I’m Yolanda Testani, a CRPO Registered Psychotherapist with nearly 20 years of experience. I hold a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology, a graduate degree from The Toronto Art Therapy Institute, a Bachelor’s in Psychology from York University, and a Bachelor of Arts from Concordia University. Additionally, I’ve completed specialized training in Perinatal Mood Disorders through Postpartum Support International.
My journey began working with children, using Art Therapy as my main therapeutic tool. Over time, I transitioned to working with adults, couples, and families, employing an attachment framework and psychodynamic model. My approach is integrative and client-centered, blending evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy to help clients find emotional balance and well-being.
I’ve worked with people facing challenges like grief, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship discord, and difficulties related to parenting. Whether you're struggling with personal issues, navigating a tough transition, or facing partnership conflicts, I’m here to support you on your path toward healing.
In addition to individual and couples therapy, I offer adult family therapy to help families improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships across generations. I focus on empathy and use tailored techniques to address underlying patterns and foster healthier boundaries.
I’ve also spent several years supervising master’s-level students training to become therapists here in Ontario.
On a personal note, I’m a mom to twin tweens and a few fur babies—yes, all boys!

You have taken a huge step in coming here to seek help, even more so because there is so much in this world that does not make sense. But here you are, choosing healing and recognizing that you have the right to be well. Our goal is to help you make sense of the chaos and find a path towards a more complete version of yourself.
I’m Annie, a Registered Psychotherapist – Qualifying, and I bring a blend of personal and professional experience to my practice. My own fertility journey was long and challenging—spanning 10 years.

I’m here to help you find meaning and healing in your unique story. I know how overwhelming it can be, and together, we’ll create a space where you can process your experiences, gain insight, and move forward with hope and resilience.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, filled with challenges and moments of doubt. Facing these struggles takes incredible courage, and choosing to seek support shows a deep resilience within you. I believe in your capacity to grow, heal, and find peace, even when the path feels uncertain or difficult.
As a therapist, I am here to walk alongside you with care and compassion. Together, we can create a safe, nurturing space where you feel free to share your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of judgment. My approach is gentle and personalized, combining psychodynamic perspectives, emotion-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and mindfulness to support you in understanding your experiences, processing emotions, and developing strategies to cope with life’s demands.
With over nine years of professional training and practice, I specialize in supporting individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, binge eating, and compulsive behaviors. If you are navigating difficulties in relationships, cultural transitions, or your own personal growth, I am here to help. I will hold space for you, honor your unique journey, and work with you to build the clarity and strength you need to move forward.
Whatever you are going through, please know that you are not alone. It is my heartfelt privilege to support you during this meaningful and transformative chapter of your life

I work with individuals navigating life transitions, managing anxiety, and strengthening relationships. I’m energized by clients who are curious, engaged, and ready to explore their inner worlds. Whether you’re seeking clarity, overcoming challenges, or finding your spark, I create a safe, supportive space to guide your journey toward self-discovery and growth.
My passion for mental health was shaped by personal and volunteer experiences, including time spent on an inpatient mental health unit. These moments deepened my empathy and commitment to supporting others. Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time with family, playing soccer, cooking, and traveling. Like my clients, I embrace life’s ups and downs and strive to maintain a balanced, fulfilling life. In our sessions, you’ll find a warm, nonjudgmental environment tailored to your needs. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts and emotions, celebrate your progress, and develop practical coping strategies. I integrate techniques like active listening, mindfulness, and evidence-based approaches, ensuring each session aligns with your goals. I believe in fostering trust, encouraging open dialogue, and empowering you to lead the way at your own pace.
