Michael

Mr Michael Greene

Psychotherapist (Registered)

I am a psychotherapist in private practice for 30 years. I use a depth approach that looks at root causes of a person's problems.

About Me

For over 35 years I have helped individuals explore the deeper origins of their challenges. My depth approach invites you to uncover patterns and experiences shaping your present. This can be particularly helpful for those feeling stuck, seeking lasting change beyond surface-level solutions. We work collaboratively to foster profound understanding and a more authentic way forward.

Approach

My work moves beneath symptoms to the narratives and bodily responses that often fuel them, inviting steady curiosity rather than quick fixes. In Toronto I offer in-person and online sessions in English, paced to your tolerance and scheduled to fit life transitions and recovery rhythms. Sessions blend attentive listening, somatic noticing and small experiments between meetings so you can safely test new ways of coping with trauma, addictive patterns, anxiety, anger and mood shifts. People seeking deeper, durable change tend to find this measured, exploratory pace helpful.
