Find a Therapist in Canada

I have been in practice for 15 years, and assist individual adults with various issues such as trauma, depression, anxiety, anger, stress, substance use, difficult relationships, and other issues. All adults are welcome. In my sessions I draw on the strengths of a variety of different therapies, such as cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and many others, to help you achieve your therapy goals. I provide my clients with a safe and non-judgmental space to clarify and address their thoughts and emotions. I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist and a Counselling Therapist in Alberta, a Canadian Certified Counsellor (Canada), and also a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario, and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counsellor in California.

FREE INTRO Session - to see if we're a good fit. My main focus is working with ACAs - adults who were raised in an alcoholic / narcissistic family. The long-term goal is to uncover your True Self, develop a Loving Parent voice, heal the Wounded Child, & encourage the Healthy Child to shine. Together we identify the harsh beliefs you absorbed from your family, school & religion, and work on transforming them into positive do-able ‘rules’ to live by. EXP: “I know what I know”, “I have a right to my needs”, “”There’s no such thing as perfect”….. I also provide a safe place for you to experience painful or joyful emotions you weren't allowed to feel growing up. ACA Recovery work is about facing the reality of early damage, and working to overcome the after-effects. “Trying to flourish in an atmosphere of criticism is like trying to get sober in a bar.”

My work as a therapist is informed by the core principles with which I live my life. As a publicly out person of Kink, 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.  

I’ve spent over 20 years working with men in moments of doubt, conflict, and transition — and I’ve lived through those moments myself. I know what it’s like to carry everything on your shoulders, to feel responsible for everyone, and to have no place to fall apart. Men need a space where they can be honest without being judged, challenged without being shamed, and supported without being softened. Watching a man step into emotional clarity and grounded strength — not just confidence, but presence — is the reason I do this work.  

Reconnection is at the heart of my work. Many of the individuals and couples I support are thoughtful, capable, and high-functioning, yet find themselves feeling disconnected, whether from themselves or within their relationships. Often, this disconnection doesn’t happen all at once. It develops gradually through patterns that once served a purpose, but over time begin to create distance, pressure, or uncertainty. My approach to therapy is grounded, relational, and attachment-informed. I focus on helping clients understand the underlying patterns shaping their thoughts, emotions, and interactions, not to assign blame, but to create clarity. This includes exploring what is being said, as well as what may be harder to access or express. I aim to create a space that feels both safe and engaged. Alongside attunement and support, I offer gentle challenge to help clients move beyond familiar patterns and toward more intentional ways of relating. In our work together, we slow things down. We make sense of emotional responses, attachment dynamics, and survival strategies, so that change feels meaningful and sustainable, rather than forced Whether you are seeking individual support or navigating challenges within your relationship, therapy can be a space to reconnect, rebuild trust, and move forward with greater awareness.  

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Do you ever feel "stuck" in your daily life or unsure of how to go forward in a way that makes you happy? Do you feel as if your past experiences are dragging you down, or as if you're looking out the window into a fog that won't lift? Is there a relationship with yourself or others that you'd like to strengthen? We can discuss the steps that have led you to this point, as well as the steps you would like to take in the future to improve your well-being. I am passionate about treating each individual I meet as someone with unique therapeutic needs, and I would love to hear from you.  

As a psychotherapist, couple and family therapist, ecotherapist and creative arts therapist, I work with adults, couples and groups at diverse stages of life. My work is systemic in that I see individuals as impacted by, and interconnected within, larger networks of relationships and social systems. The values underlying my practice are rooted in a long-term dedication to social justice, my belief in creativity as a healing force, and my love and respect for the natural world. Seeking help takes courage, and no one approach works for everyone. I work collaboratively, and tailor my approach to each unique person.  

Everyone experiences life’s challenges differently, and my goal is to make sense of it together. I will strive to ensure that you feel heard, understood, and comfortable to express your needs and concerns. I am committed to using a dynamic and collaborative approach throughout the therapeutic process. I have experience supporting individuals, couples, and families experiencing emotional and relational distress, grief/loss, anxiety, and depression. I aspire to help you cultivate greater awareness of yourself as well as your strengths while maximizing the resources and tools that are accessible to you.

The focus of my work is addictive and compulsive sexual activity. If you want to stop some behaviors, but cannot, I can help you. It is not about eliminating sex, but rather, helping you shift from objectified sex to more connected sex, strengthening your sense of personal integrity. The goal is a healthier and happier intimate relationship with your partner or partners. Oh, and you will be able to leave your phone, face up, anywhere without worry.  

