Therapists in Toronto, ON

My name is Lisa and I am a registered Occupational Therapist. I offer OT services for individuals with ADHD, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and other mental health symptoms. As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, I understand some of the challenges of navigating mental health services and academic spaces without tailored support. In my work, I provide tailored OT services to support you in areas such as; managing mental health symptoms, staying organized, starting tasks, implementing and maintaining routines, and completing daily tasks at home/ work/ school.

Each of us are beautifully unique and it is my pleasure to support the unfolding and exploration of my clients’ ways of being. I’m curious about what is important to you and how you are experiencing your life. We can take note of and honour the patterns that have brought you this far in life and create more space for choice and freedom. Practicing Gestalt psychotherapy I work with a trauma-informed lens, experimentation, playfulness and reconnection to the body and spirit to cultivate support for your vitality and understanding of yourself.

If you are searching for a respectful and non-judgmental couples therapist, chances are you've been struggling for a while, just hoping things will get better on their own. My work is focused on couples conflict, relational trauma, and sexuality concerns. Whether the problem is infidelity or another traumatic event, lack of interest in sex, drifting apart in your relationship, or constant bickering and rehashing old arguments, the problems facing you as a couple can be overwhelming. It's natural to feel vulnerable and at the same time yearn for a safe place to talk it out with someone who can help.

Throughout life we necessarily craft intricate maps for moving through the systems that shape our world, expertly guiding ourselves through the ups and downs of ambiguity, trauma, unpredictability, and change. But what happens when our comprehensive structures stop serving us? And how do we move forward when they stop suppressing our pain? Feeling at odds with our trusted narratives and methods is an unfamiliar and exhausting experience, and my goal is to help you move towards the parts of yourself that feel dark and untouchable—a process that, over time, softens feelings of fear and shame.

My mission is to help you create a healthy, peaceful, productive, joyful, and fulfilled life that you love. My specialties are: stress/burnout, life transitions, career coaching, and resolving struggles connected to racial, ethnic, cultural, gender or sexual identities. Together we will work to identify and reduce triggers/sources of stress, shift your mindset, and design and implement personalized strategies that build resilience and coping skills, create healthy boundaries, and support a life and/or career of your own design in which you grow and thrive. Let this summer be the summer you change your life!

Are you experiencing anxiety or panic? Do you feel depressed and overwhelmed with sadness? Are you having relationship issues, or has an important relationship just ended? I can help with that. I have the tools you need that can help you to feel better so you can take your life back. I have been where you are, and I want to help you so you don’t have to suffer anymore. It can feel like a struggle to get out of bed, to interact with others, or to go to school or work. It can be hard to take that first step. In your complimentary phone session, you will be heard, and greeted with gentle compassion, non-judgement, comfort and empathy.

I am a clinical psychologist who provides in person and virtual therapy to adults wherever they are along the mental health continuum. Using science-based approaches combined with your lived experience, my hope is to facilitate growth, joy, and agency towards your life worth living, as defined by you. A portion of my work is with athletes and para athletes experiencing mental health concerns. My interest in these populations stems from personal experience as a high performance athlete and the ups/downs related to injury and retirement.

With over 15 years of social service and criminal justice experience, I appreciate the complexities and diversity that each of us bring to therapy. I seek to create an environment that encourages curiosity, collaboration and growth as we navigate your unique circumstances. My therapeutic style is client-centered and solutions-focused, drawing from evidenced-based and trauma-informed practices that honour the entirety of an individual and their lived experiences. My modalities of practice include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and more.

Are you feeling stuck, unmotivated, anxious, depressed, lonely, frustrated, or angry? Have you ever been told that you are too hard on yourself? Do you have self-defeating thoughts? If so, I can relate, and it would be my pleasure to work with you and provide you with guidance and a beacon of hope on this journey of self-discovery. Welcome. My name is Jason, and I am a bilingual psychotherapist. I strive to create a warm, safe, and inviting non-judgmental space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood.

You are not your problem, and you have what it takes to live the life you want. It may be hard to see now because your experiences have taught you otherwise. You may feel like you’re stuck in a loop. You want to break through it, but negative thoughts, anxiety and maybe an unprocessed past or trauma are in the way. It can be very exhausting, frustrating and lonely. I wish we had a magic wand to make that all disappear, but it’ll take some work. Together, we can explore who your authentic self is, understand what is in the way, and put our discovery into practice to create a shift from surviving to living and thriving.

