Therapists in Toronto, ON

Seeing a therapist can be both daunting & exciting. Being vulnerable with someone, let alone a stranger, is tough for many. My hope with all individuals is to provide them with a safe space, that is comfortable & healing. My office is judgment-free & I am here to best support those willing to seek growth & change. What to expect when first seeing me? Relief & hope. I am aware that so many people want to be heard & validated, especially those in difficult relationships. I also believe that people enter therapy feeling stuck. We will shift between your past & present, identifying negative beliefs that continue to challenge you.

Life can be overwhelming at times! The stresses and traumas in life could lead to depression, anxiety, and feeling stuck amongst others. Seeking help from a mental health professional takes courage and willingness. Finding the right fit to help you with life's challenges is important. I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic environment to help you process your personal difficulties to enhance your strengths. My approach is client-centred and will collaboratively work with you to promote self-awareness, develop new perspective and insight, and new ways of coping.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a relationship with each client that gives space to explore the impact of external stories and your internal worlds. I work mostly with neurodivergent individuals – people who self-identify as Autistic, ADHD, gifted, highly sensitive etc. – with interest in navigating the harmful impact of dominant social norms. My approaches are borrowed from Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Schema Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Mindfulness and Religion, with some influence from CBT and Art Therapy.

As an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed therapist, I am passionate about creating safer spaces through human-to-human collaboration and will move at your pace on your journey of self-discovery and healing.

Rosalyn followed in her father’s footsteps when she entered the field of social work. For her family, the apple didn’t fall far and Rosalyn grew up idolizing the work her father did, appreciating the therapeutic relationships he built with his clients. As Rosalyn completed her education and started working, she began to relate to the joy her father experienced from his work, which continues to be the driving factor in her practice.

Have others' expectations shaped how your life is? Do you feel stuck and not able to be who you want to be? Do you feel anxious or uncertain about your relationships? Do you frequently feel sad? Has a recent event created a sense of imbalance in your life? As a psychotherapist, I aim to use my own lived experiences and education to accompany you on the path to reclaiming and living the life that you want.

All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming (Helen Keller). I am a psychoanalyst and offer treatment for anxiety, depression, stress, loss, grief, low self-esteem/confidence and shyness. I specialize in issues arising from adult and childhood trauma, relationships with family or colleagues, life transitions of any form and gender identity. I believe it is equally important to work on our inner and outer selves and to include our past and present in order to develop a grounded and balanced sense of being. I provide a safe environment in-person or virtually where you can explore and develop your thoughts further.

Parenting is hard; the lived experience of a child/youth can be hard too. Sometimes, understanding each others' perspectives can be challenging. My aim is to bridge this gap and help families work together, rather than against each other. Thinking about how you can enhance your family's overall mental health? Consider how therapy can support your family in moving towards positive change. A non-judgmental and outside perspective can help your family really listen to each other, consider differing perspectives in a new way, and offer unique strategies to direct you towards your goals.

If you're experiencing challenges with your sense of self, your relationships, or your emotional life, perhaps I can help. Together we'll search for a more complete and holistic understanding for why you're feeling the way you're feeling, and what may be fueling your emotional responses and needs. Therapy can be transformative, helping to shift the lens through which we see ourselves and the world to one that might offer us more compassion, hope, permission to explore new or more compatible directions, and encouragement so we can feel better.

I work with couples and individuals providing in-person therapy as well as virtual therapy which have been exceedingly popular as it provides more flexibility in today's culture. In couples therapy I incorporate gottman theory, emotionally focused therapy (EFT) and attachment therapy. I work with individuals suffering from various anxiety disorders, as well as depression, suicidality and grief related to infertility. I have an eclectic approach, incorporating cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques as well as pulling from different theoretical orientations such as attachment theory and motivational interviewing techniques.

How do you find hope? You've got a lot on your plate, and you've likely become accustomed to juggling many responsibilities with grace and competence. People around you have come to expect a lot from you, and you've often risen to the occasion. However, there are moments when everything just becomes overwhelmingly heavy. You may feel like you're barely staying afloat despite your best efforts, when what you truly desire is to move forward to a better place.

In the midst of major life transitions, many are looking to better manage elevated levels of stress, anxiety, depression, fear and loneliness. In my practice, I help clients to become 'directors' of their own experience and to understand how behaviours that were once part of creatively adjusting to past environments may be interfering with their ability to function fully in the present moment. I help clients deepen into calm and return to a sense of aliveness within.

There is no ideal client. No two people are the same and come from the experience even if two people experienced the same event, one's perceptions of the event will always vary from another persons. Wanting to better yourself and those around you shows me that you want change and coming into therapy tells me already that you are looking for that change.
