Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

Psychotherapy allows for one to enter a therapeutic relationship with a trusted mental health professional. Support, trust, empathy, and non-judgment are offered continuously to help you uncover any limiting beliefs, old wounds, habits that are no longer serving you, in a secure space. It is my goal to ensure that you are provided with the proper foundation/tools that are necessary in order to heal the things that you may not be able to access on your own, and eventually help you get to a place of desired self regulation and new thought patterns that are more helpful for creating the life you deserve to have, one that is not ruled by anxiety, stress, or old thought patterns.

You can work through your life issues! Psychotherapy is different from counseling. Counseling is working with current life issues and discussing them, processing emotions, and creating action plans to improve issues. Psychotherapy is deeper healing work where we explore how your current life in various areas has potentially been impacted by your early life and your life until now, and the beliefs and schemas that you formulated through those. We work with both the past and present simultaneously to heel wounds that occurred, big or small, and how to transform those into shifted behavior in the now. We will work with your thoughts, your emotions, and your behaviors in a manner that is unique.

Many of my psychotherapy clients indicate their psychotherapy experience to be very positive. I strive to provide a safe atmosphere where you will feel free to share your thoughts and feelings and life experiences. Together, we first explore the early roots of your situation to see where any early influences are continuing to affect you in your present day living and relationships. We also see where the real self may have been blocked or held down from self expression. The work assists in the recovery of the Real Self, which many indicate feels like clarity and liberation. In addition, the current issues that require treatment be they relationships, work, family, are also dealt with.

Individual therapy is focused on your unique needs and goals. Individual therapy includes learning about your history and life experiences then establishing goals to accomplish in counselling. Our histories are the roots that provide us with a foundation of strength and resilience. But, our histories can also hold the stories that cause pain, insecurity and doubt. It is our belief that the best therapy comes from helping to heal the roots that cause those stuck points. Through this we can create lasting change. As a full-service agency, we offer therapy tailored to address a number of concerns, really anything that might bring you to therapy. Click on the buttons below and check o

Psychotherapy has the power to improve a person's view of life and increase their confidence in themselves. It can help the person heal from a variety of events as well as encourage positive body-mind relations to improve the overall quality of life. Transpersonal therapy takes a holistic approach to healing /therapy by focusing not only on the mind but the wellness of the spirit. It hones in on the physical, mental, social, emotional, creative, and intellectual needs of the individual. This personalized approach facilitates healing and growth for a happier and healthier adult.

A psychodynamic approach to counselling focuses on patterns of relationship, often helpful in understanding how early experiences might be affecting you in the present. Especially helpful for untangling ‘baggage’ which may be holding you back in your current relationships and attitudes to others. Understanding how your current attitudes and ways of interacting with others are caught up in old hurts can free you to choose more constructive ways forward.

Most people consider psychotherapy because they are in crisis and seek an intervention that will improve their lives. The issue may involve work or the recognition of recurring, destructive themes that prevent them from living out their dreams. I use a framework called Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, originating from Diana Fosha. It uses a model of attachment to establish a clear, supportive relationship that helps people feel safe enough to explore deeper issues and to know that they are not alone. I aim to help them reach inside themselves to deal with painful feelings, make way for the resilience and wisdom that reside in each of us and find the transformation we seek.

I understand the impact of what you are experiencing and will help you overcome this hurdle. We can discuss the many benefits of working with a confidential private therapist. Working together, we will explore indicators that highlight your lack of contentment with the way things are moving in your life. We will move you toward things you value in your career, family and relationships. Giving your life meaning and purpose.

H o l i s t i c P s y c h o t h e r a p y The foundation of the work that I do in the office is a holistic style of psychotherapy in which there is an integration of emotional processing with body trauma unwinding.

Psychotherapy can help you gain perspective, insight and self-awareness while gaining skills and tools to obtain your optimal physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. At Atlas Therapy, we are consistently taking new training and learning approaches to better support our clients in their therapeutic journeys. Psychotherapy has been scientifically proven to help with a range of issues but ultimately at Atlas, we want our clients to feel equipped to handle the world around them after our time together.

