Trauma-Informed Psychotherapy in Toronto
We are a client-centred, non-pathologizing practice. Rather than treating your symptoms as defects to be corrected, we get curious with you about what they're protecting, what they're signalling, and how they're shaping your life right now. Healing happens in relationship. In therapy you build a relationship with yourself — but also with your therapist. That's why our work is collaborative and grounded in mutual respect, empathy and non-judgmental listening. We also hold space for every part of your identity, including the ways collective experiences — racism, sexism, homophobia, colonialism — leave a mark on individual mental health. Sessions are available in person at our College Street clinic and virtually across Ontario.
Why Choose Mahaya for Psychotherapy
Client-Centred
You set the pace and the direction. We offer a safe space to become curious about your symptoms and how they're affecting your life — not a template to be fitted into.
Non-Pathologizing
We don't reduce you to a diagnosis. Our approach encourages self-compassion and self-care while working with difficult symptoms
Trauma-Informed
Every therapist here practises within a trauma-informed framework, recognizing how both individual and collective trauma live in the body and mind
What to Expect
Every therapist offers a complimentary consultation before you commit. It's a chance to ask questions, describe what you're looking for, and get a feel for whether this is the right fit. Fit matters more than credentials — and we'd rather you find the right person than simply book the first available one. Sessions are typically 50 minutes. Receipts are issued for insurance reimbursement where your plan covers Registered Psychotherapists or Registered Social Workers.
Not Sure Where To Start?
Every therapist here offers a free 15-minute consult before you commit — a chance to ask questions and see whether it's a fit. Fit matters more than credentials, and we'd rather you find the right person than simply the first available one.
