"My approach is client-centred and I draw on various modalities to best meet the needs of the individual client. I am trained in CBT, EFT, SST and DBT and have many years experience in children's mental health and working with individuals and groups at Community Health Centre in Toronto. I will work with each client to identify their strengths, needs and provide a framework to learn new ways of coping and managing with whatever challenges they are facing. "

"I provide support to women and the transitions in their lives. I am a warm, friendly and attentive psychotherapist who strives to have your voice heard. I believ you arr the expert in your life. Primarily, my focus is on perinatal, postpartum and parenting concerns. I also have extensive abuse and trauma therapy experience. By listening with empathy and no judgement, I work with you to create a space to explore your situation and facilitate a path to healing and wellness. It is my goal to help women in their journey of healing towards a life with wellness and resiliency."

"I am devoted to helping individuals to explore issues around finding a sense of purpose in their own lives, particularly after a significant life change, or even if you are having difficulty making a decision around a significant life change. Often, depression and anxiety manifests as a symptom in our lives when it is unclear what meaning we attach to the things we are doing on a daily basis. I look forward to helping you explore these factors through active exploration of the things that are priority and important in your life."

"As a practical, results oriented therapist, my treatment approach will provide you with insight and feedback to help you address current and longstanding issues. I approach my work with sensitivity and compassion. With an intregration of complimentary methods, I draw upon a selection of styles and techniques to incorporate what is most helpful to you as an individual. I have been providing counselling for 20 years and appreciate the courage it takes to book that first appointment."

"I know from personal experience that anxiety and depression can have a devastating impact on our ability to live full lives. It's that experience that led me to become a therapist, and to specialize in supporting adults and youth struggling with anxiety and depression. In our work together, we will develop the skills and strategies that you need to find relief from your symptoms. We will also help you to explore the root causes of those symptoms. I have worked in community mental health for 10+ years, so I can also help you navigate the broader mental health system."

"For more than 35 years I have been privileged to work with individuals: children, adolescents, adults, with couples and families in different configurations, and with groups. I also have been exposed to different schools of thought in psychotherapy and different ways of supporting people. I am not attached to any particular school of thinking or any particular school of helping, although I have a few strong attractions some of which include Narrative Therapy and Mindfulness. This profession, like many professions, is about growth, and so I would like to help you grow in your own unique way."

"I am a caring therapist with a deep enthusiasm for inner wellness and personal freedom. I have worked closely as a psychotherapist with adults, children (6-12 years old), couples and families over the last 15 years in the Toronto area. My significant experience and training in various treatment orientations have provided me confidence to treat various psychological and emotional issues. I have had extensive consultation experience in providing a nurturing environment for my client's concerns. My approach is to provide consultation and effective treatment in a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients find a support that is compassionate, effective and transformative."

"I specialize in Women's Reproductive Life Transitions including families trying to conceive, pregnancy, postpartum, pregnancy loss and menopause, often working with issues related to depression, anxiety and grief."

"Does the weight of your worry continue to grow and leave you feeling exhausted? Are you trying hard to fit in, but usually end up feeling excluded, unhappy, and anxious? Or perhaps you're noticing that your child is finding it hard to connect with others? The stress of relationships and identity can be a lot to manage; having to tell someone about it can be downright overwhelming. If you or a loved one feels like there's nowhere else to turn, accessing the support of a trusted therapist can help you focus on your strengths and discover who you really are."

"I am an experienced therapist with 28 years of practise to draw upon. I will listen carefully as you describe the issues that you need support and help to sort out. Often, an increased understanding of the challenges that you face can be very helpful to move forward in your life. As well, learning some new skills to manage the issues and/or gaining a new perspective on the issues can be useful as well. I appreciate that it is not easy to embark on a therapy course so I make every effort to be supportive and understanding as we build a therapy relationship."

"Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, depressed, hopeless, lonely,confused, scared, frustrated or stuck? Are the issues that you are facing getting in the way of your daily functioning, enjoyment, health, relationships, goals, academic success, job performance and of the hopes and dreams that you have for yourself? Are you tired of feeling the way that you are and want something different for yourself? If you answered "Yes" to any of the above, then you've come to the right place! We can work together to help you move toward a healthier and happier place in a way that fits for you."

"I am committed to providing a multiculturally competent approach to quality psychotherapy and assessment. I have extensive experience in counselling and conducting psychoeducational assessments for children, adolescents and adults."

"For singles struggling with commitment: I will help you get clear on what you're looking for in a partner, and what may be getting in your way. For couples: I help both partners understand how your individual stories led you to each other, and how your inevitable difficulties can become opportunities for growth."

"I provide counselling/ therapy to families and individuals facing challenging or traumatic life situations. It can be very distressing for individuals during these times. If you are feeling helpless,alone, confused and overwhelmed with your situation, I am familiar with these debilitating pain and overwhelming emotions. I would like to help you to get through this and be empowered. Parenting is another challenge. Parenting a strong willed child with challenging behaviours can be frustrating. Parents need support and someone who will help them to guide the child in turning those negative behaviours into positives.I am committed to affect change."

"I'm a therapist with 30+ years experience in working with people like you and problems like yours.My passion is work with families, couples and individuals looking for more satisfying and rewarding relationships. I see you as a unique individual, and excite in developing new solutions that suit your needs. I believe that your children teach you how to be their 'best' parent and your parents hand over a legacy that you can continue or you can create a new one to pass on. I have worked in 3 countries and specialize in loss, trauma, parenting and transitions."

"I myself have lost 100lbs and kept it off for five years (I started August 15, 2012). I have read that the the odds of keeping that amount of weight off over that length of time are very low. As such, I work with clients to address long-term weight management issues. As a therapist, I know that weight management involves managing emotions, past trauma and even addictive tendencies. However, as someone who has "been there and done that", I know very practical solutions for long term weight loss and stand ready to help you achieve your goals."

"I work with adults and couples to help them move towards a state of continued growth, compassion, and self-awareness in a way that is collaborative, strengths-based, and empowering. I believe in creating a client-therapist relationship that fosters authenticity, support, and space for both acceptance, and for change. This can begin in our very first session. Together, we can begin to tease apart the adaptive approaches to dealing with and moving through life you've grown accustomed to, and begin to decipher which of these patterns are serving you, and which you may be interested in moving beyond."

"I believe in an empathic, collaborative approach, so that you may always be part of the therapeutic process. Psychotherapy allows for a unique relationship, whereby the focus of attention is on understanding you. It provides an opportunity for openness, trust and honesty, often difficult in other interpersonal situations. It can help you to increase your resilience to life challenges and improve relationships. I use a range of therapy modalities according to the best fit for your needs and personality. Greater meaning in life can be achieved by longer term therapy, but also brief periods of therapy which are cumulative."

"Feel like #%!*? Let's talk about it. I offer a warm, creative, down-to-earth approach that is client-focused and collaborative. I work from a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive framework. I believe in bringing light and air to the parts of ourselves that need time and space to emerge. In our increasingly fragmented world filled with smart phones and twitter feeds, we could all use some good old-fashioned connection. I bring a deep curiousity about the ways we move through the world, the stories we tell ourselves and how our relationships are affected."

"Each of us is on our own unique life path where the process of understanding who we are and the world around us is shaped by biology, family, community, culture, spirituality, natural environment, society and the wider collective field. Our journey can bring us awareness and joy but it can also challenge and wound us deeply, often constraining our capacity to cope with daily expectations, and contribute to larger complexities around identity, belonging, place, existence, change, and values. Through the co-creation of a caring, compassionate and accepting therapeutic relationship, we will work together in guiding your journey to: "
