Kevin brings a unique perspective in his therapeutic approach, informed by his work in supporting individuals with physical and developmental differences, children and youth, and families processing life transitions, challenging emotions and traumatic experiences. A variety of art forms are used in his work including drama, visualization and storytelling to encourage self exploration and healing.

We are very excited to welcome Sara Martel to the Danforth East Wellness psychotherapy team!

Sara Martel is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who works with individuals, couples, and families struggling with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, identity, shame, self-acceptance, grief, parenting, post-partum, infertility, and pregnancy loss. Sara approaches therapy as a collaborative relationship, creating an emotionally safe and non-judgmental space for clients to build self-awareness, self-compassion, resilience, and healing. She works primarily through talk-therapy, meaning you can expect sessions to be conversational, while also incorporating techniques such as mindfulness and breath work. Sara draws on a range of modalities, including Relational Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. Above all, she strives to create an anti-oppressive practice, recognizing the social, cultural, and political aspects of who we are and how we relate to one another.

Sara is able to work with clients through a virtual platform, and also has some in-person hours at the clinic if that is preferred. You can set up a short 15 or 20 minute session with her to see if she might be a good fit to help you work through any issues that you may be experiencing.
