Karen Freud - Psychotherapy/Art Therapy Psychotherapy | Art Therapy for Adults. In-person in North York
Online across Ontario

On-Site Partnerships with Community Organizations Hello, and welcome!

My name is Karen. Based in Ontario, Canada I provide online psychotherapy and/or art therapy. I am curious, patient, open, reflective and supportive. I will help you understand what motivates your thoughts and actions. I will help you find effective ways of coping with problems. I may at times gently challenge you (e.g. to think about things in a different way and be open to new ideas) but I will do so with empathy and only when the timing feels right and you are ready. It's very important that you feel comfortable and at ease with me. If you'd like to know more about my therapeutic style or more information about how I work, I'm happy to offer a FREE no obligation 20-minute consult.

Today can bring up a mix of feelings. For some people it’s a joyful day; for others it can feel stressful, lonely, complicated, or just like any other day. Whatever your experience is, it’s valid.

It’s okay to take a moment for yourself, pause, and stay connected to what helps you feel steady.

Wishing you a day that supports what you need.

Wondering how long therapy lasts? It varies depending on your goals and circumstances.

Some concerns can be worked through in a few months, while more complex or long-standing issues may take longer. Others choose to stay in therapy because it continues to support their well-being in different areas of life. Everyone’s path is unique, and there’s no one “right” timeline.

It’s totally normal to feel a bit unsure or nervous about starting therapy — especially if you’re not sure what to expect.

Therapy is a space where you can just be yourself. Your therapist is there to guide you, answer any questions you have, and work with you to figure out what support you need and how to get there.

Some people use the term “counselling” when describing therapy (or psychotherapy), and there is overlap. Counselling often focuses on short-term, solution-focused support for specific challenges, such as learning coping strategies or managing stress in the moment. Psychotherapy tends to explore deeper emotional patterns and the underlying causes of your challenges.
