Therapists in Etobicoke, ON

Accepting New Clients-Virtual Only—You feel stressed, anxious, and depressed. Maybe you have lost your sense of joy and hope. Past events or traumas have kept you feeling stuck and frustrated, unable to move forward. Things feel out of control and you aren't even sure how you ended up in this place. Life is filled with challenges and it can feel lonely. Maybe you have been too afraid to try therapy before, or you have tried and it didn't seem like a good fit. That's okay, you are here now.

I am naturally a very curious person who seeks answers on life, and being human. Studying psychology allowed me to fine tune this curiosity to navigate the human experience, and to ask the hard questions. I want to give others permission to breathe, and sift through the highs and lows of life – to make sense of the self, and to step into the journey of self-discovery.

Finding the right therapist can feel like a daunting task. Not only are you looking for a professional you can deeply trust, but also one you feel safe with, seen, heard, and validated by. My services are built on developing a strong therapeutic relationship within which the growth and relief you deserve can occur. Together, in a non-judgemental space, we can address topics & concerns ranging from emotional regulation, trauma & survivorship, infidelity, polyamory, attachment, ruptures of trust, grief, conflict & communication, sex & intimacy, sexuality & gender identity, racial & cultural identity, and self-criticism & blame.

Welcome! I am a social worker / psychotherapist with over twenty years' experience in hospital and outpatient settings working with adults (age 18+). If you live anywhere in Ontario, I can support you in overcoming depression, anxiety, difficulties with self-esteem, trauma, sleep problems and managing chronic pain. I have guided hundreds of clients in shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and emotional / behavioural responses, managing stress and developing a more effective, self-affirming approach to everyday life. Engage your inner wisdom and strength and learn skills to promote emotional healing and in making positive change!

By understanding what lies deep within us, what motivates our behaviour, we come to know how to live more wisely and authentically. By giving ourselves the same kindness we give others and in listening to our embodied wisdom we discover fresh new possibilities.Therapy helps to manage anxiety, deal with emotions such as regret and shame, and dispel fear and worry. Without the veil of negativity and self-doubt we can make choices that lead to a more empowered future. If you find yourself feeling stuck, unhappy, confused or overwhelmed, entering into a psychotherapeutic relationship can help.

Do you feel like you need someone you can talk to? Someone who will listen to you? Someone to have an open conversation with? Someone to support you? In my experience, I have gained an appreciation for how complex life can be and how overwhelming it can feel. I am here to listen and to support you with no concern ever considered “too small” or “insignificant”.

We all long to be heard... to have someone witness and lovingly validate our struggles, our painful suffering and our greatest achievements. Did you know that healing happens when we feel we are in a trusting, truly compassionate therapeutic relationship? You probably give more to others than to yourself but you don't know why. You may be burned out, overwhelmed, a PTSD/sexual abuse survivor - or possibly suffering from Covid-fatigue; depressed. anxious and totally stressed out? Your inner voice won't quit and you are so hard on yourself. You are not alone. It would be an honour to help you add peace and joy into your life.

My work involves collaborating with you to cultivate deeper awareness, meaning, connection, and fulfillment in your life and relationships. I can support you through issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, perfectionism, self-criticism, sex and sexuality, conflict and communication, and relationship concerns. I bring in a non-judgmental, anti-oppressive, and compassionate stance to therapy, to build a therapeutic relationship with you where you feel safe, connected, and supported in your journey towards positive change.

I believe that every person has a right to make their own life choices. These choices do not always align with the values of the family or culture of which the person is part of and this can create many challenges for people. My role as a therapist is to help clients determine what they want to achieve and to support them as they move forward with their goals.

Hi! I'm Natasha Sharma: Therapist, TEDx Speaker, and CEO of NKS Therapy. Do you feel sad, stressed out, irritable or angry?

I am a white, queer, cisgender man and settler. I value authenticity and strive to be collaborative, warm, playful, curious, and compassionate in my work with clients. I invite you to also bring any parts of yourself to our shared therapy space - the hurt, the hidden, the hopeful, and whoever else we may discover. My approach to care is rooted in intersectional, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed frameworks. Some specializations of mine include anxiety, depression, grief, perfectionism, relationship challenges, queer experiences, identity exploration, HIV/AIDS, and trauma. I work with children, youth, adults, and older adults.

