Smart Therapy: Insight-Driven Depth Therapy

Leading individuals towards mental and emotional health

With over a decade of experience as an anxiety and trauma therapist, Rebecca is ready to walk alongside you on the path to wholeness. I am honoured your journey has brought you to Smart Therapy. It would be a privilege to support you as you take the next step in healing.

Hi, I'm Rebecca

I'll help you explore your past, your present, and your psyche to get to the root of your healing needs.

In Depth Therapy, we look past the surface, going deep into your personal psychology and exploring the unconscious aspects of your mind. On this deep dive, you’ll learn to understand the unconscious, identify the underlying roots of your challenges, and examine the historical patterns that are influencing your life. Through insight, you will start to shift the patterns, behaviours, and symptoms that are holding you back.

I offer a conversational and personable approach to therapy. I've been a therapist for over a decade; together, we will go to a place of depth in every session.

GET TO KNOW ME

What you're experiencing right now...

  •  The same pattern keeps happening over and over—in your relationships, in your behaviours, in your thoughts—and you don’t know why.
  •  You feel stuck—in your mood, your circumstances, your habits. You want to break out of it, but you don’t know how.
  •  You’re desperate to change how you respond to life’s difficulties.
  •  You’re tired of emotional distress; you know you need to improve your self-soothing abilities. But what’s the first step?

Maybe you've tried some self-care, read a few self-help books, made some resolutions…but all those efforts just aren’t cutting it. Maybe you’ve even tried therapy before, but challenging your thoughts didn’t do enough for you. Your relationships, how you feel in your body, your mood and emotions, the way you relate to yourself—you want it all to be better. You want a shift to happen. You want to break free.

 

You're in the right place...

Specializing In Treating...

Trauma, Anxiety, OCD, & Self-Esteem
Virtual therapy in Ontario for anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem

PTSD & Childhood Trauma

Childhood trauma and complex trauma can come from experiences of betrayal, neglect, or emotional unavailability in important relationships (such as caregivers or partners), leading to deep-seated feelings of insecurity and mistrust. Healing from trauma or PTSD requires a gentle approach, where you can learn self-acceptance and find a sense of safety while also building supportive connections with others.

Self-Esteem & Identity

Self-esteem—your sense of worth and value in the world—is a crucial aspect of mental health. Healthy self-esteem leads to feelings of self-appreciation, self-acceptance, and self-compassion; by building up self-esteem, you can embrace your strengths and flourish in life. But self-esteem doesn’t come from just thinking more positive thoughts; it requires processing painful experiences and healing from past wounds, tasks that can be hard to accomplish alone.
