Gestalt therapy · In-person in Toronto and Online across Ontario
How are you feeling in this moment?
Gestalt therapy helps you become more aware of your emotions, patterns, relationships, and body in the present moment.
Rather than only asking why something happened, we also explore how it is showing up in your life now.
Awareness creates choice.
Gestalt therapy is a relational and experiential approach to psychotherapy. It pays attention to what is happening between you and your therapist, as well as what you notice in your thoughts, emotions, body, and relationships. You may begin to notice::
- patterns that repeat in relationships
- emotions you tend to avoid
- difficulty knowing what you want
- ways you disconnect from yourself
- how your body responds in certain situations
The goal is not to judge these patterns. It is to understand them more clearly so you have more choice (and creativity)

Starting therapy
Choose a therapist and appointment time that works for you. You can meet in person in Toronto or virtually across Ontario.
Your first session is a chance to talk about what brings you to therapy, what you hope will feel different, and what support might be most helpful.
Begin at your own pace
Together, we’ll build a therapy process that feels collaborative, thoughtful, and responsive to your needs..

I do my thing and you do your thing. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, And you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it’s beautiful. If not, it can’t be helped.
—Fritz Perls
