If you are interested in booking a 15-minute free consultation, I would love to hear from you.

It is okay to be where you are and feel what you are feeling. In these times, you may find comfort in having someone who will work with you to shift these perspectives. Using a practical and compassionate approach, I help you deal with the complexities of life. I approach my work from a Trauma-Informed, Anti-Racist, and Anti-Oppressive lens, and work from a place of understanding and compassion helping you to live your best life.

A trained psychotherapist with more than 12 years of experience in the mental health field, I started my journey as a social worker and social justice warrior. Though I work most often with adults, I am also skilled at working with children and youth. In my practice, I have seen them strain to manage their emotions and behaviors.

If your child or adolescent struggles with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, trauma, grief, or other life stressors, I would be honored to help them regain their zest for life.

I look forward to helping you manage your mental health and real life!

Hi! I’m Danielle.

Sometimes life goes very wrong. Bad things happen, even traumatic things. I don’t need to tell you that. You know what it is like to endure trauma.

What you experienced years ago may disturb you even now.

You’re moving into adulthood but may still feel trapped by what happened to you in the past. You want to feel more comfortable in your relationships. Yet, you sometimes struggle to maintain something meaningful. Perhaps your traumatic experiences keep you from expressing yourself as you’d like.

I understand how difficult it can be to navigate a world that doesn’t quite have the patience or understanding of how devastating and isolating experiencing trauma can be. I was fortunate enough to access therapy at a young age when I needed it most, though.

Now I work with young adults so they can become more grounded within themselves and their relationships. I know that you can learn to manage difficult life stressors with resiliency and actually have joy.

You don’t have to wonder anymore if you can have more confidence, less anxiety, and more purpose.

It’s possible.

It’s also possible to meaningfully integrate past experiences into the present. You can learn to make connections between past experiences and what’s challenging you in your life now.

Have you Googled, “Best teen therapist near me?” lately? Perhaps you find your teen’s behaviour scary, and you’re not so sure what to do. You know that being a teenager is tough. Relationship struggles, identity development, avoiding bullying, and academic demands are just a few of the weights dragging your teen down.

Maybe your child has said something like

“You just don’t understand me?”,

”I feel left out and not as good as the other kids.”

You may feel that you can’t relate to them anymore. You know deep within you that your child needs someone to help them navigate life with their friends, at school, and in your family. You want to have more peace in your home and fewer fights.

Or perhaps you are an adult searching for a greater sense of mental wellness. You know that life can feel better. Yes, you’ve gone through some mental, emotional, and perhaps physical challenges over the past few years. But you are ready to make a change. It would just be helpful to have someone on the journey with you…someone who can lead you toward helping yourself.

Hello! I’m Liz Evans. Often people see therapists as experts. Yes, our education and experience give us a different kind of insight. Yet, life's challenges serve to expand our minds and hearts.

I’ve known what it means to grieve your child’s death. I understand the nuances of relationship breakdown after experiencing a divorce.

I believe that you are the expert on what you need for mental wellness.

This knowledge is one of your greatest strengths.

She has worked extensively with youth who have had conflict with the law, along with the challenges that their families face navigating the system and the complexity that it comes with.

Beverly works with adolescents, young adults, and adults who have experienced challenging life circumstances. She works with individuals who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflict, grief, stress, abuse and domestic violence.

Beverly uses a variety of approaches, catering each therapy session to the individual focusing on what their strengths and needs are. She loves to equip her clients with skills and tools to help them manage the challenges that life brings them with approaches such as DBT, CBT and EMDR.

Beverly loves to use humor (of course when appropriate) and creativity, and enjoys laughing with her clients, as laughter can often be one of our best resources. She is dedicated to creating a safe space for clients where they feel like they can be themselves and discover more of who they are and who they want to be.

Hi! My name is Kylie, I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the CRPO.

As a psychotherapist the most important thing I can do is listen. I will provide a safe space for you to share your story. Together we will understand where you are now and, most importantly, where you want to be. My passion is to encourage you in your self growth journey and equip you with the resources to achieve your goals.

