Dr. Stacey Whyne
 

I have a Ph.D. in Counselling Psychology and have been Registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario since 1994. I have been working in private practice providing individual psychotherapy and psychological assessments to a wide range of clients. Prior to beginning my private practice in 2001, I gathered extensive therapeutic and assessment experience through my employment at The Toronto District School Board, as well as in hospitals (psychiatric units) and university settings (including both counselling centres and accessibility/disability services). I have significant cross-cultural experience, and have done a lot of work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, difficulty coping with a traumatic history, and relationship issues. My approach is informed by psychodynamic, emotion-focused, and mindfulness principles. I also have extensive training in Gestalt Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Relational Life Therapy, trauma therapy as well as compassion-based therapy. Finally, I am a certified EMDR practitioner. I flexibly draw on these varied theoretical orientations to best suit the needs of each individual client. It is my intention to work side by side with clients to assist in exploring their current and past experiences, with the aim of developing strengths and helping to remove barriers to joy and fulfillment.
