Whether you are looking for individual counselling or marriage counselling you have reached the right place. I have worked as a psychotherapist, counsellor and professor for more than 19 years. I offer psychotherapy in English and psychotherapy in Spanish.The goal is to live and enjoy your life in your own terms. My experience as psychotherapist has led me to develop a technique that creates an environment of freedom and safety to express your challenges. Psychotherapy for me is the possibility to question every option, have the freedom to consider the possible outcomes and consequences of our actions and to have the time and space to decide what can make you happier, prouder and fulfilled as a human being or as a couple. I think that self-knowledge is the main strength that we can have as a person and the key to enjoy life fully. I have been in different countries, with different cultures and different languages and that has made me realize that it is possible to face challenges and problems in different ways according on how you would feel safer and confident in doing so. My wish is that every person can live his or her own life fully and freely in his or her own terms. I want to share that wish with you.

I am a master’s level clinical social worker providing psychotherapeutic support for a variety of areas including trauma, mental health, chronic illness, relationship and communication issues, stress and grief. ​ I work with individuals, adults and youth.

I use a strengths-based, client-centered approach in my practice. ​ I am inspired to work with you to help you achieve your personal counselling goals and to help you make sustainable, positive changes in your life. ​ I believe that we all need support when presented with struggles. I am driven to help people optimize their resilience and make lasting changes in their lives, harnessing their strengths to increasing overall wellness. My interest in psychology and psychotherapy began in 2003 when I studied social anthropology at Dalhousie University. In learning about human behavior, psychology and the ways in which people relate to and organize themselves culturally and socially I was inspired to utilize this knowledge through a helping profession. I was struck by the universal human experience of needing to make and foster meaningful connections with others, be a part of a community, feel valued, loved and empowered. I believe that everyone has the capacity to optimize their resiliency. I also know that we all need support at times in our lives to help us mobilize our resilience and grow as we navigate the struggles we endure. ​ I began my career in the community, advocating for anti-poverty initiatives and raising communal awareness through collective organization. My journey brought me to individual psychotherapy as I worked with youth in the Toronto District School Board, with community medical clinics and with individuals internationally through employee assistance programs. My passion lies in seeing my client’s discover and gain mastery in their strengths and find empowering, sustainable strategies to coping with life’s challenges.

What makes me stand out as a therapist is my focus on your well-being in a holistic way. Coming from an anti-oppressive lens, I practice with the values of dignity, diversity, and self-empowerment at the forefront. I highly value honesty, collaboration, respect, and empathy, all of which are evident in the way I approach our sessions. My hope is that all clients can reach their self-identified goals within a supportive, empathetic, and therapeutic relationship. I am a trained therapist with experience using evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solutions Focused Therapy, Schema Therapy, Somatic Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I work from an eclectic approach to address the multi-faceted concerns that you bring to our sessions, and tailor your treatment plan to your specific needs rather than trying to fit you into one model of therapy. In working with clinicians, my goal is to make sure that every therapist feels competent, capable, and supported. An empowered clinician is one who can provide quality work with clients, and it is my mission to ensure that this becomes standard practice.

It doesn't have to be. So, if you've had enough of the negative voices in your head and you have zero interest in having another year go by where you're not where you think you should be in life, I can help!

Hello. I’m happy to see that you’ve made it - if you’re here, you’re searching for something to help improve your life. An indication of your readiness to confront the challenges facing you, and the belief that change is possible is a beautiful place to begin. As a therapist, I welcome diversity of all kinds, and prize inclusivity of abilities, races, cultures, sexualities, genders, religions, ages, body sizes, and political values. My approach to therapy focuses on delving into underlying issues, rather than just addressing symptoms, to support sustained growth and healing. Our work begins with a warm, supportive and non-judgmental environment. My goal is to understand your experience as accurately and empathically as possible. I then draw from a variety of models and techniques. These range from a focus on our relationship as a microcosm to understand relational patterns that exist outside the therapy room, to a deep interest in your dreams to understand what your unconscious might be communicating, to an understanding of coping mechanisms and how they once served you, to techniques that teach you how to skillfully navigating challenging thoughts and emotions while living a life in line with your values. I work from this range because I don’t believe that one approach is sufficient to address your unique needs. I have completed a Master’s in Counselling Psychology from the University of Toronto’s Ontario Institute for Studies for Studies in Education. I have also volunteered at the Distress Centres of Greater Toronto as a crisis worker on their distress lines, and as a grief counsellor for folks who lost someone to suicide or homicide. In addition to my training and therapy work experiences, I draw upon my life experiences as a filmmaker and a father. My areas of practice include anxiety, depression, artists and artistic practice, masculinity issues, grief and traumatic loss, life transitions, work challenges, relationship issues, existential distress, spiritual exploration, and self and identity exploration. If what you read here resonates with you, consider checking out my website or reaching out for a free 30-minute consultation. Regardless, I hope that you find the support and guidance you need on your journey towards healing and growth.

When we feel badly about ourselves it affects every part of our lives. It can cause debilitating self-doubt that makes us question our thoughts, feelings and decisions. We experience self-criticism where we focus on our mistakes, unfairly blame ourselves for the problems we have and dismiss our strengths. This makes it difficult to try new things, pursue goals and can make us perfectionistic, which only leaves us feeling more depressed, anxious and frustrated. When we think that our needs are wrong or don't matter, we can end up in relationships that feel unsupportive and don’t work for us. I specialize in women's mental health and provide therapy to women experiencing concerns about self-worth and relationships. In therapy, you can learn to understand and respond to yourself in an accepting and compassionate way that leads to healthy self-worth. This also helps in building caring relationships where you can be authentic, feel heard and valued. I work with clients in a way that is supportive, authentic and collaborative. I find one of the ways to make therapy more comfortable is to know that it’s okay to laugh and find humour in it. Finding a therapist who is a good fit for you is incredibly important, so I offer a free, 20-minute consultation and welcome emails with any questions you have!

Human beings present a fascinating patchwork of personality traits, personal histories, and physical features. We’re complex, diverse, and captivating. As a trained psychotherapist, I have the opportunity to glimpse the unique inner workings of the mind. I’ve connected with people from various backgrounds on a deep level, and that has defined my approach to social work: I look at each person in their entirety. I recognize that family, financial, and physical backgrounds impact the formation of our personalities, and therefore must be considered when implementing a treatment plan. I have received extensive training and work experience, with Sensorimotor Trauma Psychotherapy, EMDR, Mindfulness informed interventions, and couples counselling, While I'm very passionate about the body/mind connection, I believe that no two clients are alike. It is therefore important to employ the appropriate interventions on an individualized, case by case basis. I consider myself an empathetic, balanced, and professional clinican. I utilize a number of modalities to help my clients overcome issues such as trauma, depression, anxiety, interpersonal difficulties, self esteem, chronic pain and familial difficulties. I consider it exceptionally rewarding when my patients can set and achieve realistic short-term goals and improve their daily functioning. I offer all first time clients a 30 min consultation free of charge. Let’s connect! Nathalie Jacobs, M.S.W. RSW

I have worked in mental health for 20 years, providing psychotherapy to individuals (across the lifespan), families, and groups. Therapy is a collaborative partnership and, although I hold a set of expertise, I believe you are the expert in your own life. I start where you are, honour your strengths and your right to self-determination, and wish for you to reach your highest potential. I listen, guide, and work from a practical, compassionate, and non-judgmental perspective. I determine with people the therapeutic approach that best suits their needs and ways of learning. My extensive training in EFT, EFFT, EFMT, CBT, IPT, and Mindfulness-Based therapies allows me to customize our therapy sessions. I also provide Clinical Supervision.
