Therapists near Bracondale Hill helping Lgbtq with Chronic Illness

I’m glad that you’ve found your way to this profile and I wish you the best in your search for the right person. I have two sayings that I find quite useful when starting therapy. 1. You can’t think your way into right action, you have to act your way into right thinking. 2. There are no shortcuts, yet, there are many solutions! As a therapist, my fundamental goal is to help and encourage you to look at the difficult parts of your life that are holding you back, while simultaneously helping you to cultivate the skills to live your life in a manner that is mentally healthy and purpose driven. I work with people struggling with addiction (specializing in cannabis), anxiety, depression and those having difficulty in their marriage or settling into a committed relationship. I also like to help people who feel lost in their life or who feel unfulfilled by their current profession and who hope to bring more meaning into their lives. I incorporate my skills as a mindfulness teacher into our sessions. I am a father, a husband, and the founder of a consultancy business specializing in k-12 education and workplace mental health. The therapeutic approaches that I generally use are ACT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy CBT, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy MSC – Mindful Self-Compassion Here are some questions to consider whether or not you are ready to begin the journey to healing and well-being. I am ready and willing to make changes in my life I am looking to bring more purpose and meaning to my life I am ready to be more honest with myself I am ready to be more honest with others I know I can’t do this on my own, (because nobody does) My relationships are suffering as a result of my situation My work life is suffering as a result of my situation I am ready to live my life in a way that helps me feel more joy and contentment If this resonates with you, I think we can do some great work together. Take it easy, peace

At Kat Kova Therapy, we offer in-person and remote sessions and offer our specialized help in sex and relationship therapy to help people create healthier and more satisfying relationships and intimate lives. If you landed here, know that you are not alone-research shows that individuals and couples/relationship partners struggle to maintain relationship and sexual satisfaction over time. About 60% of all therapy-seeking couples report sexual dissatisfaction along with relationship dissatisfaction and 48.5% of couples seeking therapy report sexual issues as their primary reason for seeking relationship therapy. Of all couple and martial therapy programs in North America, only 8% require a stand-alone course in sexuality, and only 22% of psychotherapists ask their clients about sexuality (i.e., most report discomfort with or inadequacy in discussing sexual issues). But not to worry-we have the built-in solution to this problem at our practice! We are the 2024 Canadian Choice winner of marriage counsellors because we go above and beyond to make sure our therapists have a deep understanding and effectiveness in treating a wide range of sex and relationship concerns (e.g., communication, erectile dysfunction, sexual desire, orgasm difficulties, etc.) by offering continuing education to our therapists (e.g., intensive sex therapy training, sex and relationship-related workshops, supervision and resources). We also offer clinical internships to students completing their psychotherapy programs on-site with generous supervision in sex and relationship therapy. This allows us to offer therapy with our interns at a low-cost to those in need (because no couple should fight about both sex, and money). We are looking forward to personally matching you with one of our therapists today (most clients are able to secure an appointment within 24 hours of booking)! References: Emond, M., Byers, E.

Maybe you feel like life is just this thing that is happening to you, which you have no control over, and the anxiety and depression that accompanies these thoughts is becoming unbearable.

What if I told you that the person who holds the answers to your problems is actually you? Working together, you and I can re-author a new chapter in your story, infused with strength, resilience, and hope.

As an experienced psychologist, I work with high performing founders, executives, teams & pro athletes. I help my clients identify how their minds are sabotaging their mental game. I teach them how to get in charge of their emotional state, how to recover faster from setbacks and how to shift from self-doubt to complete confidence. I also help teams handle stress, navigate conflict and maintain cohesion so they can get the job done under pressure. I am a registered clinical psychologist with the College of Psychologists of Ontario and the Ontario Psychological Association. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Stellenbosch University and a Graduate Certificate in Sport Psychology from John F. Kennedy School of Psychology at National University. I am the Director of The Mental Game Clinic. Our clinic integrates clinical psychology and sport/performance psychology. We are a team of registered psychologists, psychotherapists, social workers and mental performance consultants. We work collaboratively with our clients supporting them to achieve their goals for therapy, life and their careers.