The many milestones and transitions, expected and unexpected, that we experience in life are often made heavier and more overwhelming by the layers of expectation, preconceptions, and outside pressure that can accompany them. The idea that you’re supposed to follow a certain path, make a certain choice, or even have a certain reaction can dominate the experience of navigating any challenge. Therapy can help to identify and illuminate these external factors and make it possible to access your true feelings, hopes, and intentions, providing a non-judgemental and compassionate space where you can be heard, seen, and understood.

Each of us has a unique story to tell. That story captures the who, what, where, when, and why of our formative experiences and begins early on, when we are the most vulnerable. Many of us have learned to bottle it up. This “bottleneck” hardly leaves us feeling secure within ourselves or recognized by others. At some juncture, you may have rightfully tried speaking your truth to someone “safe.” But, instead of receiving empathy and compassion, you were ignored, belittled, pitied. Ultimately, the feeling of being heard, understood and accepted is crucial for overall wellbeing. It paves the way for a life full of meaning and purpose.

Please note I offer secure video counselling and therapy, and do not offer in-person appointments at this time. Most concerns can be effectively addressed via video. Effective, understanding therapy utilizing an integrative approach is what I can offer. Many people who reach out to me are feeling highly stressed, are anxious, or may feel lost, down and helpless about how to address their issues. Our sessions together are designed to help you address your emotional or behaviour concerns, and help you find the tools to live your life better. I believe that good therapy has to fit you and what you need, not the other way around.

I'm not broken, just bent - as the wise Pink once said. We are never truly "broken," just human. Each of our unique experiences, traumas, biology, and environment have all played a role in shaping our current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. And the good news is, meaningful and lasting change is possible for everyone. When we work together, we'll start by gaining an understanding of what brought you to therapy. From there, we'll dive deeper, uncovering the underlying patterns and root causes behind your struggles. My approach blends evidence-based modalities like EMDR with the wisdom of the body, mind, and spirit.

If you've experienced sexual abuse (rape, childhood sexual abuse, harassment) it's likely you noticed changes in how you think, feel and act. Maybe you believe that you deserve what happened or that there was something you should have done to stop it. You may see the world as a dangerous place and people as untrustworthy. You're likely on edge, hypervigilant and feel out of control of your emotions - or maybe you don't feel them at all. You can't sleep, relationships are difficult, you feel haunted by your memories, sex and intimacy aren't as they used to be, and it feels like nothing you've tried works. This is trauma.

It takes courage to consider therapy. You may be pondering about the "what ifs" or infinite questions regarding therapy and your journey. You might be asking yourself, "will it be worth it?", "will she understand me and my goals?", "do I need therapy if I am not in a crisis?" or other thoughts that might increase the feeling of uncertainty. By becoming familiar with me and the services that I provide, we can subside the uncertainty.

Welcome. My name is Hadassah. For the past fifteen years, my clinical practice has focused on supporting women with severe and enduring eating disorders and complex/developmental trauma. I have seen my clients persevere and overcome. You are the expert of your own experience. I know that an eating disorder can steal parts of your life. My goal is to collaboratively work with you to reclaim meaning and purpose in your life. I believe there is always hope and possibility for growth and change. My therapeutic approach is person-centred, compassion focused, and trauma informed.

My practice includes children, adolescents, couples and adults and I work collaboratively with their parents and families to form client centered and evidenced based solutions. My focus is on helping young people and adults to overcome obstacles and to learn the coping skills that they need to succeed. I work with a range of issues including eating disorders, trauma, compassion fatigue, PTSD, anxiety and depression.

I believe in people before problems. My view is that we have abilities to overcome challenges, even when they seem insurmountable. What often stops us from living our lives the way we want to, is getting caught up by the problem, rather than finding solutions. I don’t shy away from problem talk, but I also encourage space for finding what works to live a more fulfilling life.

In my practice, I strive to create a safe, compassionate and understanding space. I strongly believe that effective therapy is rooted in a strong therapeutic relationship and will take time to develop this with you. I also believe in working in collaboration with you to ensure we are starting and pacing sessions based on your comfort and needs.
