Victoria Lorient-Faibish
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd, RP, CCC, RPE
Parenting cam often be so overwhelming that we end up just repeating what we saw and what was normalized in our family of origin. My passion is working with clients to break all multi generational cycles and patterns of dysfunction that they may have learned from family of origin. We unpack the "family-culture".... those unspoken ways of being that create strife in parenting. Guilt, shame, anger, poor communication, lack of follow through, teen age rebellion are all part of the work that we unpack in sessions about parenting.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Parenting can be deeply rewarding, exhausting, confusing, and emotionally intense — especially when you are trying to support a child while also navigating your own stress, trauma, neurodivergence, or uncertainty.
While I am not a parent myself, my background includes extensive experience working with children, families, education, behavioral support, and foster parent training. This gives me a unique perspective that blends practical child development knowledge, trauma awareness, neurodivergent understanding, and real-world strategies without the pressure of “perfect parenting.”
My approach is compassionate, practical, and focused on helping you better understand your child’s needs, behavior, emotional world, and nervous system — while also supporting your own. Together, we work on communication, regulation, boundaries, and realistic tools that help create more connection, clarity, and confidence in how you parent.

Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
I support parents in understanding that children’s behavior is often an expression of unmet needs rather than something to control or correct. Instead of relying on discipline alone, we work on strengthening connection, responding to emotions with presence and understanding, and maintaining parental leadership through relationship rather than force. An important part of this work also involves parents becoming more aware of their own patterns, so they can show up in a more grounded and connected way with their children.

Pre-Licensed Professional, Registered Psychotherapist (Q), DPsychotherapy, LPCC, CAS
Being a parent is rough stuff. The exhaustion, the financial pressure, the social pressure, the family pressure, and all the hopes and fears that come with raising a child can be beyond overwhelming. Together we can explore what your experience of being parented was like, what inspiration you want to draw on as a parent, and what you want to do differently or similarly to how you were raised. This is all about building you and your skills up so that you can show up as the parent you want to be.

North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Relationships with family members can be particularly complex. With family, we often fall into old roles that may no longer serve us. You may be grieving the loss of a relationship you wished you had with a family member, or struggling with conflict and hurt feelings that keep getting re-triggered in each encounter. You may be facing challenges with parenting or trying to figure out the best ways to support your children. Relationship counselling can help you sort through the complexities of family dynamics, understand old roles and how you get pulled into them while working towards setting healthy boundaries in order to create more harmonious family dynamics.

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.
