The Dot Canada

Registered Psychotherapist

“It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.”

About Me

Someone who uses tried and trusted therapeutic approaches and can use them with real compassion. Our team of 20+ registered therapists brings a range of specializations: trauma, anxiety, relationships, maternal mental health, and much more. And what they all share is evidence-based training and genuine compassion. We’ve helped thousands of Canadians find treatment for hundreds of different concerns. All online. Meeting you where you are. You choose your therapist. You set the pace. We’ll help you get there.
