Psychodynamic Therapy Toronto

Hartley Psychotherapy is a clinic dedicated to the practice of psychodynamic therapy for Toronto patients. This practice is a depth-oriented and evidence-based approach to mental health.

What to Expect at Hartley Psychotherapy

Your journey with us begins with a complimentary 15-minute consultation call. This initial conversation is an opportunity for you to ask questions and for us to understand what brings you to therapy. We will discuss how the process works and how it can be tailored to your unique needs. 

The characteristics of psychodynamic therapy include clarifying ideas about who you are and who you would like to be. By putting words to experiences, memories and emotions that may have previously felt out of reach, therapy fosters a stronger sense of purpose and fulfillment.

This insight-oriented work is key to creating meaningful change. Through finding new understanding and meaning, this process will lead to improvements in your mental health and overall well-being.

We are committed to making our services accessible, offering both in-person psychotherapy in Toronto and virtual sessions across Ontario.
