Evidence-based care and genuine human connection sit at the centre of Sara Trought’s practice. A Registered Psychotherapist with over 20 years of clinical experience, Sara works primarily through Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy — approaches she values precisely because they translate into practical, immediate tools rather than abstract concepts. She helps adults, teenagers, and couples navigate anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, addiction, eating disorders, and the disruptions of major life transitions.
What clients describe most often is feeling genuinely understood — and from that foundation, gaining clarity about the patterns that have quietly shaped their choices. Sara notices that many of the struggles people bring into sessions have a way of threading through everyday life: the 2 a.m. loop of anxious thoughts that a phone makes far too easy to feed, the sense that rest is always one more task away. Her sessions are structured yet responsive, and she frequently draws on guided exercises and between-session reflections to carry the work forward between appointments.
Her aim, over time, is for clients to rely less on therapy and more on themselves — leaving with resilience and self-trust they can actually use. Sara offers both in-person and online sessions in Toronto, Ontario.
