Online Therapy Ontario

Therapy is a safe, supportive space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we identify patterns, uncover challenges, and work toward meaningful change. It’s a collaborative process tailored to your unique needs.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or want to improve your relationships or emotional well-being, therapy can help. Reaching out is a courageous step toward understanding yourself better and finding new choices.
Your first session is about getting to know you—your story, your concerns, and what you hope to achieve. We’ll also answer any questions you have and set the foundation for our work together.
The duration of therapy can vary significantly based on individual needs and circumstances. Some people may benefit from just a few sessions, while others might engage in therapy for several months or even years. Typically, the frequency of meetings can range from once a week to bi-weekly or monthly sessions, depending on your specific goals and the nature of the issues you're facing. It's essential to discuss your preferences and needs with your therapist to establish a schedule that works best for you.
Most clients start with weekly or bi-weekly sessions. Over time, we can adjust based on your needs and progress.
We specialize in relational, focusing on understanding your relationships with yourself and others. We also integrate evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and Compassion-Based approaches when helpful.
We help with relational trauma, emotional disconnection, self-discovery, and improving relationships. We also work with emotional immaturity, attachment challenges, and breaking intergenerational trauma.

Special Populations

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—because you’re not broken. It’s about helping you understand yourself, develop tools for change, and create the life and relationships you want.
Some people feel a sense of relief after just a few sessions, while deeper changes take time. Healing is a journey, not a race.
If therapy isn’t meeting your needs, let’s talk about it. We’ll adjust our approach or help you find someone better suited to your goals.
