What you're experiencing right now...

  •  The same pattern keeps happening over and over—in your relationships, in your behaviours, in your thoughts—and you don’t know why.
  •  You feel stuck—in your mood, your circumstances, your habits. You want to break out of it, but you don’t know how.
  •  You’re desperate to change how you respond to life’s difficulties.
  •  You’re tired of emotional distress; you know you need to improve your self-soothing abilities. But what’s the first step?

Maybe you've tried some self-care, read a few self-help books, made some resolutions…but all those efforts just aren’t cutting it. Maybe you’ve even tried therapy before, but challenging your thoughts didn’t do enough for you. Your relationships, how you feel in your body, your mood and emotions, the way you relate to yourself—you want it all to be better. You want a shift to happen. You want to break free.

 

You're in the right place...

Hi, I'm Rebecca

I'll help you explore your past, your present, and your psyche to get to the root of your healing needs.

In Depth Therapy, we look past the surface, going deep into your personal psychology and exploring the unconscious aspects of your mind. On this deep dive, you’ll learn to understand the unconscious, identify the underlying roots of your challenges, and examine the historical patterns that are influencing your life. Through insight, you will start to shift the patterns, behaviours, and symptoms that are holding you back.

I offer a conversational and personable approach to therapy. I've been a therapist for over a decade; together, we will go to a place of depth in every session. I am honoured your journey has brought you to Smart Therapy. It would be a privilege to support you as you take the next step in healing.

Specializing In Treating...

Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, & Self-Esteem
Trauma Therapy | Toronto

PTSD & Childhood Trauma

Childhood trauma and complex trauma can come from experiences of betrayal, neglect, or emotional unavailability in important relationships (such as caregivers or partners), leading to deep-seated feelings of insecurity and mistrust. Healing from trauma or PTSD requires a gentle approach, where you can learn self-acceptance and find a sense of safety while also building supportive connections with others.

Anxiety & Depression

Anxiety and depression often coexist, creating a challenging cycle where overwhelming worry and persistent sadness amplify each other, eroding your sense of well-being. Depth therapy can help you develop self-compassion and resilience, find relief from worry and sadness, and achieve a more balanced emotional state.

Self-Esteem & Identity

Self-esteem—your sense of worth and value in the world—is a crucial aspect of mental health. Healthy self-esteem leads to feelings of self-appreciation, self-acceptance, and self-compassion; by building up self-esteem, you can embrace your strengths and flourish in life. But self-esteem doesn’t come from just thinking more positive thoughts; it requires processing painful experiences and healing from past wounds, tasks that can be hard to accomplish alone.

Telehealth Counselling and Online Therapy

Virtual & Distance Therapy: Online Psychotherapy Over Video and Phone

Smart Therapy™ is based in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, and serves everywhere in Ontario.

Counselling services are currently offered only over video and phone.

Studies have shown there are benefits to distance and virtual therapy that in-person does not offer, including convenience, ease of access, and flexibility. Another benefit is the “Disinhibition Effect”: people often feel more comfortable talking over video or phone about things they otherwise might not have brought up in person.

Many clients also find distance therapy to be more comfortable since they can do it from their own home or a familiar space where they feel safe.

Ready to Get Started?

3 Easy Steps to Get Started

  1. Reach out: and set up either a free 20-minute consult. Or, if you'd like to dive into therapy right away, book your first session. A consult or first meeting will let you know if our connection is the right fit for your counselling needs.
  2. Treatment for your unique needs and preferences: Get treatment weekly or every other week, depending on your symptoms, goals, and schedule. For faster relief, try a Therapy Intensive.
  3. Experience wholeness, calm, and peace: As a result of our therapeutic time together, you’ll not only enhance your understanding of yourself; you will also experience integration, a feeling of wholeness, deep satisfaction, and a calm that you can feel in your body.
