Therapists near Harbord Village helping Adults with Relationship Difficulties

Many people who seek out therapy come because they feel stuck in painful patterns or emotions that are causing distress, feel overwhelmed by their emotions, experience numbness, or have trouble figuring out exactly what they feel. If this is you, you are not alone. All of us at some point in our lives find ourselves wanting to feel differently in our relationship with our selves, our loved ones, our work, or our communities. We want to feel more joy, energy, or passion, and less sadness, anger, or fear. We want to heal from past traumas and end painful patterns that are causing distress. Every person deserves to not just cope, but thrive. It is my role to create a safe, warm, non-judgemental space for you to explore and shift painful emotions and patterns in lasting ways. While I draw on many theories, my practice is primarily grounded in emotion theory, or EFT. This means that through the therapeutic relationship, you will learn how to pay attention to your feelings, needs, and actions, and learn how to pause and act, rather than react. This will allow you to address the root causes of your difficulties and create meaningful transformations in patterns of emotion, behaviour, and thoughts, as well as gaining a better understanding of yourself.

As a trans, non-binary, queer, adoptee, living with disabilities, I bring a unique perspective to working with clients who are experiencing challenges regarding gender, sexual orientation, sexuality, disability, identity, relationships, and with people who have experience with adoption and/or the child welfare system. I work with adults and youth, their families, and social circles to provide support and guidance as they navigate transitions and challenges in their lives. I offer short-, medium-, and long-term counselling to clients, and work with clients to decide how we work together. I have preference for engaging with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, people with disabilities, and with people who have experience in the child welfare system or with adoption, but I will also work with clients who do not identify in these ways. My practice is grounded in queer, feminist, and anti-oppression theory and centres around the theme of resiliency. My approach is strengths-based and uses harm reduction strategies. I work from an intersectional perspective to understand how individuals interact with the systems of oppression of our society.

I use my experience and expertise to make the challenging task of psychotherapy feel as safe and gentle as possible. It's no easy feat to face the painful things in our lives, and my job is to be a calm, sturdy, knowledgeable support who's on this path right alongside you. I have experience working with adults healing from trauma (including childhood abuse and neglect), students, and queer and trans folks. If I sound like a good fit for you, please reach out to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation where we can discuss this process further.

I hold a Bachelor of Art’s (Honours) degree in Sociology from Queen’s University, a Post-Graduate Diploma in Autism and Behavioural Science from Algonquin College and a Master’s of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University.

I also utilize various techniques and strategies from mindfulness based practices I work interactively and collaboratively with each client by drawing on strengths, providing a comfortable and nonjudgmental space to feel and express emotions and practicing a variety of tools and techniques to incorporate in day to day life.

In therapy we begin to understand ourselves, and our relations with others, amid life's complexities. It's a space to freely explore our thoughts, feelings, and experiences from the past and present, as we orient towards the future. Through this, we build a life we truly feel part of and from which we connect with others.

I work from a client-centered perspective, where your thoughts and feelings, your voice and your freedom are the most important. I also have training in CBT, client-centered and somatic approaches and use this knowledge to help you find the right questions to ask yourself, fully experience your life and take actions to reach the goals you set.

Do you feel as though your life lacks purpose and clarity? Do you dream of building a life on your own terms, based in your values? It is my aim to work with you to cultivate a better understanding of yourself and your experience with others. I will walk alongside your quest for authenticity with curiosity and compassion, and without judgment. My goal is for you to become more confident in your decision-making, so you can live with integrity. My approach is trauma-informed and anti-oppressive, and my lived experience as a queer person informs my practice. Together we will create a safe space for your self-exploration. Through the power of the therapeutic relationship, the opportunity to see yourself in new ways will emerge. Seeking support is an act of bravery; it is the first step toward a new beginning. Please email me if you are interested in working together. I offer a free consultation to see if we are a good fit. This is an opportunity for you to tell me a bit about yourself and what brings you to therapy, and to ask any questions you have about therapy or my approach.

I am a registered psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).

My work involves helping people deal with emotional, behavioral, and psychological issues that affect their daily lives.

My passion to become a therapist grew from early experiences tutoring and mentoring underprivileged children and youth. I have spent years helping parents and children find ways to achieve success and meet their goals. I am proud to have my own practice to offer therapy to individuals, children, youth, couples, and families. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I earned my Master of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, Bachelor of Arts degree in Child and Youth Care from Ryerson University, and Honours Advanced Diploma in Child and Youth Care from George Brown College. In addition to psychotherapy, I work as a research assistant and TA at Ryerson University in the Child and Youth Care department.