We all have natural capacities to right ourselves when things go wrong. But we usually don't feel that way when we're looking for therapy. Instead we feel stuck and alone, overwhelmed by our feelings and unsatisfied in our relationships. I work with people who want to get unstuck and connect to their innate capacities for growth and change. My main goal is to help people have a positive and true experience of themselves and deeper connections with others.

My practice is built on the understanding that a safe and authentic space to express feelings and get curious about ourselves is essential for our well-being and growth. Through collaborative conversation, I aim to help you get underneath your experiences to deepen self understanding and carve out new pathways toward freedom, joy, and more meaning.

Welcome. I provide counselling and psychotherapy services to individuals and families. My practice is located in Toronto. I have 30 years experience providing counselling to individuals and families engaging with a wide range of issues and concerns. I have experience with parenting and relationship issues, mid-life transitions such as menopause and career changes, anxiety and depression, grief and loss, and addictions. I am a Registered Social Worker with a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Toronto. I am committed to ongoing learning and professional development and have postgraduate certifications in Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), Children’s Grief and Bereavement, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Much of my practice over the years has focused on working with parents addressing concerns related to the various stages of childrearing from newborns and the postpartum period through to teenagers and everything in between. For over twenty years, I worked at community mental health agencies in Toronto serving youth, families and parents. I have experience navigating health and mental health systems and organizations. I also have experience working with families with high conflict, communication breakdown, and separation and divorce. I am a parent and step-parent myself and have learned much from my own family about the importance of patience, humility, and humour – all of which I bring to my practice. My counselling practice is firmly rooted in a feminist anti-racist anti-oppressive framework. I consider the impacts of the social determinants of health on mental well-being and my practice emphasizes client choice, self-determination, and harm reduction.

Talk therapy, you might be surprised where it can take you. Assisting individuals, couples and families facing various challenges for many years, I offer both brief and longer term therapy. Whether your concern is about stress, loss, chronic pain, relationship difficulties or diagnosed disorder (anxiety, depression, bipolar, ADD/ADHD etc.), I will work to support you to better understand, address and resolve whatever you are struggling with. My role is to help you consider and deal with your feelings, thoughts and behaviours and to better understand how they impact your actions and relationships. Together we will look at what works and what does not. Then we will find ways for you to change what you can and better manage what you cannot. Trained in a variety of approaches, I choose from them to best meet the need you present (CBT, mindfulness, gestalt, emotion focused and interpersonal therapy). A published author and recognized "expert witness" in Individual/Family Therapy by the provincial courts, I offer clinical supervision in addition to therapy. Referrals welcome.

I am an English and Spanish Registered Psycotherapist and I am here to walk together on a healing journey! My goal is to provide clients from all over Toronto with a warm and empathic space to feel encouraged and safe when life stressors happen. You might be experiencing some of the challenges below. Life Transitions We are in constant change, so you might find yourself dealing with different challenges that have altered the structure of your life as you knew it before. When things around us change we can sometimes feel overwhelmed by the unknown, and not feeling ready to adjust to new realities. Relationships You might feel stuck in an intimate relationship, or you are single looking to start a healthy relationship. You might also feel frustrated, angry or sad towards colleagues, family members and friends. Even though it is not possible to change how others behave, it is possible to create healthier relationships. These factors can trigger different emotions, such as depression, anxiety, anger, fear, making us feel stuck or not able to move forward. Facing these challenges alone is not easy. My passion is to walk together with you in a therapeutic journey. You are unique. I believe that we all deserve to be happy, and that we can be happy.

