James "Jamie" Myslik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
When working with life transitions I try to walk alongside my clients, exploring the impacts of them on people's emotions, social lives, work lives, and more. I often work with folks to build confidence in the face of uncertainty, self-compassion when confidence is hard to connect to, and the foundations of a roadmap forward.

Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Life transitions—even the positive ones—can pull us out of our comfort zone and trigger 'parts' of us that feel anxious, overwhelmed, or lost. Drawing on over 15 years of experience guiding individuals through major life shifts, I understand that change often ripples into our deepest insecurities.
Whether you are navigating a career move, a relocation, or a shift in your family dynamic, I provide a stabilizing space to help you find your footing. We work together to understand the 'survival strategies' that emerge during times of uncertainty, helping you move through the transition with clarity and a strengthened sense of self-worth. My goal is to help you transform a time of upheaval into an opportunity for genuine personal growth.

Hannah Bickle | Self, Relationships, Emotions
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Q)
Periods of change often invite us to reevaluate who we are, what we want, and where we are headed. Whether you are navigating a career change, the end of a relationship, a move, or another significant life transition, it is natural to feel uncertain or overwhelmed.
In therapy, we can create space to explore what this transition means for you, helping you move forward with greater clarity, self-understanding, and confidence.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Life transitions can be deeply unsettling — even when they are wanted. Career changes, burnout, grief, relationships, parenthood, diagnosis, loss, identity shifts, trauma, or neurodivergent self-discovery can all challenge how you see yourself and where you are headed.
My approach is compassionate, practical, and grounded in helping you make sense of change without losing yourself in it.
Together, we work to better understand what this transition is bringing up, navigate uncertainty, support your nervous system, and help you move forward in ways that feel more realistic, meaningful, and aligned with who you are becoming.

Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Life transitions can bring uncertainty, grief, stress, identity shifts, and emotional overwhelm, even when the change is positive. Whether you are navigating a breakup, new role, parenting, school, career change, aging, or a major decision, therapy can help you process the transition and move forward with more clarity and support.

Samuele Bariani
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP
I have a deep interest in supporting people who deal with the challenges of being a foreigner, immigrant or newcomer. Living abroad can be exciting, but being far from home, navigating cultural differences, or going through difficult moments without your support system can feel overwhelming. As an expat myself, I witnessed firsthand the complexity of integrating myself into a new culture, including loneliness, stress, and the constant feeling of uncertainty between a familiar past and an unknown future.

Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Major life changes can stir up anxiety, grief, uncertainty, identity questions, and self-doubt. Whether you are navigating a relationship shift, career change, aging, relocation, loss, or a new stage of life, therapy can help you process what is changing and reconnect with what matters. Together, we can make space for both the difficulty and the possibility within transition.

Kai DeMaeyer - Talk with Kai - Intimacy and Identity
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Qualifying)
Sometimes life changes in ways you chose, and it still hits harder than expected. Sometimes it changes without your permission entirely. Either way, transitions tend to surface questions about identity, direction, and who you are outside of the role or chapter that just ended. That disorientation is worth taking seriously, not just pushing through until the next thing settles.

Kim Michael
Counsellor/Therapist, RP, MACP, CHT,CTP
Major life changes—career shifts, divorce, relocation, new parenthood—can feel both exciting and destabilizing. Therapy helps you navigate uncertainty, manage stress, and find steady footing during times of change. Together, we turn transition into an opportunity for growth and renewal.

Shemina Jeraj
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Life is ever changing and we will all pass through different phases in our lives. Sometimes these phases are planned and sometimes we are thrown into a phase by circumstances. These transitions can be challenging like sailing through choppy waters. Therapy can help provide an unbiased view of these situations and offer a place of calm during a storm. It can also offer tools to help navigate the situation in a best possible manner.

Mind Path Therapy
Therapist, MSW, RSW
We all experience significant changes. Entering and graduating from high school, our first date, the decision to raise a family, career changes, the death of a loved one, and entering retirement, all represent common transition periods. How we navigate these pivotal periods of our lives has a big impact on our mental health. We may struggle to adjust to new demands, different relationships, and finding ourselves in roles that challenge our sense of self and our innate capacity to cope with change. Life transitions counselling provides you with the safe and empathetic space you need to increase your understanding of your path through change and develop a set of tools that help you respond to your unique context and challenges. Acceptance, emotional processing, grief work (we can't grow out of and towards change without a loss), consolidating your values, and creating a narrative based on resiliency are all ways we can work together to help you make the transition you're currently experiencing. If you're in the middle of a transition and feel like you could use support, please reach out for a free consultation so we can talk about where you are and how I can help.

Sierra Gaudreault
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Change can be incredibly destabilizing, whether it be one that you were expecting or one that takes you completely by surprise. We can suffer more with change when we try to wrestle against it with denial, shutting down, driving ourselves mad with unanswerable questions or trying to control everything around us. I use emotion regulation techniques to help you accept what is and is not within your control, cope with the discomfort and grieve the loss of how things were before. I also use narrative techniques to help you update your life story in more helpful ways, rewrite your relationship with uncertainty and rebuild your ability to trust yourself to handle whatever life throws your way.

Jonathan Christink
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, BEd, MEd, Registered Psychotherapist
Navigating major life transitions often disrupts our sense of stability, leaving us to cope with intense uncertainty, stress, and shifting identities. Seeking counselling support provides a safe, structured space to process these overwhelming changes without judgment. With specialized care, you can develop practical coping strategies, gain valuable perspective, and successfully rebuild a meaningful path forward.

Lexi Gayne Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Navigating a major life shift, whether it is a career change, the end of a relationship, or entering a new phase of life, can leave you feeling completely unmoored. Even positive transitions often bring a surprising amount of grief and uncertainty. When the ground shifts beneath you, it is entirely normal to question who you are and what comes next. I offer a steady, grounding presence to help you navigate this messy "in-between" phase. Together, we will gently honor what you are leaving behind while actively building the clarity and resilience you need to step confidently into your next chapter. You do not have to have it all figured out right now, and you certainly do not have to go through it alone.

Lauren Kalvari
Registered Social Worker, PhD, MSW, RSW
Major life transitions can affect identity, relationships, emotional stability, spirituality, and one’s sense of direction or belonging in the world. Experiences such as divorce, career changes, illness, caregiving, loss, changes in faith or community, parenting shifts, relocation, or emerging awareness following difficult relationships can leave people feeling emotionally overwhelmed, uncertain, or disconnected from themselves.
I provide trauma-informed virtual psychotherapy for adults navigating life transitions, chronic stress, grief, anxiety, relational change, and periods of emotional or existential uncertainty. Therapy offers space to process complex emotions, understand patterns that may no longer serve you, strengthen self-trust, and move toward greater clarity, stability, and meaning. My approach is culturally aware and attentive to the broader relational, spiritual, and social contexts that shape how people experience change, loss, identity, and healing.

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.
