Approaching anxiety with compassion and curiosity allows for identification and acceptance of our different self states, working with emotional regulation, functional boundaries, self-agency and acceptance in each unique life experience.

Florence MacGregor
Registered Psychotherapist, MFA, MPS, Embodiment Coach
Many scared texts say; don't be afraid. However, courage and fear go hand in hand. It's ok to be afraid of change and transition. In fact, fear may become the driving force for your life to find the courage that it takes to move on, move forward or move through a challenging time.

Rom Malik
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Ed., R.P.
Anxiety and anticipating unpleasant outcomes can interfere with our pursuits, happiness and relationships. It can come in various forms: panic attacks, obsessions, fears of people, things and situations. It can be experienced in chest pains, heart palpitations, phobias, and shortness of breath. How it is dealt with can also vary from facing it head-on to avoidance, denial, excessive alcohol, passivity, and impulsive actions. Together, we will look at what you are anxious about, explore the roots of the anxieties and then work towards dismantling these anxieties at the root while helping you deal more constructively with them.

Victoria Lorient-Faibish
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd, RP, CCC, RPE
Anxiety is one of the Goliaths of our time.
There is no way around the mountain of pain and darkness; you have to go through in order to get to the light on the other side.
The work I offer works to pull out all the tools to support you on the sometimes arduous trek toward inner peace.
Part of being a spiritual warrior is having the courage to shine a light on the monsters that are keeping you stuck—to look at the obstacles to finding your self-culture squarely in the eye—and when you see the dark within, you have to name it, claim it and then transform it. This process is a kind of facing one's imagined demons so as to finally slay them!
The feelings of turmoil, self doubt, insecurity are all part of the darkness that if left untouched will take over..... The only way to neutralize and transform any part of yourself that is causing you pain and grief is to completely and courageously shine a light on it and then systematically master it through a process of detecting it, disrupting it and eventually replacing it.
Breathwork, visualization, thought logs, parts work, supplements, talk therapy as well as somatic focusing are all part of the tool box we draw from in order to neutralize anxiety holistically.

Kai DeMaeyer - Talk with Kai - Intimacy and Identity
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Qualifying)
Anxiety is often the mind doing its best to keep you safe, even when it's gotten a bit too good at the job. I work with people who are exhausted from overthinking, avoiding, or holding everything together on the outside while bracing for impact on the inside. We'll look at what's underneath it, not just how to manage the surface.

Jane Allen
Psychologist, Master Counselling, BSc. Eng, MBA
You are not alone if you have anxieties or fears. Anxieties and fears stop people from moving out of their comfort zones, pursuing goals and leading fulfilling lives. I work with my clients to fully understand the nature of their anxiety and to find root causes. I also work on managing the physiological responses, challenging thoughts, detaching from thoughts, and developing new habits.

Audrey Kao
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
At the core of an insecure attachment style is the fear of rejection/abandonment. This fear can cause overwhelming anxiety that leads us to act in ways that unintentionally sabotages our relationships e.g. pulling away when things get too close for comfort, communicating in indirect ways, refraining from answering someone's calls and text to make a point.
In our work together, we will work through this fear and learn to manage it better so that it doesn't get in the way of us having the healthy relationships we deserve.

Natalia Vyzhol
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Anxiety and fear often signal deeper emotional patterns and subconscious beliefs that deserve attention—not avoidance. My approach focuses on helping individuals understand and work through these layers with clarity, compassion, and practical tools.
Using an integrative blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and exposure techniques when appropriate, I support the process of:
• Developing self-awareness around anxiety triggers and emotional responses
• Building practical coping strategies to regulate nervous system activation
• Exploring the subconscious roots of fear and limiting beliefs
• Strengthening emotional resilience and inner confidence
• Creating space for choice, reflection, and empowered action
Whether navigating generalized anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, or social discomfort, this work is about reconnecting with your inner stability and learning to move through life with greater ease and self-trust.
Together, we’ll create a personalized plan that supports your growth—not just symptom relief—and helps you build a more grounded, responsive relationship with yourself and the world around you.

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.
