Michelle Mailhiot
Registered Psychotherapist
The approach I use is trauma-focused Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), attachment-based Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Compassion Focused Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for complex trauma. EMDR is an effective form of trauma therapy that has been extensively researched to help people who have experienced trauma resume the brain’s natural healing process.
Cherisse N. Doobay
Therapist
In our first session, I will ask you to share your story about your current struggles. We will work collaboratively to identify the core issues and what your goals are for our work together. At the core of my work is the belief in the resiliency of the human spirit; and that change can happen when we connect with each other and with our human nature.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find a therapist in Mississauga?
Theralist's directory includes vetted therapists across Mississauga — from the Square One district and Port Credit to Meadowvale and Erin Mills. You can browse by neighbourhood, therapy type, or specific concerns like anxiety, depression, or workplace stress. All therapists on Theralist are licensed professionals registered with Ontario's regulatory colleges.
Can I find a therapist near Square One or downtown Mississauga?
Yes. Many Mississauga therapists are located near the Square One district, along Hurontario Street, and around the City Centre transit hub. With the Hazel McCallion LRT expanding access across the city, getting to in-person appointments is easier than ever. Theralist allows you to search by neighbourhood to find a therapist conveniently located near home or work.
I work in Mississauga's corporate sector — can therapy fit around my schedule?
Mississauga is home to over 90,000 businesses, including many Fortune 500 head offices in the Sheridan Park and Airport corporate corridors. Many therapists in the city offer early morning, evening, or weekend appointments to accommodate busy professionals. Virtual therapy is also widely available, making it easier to fit sessions into a demanding work schedule.
Can I find a therapist who understands my cultural background in Mississauga?
Mississauga is one of Canada's most multicultural cities, with over half of residents identifying as immigrants and large South Asian, Filipino, Polish, and Portuguese communities. Many therapists on Theralist offer culturally informed care and some provide services in languages such as Urdu, Punjabi, Tagalog, Polish, and Portuguese. Reading therapist bios can help you find someone whose background and approach align with your needs.
What types of therapy are available in Mississauga?
Mississauga therapists offer a broad range of evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based therapy, couples and family counselling, and trauma-informed care. With nearby institutions like UTM and Sheridan College influencing the local mental health community, many practitioners stay current with research-supported methods. Theralist's directory allows you to filter by therapy type to find the approach that fits your needs.
How much does therapy cost in Mississauga?
Therapy costs in Mississauga vary by provider, credentials, and session type. Some therapists offer sliding scale rates, and many are registered with employee assistance programs (EAPs), which are common among Mississauga's large professional workforce. We recommend contacting therapists directly to discuss fees and check whether your benefits plan covers their services.
Is virtual therapy available from Mississauga therapists?
Yes. Many Mississauga-based therapists offer secure virtual sessions, which is especially convenient if you commute to Toronto for work or live in the more outlying parts of the city. Research supports online therapy as equally effective as in-person care. You can filter Theralist's Mississauga directory to show only therapists offering virtual counselling.
What free or low-cost mental health support is available in Mississauga?
Peel Region residents have several public options. The Ontario Structured Psychotherapy (OSP) program offers free, publicly funded CBT for adults with depression and anxiety. Distress Centre Peel provides 24/7 crisis support at 905-278-7208, and 24.7 Crisis Support Peel Dufferin is available at 905-278-9036. ConnexOntario offers free, confidential 24/7 referrals.
