Tonya Castle

When people finally pick up the phone or open a new browser tab to look for help, Tonya Castle wants them to feel like they’ve landed somewhere steady. Whether the turning point is a relationship stretched past its limits, anxiety that won’t quiet down, a pattern of reaching for alcohol or a gambling app or an hours-long scroll that’s starting to look a lot like the same old escape route, or a workplace that has simply wrung someone dry — she meets people at exactly that point of recognition.

A Registered Psychotherapist and Accredited Music Therapist based in Milton, Ontario, Tonya works with individuals, couples, families, and groups across a broad range of concerns: mood and anxiety disorders, trauma and abuse recovery, addiction, compassion fatigue, and relationship challenges, among others. Her clinical background spans psychiatric settings, community mental health, and geriatric care, and she draws on that range to fit her approach to the person in front of her rather than the other way around.

Tonya’s work is grounded in a strengths-based, solution-focused philosophy — the belief that clients already hold real capacity for change and that the therapist’s role is to help surface it. Sessions are available online, and she serves children through to older adults.
