Jonathan Handel, RSW, MSW

Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist

Finding the right therapist is essential. Your therapeutic relationship should be built on trust, connection, and support. You shouldn't have to compromise on finding the right fit.

As a father, partner, working professional, enthusiastic (if not always gifted) athlete, and friend, I’ve experienced many of the same ups and downs my clients face. These lived experiences allow me to offer empathy and understanding as we work together toward meaningful change.

Over the course of my healthcare career, I’ve supported individuals in becoming the best versions of themselves. I take a holistic approach to therapy that explores the patterns of the past while also focusing on what it means to live a values-based, fulfilling life. Our work together will be strengths-based and person-centred, tailored to your unique needs and goals. You already possess many tools within you; my role is to help you make the most of them and add to your emotional toolbox along the way.

As a Registered Social Worker, I’m committed to providing high-quality, compassionate care. Our sessions will provide a space for you to gain clarity, manage distress, and receive support. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, addiction, sleep issues, life transitions, relationship challenges, chronic pain, and more. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), and others, always tailored to your needs.

You've already taken a meaningful first step by seeking therapy. Let’s work together to create the change you’re looking for and help you live the life you want to live.
