Jonathan Christink
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, BEd, MEd, Registered Psychotherapist
Growing up can be challenging enough in and of itself, but even more so because it doesn't often get the recognition it deserves. As an adult so many of our decisions are filtered through the lens of our life experiences and what we've learned across time. Children and teens do not have this wise guide to inform them through the complex decisions in front of them, so it's no wonder they struggle. If you're looking for a child and/or adolescent therapist I'd be honoured to connect with you and explore our fit further.

Adrienne Sharma-Richardson PhD MEd RP OCT
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Gestalt Psychotherapist Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Gottman Trained Couples Therapist
With my many years in education I am able and skilled at working with and relating to children and adolescents.
However what I believe makes me truly effective is that I am approachable.
What can I say kids like my smile!
It's also probably because I am still a kid at heart, and because I know what its like for kids to suffer trauma.
My father died when I was 10, he was an alcoholic and was abusive.
I grew up with prejudice, as I am half East Indian.
I moved out when I was 15 because I couldn't stand my step-father.
I started using drugs when I was 13 stopped at 26.
I believe kids need structure and discipline to keep them safe.
My students always said Miss Richardson is really tough.
She is firm but fair, and we have fun!

While I do not work with youth under the age of 16, our clinic has many child and family therapists who are availability to schedule a free consultation. Since children are often impacted by family dynamics, we often find the most effective way to work with children, ages 6-11, is within the context of family therapy.

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.