“No matter how successful I am, I still feel like a failure. I worry that everyone will find out I’m an imposter, and my accomplishments were all flukes.” Sound familiar? I work with driven, smart, conscientious women in their 20s and 30s who struggle with self-criticism, perfectionism, anxiety, and ‘imposter syndrome’ - feeling unworthy of your successes. Your inner critic can steal away so many moments of joy and make you lose sight of your true self. Ready to make a change? Therapy can create space for confidence, clarity, self-worth, and genuine fulfillment. My clients say I have a knack for gentle, curious questions leading to profound realizations and meaningful change. My practice is guided by an anti-oppressive, feminist approach, which sees personal experiences as linked to social systems (such as racism, sexism, ableism) I combine my clinical skills with authenticity, empathy - plus a big dose of humour!

If anxiety, depression or other mental health issues are affecting your life and stand in the way of you being your best self, I can help. Incorporating elements of compassion-focused therapy, I work in a primarily cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) framework. So often, we amplify our distress by judging ourselves for having the thoughts and emotional reactions that we have. In therapy, you will learn to be more compassionate towards yourself and to modify your thinking and behaviour in order to change emotional reactions that are distressing. You will learn new skills to help you break out of unproductive cycles that maintain emotional distress. For more information about me and the services I offer, please visit my website.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and I specialize in evidence-based treatment of complex emotional and behavioural problems in adults. I work with individuals presenting with anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, major depressive disorders, personality disorders, complex trauma, shame, emotion regulation, grief, and other relational difficulties. I also provide comprehensive psychodiagnostic assessment and treatment for third parties for individuals primarily with anxiety or mood disorders in response to work-related traumatic events. My clinical orientation is rooted in cognitive-behavioural theories. I integrate other empirically supported methods like DBT, Emotion-Focused and Compassion-Focused to help reduce and manage symptomatic behaviours and increase overall functioning. I have a special interest in working with individuals from racialized groups and LGBTQ communities. It is incredibly rewarding to face our difficult emotions, by accepting, changing, or letting them go. I help clients achieve that by fostering a safe space where they feel understood, respected, and appreciated. In addition to private practice, I work at CAMH and teach at UofT. Please feel free to call me to see whether I can be of any help to you. Connect with me here: https://oab.owlpractice.ca/drtanayachatterjee

We are all in this together. Sometimes in life we feel lost, or un-grounded, or overcome by stress, or anxiety. Having someone there in your corner can make a lot of difference. The expert on you is you, and together we can explore what is standing between your present and the near-future where you can become a version of yourself more aligned with your goals. We can start with a (free) consultation to see if we work well together; the most important aspect of working with a psychotherapist is that you find someone that you feel comfortable with. At the risk of leaning too hard on a metaphor; we are about to set off on a roadtrip together, one which may take us through your past, and likely into your future - so let us meet before I climb into the passenger seat.

I practice relational therapy—I believe we're all shaped by relationships, past and present. I place great importance on building the trust and connection needed for deeper exploration. I take a client-led, trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive stance, holding curiosity for how systems such as capitalism, patriarchy, and colonialism impact your life and our work together. We can spend a lot of our lives feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or overwhelmed. Admitting our struggles, needs, or desires for change is a courageous risk—and an opening! Whether exploring old wounds, recent challenges, or life transitions, therapy is an opportunity to honour parts of yourself and your experiences that haven't had enough space. It’s a chance to grow your capacities to feel, reflect, and connect in a supportive and nonjudgemental relationship. This deepened awareness and connection to self and others naturally eases suffering. Whether you're coming in the throws of grief, depression, fear, anxiety, hurt, shame, or rage, I meet you there and we find our way together. Together, we'll discover what a more fulfilling life looks like for you. I know how hard it is to share your struggles and trust a new person—I’ve been a client of therapy myself for many years. It’s not easy work! But I’m committed to building trust and staying curious about who you are and how you’re experiencing the process. My hope is that you leave sessions feeling cared for, understood, accepted, and connected with. More details about my practice and training: I am currently a student in my final year of training at the Toronto Institute for Relational Psychoanalysis. I have been practicing for over a year and am currently under the supervision of Tamara Roberts (licence #003620). Before training in psychotherapy, I worked in community mental health as a program manager, researcher, and peer support worker. Insurance that covers Registered Psychotherapists can be processed and covered under my supervisor. My standard fee is $120 and I have a sliding scale option for those who need it.

