Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Thornhill, ON
Krista Gatti
Registered Social Worker
I began my career by providing support to individuals who were facing life's challenges. I have experience working with a variety of areas such as anxiety, depression, grief, separation, and self-esteem. I am also trained in self-compassion, Mindfulness, grounding techniques and breathing exercises. I use a unique blend of evidence-based modalities to fit the individual needs of the person.
Myroslava Tyzkyj
Registered Psychotherapit
Therapy isn’t about fixing you — because you’re not broken. You’re human, and that’s messy enough. Adulting can feel like assembling IKEA furniture without the manual — confusing, frustrating, and somehow missing a crucial piece. Together, we’ll make space to breathe, reflect, and build a life that feels more grounded, more honest, and more like you. No perfection required.

Jessica A. Hughes
Registered Psychotherapist
We live in a world that moves faster than we can feel. If you feel disconnected or stuck in old patterns, therapy offers a space to slow down and understand what the body knows, what emotion remembers, and what your distress is trying to tell you. I work with people who want more than just symptom relief, those seeking depth, meaning, and the freedom to live authentically.

Michelle Philippe
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling Psychology
I'm so glad you are here. Sometimes we can feel weighed down by sadness, anxiety, shame, a harsh inner critic, or not feeling “good enough”. This can sometimes occur with difficulty with people pleasing, perfectionism, chronic worry, or unreasonably high self-standards. Are you a high performer, an artist, athlete, dancer (or former)? Has a life transition or loss left you feeling overwhelmed? ...

Elena Temelkova
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Life is beautiful, but it comes with pain. I believe our role here on earth is to become the highest version of ourselves and we all hold the means to do so. I always tell myself, "It's okay, this is your first time here. Take it slow. You are not supposed to be perfect, you are learning everything for the first time". Sometimes things happen that don't make any sense and we as humans can find ...
