What in-person therapy offers
Starting therapy can take courage and we aim to create a welcoming, private, and calming space in which you feel as comfortable as you can to share what is important to you.
Many clients choose in-person support because it can:
- Help you feel grounded and focused
- Create a clear separation between daily life and therapy
- Support relational connection and physical attunement
- Reduce digital fatigue and distractions
- Offer a consistent, contained environment for emotional work
- Provide in-person connection for those who are more isolated or alone
Our office is located in an older building with character and charm. The therapy rooms vary in size and are designed to feel cozy, with large windows that bring in natural light.
The space is also soundproofed to ensure privacy and confidentiality during your session.

What in-person therapy helps with:
ADHD
If you are diagnosed with or think you have ADHD and need help with your mental health, relationships, school, or work life we can support you in ways that are helpful and meaningful to you. Our counsellors understand neurobiology and will help you explore and embrace your strengths and identify any growth areas that you may have that compliment your lifestyle and relationships.
Autism
If you have been diagnosed with or think you are autistic and would like to explore what this means, how it impacts your sense of self, relationships, and other parts of your life, our neurodiversity affirming therapists are here to support you. Therapy can help you heal from shame, stigma, pressures to mask or be different and help you begin to see your strengths and celebrate who you truly are.
Addictions & Substance Use
You may turn to substances such as alcohol or drugs in part to cope with emotional pain and distress in life. From a harm reduction approach, therapy can support you to understand this cycle, your past and present triggers and through non judgmental strategies open up choice by enhancing knowledge and skills to reduce harms and live a healthier and safer life. If you’re experiencing any of these challenges, talking to an individual therapist can make a real difference.
Ageing
Ageing is challenging due to physical changes like ongoing health conditions, menopause, changes in living situations, and fears about death and dying. In therapy, you will have a safe space with a compassionate professional to talk about how challenges with ageing are effecting you, navigate transitions, process any unresolved issues, and find meaning and purpose.
Anxiety and Stress
In life, we are often balancing multiple pressures and expectations related to relationships, work life, and personal interests. You may experience worry, fear, agitation, dread, or body symptoms such as headaches, pain, insomnia, or digestive issues. In therapy, you will have a safe space to talk about and understand the things that are causing you stress and anxiety, develop new coping strategies, and ultimately feel more in control of your life!
Communication
Exploring boundaries and communication issues in therapy involves developing a deeper awareness of self and other, relational patterns, people pleasing tendencies, conflict styles, attachment issues, and learning a variety of skills so that you feel more grounded, less overwhelmed by life’s demands, more respected and valued, and fulfilled in your relationships.
Depression
Depression is not just feeling down for a few days, it involves a prolonged period of sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness. In therapy we will explore the root of your feelings, help you better manage challenging emotions, address relationship stressors, and develop ways for you to have more hope and meaning in your life.
Grief and Loss
Losing someone through death or a relationship break up can be unbearable and literally heart breaking. Loss can also be of a beloved animal. Therapy is a safe space for you to express and also explore your grief and pain. At your own pace and over time, you will learn to honour your feelings and find a sense of healing or peace so you can integrate your loss, and also begin to move forward.
LGBTQ2SIA+ and Gender
Are you navigating the complexities of LGBTQIA2S+ identity and relationships? We are committed to providing affirmative therapy and a safe space for individuals of all gender identities and sexual orientations. We are aware and knowledgeable about gender affirming processes, different relationship structures such as polyamory and ENM, and offer support to individuals in the kink, swinger, and BDSM communities. We prioritize creating an inclusive and respectful environment where you can explore your identity, navigate challenges, and build resilience. Whether you’re seeking support for coming out, discrimination, relationship dynamics, family conflict, or managing mental health concerns we are here to provide the compassionate care you deserve. Reach out to us today to learn more how Horizon Therapy can support you on your journey towards acceptance, well-being, and self-discovery.
Navigating Life Transitions
Life transitions are times of something new like moving to a new home, starting a fresh job, getting married, or becoming a parent – these times can be both exciting and overwhelming! Therapy will support you through these changes, honouring both endings and new beginnings, manage uncertainty, and find balance during this transformative time in your life.
Perinatal/Postpartum
Becoming a parent is one of the most exciting and joyful times in one’s life. It is also a time that can have unique challenges and stressors related to trying to conceive, pregnancy, postpartum depression or anxiety, sleep deprivation, adjustments to parenthood, and relationship dynamics with a partner. Therapy will offer you a compassionate and safe space to express and explore your thoughts and feelings and help you regain a sense of balance, connection, calm, and confidence within yourself, your relationships, and in parenting.

Personal or Spiritual Growth
You don’t have to be in a crisis to seek out therapy. In fact, seeking therapy when life is going well can strengthen a sense of self and act as a buffer from mental health issues occurring down the road. You may simply wish to take some dedicated time to focus on exploring, nourishing, and healing yourself, and what a gift to offer yourself space for personal development to unfold and grow in new ways! We look forward to joining you on your path of self discovery and healing.
Relationship Challenges
Perhaps you struggle with communication of your needs or emotions, feel disconnected with others, or have unresolved conflicts. In therapy, we will help you understand yourself, relational patterns, and attachment styles and support you to foster deeper, more meaningful, and authentic connections.
Self-Esteem and Confidence
You may at times have difficulty finding your own strengths and self worth, and also compare yourself with others. Therapy can help you understand your feelings, explore negative thought patterns, fostering self compassion and a sense of purpose and self worth.
Sex and Intimacy
You may feel disconnected from your partner or experience challenges related to mismatched desire, communication, sexual function, navigating ethical non monogamy, or trauma that is impacting your relationship. A combination of talk therapy, psycho-education, and experiential & skill building exercises are used to help develop healthy attitudes about sex and intimacy, increase connection and pleasure, improve communication, and help strengthen and deepen your relationship for the long term!
Trauma and PTSD
Experiencing trauma can have an impact for a long time and create instability and havoc in different areas of your life and relationships. Together, we will help you process at your own pace the effects of your traumatic experiences, and help you develop new ways to cope, regain a sense of hope and control.
Workplace and Career Issues
Struggles like workplace burnout, conflict with colleagues, or imposter syndrome can cause a lot of stress and anxiety. In therapy, we will explore your challenges, and focus on coping strategies to help you with stress management, communication with others, and work-life balance.

Driving & Parking - 455 Avenue Road
Our office 455 Avenue Road, is located one block south of St. Clair Avenue on the east side of Avenue Road. It is on the corner of Avenue Road and a side street called Foxbar Road. Foxbar is a one way street, that is accessible only from the south side of St. Clair Avenue.
If you are driving, due to Toronto traffic, and limited parking, we encourage you to plan ahead and allow for additional time, especially if it is your first visit.
Street parking is not permitted on Foxbar Road or on Avenue Road, unless you have a permit. The closest free options are the side streets on the west side of Avenue Road such as Balmoral Avenue or Lynwood Avenue. These offer one hour free parking. Also, there is a school called Brown Junior School across from our office that has a parking lot that you can access behind it, where you may find free parking.
TTC Directions to 455 Avenue Road
Our office is easily accessible by TTC and we recommend this if possible as Toronto traffic can be unpredictable and stressful.
We are a short bus ride or 10–15 minute walk from St. Clair West Station (Line 1).
Several TTC bus routes run along Avenue Road and connect directly to the office entrance area.
From the nearest stop, it is a 1–3 minute walk.
