Experienced psychotherapy for individuals and couples in Ontario, with a focus on trauma, anxiety, and the patterns that shape how we live and love.
There's a particular kind of exhaustion that comes from managing something for years, keeping it contained, staying functional, hoping it will eventually ease. Often it doesn't. Not without the right support. If you're ready to work with someone who understands that, I'd like to hear from you.
Jim Squire, RP, CCTP, Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO) with over 20 years of clinical experience serving adults across Ontario.
What working with us looks like
Twenty years of clinical experience means we've sat with a lot of different stories. Here's what stays consistent across all of them.
We work at the root, not just the surface
Most people who come to us have already tried managing their symptoms, the anxiety, the sleeplessness, the relationship patterns. That work matters. But lasting change usually requires going deeper. Our approach is grounded in trauma-informed, body-aware therapy that addresses what's underneath, not just what's visible.
You set the pace
There's no pressure to move faster than feels safe. Some of the most important work happens slowly. We follow your lead — and we know how to sit with difficult material without rushing past it.
Specialist training, applied practically Advanced clinical training in IFS, MBCT, somatic therapy, Gottman Method, and EFT — not as a list of credentials, but as a genuine toolkit. Different people need different approaches. We have the range to meet you where you are.
Fully virtual, across Ontario
All sessions take place online — which means no commute, no waiting room, and the ability to do meaningful work from wherever you feel most comfortable. Clients join us from Toronto, the GTA, and across the province.
Trauma
When the past keeps showing up in the present
Many of the adults we work with don't think of themselves as trauma survivors. They think of themselves as people who are anxious, or reactive, or struggling in relationships they can't quite make work. Often, there's a connection between those patterns and earlier experiences that never fully resolved. We work with both — the symptoms you can see and the roots you can't.
Anxiety
When your mind won't let you rest
Not the occasional worry that passes. The kind that's always running in the background, the hypervigilance, the overanalysis, the sense that something is about to go wrong even when everything looks fine. We work with anxiety at the nervous system level, not just the thought level.
Relationship Therapy
When the people closest to you feel the furthest away
Relationships don't fail because people stop caring. They struggle because old patterns — often learned long before the relationship began — get activated by the people we're most attached to. Whether you're navigating conflict, distance, or a slow disconnection, we work with both partners to understand what's happening beneath the surface.
Individual Therapy
For the version of you that's ready for something different
Sometimes you can't quite see what's keeping you stuck only that something is. Individual therapy provides the space and the perspective to start making sense of it. We work with adults at all stages, people in crisis, people who are functional but unfulfilled, and everyone in between.
Online therapy offers a flexible and accessible way for individuals and couples to engage in psychotherapy from the comfort of their own homes. This format can reduce barriers such as travel time and scheduling conflicts, making it easier for clients to prioritize their mental health.
Many clients find that online therapy provides a sense of safety and privacy, allowing them to open up more freely. Additionally, with the rise of digital communication tools, therapists can effectively utilize video calls, messaging, and other resources to create a comprehensive therapeutic experience tailored to each client's needs.
At Jim Squire and Associates Psychotherapy we believe healing is a journey we embark on together. Our approach is client-centered, rooted in the understanding that you already hold the inner wisdom and capacity to heal and grow.
Our role is to create a safe, supportive space where that process can unfold at your pace. Safety is the foundation of all meaningful change.
