Experiencing relationship anxiety and trauma? We are relational beings and things that happen with people around us have a big impact on how we feel and act—even if it's something that happened a long time ago. These unprocessed events and trauma can make you feel stuck, which might show up as anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. In my therapy, I will help you understand why you feel, think, and behave the way you do and learn new skills so you can make the changes you want, to live a more authentic life.—Please note that my service is all online. I use the Person-Centred approach combined with Attachment and Trauma to work on depression, anxiety, relationships, childhood trauma, and identities. This means that I see you as a whole person including environmental factors. I also draw from modalities such as Emotion-Focused Therapy, Internal Family System, CBT, and Mindfulness-based Therapy. In my UX design job, I have helped improve governments' and organizations’ services for citizens. I have extensive experience working with underserved populations, such as BIPOC, LGBTQ+, immigrants, and people with disabilities.

“Reaching out” is this skill we’re somehow expected to know, yet it’s never taught and rarely modelled for us. It takes exceptional courage to reach out, and I understand the vulnerability it takes when you choose to reveal significant and intimate thoughts, feelings, and experiences. As your therapist, I aim to work in a collaborative manner with you to enlighten and empower you on your journey to a healthier, happier life. My approach focuses on creating an individualized treatment plan that assists you to identify and achieve your goals, increase your self-awareness, and support you in overcoming life’s challenges.

My primary theoretical framework is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), although I do integrate other evidence-based methodologies to meet your needs and promote optimal psychological and interpersonal functioning.

In personal and emotional growth, our working alliance will be the foundation from which we build on, providing you with the opportunity for self-growth and safe exploration. I offer FREE 15-minute phone consultations!

I am a Registered Social Worker and the founder of Aworie Health and Wellness Services. I focus my personal counselling practice on body confidence, disordered eating, and self-esteem improvement. Some of the areas I address in individual counselling include how to maintain and strengthen self-confidence, enhance self-compassion, improve relationships, and explore concerns related to identity. I help individuals strengthen coping skills and self-care, and I also focus on helping individuals develop strategies to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression. My hope is to support clients as they strengthen the relationship they have with themselves by addressing issues related to negative self-talk and internalized body shame. I have additional experience helping individuals with weight loss, weight gain and weight stigma/discrimination. My approach is trauma-informed, client-centred, racially/culturally sensitive, and strengths-focused. I aim to help support groups that are body-positive, trans-positive, and mother allied. I use an integrative approach guided by attachment-based therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and neuro-linguistic programming. I work to help clients identify their deep-rooted core beliefs, develop strategies to alleviate their negative symptoms, and strategize ways to move forward into a more fulfilling life.

You are not defined by the things that happened to you and you can heal from them. The reason this is hard to believe is because our experiences change the way we think, feel, and act. If you've experienced a traumatic event you may believe that others can't be trusted, that the world is unpredictable and dangerous, or that you're responsible for what happened to you. You might feel on edge, hypervigilant and like something is going to go wrong. Maybe you're struggling to feel or control your emotions. Do images and memories from past experiences intrude on your life or appear in nightmares? Is it hard to make decisions or to find joy in the things you once enjoyed? It doesn't have to be this way forever. It IS possible to live a life filled with meaningful connection, stability, trust and joy after trauma. It's okay if you don't believe it just yet - I will believe it for you. I specialize in treating sexual and emotional trauma and support individuals, couples and groups. Healing trauma is the work that makes me jump out of bed in the mornings - so much so that I started New Moon Psychotherapy to offer hope and evidence-based support (therapy research shows works) for the difficulties that you're experiencing. My team works with all trauma including first responders, domestic violence, motor vehicle accident, front line workers, and military. You are not meant to do it alone - let's begin your journey together. All services are currently offered virtually via secure video or via telephone call.

I am passionate about supporting survivors of sexual violence and those experiencing post-traumatic stress and related difficulties such as PTSD and complex trauma responses, addiction, mood and anxiety disorders and emotion dysregulation. I view many life's difficulties as stemming from the ways that our younger selves tried to cope with life's problems. At the time it was all we knew how to do and the critical things we said to ourselves kept us going. Today, this no longer serves us. The inner critic berates us and interferes with our relationships and goals. I want to help you overcome these difficulties by unpacking where they came from and developing new ways of coping which will help you create a life in which you feel safe, happy, and connected. If you let me, I'll be committed to guiding you on this journey using evidence based approaches (the ones that research shows work for the difficulties that you are experiencing).