Hello, I’m Andrea Wiebe, a therapist passionate about supporting individuals, couples, and pregnant and parenting people navigating trauma, mental health challenges, relationship difficulties, and existential concerns. I am a Certified Perinatal Mental Health and Birth & Reproductive Trauma Specialist (CC-PMH, CC-BRT), an EMDRIA-trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist, and an ICEEFT-trained Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) therapist serving residents of Ontario, Canada. I am a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) and a member of the Ontario Association of Social Workers (OASW). I hold a Master of Social Work from the University of Toronto (2013) and a Bachelor of Social Work and Social Development degree from the University of Waterloo. Since 2013, I have worked with clients from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds in individual, couples, and family counselling across various social service and counselling agencies. In 2019, I transitioned to private practice to focus on supporting: couples seeking deeper connection, pregnant and parenting people facing new or unexpected challenges, and individuals healing from past trauma while navigating the pressures of modern life. In my practice, I take a holistic approach that considers the interplay of mental, emotional, physical, social, spiritual, and environmental factors in each person and relationship. My therapeutic approach integrates EMDR, EFT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). I also draw on my lived experience of relationship challenges, mental health struggles, postpartum mood disorders, trauma, grief, parenting, and existential questioning. These experiences have shaped my approach to therapy, emphasizing practical guidance, compassionate support, and the empowerment of clients to see their situations differently, challenge unhelpful patterns, and create meaningful change. Ultimately, my goal is to help clients feel safe to be authentic with themselves and their partner; communicate with curiosity; build confidence as a parent; problem-solve in a calm, non-judgmental way; live with self-awareness and compassion; heal from past trauma; release unhelpful beliefs and coping strategies; and cultivate joyful, meaningful lives grounded in love and connection with themselves and others. I believe therapy is valuable for everyone, as no one is immune to life’s challenges. Speaking with a trained professional can empower individuals to overcome obstacles, achieve personal goals, and gain new insights into themselves and their relationships. Please contact me if you would like to schedule a free consultation to ensure client-therapist fit and review important information before beginning therapy.  

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with 7 years of training from the Centre for Training in Psychotherapy, practicing in the east end of Toronto. I treat a range of mental health concerns with a special interest in anxiety, depression, stress and trauma recovery. In my therapeutic work I draw from my training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, steeped in relational, interpersonal, and attachment-based practices; allowing for therapy with safety, openness, and commitment in supporting people through all of the complexities of their personal process.  

I work with a variety of concerns including anxiety, stress, work life balance and loss. I see adults, teens and children. I use CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and am also trained to work with children using a child centered play therapy approach.  

Welcome to Refocus the Senses At Refocus the Senses, we provide compassionate, clinically grounded counselling and supervision services with a strong foundation in Christian values, emotional wellness, and whole-person care. We support individuals, couples, families, and helping professionals navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, grief, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions, while also offering neurodiversity-affirming support for Autism, ADHD, and AuDHD. Christian counselling is available for those who wish to integrate faith into the healing process in a safe, respectful, and client-led way. We believe people should never have to choose between sound clinical care and their faith. In addition to counselling services, we offer clinical supervision for counsellors seeking supportive, reflective spaces to grow in confidence, strengthen clinical skills, process complex cases, and thoughtfully integrate faith and practice where desired. Our approach is rooted in compassion, curiosity, nervous system awareness, and meaningful connection—helping people move toward greater clarity, regulation, healing, and restored living. You do not have to navigate this alone.  

What moves us forward is often done with support, and the courage to take the first step. My approach is to bring compassion for the difficulties of doing all of this and more, and bringing the strategies and tools to make it happen. Clarity, compassion and connection are my cornerstone qualities that we bring to our work together to build the confidence in yourself. Life can be challenging but also full of opportunities to grow more into yourself, your life and your joy.  

Transformational change is possible for you. I’ll help you unlock your potential and create a more fulfilling life.  

Hi, I’m Sherine Chacko, a Registered Social Worker with over 16 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through emotional, relational, and life challenges. I often work with clients who look like they are managing on the outside but feel overwhelmed internally. You may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship stress, emotional reactivity, lack of motivation, or a sense of disconnection from yourself. You may be seeking coping strategies, but also wanting to understand yourself more deeply. My goal is to create a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space where you can speak openly, feel understood, and begin making meaningful changes. I believe therapy works best when it is collaborative. I do not see my role as doing the work for you, but as walking alongside you as you develop insight, confidence, emotional clarity, and practical tools for your life. I also believe that no person exists in isolation. Your relationships, culture, values, faith, family history, and life experiences all matter. In therapy, we will consider the full context of who you are — not just your symptoms.  

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) dedicated to creating a safe, affirming, and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and supported. I believe meaningful healing begins through authentic connection; therefore, my approach is grounded in empathy, trust, collaboration, and respect. I currently pursue a Master of Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University and hold an Honours Bachelor of Health Sciences from University of Ottawa. In addition, my professional background in special education and community engagement has allowed me to support youth with diverse abilities while advocating for inclusion, accessibility, and systemic change.  

I am passionate about helping you to show up as your authentic self in a supportive and affirming environment. I take a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive and feminist approach focused on creating a safe and comfortable environment for all clients. My goal is to create a compassionate, non-judgmental, and safe environment where you can express yourself, share your story, and learn to use your inherent strengths and skills to make changes in your life. I am excited to connect with you and answer any questions you might have with a free 15-minute consultation where we can discuss what it might be like to work together.
