Relational Psychotherapy
Sarah Colen
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Whether it be depression, anxiety, disordered eating, low self-worth, or anything else in between, being stuck in the cycle of "not good enough" can make anyone feel unsafe and unassured in their future. Through an anti-oppressive and healing-centered lens, I emphasize the importance of a supportive, open, and warm therapeutic space. In using compassion, warmth, and non-judgment, I believe in a collective-modality approach-- a blend of IFS, Somatic Experiencing, Mindful Self-Compassion, and EFT--to help you achieve your specific therapeutic goals. While I work with a range of issues (like Anxiety, Depression, and PTSD), my area of expertise is in Eating Disorders/ Disordered Eating. Most importantly, my aim is to help others find balance, stability, hope, and joy in their lives. When you feel ready, let's begin to mend the parts of you that feel "not enough". I look forward to watching you heal, grow, and thrive.

Whitney Reinhart
Registered Psychotherapist, MA., RP.
*I currently have a waitlist for new clients *
The action you have made to seek help is not an easy one, rather it demonstrates great strength, commitment, and resiliency. The effects of trauma can leave us feeling vulnerable and unsafe long after the event itself. So often people can be left feeling hopeless, disconnected, and ashamed. Healing these wounds are essential to developing a strong sense of self, positive self view, and safety within relationships. I work from a trauma-informed perspective and pull from approaches that will allow us to build an understanding of the protective strategies formed to survive the emotional and mental impact of the trauma and cultivate self-acceptance and trust with ourselves and others. I hope to create a space where you feel valued, seen, and safe as I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important part of the healing process.
Primarily, I work with those who have experienced recent and historical trauma, such as attachment trauma and abuse/assault. Additionally, I work with clients seeking support for emotional distress (e.g., reactivity, difficulties regulating, depression, anxiety), interpersonal relationships (e.g., relationship patterns, vulnerability issues), self-esteem issues, and personality disorders, among other areas as well. My practice is inclusive, as I work with diverse problems, histories and cultural identities, and ensure the approaches used are catered to each unique individual. My hope is to work together to heal old wounds and painful current experiences, and guide you through your journey towards a healthier life and empower you to become your most authentic self.

David Rockman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW RSW BA psych hon
In uncertain times, it is common to feel overwhelmed by difficulties and feel stuck in a cycle of challenges in the 6 general arenas of human experience: habituated repertoire of thoughts, emotions, soma, behaviours, situations, and environment. Many of the problems we experience are not our fault, but they can still have a significant impact on our mental health and well-being. As a psychotherapist with 27 years of experience in Toronto, I have helped countless individuals effectively and quickly resolve a variety of issues, including self-other relationship stressors, trauma from sexual abuse, emotional regulation, feelings of betrayal and abandonment, social anxiety, self-blame, self-esteem issues, motivation problems, and mis-transits of anger, shame and grief.

New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
We are a team of Registered Psychotherapists and Social Workers who specialize in supporting individuals through effective and research backed trauma, relationship, and sex therapy.
We began as a trauma focused clinic - our team has a solid understanding of the countless small and large ways that trauma impacts us. We work with traumatic stress and related difficulties such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD and complexPTSD), addiction, self-harm, and suicide ideation. We support survivors of sexual violence as well as those who have experienced emotional and physical abuse, criminal victimization, bullying, war, and near death experiences.
We've found that as people heal, relationships and intimacy naturally becomes a secondary focus. For this reason we offer family, couples, and sex therapy. We support individuals of all gender and sexual identities and relationship structures.
We respect diversity and differences in opinions, values and attitudes. This is reflected through individualized treatment plans which consider each individuals lived and generational experiences. We strive to provide culturally-sensitive, non-discriminatory, and affirming care to culturally diverse populations and BIPOC, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, kink and polyamorous communities.
Our goal is to help you break free from your past and rediscover a fulfilling life filled with joy and connection.

I am a staunch supporter of LGBTQIA+ rights, have participated in and presented at events for the Kink and Alt-Sex community, and teach workshops on the complexity and importance of positive consent practices and compassionate communication. I believe Sex Work is Work. I believe Black Lives Matter. I believe Trans Rights are Human Rights. I have a deep and abiding awareness of my own particular privilege and advantages and will approach any work with you with these principles held strongly in mind.

Forouz Salari
Registered Social Worker, MA, MSW, RSW
I am a white-passing, Middle-Eastern, bisexual, cis-gender, neurotypical woman and a first-generation immigrant and settler (who came to Canada as a refugee, during childhood).
I’ve also lived through experiences of trauma, displacement, mental illness, divorce, chronic illness and chronic pain.
So, I know what it’s like to feel lost, confused, doubtful, overwhelmed, frustrated, misunderstood, lonely, exhausted, and just not good enough! I know the effort and energy it takes to step into and embrace a journey of self-discovery, healing and growth, not knowing where it might lead. I also know how incredibly transformative it can be!
That must be why you're here too - ready and looking for something in your life to change for the better. I'm here to help!