I am a Clinical Psychologist and an Assistant Professor (Teaching Stream) in the Department of Psychology at the University of Toronto Scarborough. I received my PhD in Psychology from the University of Toronto in 2014 after completing a post-graduate fellowship at Yale University, a masters degree from University College London, and a honours B.A from Concordia University. I have previously worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at New York University, and have taught at the Rotman School of Management.

I am also a certified executive coach who strives to help individuals to be better able to achieve their goals in professional as well as personal domains. I have conducted academic research that explores how expectations and beliefs affect perception and memory. My research findings suggest that people have a propensity to see and to remember information that fits with their beliefs and expectations, regardless of what is actually in front of them. My research suggests the enormous potential of psychological interventions. To the extent that psychological interventions can change your beliefs and your expectations, they can – quite literally — change what you see and how you understand the world. I am a registered member of the College of Psychologists of Ontario, the Canadian Psychological Association, and the Ontario Psychological Association.

I view respect, curiosity, and compassion as the pillars to reconnecting with one’s sense of self through exploration of emotional, psychological, relational, and physiological distress.

Therapy will focus on developing strategies, exploring emotions, accessing inner resources, and implementing tools in support of healing, growth, and health. Any topic can be discussed in therapy, no matter how big or small.

With over 25 years of experience supporting children, youth, adults, and families, I offer a safe, compassionate space to work through anxiety, neurodivergence (including ADHD and ASD), grief, parenting struggles, and relationship challenges. I believe therapy should be practical, collaborative, and tailored to you—so you can feel seen, supported, and capable of meaningful change. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and the founder of Finding Solutions, a practice grounded in evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, and attachment-based work.

Relationships are the air we breathe. I have always had a passionate interest in how relationships shape us, what they mean to us, how they break down, and by what means they can be repaired. I formalized my passion through training as a psychotherapist. Whether I'm working with individuals or couples, I work collaboratively with my clients to uncover coping strategies that may have helped them manage stress and adversity at one point in their lives, and which may be causing unintentional problems now. Together, we look at patterns of relating that might be keeping my clients unintentionally out of connection with the ones they love. I am a member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), as well as a member of the Ontario Society of Registered Psychotherapists (OSRP). I am governed by the Codes of Ethics of my training program at The Toronto Institute for Relational Psychotherapy (TIRP), the CRPO, and the OSRP. I am committed to ongoing professional development to learn the most effective approaches for working with my clients. Therapeutic approaches: Relational psychotherapy: Relationships are the very foundation of our existence and development. When we struggle in our connections, we struggle in most other areas of our lives – cognitively, physically, and emotionally. Relational psychotherapy offers a warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative relationship in which you can safely explore your experiences, thoughts and feelings, and set goals for healing. Sensorimotor psychotherapy: This somatic (mindful, body-awareness) approach to psychotherapy is particularly effective for processing trauma and attachment injuries. It helps you identify coping strategies that may no longer be working, and supports you to develop new, more effective resources for greater resilience. Couples therapy (Emotionally Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems): Humans are born to bond. Adult romantic partnerships are the connection we seek for emotional safety and well being. When our partnerships become troubled, it can feel catastrophic. In couples work, we identify the painful cycles that keep us stuck in conflict, and work together in a safe environment to locate the deeper feelings that can lead to reconnection and healing.

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.

I see my role as a therapist to help individuals when they are going through a difficult and challenging time, to provide a safe and welcome space, which allows an individual to freely and openly talk about their struggles and challenges.

I would be honoured to chat with you to see if it would be helpful for us to work together along your journey of life. I have worked as a therapist for over 12 years and have counselled, individuals, couples, children, adolescents and families.

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.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist who is here to support you with building your coping toolbox, improving self-awareness, sense of self-worth, and self-compassion. I recognize the unique lived experiences and strengths that each of my clients bring. I aspire to create a collaborative environment, as I believe the client is the expert on their own issues. I bring my genuine, empathetic, and compassionate self into each session to meet you where you are at. I operate from a holistic, intersectional, and anti-oppressive approach, cognizant of the various factors impacting the client. I understand that social justice and systemic factors that affect clients are not mutually exclusive from counselling. I draw on various therapeutic interventions, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy, which I tailor to meet the needs of the client. I offer a free 15-minute meet and greet so that we can get to know each other.