Currently accepting clients (English/French) Welcome, and congratulations on beginning this wonderful, sometimes scary, journey of self-discovery and healing. It takes courage to reach out and ask for help, so..... bravo! Please know that my priority is 'meeting you where you're at' and providing the safest of spaces possible for you to heal and explore your fullest potential. I am now taking clients from Ontario for virtual consultations.

I’m a Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Nurse here to support you in finding and making the changes you want in your life. Some common concerns I work with are health trauma, mood, anxiety, life-transitions (parenting, career changes, aging), addictions, and self-worth. Some people aren’t exactly sure what their concerns are and want help figuring them out: I’m here for that too. I draw from a mix of therapeutic theories and techniques to help you get curious about yourself and find an approach that works best for you. I aim to really get to know you. I will meet you without judgment (really!), and rather with openness, interest, and respect for the complex person you already are. I also understand that different brains process things differently, and welcome bringing movement, sound, aroma, and/or creative expression to sessions. I believe that everyone deserves to pursue a satisfying life. I believe that therapy should be accessible and inclusive, and should meet you where you are at. I believe that social justice, harm-reduction, and trauma-informed approaches are absolutely foundational to good mental healthcare.

My framework for therapy is grounded in the idea that healing begins with understanding oneself. I believe that true growth happens when we meet ourselves with kindness and curiosity, and I strive to create a space where you can do just that, without fear of judgment. This framework is deeply rooted in my experience. In my work as a therapist, I’ve had the privilege of connecting with people during some of their most vulnerable moments. From my clients, I’ve learned that every struggle is connected to a deeper story—one shaped by vulnerability, fears, hopes, and an incredible capacity for resilience. I’ve seen firsthand how challenges can often feel overwhelming, but I’ve also witnessed the remarkable strength that emerges when we approach ourselves with compassion and curiosity. In our work together, I will draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to tailor each session to your unique needs and goals. I believe that therapy is most effective when we work collaboratively, so I’ll be there to explore different tools and strategies with you, always keeping your preferences and values at the centre of our work. Ultimately, my goal is to help you cultivate the self-awareness and resilience to face life’s challenges with confidence, compassion, and clarity. Please note that I only offer virtual sessions via video or phone. I have morning through evening availability during weekdays and weekends. I also offer a free 20-minute consultation.

I have always been curious about human behaviour and passionate about using that curiosity to help others. That curiosity led to building many meaningful connections. My goal is to connect with others, provide a safe place for discussions, and offer empathetic support without judgment. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I believe in the importance of empathy and building a strong connection with others. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in healing and growth. I have supported people who have struggled with interpersonal issues, trauma, eating disorders, stress management, parenting, anxiety, depression and more. My focus has been working with people to enhance self-esteem and sense of self, challenge body image issues, encourage self-acceptance and provide coping strategies to manage their daily struggles. My approach is client centered. I believe each individual is an expert on themselves and my job is to help guide the process of developing a better sense of self. I offer a compassionate experience and empower clients by highlighting their strengths and abilities. I use an integrative approach from CBT, DBT, psychodynamic modalities, mindfulness and more. I provide psychoeducation and build skills people need to face any of life’s challenges.

I help people reduce conflict, restore integrity, find ease, confidence and joy in their lives, even when it seems impossible. Through this work, you can harness your own innate ability to face and transform the challenges of living, loving, working and parenting. Together we create a compassionate and courageous space where you are heard and understood within the wider context of your family and environment. Using the neuroscience of emotion, this work addresses problems at the root, rather than focusing on behaviours or symptoms. I am a crusader against (toxic) shame and blame. I help people understand and transform their relationships; raise their self-compassion and self esteem; and face anxiety and depression with new understanding, tools and hope.

I support individuals with challenges related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, substance use, relationship issues, connection and belonging, loss and grief, and stressful life changes. Through providing warm, experiential and compassionate support I aim to create a space that feels accepting, empowering and has lots of room for exploration. I emphasize a holistic approach and the importance of exploring the mind body connection in healing. All of my work is trauma informed and rooted in anti-oppression and intersectional feminism. My practice welcomes individuals of diverse gender identities, sexualities, ethnicities, cultural backgrounds, ages, abilities, and lifestyles. I combine talk therapy and mindful awareness to explore your concerns and cultivate the change you seek. This may be through helping you calm your nervous system, awareness of tension/holding patterns, working with strong emotions and limiting beliefs, or to understand and trust your body's cues more fully. I specialize in working with adults who have experienced trauma and painful or conflicted relationships with childhood caregivers. I am sex-positive and have experience supporting people with sexuality and intimacy and diverse relationship models. Contact me to set up a consultation to learn more about how I can help.

