Isabelle Tremblay
Life Coach, Isabelle Tremblay is a Purpose, Power & Mindset Coach helping high-achieving women move from burnout
If you’re a high achieving professional feeling burned out, overwhelmed, or disconnected despite your success, you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate it alone.
I specialize in burnout recovery, mindset transformation, and purpose driven leadership for ambitious women who are ready to reclaim their energy, confidence, and direction. My approach goes beyond traditional coaching by addressing the root causes of stress, overperformance, and misalignment, helping you create lasting, sustainable change.
With over 20 years of experience in high level executive environments, I understand the pressure to constantly perform, lead, and deliver. I provide a space where you can reset, gain clarity, and rebuild from a place of strength, not exhaustion.
Clients choose to work with me because they are ready for real transformation, not quick fixes. Together, we move you from burnout to clarity, from pressure to purpose, and from success on the outside to fulfillment on the inside.
If you’re ready to feel like yourself again and lead your life with intention and confidence, I invite you to reach out.

Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Sometimes life can leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. You may be navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, ADHD, disordered eating, family stress, or the impact of difficult or unsafe relationships. Whatever brings you to therapy, you do not have to figure it out alone.
I work with youth, adults, and couples to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences, build on your strengths, and move toward healing and growth. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that therapy should be tailored to the person in front of me.
Together, we can explore patterns, develop practical tools, strengthen emotional regulation, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that feels manageable. Taking the first step can feel intimidating, but reaching out for support is a sign of strength.

Mind Path Therapy
Therapist, MSW, RSW
Psychotherapy should be more than identifying symptoms and applying a one-size-fits-all method. My approach is collaborative and integrative, grounded in a holistic assessment that sees you in the full context of your life. That means paying close attention to your experiences, creating a mutual understanding of where the pain lies, and developing the insights and skills that will empower you to move forward toward the relationships and goals that matter most to you. I bring decades of experience as a social worker and psychotherapist working with diverse clients and cultures, and offer a warm, non-judgmental space where real and lasting change becomes possible.

Craig Maxfield
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
I work with adults, often men, who know something needs to change but may not be sure how to move forward. You may be dealing with anxiety or self-doubt, a strong inner critic, relationship patterns that keep repeating, or simply feeling stuck despite functioning well in many areas of your life.
My approach is practical, collaborative and focused on helping you understand what is keeping you stuck while finding realistic ways to make change. Together, we can work toward greater clarity, perspective and confidence in how you respond to the challenges in your life.
I know that change is possible, and you don't have to figure everything out on your own. I offer a free consultation so we can talk about what brings you to therapy and whether working together feels like a good fit.

Dennis Keefe
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A.
I have always been a big advocate of jumping into action and finding ways to address problems through concrete, focused strategies. I also honour the important need to foster compassion, validation and understanding as a foundation with you before this occurs. I specialize in helping adults navigate the emotional impact of chronic illness, chronic pain, disability, and significant changes in health or physical functioning. These experiences can affect your identity, relationships, independence, confidence, and hope for the future. I also address a broad array of other mental health issues: Anxiety, depression, ADHD and others.

Are you looking for support managing anxiety? Would you like to address an addiction to drinking or other substances? Do you have questions about supporting a loved one who is struggling with an addiction? Is perimenopause affecting you emotionally as well as physically?
I primarily work with individuals looking for support with these and other mental health concerns. This may include exploring sobriety, navigating life’s challenges such as ending relationships, feeling overwhelmed by career shifts, and coping with changes in body image and self-worth during perimenopause.

Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
What I offer isn't a formula. It's a real conversation — one that gets underneath the noise and into what's actually driving the patterns. My focus is simple: helping you simplify your life, reconnect with what love and joy mean to you, and re-establish yourself on your own terms.
Life is change. Stagnant water goes stale — but flowing water nourishes everything it touches. Therapy is how you keep moving, on purpose, toward the life that's meant for you.
That change can begin with a single session

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.

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!

Jane Allen
Psychologist, Master Counselling, BSc. Eng, MBA
Many of my clients feel lost or stuck in their lives. They often feel troubled by their relationships, work situations, unmet dreams, and transitions into different stages of life. Our culture does not offer many forums for authentic exploration of life's challenges. My work supports you in exploring the underlying causes of such feelings as anxiety, depression, fear, emptiness, despair, resentment, anger.
I offer a very non-judgmental environment where we can examine different life patterns and core beliefs which may be negatively affecting your quality of life. If you feel isolated in your challenges, I can offer perspectives and insights that will help you understand yourself more and discover that you are not alone.
My goal is to provide hope, insight and new perspectives to my clients. I am an avid reader, researcher and learner and work to find a good match with each client and a suitable counselling approach. Working as a psychologist is a second career for me. I have extensive life experience and work experience in science, business and work teams.

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.