Life isn't easy, it's filled with joys and sufferings, and it can easily bog you down. You can feel lost, confused, scared, exhausted, and alone.

Taryn tailors therapy towards individual needs and works with her clients to foster feelings of safety while still challenging them to work through areas of difficulty.

I create a warm and safe environment for clients from a variety of backgrounds to identify their unique goals for therapy, and tailor an individualized treatment plan to help them reach these goals. I work individually with adults on clinical issues (e.g., anxiety, depression, trauma, eating issues) and personal growth (e.g., relationship and communication difficulties, managing life transitions). I aim to empower clients to identify and build on their strengths, with the goal of finding more peace, fulfillment, and meaning in their lives.

Finding the right therapist can be an emotionally draining and challenging process. If you're looking for a different therapy experience that is highly collaborative and engaging, this may be the right fit for you! I like to provide emotional space, humour, and ask reflective questions that will get your brain working a little harder. Clients often say to me: "Wow, that is a good question! Let me think about this for a minute." I also practice from a person-in-environment approach. I analyze and take into consideration of systemic factors that may be impacting your overall well-being. I am a South Asian cis woman that is passionate about working with BIPOC and other marginalized communities. I have extensive lived and professional experience in supporting clients with anxiety, depression, family conflict, and other life stressors. I also offer therapy from a person-centered, strengths-based, intersectional, and anti-oppressive framework. My philosophy about therapy is that you are always in the driver's seat while I am in the passenger seat. You are the expert of your own life, but you may need some extra help to get to your destination. I will support you by offering new therapeutic perspectives, coping strategies, and empathy along the way.

I specialize in working with adults and teens facing anxiety and overwhelm, life transitions, issues with self-worth, difficult relationship dynamics, and the impacts of painful life events or chronic distress. A foundational part of much of my work with clients is exploring current challenges through attachment & trauma lenses. This means that we may look at how early relationships, experiences, and survival adaptations may be impacting a sense of worthiness and trust with self & others. Therapy can provide a space to feel heard, understood, and even gently challenged when that’s helpful. Together, we can process emotions, explore learned beliefs & ways you’ve had to cope, and uncover new insights, perspectives and pathways for change so you can experience greater ease and empowerment.

"We operate at a fraction of our capacity. No one should have to wait for a crisis to find out how much more they really have." - Della As an Emotion-focused Therapist, I work with individuals collaboratively to get to the root cause of the difficulties they experience. We need to arrive at a place before we can leave it. We have to feel a feeling in order to change it. It is important that we work together to recognize the function that both positive and negative emotions have played in our lives to make lasting changes. I strongly believe in using a multi-modal approach to therapy by assessing what your individual needs are, and utilizing different therapy approaches that are best suited to helping you reach your personal goals. I am trained in Emotion-focused therapy used for mood disorders and dealing with trauma, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy used for personality disorders and emotion dysregulation issues, as well as the Gottman Method for marital conflict and couples therapy. I am devoted to helping individuals to explore issues around finding a sense of purpose in their own lives, particularly after a significant life change, or even if you are having difficulty making a decision around a significant life change. Often, depression and anxiety manifests as a symptom in our lives when it is unclear what meaning we attach to the things we are doing on a daily basis. I look forward to helping you explore these factors through active exploration of the things that are priority and important in your life to work past your current challenges. I believe finding a personal sense of mental health is pivotal to the human experience. I work with individuals to find a sense serenity in everyday life. I believe that change first comes from the individual's readiness, to first be aware of chaos or rigidity that we have built into our lives, then exploring our past history of where this "stuckness" comes from. The emotions we have attached to these experiences can then provide the answers we need to unlearn behaviours and become unstuck.

