Relationship therapist in Midtown Toronto & across Ontario
It’s time to rediscover your calm, clarity, and connection
Jennifer Bartok MSW | RSW | emotionally-focused psychotherapist
You’re here because you’ve already done all the things…
👉 You’ve gone on vacation, hoping to rest.
👉 You’ve asked people for help, hoping to lighten your load.
👉 You’ve binged watched shows on Netflix, hoping to relax.
👉 You’ve spent hours scrolling on social media trying to find the right answer, hoping to get unstuck.
But you’re just not bouncing back like you used to. It seems that your old tips & tricks are no longer working and you can’t figure out what’s wrong.
You’re in the right place
How I work
At the core of my approach to therapy is connection - gentle, steady, and real.
I believe healing happens in safe, compassionate relationships, where you don’t have to hide the messy parts of yourself. Relationships where you feel safe enough to slow down, breathe and be real.
Together, we’ll explore what’s keeping you stuck and help you (re)connect with calm, clarity, and JOY.
My approach combines evidence-based methods like Emotionally Focused and attachment-based therapy with care that’s tailored uniquely to you.
✨Let’s calm the storm inside and create the life you long for.
Here’s what I believe about therapy
✨ It’s not about quick fixes. It’s about slowing down, understanding your emotions, and finding your way back to connection.
Therapy helps you understand your emotions, uncover patterns that no longer serve you, and practice new ways of connecting that bring more calm, clarity, and closeness into your life.
✨ It’s an investment in yourself - in the calm, connection, and confidence that help you build the relationships you deserve.
You’ve done enough. It’s time to (re)connect.
When you invest in yourself, you’re also investing in your relationships.
Therapy helps you make sense of your emotions, communicate with more ease, and create closeness that feels safe, supportive, and real.
✨ It’s about discovering you are inherently deserving of healthy, loving relationships and that closeness isn’t something you have to chase, but something you can gently build.
Therapy helps you slow down and understand what gets in the way of feeling close; whether with yourself or others.
Together, we’ll explore the patterns that create distance and practice new ways of relating that feel safe, supportive, and real.
