At First-Step Psychotherapy Clinic, I understand that taking the first step is crucial to your healing journey. My practice is built on the foundation of a solid therapeutic alliance, recognizing that the relationship between therapist and client is the cornerstone of effective therapy.

My practice offers an eclectic range of services, integrating therapeutic modalities such as existential therapy, narrative therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), and trauma-focused therapy. This approach allows me to provide personalized support tailored to your unique needs. I am dedicated to offering a safe and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a collaborative and trusting environment.

I am committed to helping you find meaning, rewrite your story, challenge negative thought patterns, and heal from past traumas. Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, I am here to guide you every step of the way.

Remember, the first step is not just a step, it is your first step to healing. It's a powerful act of self-care and empowerment that sets your healing journey in motion.

M. Luisa Amenta, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

As a registered psychotherapist (qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), I am dedicated to providing compassionate, nonjudgmental care in a safe and supportive environment where true healing and growth can occur. My approach combines evidence-based practices with the belief in nature’s inherent power to promote well-being and resilience.

If you are experiencing a decrease in energy, sleeplessness, anxiety, or depression, we can work together to uncover your strengths, address underlying concerns, and restore balance in your life. I offer a safe space where you can explore deeper self-awareness, gain insight into the reasons behind your behaviors and emotions, and begin the journey toward lasting change.

Whether you are seeking to understand your patterns of behavior or struggling with life’s challenges, I am here to guide you in achieving your personal and therapeutic goals. My role is to support you in uncovering your potential and building the necessary tools to foster meaningful transformation.

Let’s take the first step together toward your healing and well-being.
