Therapists in Toronto, ON

Are you feeling disheartened in your search for the right queer therapist? Does it sometimes feel like therapy is too formal or clinical for you to feel a connection with your therapist? Hi! I’m Karen. I’m a registered social worker and psychotherapist. As a queer woman with lived experience, I know how important it is to create a warm, comfortable and safe space where you can be your authentic self in therapy. Together we can unpack your feelings and experiences and learn some new ways of coping. Let's connect, and move towards a life that feels good for you!

With over 30 years of clinical experience, I welcome Children, Teens, Adults, Couples & Families into my practice who are facing anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, grief, addiction, chronic pain/illness, or stress from relationship conflicts. I specialize in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Relapse Prevention Therapy, and Self-Care which are personalized to your unique circumstance. I also provide a special Couple's Program and a Deeper Healing Program that addresses pain and utilizes strength to repair.

I am passionate about working with folks of all ages and their families to support their journey to explore and get curious about their coping strategies and thinking patterns so they can lead fulfilling lives. I draw on multiple theories and approaches that promote strength, resilience, and wellness. I believe in creating a collaborative, non-judgmental space that meets the individual goals and values of the clients I work with.

In navigating life's challenges, we often construct defenses that, while once protective, now leave us feeling stuck and isolated. Together, we will work to chip away at these accumulated layers and begin to articulate a more authentic and comfortable way of being in the world. My approach is rooted in compassion and understanding, offering a safe haven for healing while encouraging you gently to your full potential. Together, we'll shift from the shadows of criticism, fear and shame to a path illuminated by self-discovery and growth.

I am a culturally sensitive Master's level social worker who is passionate about working with diverse populations and creating a non-judgmental space where each client feels heard, respected, and understood.

I understand that at times, life’s impacts bring stress, worry, frustration, and anxiety. I work to provide clients with the right support, help, and guidance so that they can cope with challenges and re-discover their path to a more fulfilling life.

Emotional pain is an inherent part of the human experience, but you don’t have to go through it alone. In our sessions, we will work through your struggles and together create a clear path for you to feel in control and content with your life. You'll enter a non-judgmental space where you can truly be you, with the ability to express your innermost thoughts and feelings. I will meet you where you are in your journey with acceptance and compassion. I work with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, attachment issues and interpersonal concerns such as work, family, relationships and friendships.

This is your journey and I'm here to offer support, and guidance as you uncover your inner strength to create the life that you desire and deserve and to let of what no longer serves you.

You have tremendous power. The power to define your world, your relationships, your life. The power to be your true self. Yet, life can bring challenges that make us feel powerless. Passion can turn into doubt, fear, and anger. Love and joy can become pain and emptiness. For many of us, no single event alone changes us, but at some point, we find ourselves lost. I believe in the power of hope. I believe you can rediscover your strength, purpose, and sense of control. You can reclaim yourself—your courage, confidence, clarity, creativity, and compassion. I have hope that you can be who you want to be, no matter what comes your way.
