From The Heart Psychotherapy

Everyone experiences life differently, but we can make sense of it together.

My name is Sara Kamin, and I am a Toronto-based Registered Psychotherapist providing individual and couples therapy and counselling. I provide a space in which you can talk through the challenges of life in the context of a safe relationship with a caring therapist. I approach my work as a therapist with relational and empathic listening, nonjudgmental exploration, interactive engagement, respectful challenge, and mutual, collaborative participation in the therapeutic process. My work is informed by a holistic approach that respects the relational, interconnected nature of human experience. Together, we will explore the emotional, cognitive, physical, sociocultural, historical, and spiritual factors impacting your life.

Through a relational, intersubjective, psychodynamic approach, I assist clients dealing with a number of issues including:

• Anxiety and Panic
• Past or Recent Trauma
• Depression
• Shame
• LGBTQ issues
• Work and Career Issues
• Isolation and Loneliness
• Body Image issues
• Conflict
• Grief
• Bereavement and Loss
• Relationship Problems
• Sex and Sexuality
• Confidence and Self-Esteem
• Life Transitions
• Personal Growth
• Death Anxiety
• Performance Anxiety and Creative Blocks
• Self Awareness and Self Integration

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.

I hold a Diploma in Relational Psychotherapy from the Toronto Institute for Relational Psychotherapy, an intensive three-year theoretical and clinical training program in psychodynamic, intersubjective, relational psychotherapy. I am also a Clinical Member (and past Executive Board Member) of the Ontario Society of Psychotherapists, and a member of the International Association for Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy and the American Psychological Association’s Division of Psychotherapy.

I have an Honours Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Sociology from the University of Toronto and a Master of Science in Performance Psychology from the University of Edinburgh. I am also a professional musician and published writer/researcher, and have many years of experience as a consultant and college/university instructor.
