Therapists in M5R

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.

Do you feel lonely, empty, overwhelmed or stuck? Does it seem like bad things are always happening to you while everyone else is living a happy life? Do you and your partner have the same fights over and over again? I can help you resolve these issues. I am a warm, down-to-earth, authentic, honest, and empathic person who genuinely cares about your well-being. I help individuals work through a wide variety of issues including those related to anxiety, depression, obsessionality, trauma, dissociation, guilt, shame, insomnia, relationships, sexual orientation, eating, and identity and self-esteem. I embrace and celebrate diversity.

I am the founder of Amanda Tobe & Associates, a group practice that offers career-focused psychological services. I am a licensed industrial-organizational psychologist based in Toronto. I am passionate about helping people build fulfilling careers, helping people love the work they do and perform their best. The types of goals and challenges I support includes: performance anxiety (incl. speech anxiety), career search support, workplace stress, work-life balance, effective communication (incl. assertiveness, EQ) and performance optimization. I worked 5+ years in talent management and career development prior to pursuing my license.

Our feelings are a compass pointing toward personal growth and movement. I have learned to listen to and respect these feelings and I can help you to do the same. My approach is honed through years of clinical work with children and families. Through this developmental lens, I can help you bring context to your concerns, see unhelpful patterns, and change portions of the picture that don’t serve you so you can show up differently in small moments and in big ones.

Hello and Welcome! My name is Wendy and I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) in both Ontario and British Columbia. I have over 20 years experience working in the social services and mental health fields in a variety of settings. My specialty is assisting individuals, couples, veterans, and military personnel to navigate a wide variety of situations including; Trauma, and Post Traumatic Stress, Intimate Partner Violence, Couples Counseling, Grief/Loss, Self-Care, Anxiety/Depression, Aging and Situational Stress.

The Centre for Psychology and Emotional Health has been providing the highest standard of evidence-based individual and couple therapy since 2003. We are a highly skilled team of psychologists, social workers and registered therapists who are committed to helping people make meaningful changes. Our therapists are compassionate, empathic, and provide a safe therapeutic environment. We treat a wide range of psychological issues including: depression, anxiety, trauma, fears and phobias, relationship injuries and issues, obsessive-compulsive disorder, grief, chronic pain, health issues, stress, and life transitions.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or difficulties managing school or work related stress? My focus is on providing a caring, non-judgmental and safe space for clients to share their stories and work through their challenges. I believe that there is no “one-size-fits-all” method to supporting clients, and trust the client is the expert of their own life. I also understand the importance of developing a collaborative therapeutic relationship and strive to help my clients to recognize their existing strengths, while acknowledging their unique needs, priorities and values.

A Concurrent Disorder occurs when an individual is experiencing a mental health problem and a substance use problem at the same time. As a therapist working with both of these issues, I can support you with enhancing your motivation for change, identifying triggers, regulating emotions and urges, and with relapse prevention planning.

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Is it intolerable to be around people yet painful to be alone? Are you in awe of your own circumstances? If these are some of your thoughts and fears I am here to listen and help. We become powerless and hopeless with our perceived loss of choice. Reaching out can be the first step to untangle the myths that you have created about yourself, others and the world around you. Through sharing and finding a new voice, curiosity can be renewed and with that journey - hope. You no longer have to be held hostage by your feelings, actions, thoughts or relationships. Compassion is key.

I support people navigating life challenges. In our busy world many of us are disconnected from ourselves and what we love more than ever before. Anxiety, depression, traumatic life events, burnout & more impact many I serve and these experiences are exacerbated by disconnection. We can return to connection through exploring our “personal", "familial" and “professional” lives that exist in a cycle of reciprocal influence. Together we can learn to navigate the flow of our experiences while reigniting individual passions & connections to invite optimal ways of being into your life!
