Our Story

ACTion Psychotherapy was inspired by our collective desire to emphasize what really matters when it comes to getting the help you deserve; that is, the human connection.

We acknowledge and accept wholeheartedly that there is no one-size-fits-all approach with matters of the heart and mind.

Rather, our practice encourages an integrative and holistic approach to well-being that uses evidence-based practices, and therapy is tailored to suit the individuals seeking it.

Our clinicians are encouraged to practice from therapeutic approaches that they feel strongest in, where no modality is superior to another.

Our therapists at ACTion Psychotherapy share the perspective that what matters most is how we can best serve the people who take the brave step into the unknown of a therapeutic relationship.

We value diversity, inclusion, respect, acceptance, compassion, and personal development within our therapists. It is because we know every one of our clinicians on a human level that we can confidently say you will be cared for and attentively listened to at the very least.

Our psychotherapists are equipped with rigorous education and training, and have undergone supervision and testing to meet the requirements for registration with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).

You will be met as a human by another human, who happens to have a finely tuned skill set in listening, responding, and collaborative intervention with certain practices that could benefit you and your circumstances.

Our Values

Connection

Meta-analytic research shows that the most significant predictor of favourable therapy outcomes is the quality of the therapeutic relationship. Our therapists are humans first and strive to meet you where you’re at on your journey before looking ahead to the future. It’s important to us that you feel connected to your therapist in some way to create an environment of openness and help facilitate the change you hope to see.

Compassion

Compassion means responding to pain with non-judgment and kindness, and that’s exactly what you can expect from the therapists at ACTion Psychotherapy. You cannot have safety and security without kindness and compassion. Sometimes compassion is just being present and holding space, while other times compassion is helping you do hard things because they’re important to you.

Autonomy and Collaboration

We recognize your autonomy in how you live your life and believe that everyone has inner wisdom. Therapy is not expert advice giving. We commit to using our therapeutic skillset to grow your relationship with your inner wisdom, cultivate a greater sense of agency and autonomy within yourself, and learn new skills and perspectives along the way.

Integrity and Respect

The wellbeing of the people we have the honour of working with is at the forefront of every therapy session. Our therapists participate in continuing education and training to ensure that they are practicing within their scope and providing you with ethical and quality care.

Matching based on your therapist preferences, mental health concerns, and our scope of practice.
