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.

Nora Taylor, MA, RP
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology 1994
My own experience of life has informed my practice as has my appreciation of the spiritual aspects of life. Depth psychology has long been an interest of mine since first reading Carl Jung's work in 1990. My practice is deepened by an appreciation of Buddhism and more recently neuroscience which provide more expansive views on how to work with the difficulties faced by simply being human.

Fran Grove-White
Registered Psychotherapist, R.P. Dip Ish, CGPA, CHTA
For our first meeting there will be no charge - an opportunity to check out the chemistry. Is there a fit? I use an eclectic blend of modalities / tools and a respectful dose of intuition. Together we'll tailor make the approach that meets your needs. I see exploring relationship (any) as a fast track to higher self awareness and consciousness - a most fascinating journey. Welcome aboard! And courage is essential - but I can help you find it.

Azin Heydari
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Individuals who have experienced trauma or abuse often struggle to acknowledge or accept their own experiences. They may downplay or invalidate themselves because they were told they are "too much" or “too emotional,” or they may not have felt important enough to be supported. While therapy aims to empower survivors to move past these difficult events, it's important to create space for these experiences and to develop a strong sense of self-compassion and curiosity about how these experiences have shaped you and how you navigate relationships.
Negative experiences can create a constant state of fear in our brains and nervous systems, making it difficult to access the parts of our brain responsible for emotional regulation, flexibility, and connection.
In our work together, my main approach is to foster safety in relationships by encouraging a deep understanding and curiosity about oneself, rather than resorting to guilt, isolation, and self-blame. By becoming the observer rather than overwhelmed, you can start showing up in the world and in your relationships the way you've always wanted.

Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, MSc
I know how scary it can be to face our struggles and open up to a new person—I’ve been in therapy myself for many years. It’s not easy work! That's why I’m focused on building trust and staying curious about who you are and how you’re experiencing the process. My hope is that you leave sessions feeling cared for, understood, accepted, and connected with. Clients find that this experience builds self-understanding, a sense of worth, and a growing agency they carry into the rest of their lives.
I’m a Student Therapist in my final year at the Toronto Institute for Relational Psychotherapy. What is relational therapy? This approach understands our struggles as stemming from difficulties in relationships, past and present. Maybe you haven’t received the kinds of connections, supports, and understanding you’ve needed and it’s impacted how you relate to yourself and others. Perhaps bad experiences have made it hard to navigate daily life or build new dynamics. You might be navigating loss, abandonment, harm, guilt, or conflict and need support with this. We’re nearly all impacted by cultures of disconnection, over-work, domination, and hyper-individualism. Relational therapy can be a space to notice all of this and experience something new—a more connected and fulfilling inner and outer life.
I’m dedicated to practicing from a client-led and trauma-informed perspective that understands the deeply traumatic impacts of white supremacy, colonialism, cishetero-patriarchy, ableism, and other oppressions. I will hold curiosity for how systems, culture, and identity impact your life, relationships, and our work together.
But in all of this, we only go as deep and as wide as you want to—I make sure we’re following your pace and attending to what feels most urgent. I won't tell you what healing looks like for you, but I'll be excited to figure that out together.

Suzanna Derewicz
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
I believe therapy to be that unique safer space we bravely step into that provides us with a secure frame for receiving support, processing difficult experiences, creating change or improvement where desired, and buttressing our resilience moving through an often unpredictable and sometimes unrelenting world.

Having a non-judgemental, empathic and understanding therapist can help us heal and process difficult emotions and experiences. And I aim to be that type of therapist for all my clients. I am a spouse, parent, former journalist, and a Caucasian woman who is committed to anti-oppressive, feminist, and harm-reduction values.