Her work with clients is guided equally by her ongoing inquiry into the human condition, and by a deep respect for the unique strengths and wisdom that each of us brings to our own experience and process of growth. Reesa’s clinical work is strengths-based and trauma-informed. She often incorporates mindfulness and visualization practices, as well as writing exercises and somatic awareness into the psychotherapeutic work, in order to support clients in expressing their authentic selves and finding relief, hope, healing, and wellbeing. In addition to her work as a psychotherapist, Reesa enjoys a regular meditation and mindfulness practice, all forms of dance, the restorative power of nature, and the inspiring power of the written word.

Do you struggle with constant worry, fear, or a general feeling of unease? Does it disrupt your day-to-day functioning or your physical and mental well being? Does a healthy work life balance feel unattainable? My clients tell me I make them feel comfortable and that I am a very empathetic person. I provide a comfortable, safe, and supportive therapeutic environment. I assume a collaborative and strengths-based approach to therapy and believe that you are the expert in your own story and tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs, wants and goals. I work with you to set your goals and build a toolbox of coping strategies to address disruptive anxiety patterns that are causing distress. I will do this by focusing on the state of the body and mind. We will work together so that you can feel yourself again. You deserve to be happy.

I am a warm and empathetic individual, committed to providing a safe, confidential and non-judgemental therapeutic environment that allows for self-exploration. I am currently accepting new clients, INDIVIDUALS, COUPLES and GROUP Therapy. I work in a virtual private practice. Please feel free to contact me to set up a free consultation. Within my practice, I use a range of core principles in Psychodynamic Therapy, based on the client's needs. Through a client-centered approach we work together in the here-and-now to explore thoughts, feelings, life experiences and ways of relating that may be outside your awareness that contribute to the difficulties you currently face. My approach is authentic, collaborative and supportive. My aim is to increase self-awareness and enable clients to enhance their sense of balance and wellbeing. I am a Registered Psychotherapist and graduate of The Ontario Psychotherapy and Counselling Program (OPC) which has high standards of training and regulation, and all its therapists have a minimum of five years training. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma specialist. I also worked at the Durham College & UOIT Health and Wellness Clinic as a Therapist as part of a circle of care. Therapy gives us a sacred space to explore who we are, and that's to be valued. My experience with therapy has fundamentally changed my outlook, behaviour and approach to the field of psychotherapy. I have been deeply moved by the urge within us that pushes us to grow, and develop further. I am honoured to share this journey together. Feel free to reach out and see up a free consultation.

Hello, I’m Elise, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). I work with individuals navigating the relationships and the aftermath of relationships, helping manage breakups, work through the grieving process, self-exploration, reflection and ultimately regain autonomy and empowerment. Breakups can feel like an ending; however, they often mark a new beginning that presents its own set of challenges. In addition to relationship issues, I also focus on areas such as ADD/ADHD, anxiety, difficulties with school, and stress management. My goal is to support clients as they find clarity and strength in their journeys toward healing and growth. In my practice, I create a safe and compassionate space for you to explore what’s going on inside. I understand that navigating emotional challenges and engaging in self-reflection can be difficult, and I’m here to support you through that process. I draw from my own experiences and blend compassion with a touch of light humour to help ease the journey. Together, we’ll navigate through the complexities of your emotions, making it easier to face challenges and embrace new beginnings. Together, we can work together to support you through the challenges of starting a new chapter in your life. Email me to set up your free 15-minute consultation and let's work together to flip the page.

In a world full of competing ideas, opinions and expectations, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Our inner critics can be so loud, and even the voices of those we love can add to the noise. This can make it hard to figure out what’s truly right for us, which can leave us feeling stuck and uncertain. Sometimes, it can be helpful to slow down and pause– to have a space to reflect, explore and make sense of what is happening, and to know that you are not walking through it all alone. I aim to create a warm, compassionate, and client-centered therapeutic space, recognizing that your experiences are unique and nuanced. Your experiences are unique and nuanced, so my hope is that when you are in the therapy room, you feel safe, seen, and heard. Together, we can work toward helping you gain the clarity and the confidence to live in a way that aligns with what you value most. I would love to connect with you and help you discover what flourishing amidst life’s challenges can look like for you.
