Petrea Therapy – Registered Psychotherapist Claimed

Petrea Therapy in Toronto, Ontario

I am a registered psychotherapist (RP) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and a certified art therapist (RCAT) with the Canadian Art Therapy Association. Since graduating from the Toronto Art Therapy Institute in 1995, I have accumulated over 25 years of experience working with children, adolescents, parents, and adults.

My background includes extensive work as a child and family therapist, as well as an expressive arts therapist at Sick Kids Centre for Community Mental Health (formerly Hincks Dellcrest Centre). I specialize in trauma therapy and have significant experience on the infant and preschool team. My approach emphasizes leveraging individual and family strengths to support emotional health, addressing challenges such as mood disorders, loss, trauma, anxiety, and behavioral issues.

I offer a range of therapeutic services, including individual therapy, dyadic therapy, and family therapy. My training encompasses art therapy, play therapy, Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), Brief Therapy, Watch, Wait, and Wonder, Dyadic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Trauma-Focused Therapy.

At Petrea Therapy in Toronto, Ontario, I provide compassionate support for managing anxiety, trauma, grief, and transitions.
