Hi there, I’m Brooke, and I’m so glad that you’re here.

You might be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or struggling to keep up with life’s demands. Or perhaps everything in your life looks good on the surface, but something still feels missing. Whatever brings you to therapy, you don’t have to navigate it alone. We’ll work together to help you better understand yourself and reconnect with what is most important to you.

I believe that the most important relationship you can have is with yourself. You are the expert in your life, and my role is to walk alongside you as you navigate your journey. My goal is to create a warm, non-judgmental, and safe space for you to explore and reflect on your experiences.

Everyone brings something unique into therapy, and my approach reflects that. I integrate aspects from a range of therapeutic modalities into my practice, including cognitive behavioural, person-centred, psychodynamic, and mindfulness-based therapies. We will work together to find what feels right for you.

I am currently a therapist intern practicing under the supervision of a registered psychotherapist. I am pursuing my Master of Education in Counselling Psychology at the University of Toronto and hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology at Western University. In the past, I was a behaviour therapist supporting children and youth with autism, and I have volunteered as a crisis responder with Kids Help Phone. My undergraduate research focused on eating disorders and body image, and I am passionate about bringing this knowledge to my therapeutic practice.

Outside the clinic, I love spending time with my family and friends, walking my dog, baking, trying new restaurants and cafés, and practicing hot yoga. These are a few of the activities that keep me grounded and connected to myself. 

If this resonates with you, I’d love to connect for a consultation to see if we might be a good fit. I welcome you to use the link below or send me an email at brookelaraia.ysc@gmail.com if you have any questions.
