I’m a graduate student completing my practicum at Jhanelle Peters Psychotherapy through Yorkville University’s Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology program. I also hold a BA in Psychology and Sociology from York University.
I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. Whether you feel stuck in patterns with a partner, overwhelmed by family dynamics, or struggle to connect in friendships, I’m here to help. I also have experience supporting neurodivergent individuals and those facing stress from school, work, or life changes.
I have specialized training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a model that helps people heal through a deeper emotional connection with themselves and others. My approach is compassionate, down-to-earth, and always tailored to meet your unique needs.
If you feel weighed down by the pressure to keep it all together, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to go through it by yourself. This is a judgment-free space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported. You’ve already come this far, and that’s not by accident. If this feels like the right time to begin, let’s connect.

I grew up in a rural agricultural community in Kerala, Southern India, where a culture rooted in caring and sharing shaped my values and inspired my path toward a helping profession. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Commerce from the University of Calicut, then pursued a Master’s in Social Work from Kerala University, specializing in Medical and Psychiatric Social Work. Adapting to city life was initially challenging, but it also helped me grow personally and professionally.
I began my career as a Family Counsellor, supporting individuals, couples, and families with conflict resolution, communication, and daily life challenges. Motivated by a long-held dream, I founded a non-profit organization serving marginalized communities including fishermen, women, sex workers, and LGBTQ+ individuals. As Director, I led initiatives in behavior change communication, legal and medical aid, counselling, community development, and training for 13 years. During this time, I also earned a Law degree (LLB) from Calicut University.
Later, I joined FXB International, overseeing programs across four Indian states, focusing on vulnerable children, women, and families. In 2012, I immigrated to Canada and started over. I completed a certificate in Canadian Social Work Practice from Ryerson University and had my MSW recognized as equivalent in Canada, leading to my registration as a Social Worker.
In Canada, I worked with CMHA Toronto in the Mental Health Court Support Program, later becoming a Concurrent Disorders Specialist. I provided therapy to individuals navigating mental health and addiction, developing expertise in harm reduction, relapse prevention, and life skills. I pursued certifications in CBT, DBT, MI, SFBT, and EFFT, and currently provide structured psychotherapy and facilitate therapy groups for anxiety, depression, psychosis, addiction, and emotion regulation. I remain passionate about supporting people in achieving meaningful, empowered change.

Reflecting on my journey to becoming a therapist, I recall pivotal moments in my life that led me to pursue education in counselling psychology. I spent my teenage years volunteering with children in my community through local programs and youth groups. Here I began to learn and experience the uniqueness that each individual holds. In my youth, I also had access to various therapeutic supports in my area, ranging from government-funded services through OHIP to group therapeutic experiences offered by local specialists and hospitals. This aided my exploration into varying therapeutic supports and further highlighted my realization that mental health supports are not a one-size-fits-all solution, and the importance of building therapeutic supports to be person-centered and created in collaboration with the person involved.
This continued as I pursued my undergraduate degree, allowing me to work with diverse demographics and communities through local YMCA programs that provided support to children and youth from all socio economic backgrounds. During this time, I learned more about the various challenges and experiences people face, and realized that hardship and difficult times can affect individuals of all ages, abilities, and situations. This continued my exploration and learning about individuals experiences, fueling my desire to continue helping and making a
positive impact on others. During my undergraduate degree, I was able to pursue education in both psychology and Indigenous studies. This is where I began to learn more about trauma and its impacts while also incorporating holistic perspectives and teachings. As I gained the opportunity to work with a variety of individuals from all walks of life, I realized the importance of highlighting the unique strengths individuals possess, as well as the importance of empowerment and support in aiding a persons mental health or healing journey. This sparked my commitment to continued learning about trauma and mental health advocacy.
Fast forward to my Master’s education in Counselling Psychology, where I learned about various theories, tools, and skills that can be applied to therapeutic work with individuals. Ultimately, what led me to pursue this educational journey was realizing that as individuals, we all hold experiences and situations that challenge us. At the same time, I also believe that each of us has the strengths and skills to heal and overcome challenges. My role is to help identify the strengths you already possess and empower individuals to create healing and positive change. This can be achieved by creating a space that is calm and safe, where your voice can be heard and compassion and empathy are at the forefront of the work.

Hi! I’m Tolulola Taiwo-Hanna (Tolu), and I am a registered social worker and psychotherapist in Ontario, with a bachelor’s degree in social work and a minor in psychology, as well as a master’s degree in social work.
In my clinical practice, I have had the privilege of working in women’s mental health, general psychiatry, and gerontology, helping individuals, couples and families navigate significant life transitions, trauma, racial trauma, microaggressions, grief, conflict, interpersonal relationships, and low self-esteem.
I use a client-centered (humanistic), anti-oppressive and transformative social work practice approach. As a Nigerian-Canadian, my practice is rooted in principles of Afrocentrism anchored in the belief that we cannot be[come] whole in isolation, and that there is something greater than ourselves that is beyond what our eyes can see.
To better meet the needs of each individual client, I apply an integrative approach to psychotherapy, weaving together different treatment modalities from my training and personal experience.
Together, I hope we can bring you to a place of healing; help you hold your thoughts and feelings with an open hand; work toward identifying your values and living more closely in line with them; and deepen your sense of self-love while simultaneously adopting a more loving posture toward those around you.

Hello! My name is André, a registered psychotherapist (qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.
I have always been curious about relationships and how they shape us. In my experience, love, joy, grief, loss, trauma, anger, conflict, and other emotions all happen in the context of relationships. My goal as your therapist is to help you explore and strengthen your relationship with yourself and others.
I focus on relationships, mainly drawing on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Narrative Therapy, and Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy, using a strength-based approach to help individuals, couples, and families. I also have a passion for working with youth (ages 13-18) and experience providing court-mandated and domestic violence programs.
With over a decade of experience as a law enforcement officer, I understand the value of embarking on a mental health journey that focuses on self-care and resilience while balancing professional and personal demands.

My approach to therapy is client-centred, anti-oppressive, culturally informed, and trauma-informed, all grounded in social justice principles. I believe that every person’s journey is unique, and I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities to tailor my approach to your individual needs.

Your journey is uniquely yours, and I’m here to offer the support and space you need to explore it. Together, we’ll work at your pace, honouring where you are and where you want to go. I look forward to being a part of your healing process.
