Ms Wendy van Es

Registered Psychotherapist

Is there a tight, aching feeling in your chest, a knot in your stomach, or a sense that you can’t fully exhale? Replaying conversations, second-guessing yourself, and worrying about what could go wrong next? Do some days feel flat and worn down, like you’re just getting through things instead of really being present? You’re tired of waiting for this to pass on its own and starting to wonder if it’s time for real support. I work with adults who have been living with anxiety, low mood, trauma, or ongoing stress. They want relief and understanding, as well as a way to feel more at ease in their lives without having to push harder. I offer virtual psychotherapy for adults across Ontario. I work with anxiety, trauma, depression, and the effects of long-term stress. Therapy focuses on helping you feel better in your day-to-day life, understand what’s been shaping your reactions, and find ways through things without constantly pushing yourself. Starting therapy can feel uncomfortable at first, I get it. That's why finding the right fit is so important when starting therapy. I welcome you to reach out, book a free consultation, and see where it goes from there. No commitment, just a chance to explore how therapy can help. If you’re ready to explore your options, this can be a good place to start.

About Me

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in Toronto, Ontario. I help you address anxiety, mood disorders, low self-esteem, shame, and self-care challenges through individual therapy and Brainspotting.

Approach

My work is grounded in an integrative, polyvagal-informed approach. I support healing by working with the mind, body, and nervous system together. Using CBT, we explore and shift unhelpful thought patterns; Compassion-Focused Therapy and mindfulness help reduce self-criticism and build emotional safety; and Brainspotting supports the release of trauma and stress held in the body. Through a nervous-system–aware lens, therapy focuses on restoring regulation, safety, and connection, allowing for lasting change and a more grounded sense of well-being.
