 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am extremely grateful for the support my Mom received through psychotherapy and counselling service at 101 Psychotherapy & Counselling Vaughan. Her therapist was attentive, empathetic, and genuinely invested in helping her work through the experienced challenges. Each session provided practical tools and new perspectives that helped her to  improve her emotional well-being and confidence. The office was welcoming, scheduling was convenient, and the overall experience exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for professional and effective mental health support.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was pretty nervous about starting therapy, but Tatiana Dvorkina made it feel like just grabbing coffee with a very wise friend. She’s helped me to understand my problem and given useful techniques to manage my daily anxiety. The clinic is professional but still feels cozy and safe. Do recommend!

Your Mental Health Is Our Priority

Local Psychotherapists Serving Markham & York Region

Markham is a big, diverse community, and the reasons people reach out are just as varied: work stress in the tech corridor along Highway 7, relationship strain, parenting pressures, sleep that will not settle, or anxiety that has quietly grown louder. Wherever you are in the city, whether Unionville, Markham Village, Cornell, Berczy Village or along the Thornhill border that we share with our Vaughan neighbourhood, you can work with a registered psychotherapist who takes the time to understand your context.

Because the clinic is located in Vaughan at Dufferin Street and Steeles Avenue, the west-Markham areas are only a short drive away for in-person sessions, while clients further east often prefer the convenience of secure video appointments. Whichever you choose, the care is the same: structured, evidence-based methods like CBT and EFT, delivered with warmth and without judgement. We do not promise quick fixes. We help you build practical skills and lasting understanding at a pace that fits your life.

Online Therapy in Markham & Across Ontario

Prefer to meet from home? We provide secure virtual therapy to clients throughout Markham and anywhere in Ontario, the same registered therapists and the same fees as our in-person sessions, simply over private video. Online therapy is a practical option if you are balancing work in the Markham tech sector, juggling childcare, commuting, or you would just rather skip the drive. Sessions are confidential, and you only need a quiet space and a stable connection. For many people, virtual counselling makes it far easier to start, and to keep going week to week.
