Justin Appler
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about how to move forward in life, you’re not alone. Whether it’s navigating a difficult transition, dealing with grief, or managing the weight of anxiety or depression, I’m here to help you find clarity and healing — at your own pace.
A Safe, Supportive Space Just for You
My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that each person holds the wisdom and strength needed to heal. My role is to walk alongside you with empathy and understanding, creating a space where you feel truly seen and heard. I work with you, not just for you, helping you tap into your own resources to create the life you want.
How I Work
I use an integrative approach that combines mindfulness, somatic techniques, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. Together, these methods help you reconnect with your inner self, explore your emotions, and find alignment with your core values. The therapy space we build will be one where you feel safe enough to uncover the healing potential that’s already inside you.
Experience You Can Trust
I bring years of experience in both hospital and community settings, having worked with individuals, couples, and families facing life’s toughest challenges. From supporting patients through health crises at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and Toronto General Hospital, to offering spiritual care and emotional support as a chaplain at SickKids, my work has taught me how to be fully present with people during their most difficult times.
Credentials: Master’s Degree Candidate in Psychospiritual Studies, Emmanuel College, University of Toronto.
What You Can Expect
Through our work together, you will gain emotional resilience and the tools you need to navigate life’s uncertainties with more peace and confidence. Therapy is about more than just managing symptoms; it’s about discovering who you truly are and learning how to live in a way that feels authentic and fulfilling. As you heal, you’ll also experience improvements in your relationships, becoming more compassionate, connected, and self-aware.
Areas of Focus
I specialize in working with grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I also have experience supporting people with issues related to spirituality, death and dying, health complications, and LGBTQ2A matters. Whatever challenges you’re facing, I am here to help you move through them with compassion and support.
If you’re ready to explore your inner world and start building a path toward healing, I’d be honoured to be your guide. Let’s work together to create the life you deserve.
