Karen Freud - Psychotherapy/Art Therapy

Online Psychotherapy | Art Therapy for individuals residing anywhere in Ontario, Canada. On-Site Contracted Services for 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.

Some days, gratitude comes easily—a milestone, good news, something undeniably “big.” But most of life isn’t made up of those moments. It’s made up of small, ordinary things that often slip by unnoticed: a cup of coffee that tastes just right, a kind text, sunlight on your desk, the relief of crossing something off your list.

These moments may not change your life but noticing them can change how you feel in your life.

You don’t need the ‘right words’ to start therapy. Through art, we can access what you might not even realize you’re holding onto 💛

Therapy is about showing up—for yourself, your growth, and the work you’re doing. But sometimes, things don’t go as planned. You might forget a session, need to cancel or reschedule at the last minute, arrive late, or have to leave early. When that happens, many therapists and clinics charge a fee.

From a client’s perspective, this can feel frustrating or even unfair. You might wonder:

🔹Why am I being charged for a session that didn’t happen?
🔹If I rescheduled - even in the same week - why is there still a fee?
🔹If I was late or left early, why am I still paying the full amount?

These are valid questions. Read my latest blog post to understand why these policies exist, what they reflect, and how to navigate them with clarity and care.

Some days, the world just feels like a lot. Even if your own life is relatively steady, the weight of what’s happening around you—globally, nationally, or locally—can quietly wear you down.

You don’t have to "fix" how you feel. But you can take small, intentional steps that help you feel more grounded—without numbing out or spiraling.

Healing doesn’t happen in a straight line. Some days you’ll feel on top of the world, other days you’ll just get by—and some days you might stumble or fall short. And that’s all part of the process. 🌊

You know something’s off — physically, emotionally, mentally. There’s a shift in your energy, your thoughts, your motivation. But you’re not sure whether it’s anxiety, depression, or something else entirely.

That uncertainty is common — and it often leads to a very reasonable question:
What’s really going on?
