Home - Victoria Donahue Toronto Psychotherapist

Welcome!

I’m Victoria.

I believe that what we’re looking for is to become ourselves. We aren’t looking to be a “better” version of ourselves. We’re looking to connect to who we are at our core, without the adaptations we unconsciously took on to survive. These adaptations, often wired into our brain and nervous system, can manifest differently for different people. For you, it might be perfectionism, procrastination, an inner critic, low self-esteem or anxiety, to name a few. My approach combines the best of practical psychology, science and grounded spiritual psychology. I make complex psychological concepts accessible and actionable so that you can achieve sustainable change and true transformation.