I view psychotherapy as a way to help gain understanding, clarity and a different perspective. When we adjust or shifting our perspectives, explore our inner resources, and identify our challenges, we start the journey to a more fulfilling life. I believe in collaboration and a nonjudgmental partnership. With the goal to ultimately help clients to define their own version of success, create new patterns of behavior and engage fully in their lives.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

My approach to therapy produces powerful results and allows the individual to heal at a profound and deep level. By encouraging clients to be authentic, conscious and aware I provide fundamentals that support spiritual growth. Healing takes place when we address both our dark and our light sides. Building self-esteem and a healthy ego, establishing boundaries and getting our needs met are very important. I use 2 main modalities Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. Psychotherapy is my passion and having said that I have always known people to feel exceptionally comfortable to share their life’s journey with me.

Within my psychotherapy practice I utilize the following approaches: Emotionally Focused Therapy; Narrative; Internal Family Systems; CBT; DBT; and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. This "integrative" approach is done in an evidence informed way and I collaborate with you. I do specialize in working with couples, and I utilize a form of psychotherapy known as "Emotionally Focused Therapy". This is the gold standard of evidence-based treatment for couples. It is rooted in the science of adult attachment, and follows staged approach to our work together. When you engage in therapy with me, you'll know we always have a researched based map to direct us to your preferred future.

My psychotherapy approach is one that can empower you to ultimately tell a new story about your presenting challenges. Asking the right questions (socratic questions) can capture the excitement of true discovery and as a result, the client is more active and engaged in their therapeutic journey. Most importantly, my person-centred psychotherapy style teaches clients a process of effectively evaluating their feelings, thoughts, behaviours, moods, life circumstances and physiological reactions to make choices that are more adaptive.

Psychotherapy is a talk-based therapy in which folks can explore their concerns related to life challenges, stressors, mental health and well-being in a non-judgemental space. I believe that “individual” concerns go beyond the individual and are deeply connected to the way we interact with the world and others. As such, my approach to psychotherapy draws on systemic therapies that focus on broader sociocultural influences, intersections of identity and relational patterns. I value collaboration, authenticity and anti-oppressive practice in the therapeutic space. Contact me for a free consultation to determine if we would be a good fit.

The process of therapy helps people step back, and look at things through the lens of an objective observer. In this way, individuals start to see strengths within themselves. As they see these strengths, with a therapist's help, people begin to make gradual changes in their lives. Adults, adolescents, & children see me in my practice in downtown Toronto for individual, couples, and family counseling. Their problems include anxiety, stress, depression, parent-child conflict, marital distress, trauma, and grief & bereavement.

I believe that working from a client-centred approach is essential in fostering lasting change. As such, I view each client as an expert in their own lives and integrate their goals in the therapeutic process. My approach draws on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy (therapy through relationship), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and neurophysiological research. I specialize in mental health, addictions, trauma, ABI, depression, anxiety, and other emotion and attention regulation difficulties. I offer short-term counselling and long-term psychotherapy to youth, adults, and couples in groups and individually.

Each client’s experience in psychotherapy is unique and deeply personal. Oftentimes, what may work well for one client, may not be as helpful for the next. I work collaboratively with clients to determine what psychotherapy may look like for you. I strive to provide an integrative mix of modalities, approaches and ideas to ensure you feel supported and hopeful in this journey. Working from a systemic viewpoint, I also strive to holistically explore an individual’s experience, beginning with the inner emotional experience and broadening to areas such as culture or societal expectations, for instance. Contact me today to begin your journey with psychotherapy.

I work with clients using a two-pronged approach - both practical and in-depth. Practical strategies are important in dealing with the management of feelings, anxieties and relationship issues but an in-depth understanding of unmet needs and how to address them is essential for long-term healing. I form-fit the approach, as best I can, to meet a client's goals for therapy.

I approach therapy as self-growth. Regardless of where we are in life we often what to make changes but do not always know how. In therapy, we explore different ways of working with your presenting concerns, identify what is going on, and set goals together. Work in therapy involves changing how you relate to your thoughts and feelings, knowing what to listen to and what to discard, reframe, or interrupt. Working with your feelings and mood states requires knowing when to go more deeply and attend to the inner experience, and when to shift negative mood states that are unhelpful to you. You will learn to have better control over your life and be more proactive when you are distressed.

Psychotherapy can help you cope with difficult life circumstances, recover from mental health concerns and it encourages healing and personal growth. Drawing on a variety of psychotherapy modalities, I create a compassionate, non-judgmental and healing space for you to work on becoming the best version of yourself through therapy. For those open and willing to do deeper and more meaningful work, I lean towards a more experiential and self-compassionate approach to therapy, utilizing techniques from Internal Family Systems (IFS) & Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO).
