Therapists in M5P

There are times when life gets hard, messy or shaken up, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, or lost reckoning with somethings we didn’t expect to. There are also times when we simply get that nagging feeling that there’s something we want to address, and maybe start to feel curious about what healing can be for us. In this space I welcome working with different experiences, however big or small, present or past. Sometimes this may look like anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, impact of trauma, navigating relationships, sense of self (self-worth, self-love, inadequacy, etc.), student life, life transitions and loss.

As a Christian woman, it’s hard navigating your experiences of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Your pain and suffering makes you question “If God is good, then why hasn’t he healed me? Is there something wrong with me? Do I not have enough faith?” Maybe past painful experiences of abuse or neglect haunt you and you can’t seem to forgive and move on. Depression and anxiety feel out of your control leaving you scared and hopeless. You pray and pray and pray and it doesn’t stop. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help as you hoped. You desire and need the peace promised in the bible but it feels so far away.

Every day is another chance to change your life. Do you feel all alone with your problems? Hold painful feelings inside? Wish you could talk to someone? Do you ask yourself: How can I find happiness in my life? How can my partner and I work through our problems? How can I find a lasting and fulfilling relationship? I work with individuals, couples and families. I provide a calm, safe, nurturing environment for you to grow, change and heal. I offer support as you build on your strengths and continue to move forward in your life.

In my years of practice, my focus has been centred around individuals from different walks of life (i.e race, religion, gender, sexual orientation etc). Particularly, ones who have trauma, body image issues, low self esteem, fibromyalgia, phobias and/or are anxious, depressed, stressed, destructive, angry, lonely, abused and in or have been in the child welfare system. In regards to my approach, I am genuine and compassionate, but remain equally honest and direct. Rather than bombarding clients with endless questions, I aim to engage them through meaningful methods and effective interventions.

For the past 15 years I have worked with youth and families who are struggling with a variety of mental health issues or relationship difficulties. Often the clients I support are families who are experiencing conflict, whose members are feeling disconnected or teenagers and young adults who are struggling with intense emotions and engaging in behaviours that are concerning to themselves or their caregivers. I work well with people who are interested in transforming themselves and their relationships rather than those who are focused on symptom reduction alone. In addition, I work with adults who have experienced childhood trauma.

Have you been seeking relief from feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, and anxiety? Maybe you've been experiencing burnout or succumbing to the pressures of perfectionism. If you are looking for a space to slow down, better understand yourself, and improve your mood and outlook on life, then I want to work with you. I strongly believe in the power of self-awareness and gaining insight into our experiences, feelings, and behaviours. My aim is to walk with you through self-discovery and growth, and provide a safe, collaborative, and creative space to explore and take steps towards uncovering your inner resources and authentic self.

I work with high performing founders, executives, teams & pro athletes. I will help you identify how your mindset is affecting your productivity and work performance. I'll teach you how to get in charge of your emotional state, how to recover faster from setbacks and how to shift from self-doubt to confidence. I can also help your team handle stress, navigate conflict and maintain cohesion so they can get the job done under pressure.

Schuler Sports Performance is a highly specialized, clinically comprehensive private clinic. Sports Performance services are offered to youth, young adults and pro-athletes and their families in Toronto and across Ontario. We are a multidisciplinary performance service made-up of psychology, social work, child and youth care, and psychiatry support. We teach concepts and strategies that allow athletes to manage high-performance moments and win!

Life can be a struggle at times; it's part of the journey of being human. Are you feeling stressed and thinking about seeking psychotherapy? I am a Toronto, Ontario psychologist with 20+ years of experience, with a clinical focus on adults (anxiety, depression, pregnancy, post-partum, parenting issues, high achieving perfectionistic professionals, difficulties with life-work balance, impact on self-esteem), university students, adolescents and families (of all ages). As a clinician I strive to bring warmth, kindness and humour to the therapeutic dialogue, hoping to create a safe, respectful, collaborative and supportive environment.

