Maryanne Nicholls
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
I work with people, who love to work but are ending up stressed, anxious, and exhausted. It may be that you believed that if you worked hard enough you could eventually gain the recognition you both desire and deserve, yet it never quite happens. At this point you start doubting yourself and questioning your efforts.
That’s my story too. I get it.
My desire is that working together, we can uncover those patterns that are keeping you stuck and find new ways that are both productive and fruitful for you in your life.
I personally believe that you can successfully tackle your stress and make changes that can lead to a fulfilling and re-energized life.

Jamie Inderjeit
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, hBS
If you're looking for a judgement-free space, where your needs and goals are our top priority, then you've found the right place. Together, you and I will explore your experiences and what it is that brings you into therapy, in a way that facilitates self-empowerment and reduces shame. Taking a hard look at ourselves can be scary, and even a bit overwhelming. As a person-centered professional, I'll be there to support you in all of those intense moments, and hold space for you to let those feelings out. I offer 20 minute free consultations for us to see if we're a strong fit, before officially starting our sessions together.
I specialize in ADHD management, anger management, addiction (online gambling), burnout, depression, and men's issues. Of course, you're welcome to bring anything into our sessions. Whatever the topic of our work together, it'll always be conducted in a zero judgement space.
You deserve to be supported and cared for. Those challenges you've been facing can be overcome with the help of a professional. If you're in need of a safe space where you can openly explore your feelings and find a way forward, then give me a shout so we can get our first session together started.

Dr. Sangeeta Tanwar @ Tanwar Psychology
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I am a registered Clinical Psychologist with a doctoral degree in psychology. I am licensed (#6854) by the College of Psychologists of Ontario. Additionally, I am a member of the Ontario Psychological Association and the American Psychological Association. I provide psychological services to the adult client population in-person as well as online through Owlpractice, a virtual platform for providing care virtually.
I follow an integrative treatment approach including Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Intervention includes evidence-based treatment plans and empirically proven techniques. The focus of the treatment is on empowering the client with an adaptive thinking style and more effective coping skills to deal with symptoms and the surrounding environment. The goal of the treatment is to the enhancement of well-being and improve experience of overall quality of life.
I value my clients with their individual strengths and struggles. I actively engage with clients to reflect on their successes and challenges and rebuild their belief in their strengths and expand them further. I value a multicultural perspective and respect for diverse cultural backgrounds. The initial session is generally an intake assessment dedicated to understanding the case history/life story and for the purpose of diagnosis of the problem. Subsequently, treatment goals are collaboratively determined, and a treatment plan is tailored considering specific life situations, struggles, stressors, and personal strengths of the client.

Tangled Minds Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Therapy can be tough. Often it's not fun - exploring the painful parts of ourselves, confronting our beliefs that keep us stuck, challenging our behaviors that keep us from fulling being present in our lives, learning new ways to be with our emotions, and setting goals that will probably be difficult to do. This is what sets therapy apart from a conversation with a good friend. My role is to provide a space for you to show up, exactly how you are, open up, be seen, and have a professional with years of experience guide you in how to navigate the maze that mental health problems create.

Stories in Safe Spaces Counselling

Although I work with all identities, I specialize in helping women who are juggling life changes; whether that’s the stress of parenting, the emotional weight of divorce, or figuring out who they are after it all. In our work together, you’ll find a calm, supportive space to make sense of things and start feeling more like yourself again. If you’re ready for a space that’s just for you, I’d love to connect.

Cimberly R Nesker
Registered Psychotherapist, B.A., MSc., PG Dip, CCC, CRPO
It is my belief that therapy is needed, by almost everyone, at some point in their life. Having someone who is an outside, objective advocate is often the first step to greater understanding of ourselves, our concerns and our worries.

Mariya Garnet
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist ( Qualifying)
You understand your childhood. You can name the patterns, trace the dynamics, explain exactly how it shaped you. But understanding hasn't changed how your body responds. You still brace when someone raises their voice. You still go quiet when you need something. You still feel that familiar flatness where emotion should be. Maybe you've done therapy before and it helped you see things more clearly. But the felt experience of being different hasn't caught up. That gap between knowing and feeling is real, and it isn't a failure of effort. It's where body-centered work begins.
I work with adults online across Ontario using somatic, relational, and expressive approaches to help you reconnect with your nervous system, your emotions, and the parts of yourself that had to go offline for survival.
Over time, the work can support a steadier relationship with your body and your feelings. Many people find that as the old survival patterns soften, there is more room to feel and a slow return of aliveness.

