About…

Are you new to therapy? Not sure where to start or feeling overwhelmed by options? Not sure what the process will look like? It’s a lot to think about. I can help.

I’m Stefania Bonanno, a Registered Social Worker (RSW) and therapist, based in Ontario, Canada. I am a client-centered social worker, who emphasizes the need to build a strong sense of safety and security within the relationship.  My approach is grounded in creating a supportive and empowering environment where folks feel heard, respected, and in control of their own journey. I believe in adapting my practice to the unique needs and rhythms of each individual, prioritizing flexibility and responsiveness in every session. While I value structure in respects to people’s goals, I also trust that the most effective outcomes often come from staying open to where the process leads and adjusting based on what comes up in the moment. This fluid approach fosters a deeper, more authentic connection and promotes a person’s self-determination throughout our work together. I believe having a supportive and flexible relationship with your therapist can make all the difference. We work together to make the changes you need in your life. 

I am specialized in providing individual therapy to those who have experienced trauma, substance use issues and/ or mental health diagnoses. I offer a compassionate approach to therapy, focusing on exploring patterns of behaviour, processing life’s challenges, and navigating critical life decisions.

Sometimes life gets hard, but I also know with the right support, anyone can overcome obstacles and reach their full potential. It’s not easy, or linear, but it is possible. By integrating various therapeutic modalities such as Compassionate Inquiry, Internal Family Systems, CBT and motivational interviewing, I ensure a personalized therapy experience.
