CBT Therapy in Etobicoke & Ontario

Are you feeling a bit overwhelmed by your emotions, maybe tangled up in anxiety, or finding it tough to connect with the people around you? I’m Regina D’cruz, a Registered Psychotherapist in Etobicoke, Ontario, and I’m here to help. With Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), I will work to help you to find calm amidst the storm, build inner strength, and get a clearer sense of who you are.

Understanding CBT Therapy?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is a tried-and-true way to help you spot and perhaps challenge those unhelpful thoughts and habits. By figuring out how your thoughts might affect your feelings and actions, you can pick up skills to deal with everyday stress, manage anxiety, tackle those down days, and face life’s changes with a bit more confidence and clarity.

The Benefits of CBT

CBT can be really helpful for sorting out everyday emotional and mental challenges. It gives you practical tools to handle overwhelming feelings, find a bit more balance, and maybe even be kinder to yourself. If you’re dealing with anxiety, feeling low, or going through some big life changes, CBT offers strategies that fit your situation, supporting lasting improvements in your mental well-being.

A Personalized Approach

Your journey is one-of-a-kind, and I’m here to make it a bit easier. I’ll combine evidence-based methods with strategies tailored just for you, to help manage stress, lift your emotional well-being, and perhaps strengthen your coping skills.
