“Many people’s idea of the Self is like a rock. Something that must be formed, ‘set’, and unmovable. And yet, the Self is more like water—flowing, changing, navigating around the things in its path. Your fluidity is your power, not your weakness.” - Sara Kuburic (It’s On Me)

Iryna Dutko RP, RSW VIDEO THERAPY
Tender Heart Toronto
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Social Worker
Western society teaches us that challenges with emotional and mental well-being are rooted in individual difficulty with coping, functioning, or adaptability. As a result, we might attempt to tackle these issues using our willpower, intellect, and behavioural changes. If these attempts fail to bring us the inner peace or lasting change we desire, we can begin to feel ashamed, alone, and stuck.
It is my belief that challenges with mental health, emotion, and relationships do not exist in a vacuum. These are more than personal failings at coping and functioning. Chronic stress, trauma, illness, relational challenges, systemic oppression, and the pressures of capitalism shape both our well-being and our attempts to get well. In welcoming this understanding, we can begin to uncover the deeper questions of your healing work.
My approach to psychotherapy is intuitive, deeply compassionate, and rooted in commitment to anti-oppression and social justice. I value a highly collaborative approach: together, we can explore who and how you are in the world, and where you wish to go. Working at the pace you set, we can strengthen your connection to self, and to the deep inner wisdom that will create the blueprint for your healing journey.
In my work I draw on evidence-based modalities, including relational, minfdulness, experiential, existential, and feminist approaches. I support clients with a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, family conflict, low self-esteem, substance use and gambling concerns, chronic illness and disability, traumatic brain injury, intimate partner violence, trauma, and sexuality issues.
I welcome you to arrive in therapy as your authentic self. My practice is trauma-informed, sex and sex worker positive, and committed to the uplifting of the LGBTQ2S+ community.

Home Body Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I am a reformed intellectualizer who now helps individuals and couples heal through body-based psychotherapy. Many of my clients feel disconnected from their bodies, whether this be because of pain, burnout, trauma or emotional numbing. It can be impossible to feel sometimes. While our bodies are smart and have adapted to our trauma, there is also a way to reconnect and heal.
While working with our bodies is one passion of mine, another is working through our relationships. People are not islands; we heal through healthy relationships. And so, I also work to foster a collaborative space for us to explore your goals and improve your well-being both one-on-one and through couples counselling.
If you are interested in learning more, please contact me to set up a free 15-minute consult call. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Individual, couple and family therapist
Life can be very overwhelming, and often finding the right therapist can help us to cope with life's many challenges. I am a licensed therapist specializing in the fields of trauma, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and family/relationship conflict. In the past, I volunteered as a crisis aid-line worker, then worked as a therapist in a community agency for 6 years where I was lucky enough to train for 1 year with a renowned psychiatrist who specializes in trauma. 12 years ago, I began my private practice in psychotherapy and I truly love what I do. Sessions are offered virtually or by phone at this time.
I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation. This is an opportunity for you to get a sense of me, to ask questions, and for me to have a better understanding of what you are looking for through therapy. I am integrative and use evidence-based therapies. We work together as a team using psycho-education, tools and therapy methods that will work best for you.
I have training in Mindfulness Meditation and was a yoga teacher, and I have training in body-centered therapy approaches. In order to heal, it is helpful to work with the thoughts/belief patterns, emotions, nervous system (increasing feelings of safety), and body (building tolerance to felt sensation/emotions & increasing our window of tolerance).

Dr. Shona Tritt PhD. VIDEO THERAPY
Shona Tritt, PhD, Clinical Psychologist
Clinical Psychologist and executive coach
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.
As a therapist, I use cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic methods to provide tailored treatment for couples and for adults afflicted with a variety of psychological conditions including anxiety disorders, depression, and personality disorders, as well as difficult issues such as relationship issues, life transitions, job difficulties, shyness, and low self-esteem. 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.

**** Accepting new clients **** "Therapy really works!” This is my experience with therapy as well as many other people’s therapy experience with me. I believe that you can have a similar experience - an experience that you will feel understood and empowered. Part of the reasons that makes therapy work is because as a therapist, I am non-judgmental, emphatic, compassionate, and genuine. I am also trained in many different psychotherapy modalities that I will tailor our therapy sessions to your unique needs. I can use practical approaches as well as insight oriented approaches.
Some of the specialized trainings include: EMDR for trauma, Strength-Based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-focused Therapy, Trauma-informed Practice, and Attachment-Based Family Therapy. In addition, I work through a trauma informed lens and from an anti-oppression framework.
I have experience supporting people from all walks of life. Concerns that I have supported people through include: trauma (sexual, childhood, bullying, etc), stress, family conflict, adjustment, identity issues (sexual orientation, gender, race, etc), self-esteem, body image, anger, grief, and many mental health concerns such as anxiety and depression.