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.

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 aim to empower clients to identify and build on their strengths, with the goal of finding more peace, fulfillment, and meaning in their lives.

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.

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 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.

If you find yourself navigating the complexities of adulthood, carrying the weight of childhood experiences, you're not alone.

This is your opportunity to ask questions, share your story, and begin envisioning a future where you feel empowered and connected.

You give your all—to your relationships, your work, and the people around you. You try to make everything work, often putting your own needs aside. Even when you feel alone, unheard, or unseen, you push through. You want to advocate for yourself but don’t know where to start. At times, emotions can feel too big—leaving you anxious, lost, or stuck. You find yourself wondering why you connect with others the way you do, and deep down, you long for healthier, more fulfilling relationships—with others and with yourself. I specialize in helping you explore those patterns, feel more in control, and build sustainable ways of coping and relating.

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.

Many things can affect us deeply in our lives. We all have times when we feel stressed and overwhelmed, or confused and lost. Perhaps you are unable to cope, or find yourself stuck in a pattern that is unhealthy or no longer serves you. Your feelings may seem unmanageable and impede your enjoyment of life. Or perhaps you do not feel enough, feel empty or feel nothing at all. At times like these, counselling and psychotherapy can help. Whether you are experiencing difficult emotions, challenged with relationship issues, feeling blocked or dissatisfied with life, or simply wanting nonjudgmental space to explore your life events, I invite you to contact me. I am a Registered Social Worker with over 20 years experience working with individuals, couples and groups. I currently have a private practice conveniently located in Toronto’s west end.

Hello, I’m a Registered Social Worker (MSW) and Psychotherapist working virtually with clients in Ontario. I provide a safe and caring space to explore the struggles you are facing and guide you towards understanding, healing and overall balance in life. I work from an integrated, holistic approach. This means therapy is collaborative - you already have many strengths and inner wisdom; I shed light and guide you to identify how thought patterns, reactivity and perhaps old wounds keep you stuck. Through evidence-based, mind-body and spiritual approaches we work together so you can start to live with more balance, clarity and joy. I work with clients experiencing chronic stress, challenges with mood, life transitions, relationship difficulties and various degrees of trauma. I am a fellow traveller on the journey to healing and so I am honoured to work alongside you. Please visit my website for more information or reach out today for a consultation call.

I learned as a psychotherapist, that individuals are unique, as such, I tailor treatment according to my client's personal needs. This approach helps clients with; depression, anxiety, stress, grief and other emotional and psychological health issues. Within my practice I integrate many therapeutic psychodynamic techniques to help my clients find patterns in their; lives; emotions, thoughts and beliefs, they gain insight that enables them to self-explore and become more self-aware. For this self-exploration, I create a space that is safe, caring, empathetic and non-judgmental, in which my clients develop a better sense of self for positive change and personal growth. I am fluent in Portuguese.

I draw from psychotherapy modalities including Narrative Therapy, ​Grief Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Existential Therapy, and ​from my training in Spiritual Care, Somatic Abolitionism with Resmaa ​Menakem, The Trauma of Money, and Writing the Unthinkable with ​Lynda Barry. I am passionate about working with many types of clients ​including immigrants and refugees, people wounded by their ​workplaces, and BIPOC. I work with individuals, from those in ​quarterlife to those in their elder years, who are seeking self-​acceptance, deeper relationships, personal agency, and meaning, and ​who want to rediscover the unique sacred parts of themselves so they ​can feel all that they need to feel and more fully engage in their lives.

“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!

I provide a safe space for clients to explore their past and present through relational talk therapy. With a focus on maternal mental health and keeping parents thriving after having kids, I work with both individuals and couples. Virtual therapy is available upon request.

Therapy can be a transformative & empowering experience. Developing awareness of yourself & your relationships can allow for enriching self growth. Through our work together we will identify resources, skills, & patterns in your life that are effective as well as areas where you may want to change or improve. We also look at & process any events or self-talk that may be keeping you stuck or causing distress. I will work collaboratively with you to identify what would be most helpful for your therapy, keeping in mind your unique personal & cultural experiences, while developing a trusting & respectful therapeutic relationship.

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.
