Relational Therapists in Toronto, ON

Finding the right therapist that matches your need can be overwhelming and difficult. If you struggle with anxiety, feelings of worthlessness, low self esteem, psychological trauma, body image issues, or burnout, we may be able to help. My clinic Bloom Psychology & Wellness offers warm, non-judgmental therapy online to individuals, and couples. Connection is important, so we will work closely to explore your resilience, manage strong emotions, develop insight, and strengthen your relationships. Together we can challenge unhelpful beliefs and patterns that may be preventing you from living the life you want.

Welcome! In my practice, I use an integrative approach to meet the unique needs of each client and family I work with.  This includes practicing with a relational, attachment focused, and strengths-based theoretical base, along with an anti-oppressive and trauma-informed framework with clients. I incorporate modalities such as mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. These modalities can help clients gain insight into their circumstances, empower them towards/reach their goals and learn ways to effectively manage life’s challenges.

Your past does not have to define your future. You are not doomed to repeat the same mistakes. You can manage stress, racing thoughts, and overwhelming emotions. Your story is a work in progress, and much is still unwritten. You can heal and grow beyond what you think is possible. You can revise your story to one of healing, hope and joy. I know this because I have healed from my own trauma story. You don’t have to do this alone. Together we will create a safe container where we can journey together. I am dedicated to making this journey with you, to a place of wholeness, healing, connection and transformation.

I work with people experiencing many different hues in the spectrum of being alive. Maybe you are stuck, worried, numb, or furious. Maybe you are feeling alone navigating injustice. Maybe you're trying to make sense of a relationship, or to sift through a murky part of your inner landscape. Whatever you might arrive with, I will stand with you as together we take a slow, deep look into the river of your life.

Clients come to me when they're feeling overwhelmed and exhausted from trying to "keep it together all the time". Often, they're suffering from a combination of burnout, stress, anxiety, depression, fears or low self-esteem. They feel disconnected from themselves and unable to navigate even the simplest of daily challenges. They want support in learning how to reduce the weight of their emotional and physical tensions and regain confidence in their ability to navigate their daily lives.

Welcome and thank you for visiting my page at the Psychology Today site. You may be searching for a therapist for the first time or perhaps you are returning to therapy after some time away; either way you have made a courageous step. Do you feel anxious or scared? Do you feel down or depressed and is it harder to bounce back? Is it a relationship break up or problems? Whatever you may be experiencing, we will sit together in a comfortable office and begin to unravel the issues you want to focus on, in a non-judgemental and gentle environment.

I am a registered psychotherapist and a certified expressive arts therapist. I have been a practicing psychotherapist for over 15 years and am interested in promoting self healing, relationships, growth and change. I have trained extensively in expressive arts, gestalt and developmental somatic psychotherapy and have pursued professional training in emotionally focused couples therapy (EFT), trauma informed therapy, narrative therapy and child and play therapy. I create a safe and interactive therapeutic atmosphere, and work from a resource oriented, somatic awareness based perspective, focussing on both short and long term needs.

Hi! My name is Emily Halperin and I am a Registered Social Worker and Therapist. I work with youth, young adults, and couples, supporting them through a range of emotional and relational challenges. Whether you are looking to unpack experiences that are difficult, build self-compassion, or develop strategies to manage anxiety and stress, I am here to help. In my practice, I aim to support you in exploring your emotional health and well-being. I have a particular interest in working with adults as they navigate relationships and related stressors.

Offering sessions in Russian and English, my main focus is relationships. I work by peeling apart narratives surrounding the issue, educating the couple on the specific tools I used, and how to apply them independently. For individuals, I offer a toolbox of various CBT, SFT, and Narrative Therapy methodology that we collaborate on fitting and applying. After closely exploring ones relational functioning - breakups, tough relationships and family situations, I proceed to focus on immediate needs, with the aim of boosting overall functioning. Lost after trauma, or hurting day after day - If these are your issues, I may be of service.

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. Asking for support is a vulnerable and courageous act. You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, depressed or out of touch with yourself. Or perhaps, you are struggling in your relationships or being held back by issues from the past. Whatever your reason for reaching out, therapy can help you move from feeling stuck to feeling more clear, connected, confident and courageous in your life. Our work together will help you to discover your healing path and offer you a therapeutic relationship that you can rely on to support, inspire and guide you.

I work with teens and adults from across the spectrums of gender, sexuality, and culture who are looking to deepen and bring more compassion to their relationship with themselves and others. You may be struggling with identity, life direction, inner and external conflict, or in understanding where you’re getting stuck in your journey towards happiness and fulfilment. Or, maybe you know where you want to go but are just not sure how to get there. I’ll support you along your path, whatever it is, while honouring your values and experiences.

Making the decision to expand your family is one of life's most difficult transitions. It is a journey that no one should have to undertake alone. Through one-to-one psychotherapy, I support people throughout their perinatal mental health journey including pregnancy planning, infertility, grief, processing labour and delivery, and post-partum transitions.

Often clients struggle with past difficulties encountered during childhood. Many of these painful, even traumatic experiences occur within their family of origin or with peers. As the person enters adulthood and then moves through later milestones, their childhood wounds can hinder present healthy development and interfere with their ability to become their authentic selves. Relational issues emerge as the person seeks intimacy and connection with others. Feelings of loneliness and isolation can result in anxiety and depression because these interpersonal challenges interfere with one's core sense of fulfillment and meaning in life.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience. What I have learned as both a therapist and a client of therapy myself is the immense healing, growth and transformation that can be nurtured in a therapeutic relationship. I am passionate about helping people to understand themselves better and address barriers that are preventing them from living a more easeful life. This may include addressing feelings of anxiety, depression or stuckness; managing stress or big emotions, improving relationships, working through past trauma or self growth. Together, we will draw insight and wisdom from your lived experience.

I offer one-on-one individual sessions for adults and youth navigating themes of depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, grief, sexuality, gender identity, race/racism, childhood trauma, relationships issues, self-worth and harm reduction/substance use. I approach the exploration of healing and trauma processing with a non-linear, non-pathological perspective that recognizes the relationships between systemic oppression, intergenerational trauma, and adaptive survival/coping mechanisms. My hope is to ground our conversations in nuance, sensitivity and curiosity.

It’s often hard to succeed in school and/or at work when we’re struggling with distressing feelings that we can’t seem to understand or manage. I specialize in supporting students and professionals by integrating mental health support with the development of the concrete skills needed to thrive in school, work, and relationships.

I work with people whose struggle with depression, anxiety, low self esteem or addictions is getting in the way of leading a fulfilling life. For many years I have helped individuals who have experienced trauma and suffer from posttraumatic stress disorder. I also work with couples experiencing ruptures in their relationship to help rebuild communication, trust and intimacy . As a family mediator I help couples resolve conflict emerging from separation and divorce.

So many of us have learned to shut down emotions in order to carry on. You may have noticed that this can only last so long. You do not need to have a mental health diagnosis in order to access therapy. All that is needed is the desire for personal and relational growth. We heal via safe re-connection with other humans - your story deserves to be listened to.
