Therapists in Toronto, ON

I approach therapy with the belief that everyone has a life story that is worthy of being met with compassion and empathy. My work background, combined with my identities as a member of the Asian and LGBTQIA+ community equips me to work from a strength-based, trauma-informed, and anti-oppression framework. Additionally, this intersectionality assists me in maintaining a culturally sensitive and intersectional lens that is rooted in compassion and curiosity.

In whatever way you find yourself here, rest assured we can build the tools you need to unpack and resolve the issues you face. Whether you are exploring your identity, opening up or managing the health of your relationship(s), processing experiences from your past, or needing space to explore a sense of unrest - I will meet you in co-creating a compassionate space of deep empathy, gentle exploration, strengthening and resolution. If you feel ready to explore the next phase of your healing or recovery work, I offer a unique and experiential lens guided by integrity, consent, reflexivity and accountability.

I take people on a journey to meet and commune more deeply with their body, with the parts of themselves they have abandoned or are too afraid to venture near. My practice is an intuitive concoction, rooted in authentic movement and active imagination. I draw from my experience as a retired dancer and my education in existential-integrative psychotherapy and social work, including exposure to spiritual texts and experiential approaches, in order to assist my clients on the path to embodiment.

It is a natural part of life that we question our careers and ask ourselves why we do what we do. You may be feeling unfulfilled and purposeless with your career where it feels painful to stay where you are, but it also feels painful to deal with the confusion, overwhelm, stress, and anxiety involved in thinking about what's next and how to transition your career. As a Registered Psychotherapist and Career Counsellor, I'm here to help you manage these emotions and make a strategic, informed decision on what career to pursue next. My approach combines psychotherapy with practical decision-making and action-planning.

I work with people who are going through significant psychological challenges including depression, anxiety, dysfunctional relationships and destructive behaviors. Together we create a safe space to explore psychological processes, identify key problems and equip them with the skills and strategies needed to overcome their challenges so they can lead a meaningful and fulfilling life.

Do you feel anxious, on edge, and hyper-vigilant? Perhaps a history of childhood trauma has deeply ingrained in your psyche to be on the outlook for danger. Persistent anxiety manifests as chronic worrying, always being afraid of something bad happening, and a pervasive mistrust in your own decisions. Trauma affects everyone differently, including one-time, multiple, or long-lasting repetitive events. Whether you are ready to address the impact of trauma in your life or learn strategies to manage intense emotions and/or make behavioral changes, therapy can be a good start.

I have over ten years of experience in the mental health field. I primarily work with trauma and sexuality and am experienced with LGBTQ2IA+ and neurodivergent communities. My work in this field began with refugees abroad which led me to research treatment development for survivors of sexual trauma. My experience extends beyond these populations and I strive to stay open to the wisdom gained through working with a wide range of demographics and therapeutic approaches.

Hey! I’m Joanna, or Jo, for short; pronouns she/they. I value authenticity, mutual respect, and self-agency, so I work collaboratively with my clients. I hold space for all persons, regardless of their race, gender, sexuality, religion, and intersectional identities, and I strive to do so in a compassionate, non-judgmental way.

There are times when life gets hard, messy or shaken up, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, or lost reckoning with somethings we didn’t expect to. There are also times when we simply get that nagging feeling that there’s something we want to address, and maybe start to feel curious about what healing can be for us. In this space I welcome working with different experiences, however big or small, present or past. Sometimes this may look like anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, impact of trauma, navigating relationships, sense of self (self-worth, self-love, inadequacy, etc.), student life, life transitions and loss.

How to find hope? If you are feeling overwhelmed, engaging in therapy can help you feel calm again. You have BIG responsibilities! — With little time and less energy! You may feel pulled in many directions ... as a student, worker, caregiver, provider... You may feel distressed, confused, and empty. You may have lost a sense of connection to who you are and what you want - because of BURNOUT, stress, and overwhelm! I too have felt I was losing control; it can be frightening!

Using science-based approaches combined with your lived experience, my hope is to facilitate growth, joy, and agency towards your life worth living, as defined by you. A portion of my work is with athletes and para athletes experiencing mental health concerns. My interest in these populations stems from personal experience as a high performance athlete and the ups/downs related to injury and retirement.

Do you struggle with constant rumination or worry? Do you experience self-doubt, or find yourself to be your own harshest critic when it comes to your thoughts, feelings, or actions? Do you experience mood swings, or struggle to express and identify your own emotions? Anxiety and low mood can be powerful emotional states, but they do not have to continue controlling your life. I work with youth and adults experiencing mood disturbances, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, stress, relationship challenges, and more.

Hi all, welcome to my profile! As a Black woman who grew up in a low income family I'm incredibly passionate about ensuring marginalized populations are provided with inclusive and accessible mental health support.

I feel honoured to support you through your most difficult emotions and I will walk through them with you to brighter days.

It takes strength to recognize when you need support and even more courage to take action. Choosing to enroll in therapy is a significant step toward nurturing your well-being and investing in your own growth and happiness. I aim to provide the guidance and unwavering support that you deserve as you navigate the challenges and obstacles that life throws at you. I believe in fostering a non-judgmental environment in which you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Therapy is about you and your needs, and I will work to maintain your comfort in the therapeutic space while collaborating with you on your personal growth.

Do you struggle with maintaining balance in your life? Are you going through a transition that has affected your day-to-day routine or relationships? Are you dealing with work or school related stress? Sometimes life changes can leave us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and defeated and it can be hard to manage the feelings while continuing to complete our day-to-day responsibilities. We may even find ourselves compromising on our own needs, leading to a domino effect of additional challenges.

Whether you have been in therapy at different points in your life or are considering therapy for the first time, we will work collaboratively for you to gain a better sense of overall well-being. Working together we can identify unhelpful patterns and learn more effective ways of coping as you may find yourself experiencing challenges in life including managing relationships, regulating difficult emotions, dealing with family conflict/issues, struggling with self worth, and adapting to change.
