Mary Mikhail

There’s usually a moment before someone reaches out — when the exhaustion of holding everything together quietly becomes too much to carry alone. Mary Mikhail, a Registered Social Worker offering virtual psychotherapy across Ontario, works with people in exactly that place: adults and young adults who may appear composed on the outside while navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, emotional dysregulation, or the slow weight of low self-worth. For those whose work follows them home on their phone — where a notification at 10 p.m. can unravel an evening — Mary offers a space to finally set that weight down.

Her approach is integrative and trauma-informed, drawing on DBT, IFS, ACT, CBT, and mindfulness practices, as well as trauma-focused modalities including Cognitive Processing Therapy, DBT-PTSD, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. Rather than applying a fixed method, she tailors care to each person’s goals and pace, working collaboratively and without judgment to help clients reconnect with their own capacity for change.

Mary believes the relationship between therapist and client is itself part of the healing process — one built on genuine attunement, curiosity, and respect for each person’s lived experience. A free 15-minute consultation is available for those considering whether therapy might be the right next step.
