so many ways, and are more consumed with worry for our child and getting everything just right than we could have ever imagined. Our relationship with our partner may feel foreign and hard, and the ways that we would normally care for ourselves feel out of reach. Many wonder, should it be this hard? Am I not cut out for this?
