David Rockman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW RSW BA psych hon
In uncertain times, it is common to feel overwhelmed by difficulties and feel stuck in a cycle of challenges in the 6 general arenas of human experience: habituated repertoire of thoughts, emotions, soma, behaviours, situations, and environment. Many of the problems we experience are not our fault, but they can still have a significant impact on our mental health and well-being. As a psychotherapist with 27 years of experience in Toronto, I have helped countless individuals effectively and quickly resolve a variety of issues, including self-other relationship stressors, trauma from sexual abuse, emotional regulation, feelings of betrayal and abandonment, social anxiety, self-blame, self-esteem issues, motivation problems, and mis-transits of anger, shame and grief.

Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Many of the adults I work with feel stuck in patterns shaped by complex trauma and early relationships. You may notice this showing up as persistent anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or relationship cycles that feel difficult to break—even when you intellectually understand them.
Together, we gently explore the roots of these patterns and how they developed. As these survival strategies begin to make sense, you can move toward a greater sense of clarity, internal stability, and a more compassionate way of relating to yourself and others.

Jose Luis Lopez Vargas
Registered Psychotherapist, RP.
I believe healing begins with feeling truly met. In my work as a psychotherapist, I offer a grounded, respectful, and deeply human space where people can slow down, breathe, and reconnect with themselves. I value presence, authenticity, and real relationships, and I work at a pace that honours each person’s unique experience.
I am drawn to supporting people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or in the midst of change. Many come with anxiety, relationship struggles, emotional pain, or a quiet sense that something in life no longer fits. Together, we gently explore what is happening in the present moment — in thoughts, emotions, and the body — so that clarity, choice, and new possibilities can naturally emerge.

True Health Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Tracey Nguyen, Holistic Advanced Nurse Psychotherapist RN, MN
You are here because relationships and life for you have been an emotional and spiritual battle through your drained soul and body. Long-term narcissistic abuse, BPD, codependency and complex trauma have been a journey of living in survival mode. You are tired of suffering and not living better. You want better than this, and yes, you can have it. Many clients have told me they have been missing something from therapy after countless therapists - deep, soulful relationship healing and actionable steps that get into your heart of soul wounds, not just talk therapy and endlessly validating feelings. While we do this, we do so much more. Being in therapy with me is like experiencing the deep end of you with a professional best friend, shaman and prophetic healer in tune with your soul, body and spirit.
I will help you heal your complex trauma, navigate difficult relationships and guide you toward the reclamation of your soul, voice and power.
Evidence-based, integrative, holistic, complex trauma-informed DBT, mindfulness, Gestalt method and faith-based, I don't leave any part of you out of the equation - mind-body-soul-spirit healing. Where science, natural intelligence and God intersect. All parts of you deserve therapy at this deep level. If you're still reading and feel it, book a consultation with me. I look forward to connecting with you

Kati Dobrei

Life can pull us away from ourselves in subtle ways... Through stress, pressure, relationships, expectations, or simply trying to keep up.
Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I’m glad you’ve found your way here. My hope is to offer a space where you can feel safe to show up as you are, without pressure, judgment, or needing to have everything figured out. I offer a free 30-minute consultation, no commitment, where we can discuss what you're looking for and see if we may be a good fit.

Jennifer Ritchie Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, CYW
*Accepting new clients for immediate booking* Life can be hard. Sometimes we find ourselves asking how we got here and sometimes it's hard to know where to start. We just know something doesn't feel right and these feelings can consume and overwhelm us. Perhaps you're experiencing some setbacks or challenges that you're finding difficult to cope with like anxiety, depression, loss, relationship issues, family conflict, or maybe you're just feeling really stuck. It's difficult to put into words how we feel when we don't understand what's really going on in our heads. If it feels like things are falling apart and you're feeling lost or overwhelmed or unable to cope alone, allow me to support you in finding your way back to feeling like you again.

Lauren Kalvari
Registered Social Worker, PhD, MSW, RSW
Very little about human experience surprises me anymore — yet people continue to move and inspire me.
I am deeply open-minded, curious, and grounded in a strong sense of relational and community responsibility. My work is shaped by decades of clinical practice and by a lived understanding of complexity, resilience, and care under pressure. I bring steadiness, intuition, and a thoughtful sense of humour into the therapeutic space, creating an environment where people can feel safe enough to speak honestly and begin to heal.
I am also attentive to the spiritual, cultural, and meaning-making dimensions of people's lives, including experiences of spiritual or religious harm, loss of community, and the search to rebuild identity after trauma. Therapy is not about fixing what is broken, but about creating space for integration, dignity, safety, and renewed choice.
Professionally, I have worked within provincial mental health and welfare systems and continue to support charitable and community-based initiatives focused on intimate partner violence. I have also been involved in a federally funded research project examining coercive control and the challenges faced by culturally insular communities, work that informs my clinical and supervisory practice.
My therapeutic approach is integrative, relational and responsive to each person's inner world and culture. I draw primarily from psychodynamic and relational traditions, alongside somatic and trauma-informed approaches, adapting therapy to the pace, needs and lived experience of the individual. This includes support for individuals affected by intimate partner violence, spiritual abuse, and trauma within religious or culturally insular communities.

Michelle Hannah
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
I’ve always been drawn to the emotional undercurrent—the part of life that hums beneath the surface while everyone else is busy pretending it’s not there. For years, I didn’t have the language for my sensitivity or the intensity of my inner world; I just knew I felt things deeply and carried them quietly. Eventually I learned that depth isn’t a flaw—it’s a compass.
My work now is about helping people tune into that inner terrain with more clarity, compassion, and curiosity. I don’t believe in pushing past your limits or forcing insights before you’re ready. I believe in slow noticing, honest reflection, and creating a space where nothing has to be performed.
If you’re someone who thinks a lot, feels a lot, masks a lot, or has spent years minimizing what actually hurts—I offer a place where your experience can finally land. Not polished. Not rushed. Just real.
(And yes, we can laugh when things get too intense. A little wry humour goes a long way.)

Azin Heydari
Registered Psychotherapist, RP; MA
I work alongside you on this self-exploratory journey, not only showing curiosity about the thoughts that shape your emotional world but also the nervous system patterns held in your body. Real change occurs when the mind and body begin communicating differently, and I will collaborate with you to explore this process with care, curiosity, and evidence-based tools. My approach is warm, relational, and grounded in trauma-informed methods that create space for deep emotional work at a pace that feels safe. If you’re ready to understand your patterns, reconnect with yourself, and find lasting relief—not quick fixes—I am here to support your healing through this process.

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.
