About

Meet Florence Akanbi

I am a Registered and certified Psychotherapist. Intuitive, empathic, and understanding. My belief is that a good therapist is curious, an empathetic listener, compassionate, and a problem solver. My goal is to help individuals, couples, and families find relief from emotional distress, and help them with the building blocks to structure the lives they want. In my experience as a psychotherapist, I have provided support to diverse populations, different religions, cultures and lifestyles struggling with a variety of mental health issues. I specialize in trauma, relationship issues, couples and family counseling, Depression, PTSD, grief and anxiety, ADHD, Autism Spectrum and workplace related issues;

I strive to create a space where you can safely explore and process your story with compassion and non-judgement, and together we will create a lasting strategy. We will explore therapeutic frameworks like Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT) skills, solution-focused therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and narrative therapy.

My approach is client-centered, allowing you to take an active role. We will work collaboratively to uncover the strengths you already possess that may be hidden.

I am licensed in Ontario and hold additional qualification in Trauma-informed therapy and Gottman Methods Couples Therapy.
