How Can Sonia Help?

As a trusted psychologist at our Scarborough clinic, Sonia provides individual therapy for a wide range of concerns—from depression and anxiety to BPD and addictions.

Depression: If you’re feeling low, disconnected or unmotivated, Sonia helps you better understand what’s driving those feelings and begin rebuilding your sense of self and purpose.

Anxiety: Sonia helps you manage your anxious thoughts, calm your body’s response, and build confidence in everyday situations.

BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder): With Sonia’s help, you’ll manage your intense emotions, set healthy boundaries, communicate more effectively, and build emotional stability.

Adjustment Disorders: Life has a way of shifting when we least expect it, and even planned changes can feel overwhelming. Sonia helps you work through these changes, for example, separation, illness, or job loss, to gain clarity and perspective.

Bipolar Affective Disorder (BPAD): Sonia helps you recognise the patterns in your mood cycles, identify early warning signs, and manage your daily routines and emotional responses with more confidence and stability.

Addictions: If you’re struggling with an addiction, Sonia helps you identify the triggers, build healthier habits, and find meaning beyond the addiction.

Parenting Stress: Raising kids is one of life’s biggest challenges – and Sonia understands it well. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure how to cope, she’ll help you slow down and reconnect.

Relationship and Communication Challenges: Sonia offers a supportive space to explore the dynamics of your relationships, improve how you express yourself, set healthy boundaries, and deepen your emotional understanding..

Grief and Bereavement: Losing someone important is never easy, and the grieving process is different for everyone. Sonia supports you through the sadness, confusion or anger in a safe setting, helping you ease the weight of loss.
