Services
OfferingsOur team offers psychotherapy services in Toronto for individuals and couples, including trauma therapy, relationship therapy and sex therapy, with both in-person and virtual appointments available
Individual Therapy:
In our sessions, we will support your innate wisdom and get you to become curious about yourself. We will explore parts of your journey/psyche that have felt shamed, scared, abused, confused, and silenced and we will offer these parts lots of love and understanding, so you can feel clarity, relief, and congruence.
We work in a gentle, honest, intuitive and creative way, and our clinicians are comfortable with range of emotions and experiences including grief, anger, childhood abuse and psychosocial trauma (including war), post-immigration experiences, relationship difficulties, self-actualization, and self-esteem issues. Our practice is trans, queer, fat and sex worker affirming, and we welcome those who want to explore their sexuality, gender identity, and alternative relationship styles.
Relationship Therapy:
We support folks who want to learn how to understand each other better, deepen emotional intimacy and increase sense of safety, use conflict to strengthen the relationship, recognize the differences in the ways they connect, and talk openly about sexual challenges they may experience. Our goal is to help people see each other better, increase the capacity to be empathic, set boundaries and build stronger relationships overall.
Trauma Therapy:
Our therapists work with folks who experienced trauma in their lives. We pay attention to your story, but also to the subtle ways in which you convey it. In other words, we listen to what you are sharing, but we also notice how your body and nervous system work, in order to help you contain and release feelings that have been stuck in your body as a result of trauma you experienced. We provide you with tools that will help you cope when you feel reactive, overwhelmed or shut down, as well as with the frameworks to help you better understand the impact of trauma on our bodies, brains and souls. We specialize in body-based, bottom-up approaches to trauma healing.
Sex Therapy:
Our sexuality is a powerful force within our psyches, connected not only to the sex and intimacy, but also to our sense of self, creativity, and self-expression. We provide a safe space for folks who need support in exploring their sexual preferences, sexual orientation, gender identity, kinks, folks who would want to enjoy sex more and may experience body image issues, shame or anxiety, low sexual desire and/or desire discrepancy in their relationships. Our practice is trans, fat, queer and sex-worker affirming.
Safe and Sound | Rest and Restore Protocol:
Rest and Restore and the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) are listening-based approaches that use sound and music to support nervous system regulation, emotional well-being, and a greater sense of safety and connection. These services can be offered on their own, as a complement to your existing individual therapy, or integrated into your ongoing psychotherapy. Whether you’re already working with a therapist or looking for an additional way to support your healing, we can explore what feels right for you. The Safe and Sound Protocol is a listening therapy that uses specially filtered music to engage the auditory system and support the nervous system’s capacity for regulation, social engagement, and connection. Listening is introduced gradually and at an individualized pace, with attention to your responses and experiences throughout the process. Rest and Restore offers a supportive space to slow down, listen, and reconnect with yourself. Both approaches can complement traditional talk therapy, offering another way to engage with your experiences beyond words alone.
Affordable Therapy:
We offer affordable therapy with master’s-level student therapists from the University of Toronto who are completing their clinical practicum. Working under the supervision of experienced clinicians, our student therapists provide thoughtful, compassionate, and collaborative care. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationships, life transitions, or other challenges, therapy offers space to explore your experiences and work toward meaningful change.
Fees start at $40 per 50-minute session. Learn more here!
Organizational Work:
We love to talk about trauma, peer-based strategies for crisis intervention and suicide prevention, domestic violence, and much more.
