Mio Yokoi, Psychotherapist

Perhaps the first question to address is:
What is Psychotherapy?

Wikipedia defines psychotherapy as...
"An intentional interpersonal relationship used by trained psychotherapists to aid in challenges of life.

It aims to increase the individual's sense of their own well-being. Psychotherapists employ a range of techniques based on experiential relationship building, dialogue, communication and behaviour change and that are designed to improve emotional and mental well-being."

Psychotherapy is not the same as psychiatry, which is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treatment of mental disorders.

I am a psychotherapist based in Toronto offering affordable and low cost therapy, currently training in relational psychotherapy with the Toronto Institute for Relational Psychotherapy (TIRP).

As a TIRP student therapist, I am enrolled in the intensive training program and I am a member of the Canadian Association for Psychodynamic Therapy.

As part of the training process, student therapists are required to complete a minimum number of client therapy hours under the supervision of faculty members, all of whom are experienced and established therapists.

Student therapists are required to follow the code and conducts of the Toronto Institute of Relational Psychotherapy as noted on the TIRP website: All therapy sessions are conducted according to the Institute's standards of professional ethics, which include confidentiality and appropriate supervision.

Psychotherapy with a student therapist is an affordable and accessible therapy option. I offer a free 50-minute therapy consultation session* and my office is located in downtown Toronto.

  • What Are the Benefits of Psychotherapy?

    Participating in psychotherapy offers a number of benefits.

    It is helpful to have somebody who understands you in a relationship based in mutuality.

    Therapy may give you a fresh perspective on a difficult problem and direct you towards a solution.

    In addition, many clients may say that the benefits of psychotherapy include:

    * Being able to understand yourself and your personal goals and values better.

    * Developing skills for improving relationships.

    * Helping you overcome certain problems, such as low self esteem or anxiety.

    * Obtaining a solution to the problems or concerns that made you seek therapy.
