Welcome!
I am honored to have you in this space.
My name is Leticia Osei, and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and a member in good standing with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). I am passionate about assisting individuals in overcoming life’s obstacles with compassion and empowerment.
My professional journey began in the medical field as a Registered Nurse, where I honed my skills in client care, crisis management, and holistic health. This experience provided me with a unique perspective on mental health, allowing me to approach therapy from a holistic standpoint. By focusing on the mind-body connection, I address both psychological and physiological factors that impact mental health.
Transitioning to psychotherapy, I integrated my medical expertise to create a comprehensive approach that combines medical and psychological perspectives.
As a therapist, I believe that mental health is not a linear phenomenon, but rather a multifaceted one that requires a holistic approach to address colonization, racism, trauma, and oppression. Working with diverse client populations in various clinical settings has given me a deep understanding of the intricate connection between physical health and mental well-being. My work with marginalized communities, such as BIPOC and Indigenous populations has shaped my practice as a culturally sensitive therapist.
In therapy, I take an integrative and client-centered approach. I utilize modalities such as Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT), Somatic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Care in a culturally sensitive manner. This approach helps clients express their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, empowering them to speak their truth, regain their power, and move forward in their lives.
I provide support to those dealing with ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, loss, divorce, separation, domestic violence, domestic abuse, workplace racism/oppression, and anger management, incorporating both therapeutic techniques and a keen awareness of the physiological aspects of mental health.
I believe in creating a safe, empathetic space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions. By combining my medical knowledge with therapeutic skills, I offer a comprehensive perspective that supports overall well-being.
By approaching your experiences from a strength-based, non-blaming, and non-pathological perspective, we can work together to explore the various aspects of your narrative and how they may have contributed to your current challenges. Throughout our therapeutic journey, we will create a treatment plan that is holistic, practical, culturally sensitive, and based on evidence-based practices.
I would be honored to be the vessel through which you can heal the parts of yourself that have been holding you back from living a fully functioning life.

Some of our clients choose to pay out of pocket rather than use insurance because of the advantages and options private pay opens up to potentially improve their outcomes.
