ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Welcome to the start of your journey toward your most authentic self! I am here to guide you as you navigate your culture, relationships, and feelings of stuckness in your life. I am here to help you discover coping skills to manage overwhelming, anxious, and overpowering emotions. You become my client, and I become a part of your support system. Together, we will create a personalized plan to support your mental health and your life goals. At the end of our journey together, you will leave with a better awareness of your emotions, an arsenal of tools for challenging times, and greater resiliency.

I specialize in two areas. Men’s sexual health and relationship concerns, where we co-examine the psychological, biological, social, and behavioural factors behind sexual issues or relationship insecurities that are creating barriers and holding men back from connecting.
I also help men explore work and life transitions: stressors that make people resistant to change. For some, it can be examining their “blind spots” that prevent them from recognizing the right time to make a transition.
I use a strengths-based approach to move you from where you are to where you want to be. I provide a caring and nurturing space for clients to express feelings, emotions, behaviours, and relationships.

Hello, thank you for visiting my profile. Dismantling stigma around mental health and promoting a culture of help seeking is very important to me. I work with relationship issues, work-related stress, loss, trauma, addiction, and anxiety. I have helped men, women and individuals of different ages, professions, diverse backgrounds and cultural groups with a wide range of difficulties and themes.
Our work together will help you feel more empowered, hopeful and in control when tackling life’s challenges and embracing change.
I recognize that seeking support or taking the step to speak to someone can be an intimidating process. I want to assure you that I will meet you where you are at; in a safe, kind, genuine, and non-judgmental space.

I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), and the founder of Men Therapy Toronto, the first counseling center in Canada focused exclusively on the health and well-being of men. I am also a trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist which is an evidence-based modality used in treating trauma. At Men Therapy Toronto we see men who come in for a wide range of concerns. We specialize in men working through concerns with porn and sex addiction, childhood sexual abuse, anger management, career concerns and childhood trauma.

Rim Yassine

I work with adults—particularly men and queer/trans clients—who feel exhausted by coping alone, disconnected from themselves or others, or under pressure to “hold it together.”
My therapeutic approach is trauma‑informed, relational, and integrative. I draw from somatic therapy, attachment‑based work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and existential and narrative approaches.
Sessions are paced collaboratively, with close attention to nervous system regulation, safety, and consent. Rather than pushing for insight or change before readiness, the work unfolds in a grounded and steady way that supports lasting integration and deeper self‑trust.
I offer remote therapy across British Columbia and Ontario.

Over the years as a psychologist, I have learned that you can be good at working in many areas, but you can only be great at some, so I decided to gather a team of therapists whom I trust and that have unique skill sets and varying personality styles to compliment my own and provide other alternatives for you. My team supports all ages and concerns. Many of us enjoy working with men on ‘what it’s like being a man in this day and age’ stuff, as it’s a different landscape to navigate these days! Please check out my website to see all of us and how we can best assist you.

I see psychotherapy as an active collaboration between client and therapist. While I may be the expert in psychological functioning and therapeutic schools of thought, you are the expert of yourself. Through curiosity, openness, warmth and a determination to work on aspects of your life that are distressing you, we will take steady steps in the directions that you choose for yourself and that are healthiest for you.
I offer integrative psychotherapy, the specifics of which depend on the needs that arise from the initial assessment we will be starting with. My training has been mostly in cognitive-behavioral, (schema-therapy) and existential-humanist therapies.

Mia Omara

I help people with ADHD who want to learn techniques to live a more structured life. I help people wanting relief from anxious thoughts that are holding them back from the people, places, and things that they love.
I aide individuals seeking to improve their relationships, whether they be romantic, familial, or friendships. I help people who need to improve their communication skills, and who want to feel more confident in every aspect of their lives.
I also help people recovering from Trauma and PTSD, specifically First Responders.
I primarily practice from a Biopsychosocial perspective. Modalities I will use include CBT, Mindfulness, Inner Child Work, EMDR, and Person-Centered Approach. I take a collaborative approach.
