About Noema Psychotherapy
Noema is a psychotherapy practice in Toronto's west end, near Trinity Bellwoods. We work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship conflict, life transitions, and ADHD — people who have reached a point where they know something needs to change, even if they're not yet sure where to start.
Our name comes from philosophy. Noema refers to the content of thought — what the mind is truly directed toward. We chose it because it points at something we care deeply about: the effort to understand another person's inner world, not just the surface of it. That quality of attention is what we try to bring to every session.
At the heart of this practice is a belief we hold without reservation: people are capable of growth, and that therapy, done well, can help make that possible. We've sat with people in seemingly impossible situations and watched them get unstuck, repair what felt broken, and build lives that feel like their own.
How We Work
We’re not the kind of therapists who sit back, nod, and let you guess what we’re thinking. Our therapists stay deeply curious: What feels meaningful for you right now? What’s not lining up? What’s your body holding that your brain keeps trying to outrun?
Some sessions will be talk-based. Others might include somatic work, grounding, or tuning into the patterns your nervous system has learned over time. As a team, we use evidence-based tools like CBT, mindfulness, relational and attachment-based approaches, and somatic therapies. Each clinician brings their own lens and experience.
Therapy with us is collaborative, authentic, and grounded. We’ll explore patterns together, provide insights and tools, or hold space for the harder moments — always at your pace.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
You can start by reaching out through the contact form. We’ll schedule a free 15-20 minute phone consult so we can talk briefly about what you’re looking for and help you get matched with the right therapist.
-
We’ll start by talking about what’s bringing you in — no need to prepare. We’ll ask some questions, but mostly, it’s about getting to know you and seeing if this feels like a good fit. You can go at your own pace and if you don’t want to talk about something you don’t need to. You can learn more here.
-
Not at all. Some people come in with something specific they want to work on, others might feel somethings off, or they want to explore themselves. Part of our work can be figuring out what matters most to you and where you’d like to go from there.
-
Most people start with weekly 50-minute sessions. We can adjust the frequency depending on your needs, schedule, and goals.
-
Sessions are available via secure video (telehealth), and in-person depending on availability. We aim to create a space that feels safe, grounded, and collaborative — wherever we’re meeting.
-
Therapy can bring up tough stuff, and sometimes it gets a little harder before it gets better. It’s normal to feel a bit vulnerable or unsettled as you explore deep feelings or past experiences. The goal is always to move through that discomfort in a way that feels manageable and supportive. If anything comes up that feels too overwhelming, we’ll slow down, adjust, or find ways to ground you. It’s all about creating space for growth, not pushing you into it too fast.
-
Totally fair. Not all therapy fits all people, and not all therapists are right for you. If something didn’t work for you in the past, we can talk about it — no judgment. Our job is to create a space that actually works for you.
Why “Noēma”?
Noēma (pronounced no-AY-muh) Noema comes from philosophy and refers to the meaning behind an experience—not just what happened, but how we make sense of it.
In therapy, that’s exactly what we do. We explore the “why” behind the patterns, emotions, and beliefs that show up in your life. Not to overanalyze—but to understand. So you can respond with more choice, instead of reacting on autopilot.
Noema is about getting clearer on your inner world, so you can live with more intention in your outer one.
