Self Esteem Therapists in Toronto, ON

Starting your mental health journey requires courage and can feel overwhelming. My therapeutic approach is grounded in compassion, warmth, and non-judgment. I'm here for you, providing support every step of the way. I am dedicated to empowering you with strategies and skills essential for a more fulfilling life. Together, we will explore mind-body techniques to help you rediscover purpose, conquer fears, and foster authentic connections with yourself and others.

Therapy takes courage. My approach is supportive, collaborative, and genuine. I balance my knowledge of theory and technique with a non-judgemental, compassionate and affirming environment to support goals and work towards where you want to be in life. I work with adults of various ages, ethnicities, races, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities. I have extensive experience working with and supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals. I am also proficient in both English and Arabic. Having lived in the Middle East a significant part of my life, I am familiar with the cultural issues.

I believe in an empathic, collaborative approach, so that you may always be part of the therapeutic process. Psychotherapy allows for a unique relationship, whereby the focus of attention is on understanding you. It provides an opportunity for openness, trust and honesty, often difficult in other interpersonal situations. It can help you to increase your resilience to life challenges and improve relationships. I use a range of therapy modalities according to the best fit for your needs and personality. Greater meaning in life can be achieved by longer term therapy, but also brief periods of therapy which are cumulative.

I offer relational psychotherapy, a gentle, client-centred approach that provides space to explore issues creating difficulties for you, work to understand their roots, and support you in making the changes you wish to make. Whether you're struggling with difficult feelings or relationships, a crisis in your life, ongoing stress, or issues from the past, this is a space where you can sift through your feelings and thoughts with connection and support. My style as a therapist is warm, open and accepting. I practice within a trauma-sensitive, anti-oppression, LGBTQ*-affirming framework.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, struggling to navigate life's challenges? Too often we believe that our downfalls define us, rather than guide us and illuminate a path of learning and becoming. We feel alone as we mask our imperfections to morph into a world we believe rewards otherwise. Yet, in our loneliness lives an unspoken unity because we each carry the weight of our mask. I understand the complexity of emotions that arise in difficult times. If you're seeking to understand and manage your emotions, you've got to the right place. I'm here to help.

Welcome! I’m Michael Sa'd, a dedicated and compassionate Registered Social Worker specializing in individual and couple’s therapy. With over a decade of experience, I am empathetic, understanding, and supportive to help you navigate life's challenges and achieve meaningful personal growth. I utilize Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Counselling (SFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs, fostering a collaborative and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings.

I know it can be a little overwhelming searching for the right support. Chances are you've been doing your best to figure it out on your own and now you're ready- or at least curious- to see how therapy can help you make and feel the changes you're looking for. I work specifically with adult children of alcoholics, co-dependency and perfectionism as well as clients with a history of depression, poor self-esteem, and anxiety. We'll work together to help you gain the skills, understanding and self-acceptance needed to create positive change.

Accepting new clients in person (The Junction, Toronto) and virtual. Trauma & PTSD specialization with First Responders. When most clients come to me they don't know where to start and they haven't been able to overcome their problems alone or with their friend's advice. My clients need someone to listen, someone who knows about the fake face, someone who can help them understand "why"; and help them find a way to get healthy. I have a Masters in Counseling Psychology from OISE UofT the University of Toronto where I learned to use research-supported methods to help clients be empowered. Clients are always the experts on themselves.

Do you struggle with mood regulation, self-esteem, relationship issues or turn to unhelpful coping strategies that leave you feeling stuck in a vicious cycle?

I am happy you took this first step to improve your wellbeing and lifestyle.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor, and Co-Owner of Insight and Wellness Therapy Centre. My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in compassion, empathy, and collaboration. I believe that each individual is the expert of their own life, and my role is to provide support, guidance, and tools to help you tap into your innate resilience and wisdom. I believe that everyone is deserving of and has capacity for growth and fulfillment, but that sometimes our histories and patterns can leave us feeling stuck.

Are you feeling ready for a change or want space to explore what makes you, you? I work with individuals seeking support with self esteem, stress, depression, anxiety, creative blocks, relationship issues (including open, polyamorous relationships, friendships, familial relationships, and more), existential angst, trauma, and more. I believe everyone is unique and I support clients in finding, embracing and exploring that inner magic.

I am here to listen and respond with acceptance, compassion, and empathy, and to provide safety for you to explore what is troubling you as we work together to find a meaningful way through.

Are you struggling with anxious thoughts that consume your daily life and affect your sense of self? Maybe you are navigating relationship issues or a breakup that feels difficult to manage. Are you looking to strengthen your relationship with your body and transform negative beliefs you hold about yourself? Are you a couple struggling with clear communication that hinders your ability to truly connect with one another? If you are interested in building stronger connections, both with yourself or your partner - I can help.

Are you struggling with feeling sad, anxious, angry, ashamed, lonely, or confused? Are you struggling within yourself or in your relationship? Psychotherapy can really help. It helps enormously to have a safe person to be able to feel, express, digest and understand your experience with, including how it was shaped by your early relationships in life. Our early development powerfully shapes how we feel about ourselves and what we expect in our lives and in our relationships. More freedom, connection, and joy is possible. I work with adults, specializing in relationships, self-esteem, body image, parenting, and trauma recovery.

Are you struggling with self-criticism or perfectionism? Do you struggle with setting boundaries and prioritizing your own needs? Are you looking for a way to overcome your negative thoughts and improve your self-esteem? Welcome.

Together, we can work towards helping you embrace self-compassion, set healthy boundaries, and rediscover your worth.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and hold a Masters degree in Counselling Psychology. I am dedicated to helping others live happy and fulfilling lives. As an individual therapist I am non-judgemental, empathetic and open minded. My aim is to heal emotional injuries impacting your daily life, assist in understanding yourself better and help break unhealthy habits. When working with couples I employ different therapeutic modalities that focus on helping couples to better communicate and understand one another as well as reduce conflict and repair issues quickly.

We all have our own histories and desires for our futures. At times these personal narratives can feel like a resource and at other times a hindrance. Sometimes we feel like we’re stuck or are moving backwards when we want to go forwards. How do we stay present in our day-to-day lives when we are visited by the voices of the past or images of the future? How do we find and listen to the voice of strength, wisdom and resiliency that lives in each one of us, when that voice seems to be silent? I don’t offer pat answers, but instead offer space and guidance to help you to deeply explore the issues and questions that want to explore.
