Online Counselling for Toronto

Life has not been easy on many of us but there is always hope and there is always help, we just need to look for it. My goal is to be a supportive facilitator of change and help clients lead the lives they aspire to lead and help them overcome obstacles hindering their path to leading fulfilling lives . My approach to therapy is judgement-free, acceptance-valued, and culturally responsive.

Having a hard time because of big life changes? Feeling unsure if you can handle everything and feeling burnt out? Feeling like your relationships with others could be better? Not happy in your career path or parenting skills? Do you feel unsupported by your romantic partner? Like they're not giving enough? I can help you understand and change the way you attach to others, shift your automatic responses, and discover what's stopping you from moving forward.

Hi my name is Constantine. I truly feel privileged helping you become "unstuck", through encouragement towards positive life changes, realization of potential and accomplishment of achievable goals. You are in the driver's seat and I am right beside you helping navigate through your unique journey towards self-discovery. It will be up to you where you want to go, how far and at what pace. My job will be to listen, and when you're ready I will act as a guide, suggesting possible options and interpretations along the way. If this sounds like what you're looking for, let's connect today!

Guys have way more going on emotionally than most of us are comfortable talking about. If you have never talked to someone about whatever it is that you probably should talk to someone about, then I may be the guy for you. Some men come to my office after they've recently broken up with their girlfriend (or she has broken up with him). Some are dealing with anxiety or are living under the influence of depression. Some guys are trying to figure out who they really are and what to do with their life. What they all have in common is that they have strengths to draw on and want to advance in life feeling better than they do now.

Are you feeling trapped in your pain, yearning for someone who truly understands you? Do you find yourself overwhelmed, lonely, and desperately searching for a way out? Or perhaps you are grappling with deep-seated insecurities and struggling with a lack of self-worth that debilitates you? Whether you are facing grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, faith detachment, relationship difficulties or family discord, I am here to guide and support you, helping you rediscover your inner-strength and resilience, reclaim your narrative, and find joy and fulfillment in your life.

Maybe you're here because you are struggling in your primary relationship; having the same old arguments with your partner, feeling disconnected & longing for more intimacy, or dealing with a difficult life event, such as a betrayal. Perhaps you're looking for help because you are feeling stressed out, anxious, and are tired of being so hard on yourself. Or maybe you're having a difficult time relating to family members or friends - unresolved tension with parents, feeling at sea with how to relate to your kids, or not feeling like you can relax & be yourself around others. The focus of my work is helping people with relationships.

I am a registered psychotherapist- I call myself the "kitchen sink" of therapy. If you don't feel like traditional therapy is for you, then I work with you to find what is for you. I specialize in: Trauma, PTSD, BPD, CPTSD, youth, anxiety and depression. I am Queer-LGBTQ2S- non-gender conforming. I look at therapy as a path towards healing, with a holistic approach towards health and mental wellness.​ Trauma-informed expressive therapy is based on bringing what is unconscious to conciousness in a safe way and finding containers that work with you to help you process and unpack in order to heal.

I feel grateful for the opportunity to offer my clients a safe and collaborative space where they can feel heard, supported and validated. In facing such difficult times, there is a need now more than ever to ensure we take care of our Mental Health. Each client has their own subjective experiences that deserve the chance to be explored and met with empathy. Together we can practice a way of coping that works specifically for you, and your needs. Feel free to reach out at: alyssa.truerootstherapy@gmail.com

Now accepting new clients! Let's get to the root of what you are experiencing. If you are feeling stuck, hurt, lonely, unsatisfied, or confused; you are not alone. I am here. Allow me to be an empathetic and transparent support for you. I offer a free, fifteen minute phone consultation for us to connect prior to our session.

Does anxiety run your life? Are you always ready and waiting for the other shoe to drop? You fear that you won’t be able to cope and worry that you’ll lose control of your thoughts, emotions, and actions. Maybe you feel stuck in the past, haunted by painful experiences; churning over the same thoughts and images again and again. Imagine moving out of survival mode; being excited about life and feeling motivated by joy and not fear. Imagine being able to put the past behind you, and living fully in the present. You don't have to struggle alone. With compassion and authenticity, I am honoured to join you on your healing journey!

Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? Can't stop thinking about the past or catastrophizing the future? I can help you overcome your anxiety or depression. I also work with clients who are experiencing relationship difficulties, trauma, insomnia or specific phobias. My goal is never to change who YOU are but help YOU change how you respond to your environment and to practice self-compassion/acceptance. I won't ask you to do anything that I haven't tried myself or isn't backed by scientific research. Finding the right therapist is the first step, book a free meet and greet to see if we're the right fit for one another!

Specialize in ADHD/anxiety/depression/trauma. Are you living your best life? Do you sometimes feel anxious, confused, or frustrated about things going on in your life? Are you ready to change your life for the better? Do you need parenting support or family therapy? I help adolescents, young adults, adults and family systems become more at peace with their life, grow and strive for happiness. I will help you go from just being, to being great. In all aspects of my life, empathy, compassion and kindness are centre to my relationships allowing me to accept people for who they are and where they are in their life.

Life is nothing short of amazing. It's amazing how much we can go through and live to tell about it. It's amazing how fast kids grow up and time flies, how angry a co-worker can make you, how much compassion we can seem to have for others when we struggle to offer any to ourselves. It's amazing how much we put on our plates when all we need is to rest. It's amazing how much we can long for understanding and connection and how much opportunity can be missed right in front of our eyes. It's amazing how short life is. It's also amazing how much we can learn in the time we have, and how little steps can amount to such massive change.

I welcome individuals, couples and families who identify as heterosexual or LGBTQ+. In session, we focus on emotions and how to create safety, trust and confidence in your interactions with family members, significant others, colleagues and friends. I welcome clients from diverse cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds. I can offer therapy in Farsi, Italian, German and English. I also have a working knowledge of French.

** Specializing in Fertility, Pregnancy, Baby Loss, Postpartum, Parenting, NICU, Prematurity, High-Risk Pregnancy, Birth Trauma, TFMR, Medical Trauma, Parenting a Child with Medical Needs***

Do you feel overwhelmed? Are you constantly worrying about what you have to do next? Are you having difficulties believing in yourself? Do you feel like you are stuck in life? I have found that these are common concerns that clients experience before accessing psychotherapy. I am here to work with you, at your own pace, to increase your awareness and agency. I believe that the psychotherapy journey begins with being heard, seen, understood, and accepted. From here, self-acceptance, self-awareness, and self-growth are inevitable.

The ability to have direction over our own lives is a common need we all share. We want to be at the helm, steering our own ship and making decisions for ourselves. Yet, life can throw us curve balls, shaking our confidence and leaving us questioning where to turn. If you want to make lasting change but don’t know where to start, I can help. I am a Registered Social Worker (MSW, RSW) and Psychotherapist practicing in Toronto. I have spent the last 15 years of my 35-year career helping adults and couples achieve their goals; walk through life more intentionally; and cultivate the quality relationships they desire.

My clients are ready to do the heartwork required to overcome hardship & forge a positive path for the future. Many of my clients come to my associates and me for support to heal from trauma and to navigate the justice system. I am passionate about healthy relationships (starting with self-love) & I teach individuals, couples, families, and professionals new strategies for clear & honest communication. I use EMDR and other interventions to help you move from surviving to thriving, and from Post-Traumatic Stress to Post-Traumatic Growth. I also provide trauma-informed education & consulting to journalists, lawyers, police & leaders.

If you are just tired of giving and caring for everyone around you except for yourself, you’ve come to the right place. I come from a teaching background where students and duties came first. As a child of immigrant parents and currently a military spouse, I have also experienced increased stress due to frequent relocations and living far away from family and friends. A common block to getting much-needed help and support is the belief that self-care is selfish. The thing is by slowing down and taking care of your own emotional and mental needs you will be able to offer so much more to the world!