I personalize everything for each client—no two people or situations are the same. I pair deep care and empathy with evidence-based assessments and therapies, such as CBT and DBT, to create your unique therapy plan.

I specialize in supporting clients in the areas of grief or loss, pregnancy and postpartum, trauma, spirituality, and chronic pain and illness management.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Do you feel alone, not knowing what to do next? Are your loved ones noticing a difference in your behaviour, or mood? Whatever it is, lets talk about it.

Hello! My name is Cherysse, a compassionate and warm psychotherapist with a Master’s degree in social work. With a deep passion for working with teens and young adults, I am committed to supporting individuals through their unique journeys toward healing and personal growth.

I bring a wealth of experience, both personally and professionally. I acknowledge that we are all human, growing and learning. I am keen on addressing the diverse needs of my clients, offering a safe and inclusive space where every voice is heard and valued.

My trauma-informed approach recognizes the profound impact of systemic issues, and I integrate this understanding into my practice, particularly acknowledging the unique challenges faced by Black women and other marginalized communities.

Specializing in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, and Compassion Focused Therapy, I utilize evidence-based techniques to foster resilience and empower my clients. I am a great listener, attuned to the nuances of communication, and skilled at connecting with what is not being explicitly said. My approach is centered on being present and fully engaged in each session, ensuring that my clients feel supported and understood. My posture will always be non-judgemental and kind.

I understand the complexities of personal growth and am deeply compassionate about the challenges and triumphs that come with it. My goal is to provide a nurturing environment where individuals can explore their experiences, develop self-compassion, and cultivate meaningful change in their lives.

I seek to journey with clients who find themselves stuck. Looking at different factors that affect a person’s outlook on life, I work with clients to empower themselves to move forward one step at a time. From issues such as anxiety or depression, to more broad issues of meaning, I strive to help clients find their version of peace. There may be times when life does not feel overwhelming, but you just need someone to talk to and that’s OK. My goal is to walk with you in your life journey. I’m here to celebrate the victories as well as stand with you during the uncomfortable moments, and provide a safe space for truth and authenticity.

With over 10 years of experience, I continue to support and collaborate with clients from differing backgrounds and experiences. I employ a strength-based approach along with my knowledge in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Trauma-Informed modalities to assist clients who may be struggling with their own mental health. Life is not a simple journey, and it can feel very lonely when navigating through it on your own. One of the best, and most powerful, things you can do for yourself is seek help. That’s where your pathway to healing begins.

You might be feeling misunderstood and not heard. Yes, even if you come from a very loving family, this can be true. This feeling shows itself in your life in many ways, like loneliness, anxiety, low self-esteem, body image concerns, or depression.

Therapy is a great way to begin exploring where you feel unsure or uncovering the obstacles keeping you from living the life you desire.

Hello, I’m Alicia. And this is a part of my story. Growing up I felt misunderstood like I wasn’t being heard. I have personal experiences with mental health, issues with self-esteem, and challenging family dynamics.

I had no idea how to be aware of my thoughts and feelings, let alone communicate them to someone else. It was confusing, isolating, and aggravating. It definitely affected how I acted towards myself and those around me.

As an adult, I began to see how these past feelings affected my life. It made me think how great it would have been for the younger me to have someone to talk to.

As a therapist, my work with you is grounded in transparency, empathy, and respect. We’ll develop a collaborative relationship to ensure that we work toward your goals.

My South Asian background allows me to easily identify with various populations. I have insight and can validate experiences that may have not been fully understood.

My name is Janae! I recently graduated with distinction from the Toronto Metropolitan University’s Bachelor’s of Social Work program. I am currently an MSW Advanced Standing student at the University of Toronto.

My dream has been to work and support families with children living with complex illness, disabilities and cognitive impairment.

I am most interested in helping families navigate and manage internal and external resources that improve their lives.

I aspire to work at Grandview Children’s Centre working with these type of children and families.

I am excited to learn different approaches to working with children and youth in my practicum with Francis Psychotherapy.

I enjoy reading and meeting new people. I especially love singing which allows me to communicate more easily with myself and others especially children. My greatest gift is spending quality time with family and friends.