I provide psychotherapy and counselling to clients who struggle with anxiety and depression which can often be a result of unresolved past trauma, relationship or work stress and confidence issues. Are you a highly achieving individual who struggles with self esteem? Does this affect your work performance, interpersonal relationships and ultimately takes away from your ability to enjoy life? If so, we will work together to help you understand yourself on a deeper level, change unhelpful thinking patterns, identify strengths, build coping skills and move towards professional and personal success.

For more than 30-years, I have specialized in the assessment and treatment of children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced various mental health concerns. In addition, I provide assessment and counselling in the area of parent-child/adolescent issues; father-son conflict; youth addictions (sexual and substance abuse), court involved/at risk youth; and issues related to adolescent depression, disordered eating, and self-injury. I also work in the area of men's health, addressing such issues as depression and anger management; trauma; addictions; fatherhood; and martial/relationship counselling.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges, struggling to navigate through difficult emotions, or simply seeking a safe space to explore and grow? I'm Jamie, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the CRPO, and I'm here to support you on your journey towards healing and self-discovery. In my practice, I truly believe you have the inherent resilience and self-knowledge to overcome your difficulties; what may be missing is a supportive and empathetic environment in which you can feel safe enough to explore these parts of yourself.

Life is a process and journey that takes us in several different directions; sometimes we come to a crossroads where we must reconsider the direction our life is taking. Navigating the countless opportunities and challenges in life can often be overwhelming. In my practice, I work with you to explore options and possibilities for change; I believe that knowing you have choices in your life can foster hope and confidence in reaching your desired goals. As a trained Mental Health Practitioner and Addiction Specialist my areas of specialty include addictions, trauma, mood and anxiety disorders and interpersonal conflict.

As humans, we all face challenges in life, both internal and external. But by actively working to confront and overcome these challenges, we can create a life that is meaningful and fulfilling. Emotional hardships are tough, but they can be overcome through self-exploration and healing, which can lead to a deep sense of purpose and authenticity. With proper guidance and mentorship, this process can be navigated with grace and self-acceptance.

On the outside, you look like you've got it altogether. On the inside, you feel anything but. Your thoughts are racing, disorganized, overwhelming, and you don't know how to make them stop. It's the bad kind of familiar and you can't believe you're back here again, or still stuck. Maybe you've even tried therapy before and it didn't work. I can help. I work to make therapy fit YOU and not the other way around. My approach is holistic, strengths-based, and grounded in therapeutic approaches supported by evidence and extensive training. While there's no magic bullet, personalized therapy is the best kind of help.

If you are suffering from feelings of anxiety or depression, which can happen for so many reasons, then I would like to help you. I am an experienced and dedicated psychotherapist. In order to deepen my understanding and expertise I am also an analytic candidate at the Toronto Institute for Contemporary Psychoanalysis. I am particularly experienced and interested in working with members of LGBT community, arts workers, those caring for aging parents, those considering midlife change of direction. My office is located at the Spadina subway.

Sometimes life can become overwhelming. In the midst of the many challenges we face, it can be difficult to remember that it is okay to feel confused, frustrated, angry, sad, or apathetic. As a Registered Psychotherapist (RP), my approach is client-centred. I assist people with discovering and accepting all the unique aspects of themselves, encouraging self-care and to speak freely without fear of judgement. The simple act of sharing our experiences and trials in our lives in a safe, comfortable space can help to begin the healing process.

Are you a mom of a baby or toddler and feeling overwhelmed by the enormity of parenthood? Are you feeling frustrated with one of your children and unsure where to take this thought for fear of being judged? Are you desperately trying to break cycles of abuse and having trouble understanding your triggers? Or maybe none of this applies, but you are a mom wanting support . Either way, I would love to chat.

I am a psychoanalyst and have been a psychotherapist for the past 14 years. My practice is trauma-informed, collaborative, anti-oppressive, multicultural, multiracial, multiethnic, and spans sexual orientation, gender identity, economic status and religious affiliation. My perspective is psychoanalytic but we are all different so I don't limit my approach. I am also trained in CBT and EFT. I am warm, empathetic, nonjudgemental and hope to work with you to create movement in your life. My areas of expertise include depression and other mood disorders, anxiety disorders, addiction, trauma.
