Your First Session

Your first session can take anywhere between 50 - 80 minutes. During this session, you and your clinician will discuss your presenting concerns (i.e., why have you reached out for counselling services), your background (e.g., family, medical, social, etc.), gain a general understanding of what you seek from counselling, and identify how our services might support your process. You and your clinician will decide on how frequently you will meet (e.g., once or twice a week at 50 or 80 minutes), which can change as necessary.

Interested in scheduling your intake session? Click on a portrait below to find the clinician's biographies. Once there, click “Book a Session” to schedule an intake session with your preferred clinician. Select from the drop down the location you wish to book with your clinician, select 50 Minute Intake Session or 80 Minute Intake Session (for couples or those meeting with a student clinician) and follow the subsequent prompts to create an account. You will receive an automatic verification email once you schedule the intake session.

Service fees are covered by extended health programs if you are covered for psychotherapy, psychology, or social work (MSW / RSW). Please review your extended health policy to identify if you have coverage for a psychotherapist, psychologist, or social worker (RSW/MSW) and speak with your clinician about this during your first appointment.

Cancellation Policy

When you book a session, your clinician reserves their time for you. In the event that you will be unable to keep an appointment, please notify your clinician at least 24 hours in advance, so that someone else may utilize the time. Similarly, when your clinician is unable to keep the appointment with you, they will give you more than a 24-hour notice and rebook to another date and time.

In the case whereby you are unable to provide 24-hour cancellation notice (e.g., you cancel an appointment on the day of the appointment [i.e. the same day] or do not show up for a scheduled appointment), unless for emergency reasons (e.g., medical or family emergencies), you will be charged the fee for your session and payment will be required at your next scheduled session.

Note: Employee Assistance Programs and other insurance-based programs will not reimburse you, the client, for missed appointment costs.

Aamir Subhan (he/him)

Registered Social Worker

Master of Social Work

About Aamir

I completed a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Toronto in 2021, a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) from the University of Victoria in 2020 and an Honours Bachelor of Science (B.Sc., Hon.) in Neuroscience, Cell and Systems Biology from the University of Toronto in 2016. I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW), registration number 835844, with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW).

Growing up in Brampton, Ontario, I watched my parents, immigrants from India, work tirelessly to provide for my siblings and me. I have lived as a settler in Toronto for the past decade now, with some time in Australia as well. Throughout my life, I have negotiated what it means to be queer and Muslim, to feel and be seen as different, both to myself and the world. This lived resistance informs my commitment to serve 2SLGBTQ+ communities through an anti-oppressive, anti-racist, decolonial, and intersectional lens.

My practice is trauma-informed and draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Narrative Therapy. Through my community and hospital experiences, I have supported people from many walks of life. I work with addictions, anxiety, depression, gender/sexuality, life transitions, mood, newcomers and refugees, palliative care, people living with HIV, racial trauma, sex and intimacy, and substance use / misuse.

As you step into therapy, you enter a space where you say hello to vulnerability. It can be scary and hopeful at the same time. But these steps, and those that follow later, are reflective of your strength. Please know, I do not take your trust for granted; it needs to be continuously earned and fostered. I believe that we all have it within ourselves and our communities to heal and grow. In your own time, please reach out to explore if your next step is here.

Sean Middleton (he/him)

Registered Social Worker

About Sean

I completed a Master’s of Social Work at the University of Toronto (Factor-Inwentash Campus) in 2021 and a Bachelor of Social Work from Ryerson University in 2020. I am a Registered Social Worker (836822) with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) and a member of the Ontario Association of Social Workers.

In support of individuals dealing with anxiety, dependencies on gaming and substance use, depression, sex and sexuality issues, and trauma, it is my hope that we will foster a collaborative, secure, and warm relationship that will promote awareness and compassion in the exploration of your emotions, thoughts, and ultimately, your whole Self. Striving for an Anti-Oppressive practice informed by anti-colonialism, anti-racism, harm reduction, and intersectional feminism, I draw on interventions from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotions-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) while I continue to further develop my therapeutic modalities in my ongoing professional development.

Growing up in downtown Toronto, I have worked with LGBTQ2S+ people here and in the York region in both individual and group-based capacities. I have always had a sincere connection to the LGBTQ2S+ community and the Church-Wellesley Village. It has been a privilege to grow up in such a diverse city and I hope to work with a similarly diverse group of individuals in their journeys of health, healing, and ease of wellbeing.

Veronique Nathalie Tomaszewski (Nat) (she/her)

Pre-Licensed Clinician

About Veronique (Nat)

I am a pre-licensed clinician in my 5th year at the Gestalt Institute of Toronto (GIT) Clinic and am a member of the Canadian Association for Psychodynamic Therapy (CAPT). I completed the Gestalt Professional Certificate in 2018 and Gestalt informed professional programs (on-going since 2017): Gii-shkaa-zi Truth and Reconciliation (2018); Ill-ease and illness with Michael Clemmens (2021); Anorexia and Eating Disorders (Kallner, Budapest, 2019); Fathers, Sons, Maleness (McPhail, 2018).

A bilingual speaker (i.e., French and English), I have a Masters in Sociology from Université de Montréal where I studied the impact of corporate art on the well-being of employees. I also completed my Doctorate of Philosophy from York University with an expertise on sensory experience, rooted in Western and Japanese traditions.

My clinical training is based in Mindfulness and Buddhist Psychology, Non-Violent Communication (NVC), and restorative circles (Way of Shambhala, 2007 to 2017). Having completed two levels in Gestalt shamanism with Jay Troprianskaia (2020-2021), I also trained in accompanying the dying - Gitche M'Qua Centre for Healing and Dying - Joan Halifax workshop (2004); Bardo Shitro with Very Ven. Thrangu Rinpoche (2004 - 2007); and presented an end-of-life workshop at the Hazelton retiring home. As a psycho-sociologist, I have supported 18 to 24-year-old patients struggling with the deteriorating mental health at post-secondary institutions.

In our clinical work, I strive to incorporate somatic work (i.e., body – mind – heart – spirit – earth), psycho-drama modalities, mindfulness, and creative arts in support of you rediscovering yourself. Much of my clinical work has been focused toward adults presenting with abusive relationship dynamics, distressed moods (i.e., anxiety, body image, depression, disordered eating, and trauma), issues regarding self-worth and shame, life transitions (i.e., death and dying, divorce, emerging adulthood, identity crisis, old age, relocation, and retirement), loss (i.e., disability, grief and bereavement, health issues, and unemployment), and spiritual crisis.

Willa McCaffrey‑Noviss (she/her)

Master's Level Student Clinician

About Willa

I am currently completing my Master’s in Counselling Psychology at the University of Toronto. I also recently completed training in the Intensive Sex Therapy program at the University of Guelph. As a member of the LGBTQQ2+ community myself, I have a strong interest in working with individuals, couples, and polyamorous constellations to create relational satisfaction.

At the heart of my therapeutic philosophy is a fundamental belief in the powerful impact of therapy to help people heal and grow. I see potential in every human being and believe that having ones’ stories and challenges met with deep listening and warmth allows us to better access this potential.

My undergraduate is from Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick, where I completed a Bachelor of Science with an Honours specialization in hospice palliative care. I have worked, researched, and published in the field of palliative care.

Having worked in mental health environments from Canada’s East Coast to West Coast as well as internationally, I have gained invaluable opportunities for learning more about the varying ways in which people are affected by socioeconomic circumstances and experiences with aging, dying, and terminal illnesses, addiction, sexual assault, and trauma recovery.
