Frances Brown
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.Ed, MPCC, MTC
Online therapy provides easy, convenient access. Your Telehealth (zoom.us) session can be conducted from whereever you are located. For couples, if you can't be in the same room, you can still meet me in my virtual office. It works as well as in person counselling. With travel time eliminated, it is a time saver.
Many clients prefer the comfort of home or the convenience of connecting while still at the office.
If you are considering online counselling but not sure if it is right for you, please book a free 15 minute consultation to see if it suits you and if we are a good match. Book a free 15 minute consultation today!

Jonah Fialkow
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
Although many people prefer the connection of in-person therapy, online therapy offers many unexpected benefits. As a clinician, I appreciate getting to see people in the comfort of their own home and meet their pets. Sometimes seeing someone in their own space helps me understand things about them that I otherwise would not. It can be a helpful tool for busy people to get to therapy appointments regularly without worrying about travel time - I often see busy professionals over lunch. For people in remote locations, it can make specialized therapy more accessible.

Somatic Healing Arts, Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MA-ExAT
Healing is not a linear path — it’s a creative, embodied unfolding. As an Expressive Arts and Somatic Therapist, I offer a space where movement, image, sound, and story come together to help you reconnect with your body’s wisdom and your inner voice. Through gentle curiosity and creative exploration, we work to release what has been held, rediscover your resilience, and move toward a greater sense of aliveness and wholeness.
Whether you are navigating stress, trauma, transitions, or simply longing to feel more connected to yourself, our sessions invite you to listen deeply — not just with your mind, but with your whole being.

Ferzana Jamani
Counsellor/Therapist, BA, RTC
Do you feel stuck and disconnected? I support individuals and couples in addressing their well-being and feel more connected. With empathy, compassion, and deep understanding, I hope to create a safe, warm, and non-judgmental environment where you feel comfortable to explore your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. As we are all social animals who need to be seen and heard in our relationships; we can only feel complete when we have authentic connections.
I practice from a client-centered approach embedded with transpersonal and somatic therapy techniques to support you in feeling more connected to your mind and body. My focus is on individual and family relationships, intergenerational and racial trauma, limiting self beliefs, feminist perspectives, and mental health and substance use disorders.
I know that coming to therapy can be terrifying. I honor you in taking this brave step for yourself. I am dedicated to being truthful with you and work with you at your pace with care, compassion, and gentleness. I invite you to reach out and schedule a FREE introductory consultation session. Together, we can unlock your true potential.

Andrew Saliba
Counsellor/Therapist, CCC (Registration No. 11246757), APC (Registration No. 834ON24)
Perhaps you're looking to save travel time and want it to be easy to find time to meet that works with your schedule. If so, perhaps online would work well for you.
Appointments for couples can also be done online. Simply have one partner join the meeting while the other is in the room with them. This allows for the three of us to meet together and, if needed, for partners to be able to speak to each other in session.

I can offer my counselling, coaching and hypnotherapy services securely online. Many of my clients find it just as helpful as sitting together in the office. The only service that cannot be offered online is neurofeedback because it requires you to be connected to specific equipment.

Liz Dean
Registered Social Worker, M.S.W., R.S.W
Feeling alone? I would love to support you with therapy personalized to you and your unique needs. Sometimes we find ourselves feeling disconnected, insecure, anxious, angry, sad and exhausted - at ourselves, the world, our family and friends. We don't know what to do about it and it can make us feel utterly alone. Together we can find a path forward so you can move more easily and authentically through life. I work with people experiencing struggles like self-doubt, loneliness, anxiety, depression, ADHD, chronic pain or illness, emotional dysregulation and difficulties in relationships or new stages of life.
My style is direct and genuinely non-judgemental. You will hear me say “that makes sense because…” a lot. My goal is to create a space where you can understand what is going on in your life. Because when we understand and accept where we are, we can begin to see a different path for our future - and begin to like ourselves and our lives life more.

Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
You're doing everything right — and somehow still feel like you're drowning.
Work. Kids. Relationships. The endless list of things that need you. On the outside, you're holding it together. But inside, you're exhausted, anxious, and quietly wondering when it gets to be your turn.
You don't need someone to tell you to breathe more or journal your feelings. You need someone who actually gets it — and helps you figure out why you keep ending up here, and how to stop.
I draw from ACT, DBT-informed skills, and Solution-Focused approaches — grounded, practical, and at a pace that works for you.
Virtual sessions available across Ontario. In-person in Toronto. Free 15-minute consultation — reach out to start.
