Jonathan Handel, MSW

Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist

Your relationship with your therapist needs trust and support, and you should not compromise on finding the right fit.

As a father, partner, working professional, enthusiastic-though-not-always-gifted athlete, and friend, I have undergone many of the ups and downs my clients have. These experiences lay a foundation of empathy and support for our therapeutic relationship.

Throughout my healthcare career, I have supported clients in becoming the best versions of themselves. I value a holistic approach that considers the person within the context of their environment, as you cannot separate a person from their experience. As we delve into your experience, we will take a strengths-based, person-centred approach tailored to your needs. You already possess many tools, and I will help you make the most of them as we build your emotional toolbox.

As a Registered Social Worker, I am dedicated to providing high-quality therapeutic care. You can look forward to sessions as an opportunity to gain perspective, seek relief and get support. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, grief, stress management, sleep disorders, major life changes, relationship issues, chronic pain and much more. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) and other approaches based on what fits your needs as they arise.

You have already taken the first step by seeking therapy. Let’s work together to bring about the change you desire and help you live the life you want to live. If you wish, you can contact the clinic for more information.
