Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
At Therapedia Centre in Toronto, we are a passionate collective of psychotherapists and art therapists who bring together clinical rigor and creative insight. Our team is deeply committed to offering inclusive, culturally-sensitive care that spans children, adolescents, adults, and families. Drawing from evidence-based modalities — including CBT, ACT, mindfulness, solution-focused approaches, expressive and somatic therapies — we integrate mindfulness practices, psychotherapy (and art therapy interventions) to help clients express what words sometimes cannot. Whether through visual art, mindful awareness, or therapeutic talk, we aim to help you reconnect with your strengths, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change.
Our safe, affirming space honours diverse identities, neuro-divergent experiences, multicultural backgrounds, and the full spectrum of human emotion — because healing is as unique as you are.

Treatment Approach
- Art Therapy Uses creative activities like drawing, painting, or sculpture as a way to express emotions. It is especially helpful when words are hard to find.
- Behavioral Therapy Uses learning techniques like reinforcement and practice to change unwanted behaviors. It is often applied to phobias, anxiety, and habits.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Builds skills in self-kindness and compassion toward others. It is especially helpful for people who struggle with shame or self-criticism.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Multicultural Therapy Acknowledges the role of culture, race, and identity in mental health. It values diversity and adapts treatment to each person’s background.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Play Therapy Uses toys, games, and creative play to help children express emotions. It is especially useful when children can’t fully verbalize their feelings.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- Psychosocial Therapy Looks at how social and environmental factors affect psychological health. It emphasizes relationships, community, and resilience.
- Sandplay Therapy Uses sand trays and miniature figures to allow symbolic expression. It is especially helpful for children and trauma survivors.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: Our psychotherapists have an eclectic approach; meaning that based on the needs of the clients they may utilize art therapy approaches, cognitive-behavioral or mindfulness techniques. Trauma-informed art therapy and solution-focused art therapy are also incorporated into the sessions.

At Therapedia Centre, we offer psychotherapy in Toronto and North York for children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. Our psychotherapists are trained in a wide range of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), art therapy, Gestalt therapy, and trauma-informed therapy.
We specialize in art therapy for children in North York, supporting young clients who experience anxiety, depression, phobias, social difficulties, chronic illness, or a history of trauma and abuse. Through creative and evidence-based interventions, children learn to express emotions safely, build self-confidence, and develop healthy coping skills.
Our team also provides psychotherapy for adults facing anxiety, depression, anger management issues, relationship difficulties, and life transitions such as separation or divorce. For older adults and seniors, our art therapy services help improve well-being and quality of life for those living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, depression, or psychosocial isolation.
With locations in Downtown Toronto (Yonge and Bloor) and East Toronto (Greektown), Therapedia Centre offers a compassionate, inclusive space where creativity and psychology meet.
