Fit predicts outcome more reliably than method does. So instead of seven biographies to compare at 2am, filter by what you're carrying and see who is trained for it, what they're like, and when they're free.
Send two lines about what's going on. Tatiana reads every message herself and replies within one business day with two suggested therapists and why.
MSW RSW · Founder and Clinical Director · 10 years at Mount Sinai perinatal mental health
Mila founded the practice after a decade in hospital perinatal care. She is warm and direct in equal measure, and works especially well with people who are competent everywhere else in their life and are quietly falling apart in this one part of it.
Works most with
MSW RSW · EMDR, parts work, nervous system regulation
Kate works with trauma and the reproductive journey together, which is often exactly where they live. If you have been dismissed by the healthcare system, or your body still reacts to a hospital corridor, this is her area. Kate uses EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) in her work with birth trauma, pregnancy loss and medical trauma, and is working toward her EMDR certification.
Works most with
RP · Registered Psychotherapist, CRPO · MA Counselling Psychology
Annie brings both professional training and lived experience of infertility, loss and assisted reproduction. She is the person to talk to about donor conception, surrogacy, and the particular grief of a family that did not happen the way you planned.
Works most with
MSW RSW · 20 years with women, children and families · formerly Women and Infants' Health, Mount Sinai
Alana is warm, a little funny, and the kind of therapist who will actually tell you what she thinks. Good for people who find gentle nodding unhelpful and want someone to be straight with them.
Works most with
MSW RSW · 30 years with individuals, couples and families
Ruth has been doing this longer than almost anyone in Toronto. She works across the whole family system, which matters when the strain is showing up between you and your partner, your parents, or your older children.
Works most with
MSW RSW · eleven years of counselling, currently practising in hospital
Caroline has a particular focus on partners, the people who are told to be the strong one and rarely get asked how they are doing. She also works with younger adults facing anxiety, self esteem and relationship strain.
Works most with
MSW RSW, MBA · ten years of social work
Emilie works at the intersection of family building and everything else that does not pause for it: work stress, blended families, co-parenting, separation. Useful if your situation does not fit a single tidy category. Emilie is a great fit if you want a skills-focused approach. If you've done therapy before, have a sense of where some of your patterns come from, and now want practical tools, she'll help you build them.

Before you book
Fifteen minutes for individuals, twenty for couples, video or phone, your choice. You describe what's going on in whatever order it comes out. We ask a few questions, explain how we'd approach it, and tell you which therapist we think fits.
If we're not the right place for you, we say so and point you somewhere better. There is no pressure to book and no follow up sequence.
Tell us after the first session and we'll move you to another therapist on our team at any time. Just let us know. Fit is the single biggest predictor of whether therapy works, so getting it wrong once is normal.
Individual sessions are $175 to $200 for 50 minutes depending on the therapist, and couples are $210 to $225 for 50 minutes. We direct bill through Sun Life and TELUS eClaims, and provide receipts for all other insurers. Ask us when you book. Receipts are accepted by all major insurers for Registered Social Workers and Registered Psychotherapists. A small number of reduced fee spots are available, and asking for one requires no paperwork.
Most people have a consultation call within two or three days and a first session inside a week. Availability per therapist is shown on each profile above.
This is the most common thing people say on the first call. There is no threshold you need to reach. People come here while still functioning well at work, still showing up for everyone else, and quietly finding this one part of life unbearable. That counts.
Both. We offer couples sessions, and several therapists work with partners individually. Partners carry a version of this that rarely gets asked about, and it's a legitimate reason to book on its own.
Fit predicts the outcome more than credentials do. So you choose.
Pick whoever you kept coming back to, or let us choose. Either way the next step is fifteen free minutes.
