Transforming Emotions

Do you worry about your child's emotional well-being or behaviour patterns? Are you struggling to figure out how to be a parent to a Gen Z or Gen Alpha kid? Being responsible for another human being and their well-being can evoke powerful feelings in parents, some of which stem from the present moment, and some of which are triggers from our own past hurts. At Transforming Emotions, our therapists are grounded in both emotion focused therapy and CBT allowing our team members to help you better manage your own thoughts, feelings, and behaviours as you help support your little one in doing the same. We know that parents are the most important resource in a child's life. Call to book a free consultation today to help us match you to the therapist who can best support you in your parenting journey.

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.

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.

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.
