We are a diverse group of rigorously trained, licensed, and experienced professionals.

Our therapists’ evidence-based approaches are designed to get to the root of current or longstanding issues and help you shift into a place of greater ease, self-compassion, and contentment.

We do not offer quick fixes or bandaid solutions—just solid, life-changing approaches that promote lasting change.

Therapy is offered in multiple formats, including in-person therapy as well as ongoing online therapy and phone therapy where distance, scheduling, childcare, or accessibility may be a concern.

Our qualified and respectful practitioners will guide you in working with inner conflict, habitual behaviours, thoughts, feelings, actions, reactions, and beliefs in a manner that supports acceptance of self and others, and promotes lasting change.

Minding your mental health advances personal growth and increases wellbeing. Contact a TPG therapist today.

Our Training

Every TPG psychotherapist has completed a rigorous, multi-year psychodynamic training and is a registered mental health practitioner in good standing with their regulatory body.

Ongoing professional development supports an ethical, effective practice. Most of our practitioners hold additional certifications in complementary approaches.

We feature therapists trained in couples therapy, body-centered/somatic therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, and psychedelic integration therapy, among other modalities. You can read about our different methods on the Approaches page, or search for a specific specialty on the Find a Therapist page.

Our Mission

At TPG, we aim to connect therapy seekers with our network of skilled, and empathic therapists.

Our lived experiences as therapists and clients inform our commitment to personalized mental healthcare in Ontario and beyond.

At TPG, we envision a world in which psychodynamic psychotherapy is accessible to all. We aim to broaden dialogue about mental health. There is urgent need to destigmatize the experience of seeking help in order to alleviate suffering and foster growth, resilience, and joy.

We affirm that:

  1. Psychotherapy saves lives and relationships, that trauma is treatable, and that personal growth is integral to our wellbeing.
  2. Our work has social impact, for every personal act of transformation reverberates, touching the lives of many.
  3. The evolution of mental healthcare re-establishes psychotherapy as a front-line treatment above quick-fix approaches that only prolong suffering and do not honour the centrality of human relationship in mental health.
  4. It is the moral obligation and duty of every mental health practitioner to undergo a personal therapy of significant duration and depth, and to engage in ongoing practices of self-exploration. We aim to empower our colleagues in practicing their craft and to help them grow in their profession; for it is our belief that when therapists prosper, their clients will, too. TPG supports its therapists by offering resources meant to foster professional excellence, integrity, and the highest ethical standards articulated by the Code of Ethics for Registered Psychotherapists in Ontario.

What is Therapy?

“Treating, by means of psychotherapy technique, delivered through a therapeutic relationship, an individual’s serious disorder of thought, cognition, mood, emotional regulation, perception or memory that may seriously impair the individual’s judgement, insight, behaviour, communication or social functioning.”