Jamie Clahane | Psychotherapy & Pastoral Care (virtual)
Registered Psychotherapist, MTS, RP
Thanks for taking the time to learn a little more about me. I am a registered psychotherapist providing pastoral psychotherapy for people across Ontario. This means I specialize in integrating clinical counselling and spiritual care. Why is this important? It is important because healing involves the whole person. Yes, healing involves emotional & cognitive processing and integration around unresolved wounds in one's life, but the deepest healing involves more. When we face personal struggles or crises it is an invitation to find deeper meaning and hope in our lives. It is here that I provide Christian counselling to help build a foundation of wellness and hope. In terms of psychotherapy, I focus on healing deeper issues that contribute to mental health symptoms. People may be struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or more complex presentations, such as obsessive compulsions, addiction patterns, complicated grief, emotional dysregulation, and more. Instead of simply learning how to manage symptoms, my approach is to gently uncover and work to heal deeper root issues underneath these symptoms that often include shame and self-rejection, unresolved grief, emotional injuries or trauma, for example. As we recover we can restore a healthy sense of self, a deepened faith, and a restored hope for one's life.

Shelley Murphy, Food & Body Image Hypnotherapist
Hypnotherapist, BASc, Former RD
I believe that meaningful change doesn’t come from forcing or fixing yourself, it comes from understanding yourself more deeply, and learning how to work with your mind and body, rather than against them. In my work as a clinical hypnotherapist, I often meet people who are capable, thoughtful, and self-aware, yet feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, overthinking, emotional eating, or self-doubt. These patterns can feel frustrating, especially when you’ve “tried everything” to change them. What I’ve seen, time and time again, is that real, lasting change happens when we gently access the deeper parts of the mind where these patterns are held. This is where hypnotherapy can be incredibly effective; supporting you to shift not just how you think, but how you feel, respond, and experience yourself day to day.

Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Finding your way back to a sense of balance, clarity, and inner steadiness is not always easy. Life can feel painful, confusing, or overwhelming at times, especially when you are carrying anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, grief, identity questions, or major life transitions.
In therapy, I see our work as collaborative. You are the expert on your own life and story, while I bring clinical training, curiosity, and experience to help us better understand what you are facing. My approach is person-centred, trauma-informed, and grounded in mindfulness. I integrate approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, CBT, MBCT, EMDR, CBT-I, and the Unified Protocol when appropriate.
I do not see mental health as the absence of painful thoughts or emotions. Difficult experiences are part of being human. What often matters is how we relate to those experiences and whether we can still move toward a life that feels meaningful, connected, and aligned with our values.
My hope is to offer a grounded, nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood as a whole person, not simply a collection of symptoms or problems. Together, we can work toward greater self-understanding, emotional steadiness, and meaningful change.

Jasmine Bruce
Pre-Licensed Professional, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) RPq, MACP, BA
Therapy isn’t only for life’s big, dramatic moments. It’s also for the quiet struggles, the daily stress, the relationships that feel harder than they should, the self-doubt you can’t quite shake. I work with people who’ve often felt like everyone else has it “figured out,” while they’re just trying to keep it together. If you’ve been wondering why life feels so much harder for you than it seems for others, you’re not alone.

Jonathan Christink
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, BEd, MEd, Registered Psychotherapist
I tell every new client I meet with, "don't worry, just because we're meeting for the first time does not mean you're stuck with me." It's so important to find a good fit. This means that you are free to find a therapist that both specializes in why you're reaching out, but also one that you connect with on a personal level. If both of those criteria are not met then you probably won't find success. I'd love to connect, but please know that the pressure is off. If I'm not a great fit, we'll look to find a better one. Ultimately this is about you, and that's a good thing!

Amanda Stokes
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, E-RYT 500
I believe everyone can benefit from working with a therapist. It provides an opportunity to talk openly and confidentially with someone whose sole intent is to form an alliance with you, for your wellbeing, but also to be able to witness your pain while in safe connection. I hope to guide you through any personal pain or suffering you may be experiencing and to help you gain clarity around your thoughts, emotions and to understand your life and experiences from a different perspective. I teach clients how to be with and process their emotions and to recognize nervous system dysregulation, negative thought patterns and potential trauma responses. Compassionately, we can look at trauma responses and other adaptive coping mechanisms as your psyche's way of protecting you. From that place, we might be able to heal and process emotional responses and choose new ways of behaving and thinking.

Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, and its therapy landscape reflects this extraordinary diversity, with practitioners representing hundreds of cultural backgrounds and dozens of languages. The city's high cost of living and intensely competitive professional environment drive demand for therapists addressing financial anxiety, burnout, and the psychological pressures of ambitious urban life. CAMH — the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health — is Canada's largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital, providing major institutional resources alongside Toronto's vast private practice and counselling community. Ontario's OHIP coverage is limited for psychotherapy, so many residents use extended health benefits or pay out of pocket to access private therapy.
