Sarah Bickle

Registered Psychotherapist

“I help adults move through trauma, shame, identity struggles, and emotional overwhelm using EMDR, IFS, and somatic work. Specializing in sexual trauma, LGBTQ+ care, ADHD, sex therapy, and nervous system healing. Warm, nonjudgmental, depth-oriented care. Free consults available.”

About Me

I am a Registered Psychotherapist in Old Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I help you navigate life transitions, manage anger, and address LGBTQI+ concerns. I use mindfulness, EMDR, and psychology in individual online therapy for personal development.

Approach

My sessions feel paced and intentional, inviting curiosity toward sensations, memories, and the parts of you that protect and hurt. I work in Toronto and online in English, blending gentle tracking of the body with guided, stepwise processing so overwhelm stays tolerable between and during sessions. You’ll help set the pace, experiment with grounding and inner dialogues, and practice small experiments to carry shifts into daily life. This approach tends to suit adults facing trauma, identity questions, attention challenges, or big life changes.
