I remember feeling so lost and alone, unsure which way to turn. Who was I? Having 2 young children yet, wanting to die. The pain was unbearable, I could not see any other way out. I cried non stop, dragging myself out of bed in the morning; slept many hours during the day. Not able to see any possibility of change in sight. Why do I hurt? Why am I here? Blaming myself for all that had gone wrong in my life. I was emotionally frozen. No hope! Even the things I loved, didn't bring me joy any more. Does this sound like you? Do you want to be rid of your pain? Are you tired of living this way? IT IS possible to change! I did!

Find a soft resting place here. Sometimes we need space to make sense of our experiences. Life transitions, such as parenting, relationship changes, profound loss, or unexpected roadblocks are a chance to pause, reflect and understand our experiences in order to walk forward with confidence and grace. I enjoy working with parents adjusting to parenthood, and couples navigating their relationship in parenthood. For some, spirituality is important. I am adept at holding space to work through mental health challenges within and amidst this lens.

Hi and welcome! As your therapist, I hope that together we can explore how to find your own unique path back to wellness, joy, & fulfillment. I have clinical training in somatic approaches to complex trauma & PTSD, which is also the area of my current PhD research. I have supported people on their healing journey who have experienced acute trauma; childhood abuse/attachment injuries; sexual assault; anxiety & depression; addiction; relational issues; & spirituality & self-growth. My goal is to provide you with a non-judgmental & supportive space to help ease stress, heal from past wounds & find greater meaning in life.

With gentleness, curiosity and humour, I've walked with people at all ages and stages: facing mental illness or trauma, dealing with infertility or baby loss, embracing queer identity, wrestling with spirituality, living with disability. Your story is central, but talking isn't everything: some of our deepest wounds are held in realms beyond words. Because I often work with trauma and embodied pain, I use neurobiology-based somatic approaches. I use Internal Family Systems (inner parts work) and other approaches that engage clients’ creative, imaginative, and meditative sides in the service of healing.

Therapy is a journey back to our own wisdom, and to our physical bodies. Sometimes we can become overwhelmed with emotions, anxiety, and with life. Using a compassionate, relational approach, I can help bring you back in touch with the various parts of yourself, to see what is stuck and what has to fade in order to find the song of who you truly are. We will explore through many experiences of embodiment, parts work, roleplay, dreams, and dialogue so that through awarenesses that emerge, you will have opportunity to see your life and relationships differently, allowing you to make empowered choices for yourself and others.

As a Registered Social Worker, I provide various forms of support to the Black youth population across the Greater Toronto Area. I assist them with anxiety, depression, identity and belonging, community engagement, wellness, education, and spirituality. My goal is to help them comprehend their lived experiences, manage their thoughts and emotions, and recover from their trauma. To achieve this, I take a collaborative, person-centered and strength-based approach, working with youth to set goals and reach their full potential.

I believe that a person’s well-being requires care for the whole person, in mind, body and spirit. The stories we carry about ourselves and our life experiences can impact us significantly. My hope is to support you in coming to greater clarity about the stories you carry about yourself and to find movement in the areas where you are struggling. I seek to create a safe space of connection, dignity and compassion where people can feel seen and heard and know that they matter. I have 20 years of extensive experience providing therapy and clinical supervision. I offer my services in English and Spanish.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or anxious? Are you struggling with persistent patterns in your life or seeking to enhance your relationships? Having been in therapy myself, I know how precious it feels to find someone who you can connect with, trust, and work through your challenges together. I believe in fostering a collaborative and supportive environment where you can explore your emotions, gain new perspectives and build resilience. No problems are too big or too small. Your healing, recovery and growth journey matters and I am here to welcome you as you are and guide you towards the goals you wish to achieve.

My therapy style has been described as warm and playful, conversational and collaborative. If that is what you are looking for, I would love to continue to chat with you about what your concerns are and how you would like things in your life to look differently. I offer an inclusive and safe space to navigate life’s challenges and become your authentic self. I have helped others process anxiety, depression, relationship concerns. My formal training and lived experiences also enable me to help clients navigate issues like major life transitions, career exploration, academic concerns, faith/spirituality, immigration and motherhood.

We all need someone to talk to from time to time. Someone who will listen attentively to us without passing judgment. As early in life as I can remember, I have possessed an innate desire to help others. I'm an empathic, highly attuned individual with genuine care, compassion & unconditional positive regard for others. Childhood trauma profoundly impacted me, eventually inspiring a career in education. My goal has been to foster inclusion & empower others, leading to my role as a therapist. I utilize a client-centred, cognitive behavioural & solution-focused approach, embedding holistic practices such as mindfulness & spirituality.

Let me be your guide to the life you hope to for. Psychology and psychotherapy have captivated me for years, driving my dedication to the mental health field since 2011. Whether through in-person sessions or online, I tailor to meet the specific needs of each person I work with. I specialize in Couples Therapy and am certified in Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy. I also support individuals facing various difficulties, including phobias, social anxiety, panic attacks, health-related anxieties, major and persistent depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, OCD, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, anger, weight loss, suicidal ideation, and spirituality.

Hi, my name is Elizabeth Idowu and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). My aim is to provide a safe space where my clients can feel seen and heard, as they embark on a journey towards peace, progress and healing. As a Nigerian-Canadian woman, I have both personally endured and been exposed to the struggles of others who look like me and share similar experiences. That is why I make it a priority to create and hold space for those who may struggle with their identity, and relate to experiences of feeling unheard and unseen.