Clients work with me to support them when they are feeling stuck; or faced with decision making and change which is weighing on them; or through times of distress in relationships, with career transitions or career development, parenting or life in general. Clients also work with me when they are being proactive with their emotional and mental health and want to stay focussed on their wellbeing. Whatever brings you to this place you are welcome. Setting up a free 15 minute phone consult is the first step. This allows us to both see if how I work could be a good fit for you at this time.

I am a mental health professional with more than 10 years of experience. I graduated from The Toronto Institute for Relational Psychotherapy (TIRP). I completed Master's and Ph.D. degrees in Psychology and a 2-year post diploma program in Clinical Sexology. I work with individuals and couples from different backgrounds. I am here to help you cope with your various struggles, in the context of relationships, past experiences, social and cultural backgrounds. If you need help to heal from trauma, gain more awareness, regulate your emotions, explore your needs, and build more meaningful connections with yourself and others - I am here.

Hello, I'm Daiva (pronounced dive-ah), a Certified Music Therapist (MTA) and Reiki practitioner. I work with adults seeking to find their voice, overcome anxiety, and build confidence. My approach is anti-oppressive and I value decolonized ways of healing. Previous clients have experienced enhanced interpersonal relationships, a shift from living in worry about the future to living in trust, and feeling secure in their identity. If you're looking for something beyond talk therapy, perhaps a creative medium is what will serve you.

I approach therapy with curiosity, a collaborative mindset, and respect for the knowledge that you hold about yourself and your life. I work with people facing challenges associated with life transitions, grief, neurodivergence, and mental health and wellbeing. I meet with clients of all ages, and I particularly specialize in working with youth. In addition to my work as a therapist, I am pursuing a PhD in social work where my research focuses on how youth mental health and the climate crisis intersect. I support young people experiencing eco-anxiety, depression, fear about the future, and concern for the environment.

Are you a queer, trans, or neurodivergent person dealing with the hurt of discrimination, rejection, or the feeling that folks around you just don’t understand? Maybe you struggle with trauma symptoms, dissociation, anxiety, depression, self-blame, or low self-worth. It can be hard to get up the courage to come to therapy only to feel like you have to explain the basics of your identity to your therapist. Worse yet, it can be scary to seek therapy when the field of psychology has historically tried to keep us from being our authentic selves.

Therapy with me is about befriending oneself unconditionally, with compassion and kindness. Through traumas, life transitions, mistakes, and successes, mindfulness can be that constant strategy that allows you to be grounded firmly in your healing. My approach is holistic, and one that synthesizes the mind, body, and spirit. My work is rooted in yoga and Buddhist practices and my professional social work experience of 18 years. My practice is LGBTQIA2S-affirming, pro-fat and anti-racist. My areas of specialty are: anxiety, depression, chronic/terminal illness, grief, burnout, body image, relationships, and immigrant issues.

Dear one! From the roots at my feet; through the reverence in my belly; out the reach of my heart, head, and hands – welcome. I'll begin (and end) as I always do, as I must: with the deep, abundant, vulnerable transparency and accountability integral to radical, relational healing. Psychology Today gives us 1360 characters(!) divided into 3 preposterously regimented text boxes to share our approach, our ethics, our experience, our communities, our (fluid, prismatic) selves with (yearning, discerning) you, so that you might feel safe enough to connect: I am not the type of therapist who accepts this sort of rigidity and scarcity.

Life is nothing short of amazing. It's amazing how much we can go through and live to tell about it. It's amazing how fast kids grow up and time flies, how angry a co-worker can make you, how much compassion we can seem to have for others when we struggle to offer any to ourselves. It's amazing how much we put on our plates when all we need is to rest. It's amazing how much we can long for understanding and connection and how much opportunity can be missed right in front of our eyes. It's amazing how short life is. It's also amazing how much we can learn in the time we have, and how little steps can amount to such massive change.
