A message from Chiara
Hi! Im Chiara & I’m so glad you’re here. I believe therapy is a space where you should feel heard, understood, and accepted exactly as you are. Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to create a warm, compassionate, and judgment-free environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself and exploring what brought you to therapy.
I offer virtual therapy across Ontario to individuals ages 10 and up, with evening and weekend availability.
My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and centred around your unique experiences, needs, and goals. I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based approaches. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process, and we can work together to find approaches that feel meaningful and supportive for you.
I am passionate about supporting individuals navigating trauma and complex trauma, intimate partner violence and coercive control, anxiety, OCD, BPD, depression, life transitions, and family challenges. I strive to create a space where you can develop a deeper understanding of yourself, work through difficult experiences, build meaningful coping tools, and feel empowered in your healing.
Whether you’re navigating a difficult transition, processing past experiences, struggling in your relationships, or simply feeling like something needs to change, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to walk alongside you, at your pace, as you work toward greater self-understanding, healing, and growth.
Feel free to reach out and book your free consultation with me today. I look forward to meeting you!
