Therapy Services
Psychotherapy is not one-size-fits-all, as each individual's experiences, challenges, and needs are unique. We provide collaborative and personalized care that is tailored to your goals and circumstances.
We offer an integrative approach to therapy and wellness providing flexible and holistic care that combines a variety of therapeutic modalities and approaches to ensure we meet your needs, wherever you are, in your individual mental health journey.
Our Services
Individual Therapy
Parent support positions caregivers as the primary agents of healing rather than mere behavioral disciplinarians. By learning to validate a child's underlying emotions first, parents can de-escalate intense behavioral storms, transform into effective "emotion coaches," and restore a secure attachment baseline that fosters long-term resilience. Crucially, this approach also helps parents identify and heal their own internal "emotion blocks" (such as guilt or conflict avoidance), shifting them away from stress-induced reactivity and helpless burnout into a position of calm intention, confidence, and mutual connection.
Parent & Caregiver Support
Individual psychotherapy provides a confidential, collaborative space to move beyond simply coping with life's challenges and toward deep, lasting healing. By pairing evidence-based psychological modalities with a compassionate, holistic approach, individual therapy helps you uncover the root causes of distress, break free from unhelpful patterns like chronic perfectionism or anxiety, and develop practical tools for emotional regulation. Whether you are navigating a major life transition, processing trauma, or learning to manage a neurodivergent brain, one-on-one therapy empowers you to reclaim your sense of agency, cultivate self-compassion, and build a life that feels genuinely aligned with who you are.
Delivery Methods
In-Person Therapy
We offer secure, virtual appointments so you can attend therapy from the comfort, convenience, and privacy of your own chosen environment. This eliminates commuting time and fits seamlessly into a busy schedule. Our only request is that you ensure you have a quiet, private space and a stable internet connection for your appointment.
Mae Therapeutics uses the Jane App platform, a cloud-based practice management and EMR software for health and wellness clinics. Jane is compliant with PHIPA, FIPPA and PIPEDA.
Virtual Therapy
We offer in-person sessions for those who prefer to be out of their environment, in a neutral location where they can speak freely. In-person psychotherapy can reduce distractions and ensure your dedicated time is optimized to meet your therapy needs. All in-person appointments are offered at our office in Whitby.
Our office is located on the second floor of the building and unfortunately, is not mobility or wheelchair accessible.

Perfectionism
Therapy for perfectionism focuses on decoupling your self-worth from your achievements and the rigid expectations you place upon yourself. Treatment for perfectionism helps you move away from the mindset that views anything less than perfect as a failure. This process allows you to reclaim your sense of agency, fostering the flexibility needed to pursue your goals with curiosity rather than persistent anxiety.
Mom Burnout
Therapy for mom burnout is about shifting out of survival mode by addressing the chronic physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion that persists despite rest. Treatment for burnt-out moms focuses on moving away from simply coping and instead redefining your identity beyond motherhood by reducing the mental load, establishing healthy boundaries, and creating sustainable lifestyle changes.
Life Transitions

Therapy for life transitions helps individuals manage the emotional, mental, and practical aspects of significant life changes, fostering growth and personal development as they adjust to new phases in their lives.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Therapy for ADHD provides a collaborative space to move beyond the frustration of "trying harder" and toward a practical understanding of your neurodivergent brain. By focusing on the intersection of executive functioning and emotional well-being, we help develop tailored strategies for time management, organization, and overcoming procrastination. Beyond productivity, therapy for ADHD addresses the internal experience, including rejection sensitivity and the exhaustion of masking.
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)
Therapy for PMDD focuses on tracking cycle-related symptoms to build a predictable map of your emotional landscape, allowing for better preparation and self-advocacy. Therapy for PMDD helps you develop tools for emotion regulation and managing brain-fog. Beyond symptom management, it offers a supportive environment to create a sustainable, cycle-based self-care plan, helping you reclaim your sense of consistency and agency throughout the entire month.
Perinatal Mental Health
Therapy for perinatal mental health provides a specialized, compassionate space to navigate the profound emotional and psychological shifts that occur during pregnancy and the first year of parenthood. By focusing on the unique pressures of this transition, treatment helps parents manage the "what-ifs" of perinatal anxiety, process the symptoms of postpartum depression, and address the intrusive thoughts that can often feel overwhelming or isolating. Through a trauma-informed lens, therapy offers tools for nervous system regulation and self-compassion, helping you build confidence in your new role as a mom.
