If today seems like an interminable day, and sets the stage for a profound apprehension for tomorrow, whether individually, within your couple or your family; it is maybe time to consult. Whomever you choose, be sure to be comfortable and feel safe.

Relief from anxiety is very much within your grasp! Anxiety is a terrible and hopeless feeling. You overthink everything and find yourself lost in a never ending cycle of negative thoughts and scenarios. You feel drained, helpless, devoid of happiness, and wondering if “better” is ever possible? The answer is yes!

My approach is based on listening, understanding and activation. Listen to understand and propel you into change. I use three basic approaches: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy ( EFT ) and Mindfulness. I integrate other modalities when necessary. CBT: to discover the thoughts and beliefs that affect your emotions and behaviors. EFT : to help you stop avoiding emotions and use them as carriers of information essential to your mental health. Mindfulness to bring a different way of being in the world, deal with stress and develop a dynamic relationship with your environment.

Do you know anyone who is Sad? Anxious? Stressed? Angry? Struggling at School or Work? Feeling unconnected with a partner?

I am a psychotherapist and a licensed couple and family therapist. I was the winner of the award for clinical excellence for couple and family therapy from McGill University 2019. I received a Master's in psychology in 2009. My main area of focus is trauma and how it impacts adult individuals and couples. I understand that right now you may feel that as though you have too much on your plate and that you are struggling to balance all of life's demands. I believe that many people do not take the time to focus on themselves and invest in their emotional well- being.

If you are suffering from psychological, emotional or interpersonal issues and feel too confused or overwhelmed to make any changes, I can help you. We work as a team to help you resolve your issues.

I offer you new sets of skills and help you to explore new perspectives, not only to overcome your problems but also to increase your resilience and create more meaning and happiness in your life.

I am a licensed psychotherapist who works with adults experiencing difficulties related to stress, emotions, relationships, and adjustment to challenging life transitions, such as parenthood, divorce, or loss of a loved one.

Hi, my name is Dr. Dan Tao. Life can be challenging for all of us at times. I’m here to witness your pain, and together, we will find a path forward.

The familiar saying based on an ancient Chinese proverb "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step" is one which, to my mind invites us to reflect on our past and on our future. Perhaps your particular life's journey is not yet taking you in a fulfilling or rewarding direction. A painful family past, issues of loss, relationship conflicts, struggles with your teen, are just some types of setbacks which may leave you feeling anxious, sad, exhausted, hopeless or helpless. Today is a new day. The one in which you take that first important step toward transforming your life journey into one of meaningful growth and change.

I am a Psychotherapist, Clinical Social Worker, Clinical Supervisor and licensed Couple and Family Therapist with over 30 years experience. I understand that acknowledging a need for therapy may not be easy. The thought of confronting painful situations and relationships, past or present, may cause discomfort and anxiety. My hope is that in working together, I will be able to ease you through a difficult and challenging process; one which will help you to create healthier pathways to more functional and satisfying relationships, along with an enhanced sense of meaning in your life.

I aim to provide a collaborative, non-judgmental, open and warm space for clients while adapting my approach to each individual’s needs. In working together, I accompany and support clients in understanding the source of their difficulties, their needs and intensions for the work. I value the relationship between client and therapist and believe it is important for the client’s success in working through various issues. I will listen to you attentively with an empathetic ear and am here to help.
