Goodbye Jesus

psychotherapist saying hello!

Recommended Posts

Hello folks,

 

I wanted to say hello. I'm a licensed psychotherapist in Toronto, Canada who has a special interest in working with ex-members of conservative or fundamentalist religious groups. I have a practice in Toronto, and I also do online or phone sessions with people who live in rural areas, or people in other cities who would like to work with me. I wont say too much about that here,  but feel free to send me a message if you have any interest or questions about that.

 

I got into this work because of my own experience growing up in a very dogmatic religious community. At the same time, I went to a "secular" school and ended up befriending a lot of non-religious kids. What resulted was a very split life, between my ultra conservative culture and my liberal education and social groups. I was utterly split and confused. I ended up with pretty severe depression, as well as a whole lot of other issues around identity and personal meaning to work through. It took a long time to really get to know who I really am, what I find meaningful, and how I want to live my life. In my experience, it's a process that takes a lot of time and care and support, and it really can't be rushed.

 

I'm looking forward to reading your stories and getting to know some of you.

Welcome Contemplation

 

You have a rewarding and important vocation.... possibly one that will grow as more people start (hopefully) realizing religion for what it is.

 

Looking forward to seeing your posts here.

Hi Contemplation.

 

So in Canada I can be a Psycho, and a therapist?  I may have finally found my calling! :)
