Welcome!

Carolyn Dallman Downes - Toronto therapist

If you are looking for a therapist, chances are you are going through a rough patch in your life.  You may be feeling depressed or anxious and your confidence is probably not very high.  At a time like this, you need to know if the person you are looking for has the skills and abilities to help.  Just as importantly, you need to get a sense of whether or not you are going to “fit” with the therapist -- if their style and personality is going to be compatible with your own.

To help you figure this out, I have prepared this website to answer many of the questions people ask when they call for their first appointment.

Briefly, I help people of all ages who are coping with:

  • Depression, Anxiety & Grief

  • Marriage and Relationship Issues

  • Childhood or Adult Sexual Abuse

  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

  • Alternative Lifestyles (LGBT Issues)

  • Career and Workplace Issues

  • Intellectual or Artistic Giftedness

Please, read through the rest of my website.  I hope, when you are finished, you will be in a better position to decide if I have the skills and perspectives you need.
