Wayne Dewhurst, Registered Psychotherapist

Finding the right therapist can take time. If you’ve been searching for a while, you may feel overwhelmed, stuck, frustrated, or unsure where to turn next. If you’ve made it this far, you may have found the right place. Whether you’re facing relationship conflict, sex addiction, betrayal, intimacy or boundary issues in your relationships, or another personal challenge, you don’t need to have everything figured out before we begin. With more than 20 years of counselling experience as a Psychotherapist in Ontario, I take a warm, practical, and non-judgmental approach. I’ll take the time to understand what you’re experiencing, help you recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and work with you to develop practical ways forward. Depending on your needs, our work may include structured exercises, new ways of communicating, and strategies you can practice between sessions. My goal is to help you work through what brought you to therapy while developing greater insight and tools for lasting change.

I’m part of the team at Peter Stathakos & Associates, a Toronto-based psychotherapy practice supporting couples through some of life’s most difficult and personal challenges. Our team brings together therapists with different backgrounds, experiences, and areas of focus. This allows us to consider each client’s needs and circumstances when determining what kind of support may be most helpful. We offer individual, couples, and family therapy, with support for concerns including relationship difficulties, betrayal and infidelity, addiction, compulsive sexual behaviour, trauma, anxiety, depression, communication challenges, and major life transitions. We understand that finding a therapist who feels like the right fit can take time. If you’ve been looking for a while, our team can help you explore different options within the practice and find an approach that feels comfortable and appropriate for where you are right now.
