A SAFE AND NURTURING SPACE THAT DELIVERSÂ HOLISTIC AND INTEGRATED APPROACHES TO ENHANCE YOUR MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
​​Hi, I’m Whitney Taman, a Registered Social Worker & Psychotherapist
​
I support adults who are feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, anxious, or disconnected from themselves and others. If you’re carrying the weight of the world, struggling to manage your emotions, or longing for more balance and ease, you don’t have to navigate this alone.
​
I specialize in working with first responders and frontline professionals in high-stress, trauma-exposed roles. When your work requires you to stay strong, composed, and constantly “on,” it can quietly take a toll on your mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. Therapy offers a safe, confidential space to process stress and trauma, restore balance, and reconnect with yourself beyond your role.
​
With over 15 years of experience as a mental health clinician, I understand how powerful it can be to feel truly seen, heard, and understood. I believe people are capable of meaningful change, and that the right support can help that change feel both possible and sustainable.
​
My approach is strength-based, trauma-informed, and compassionate, drawing from evidence-based practices including:
-
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
-
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
-
Brief Solution-Focused Therapy
-
Somatic Experiencing
-
Trauma-Sensitive Yoga
I offer individual psychotherapy, therapeutic yoga programs, and social work services to adults residing in Ontario.
​
Therapy can help you move forward with greater clarity, balance, and self-trust.

Interested? Let's connect to discuss your specific needs and create a yoga program tailored specifically to your goals and physical abilities.
HOW LONG WILL THERAPY LAST?
Therapy lasts as long as you want and need it to. For some people, a few sessions may be enough and others may need more depending on the desired goals. Therapy is an investment of both time and money. Your time and money are valuable, so I try to be as goal oriented as possible in each session.
HOW MUCH DOES THERAPY COST?
Therapy is an investment and I want to ensure you get great value. We can discuss adjusting your appointment frequency to meet your financial needs or extended health benefits coverage. If you only have minimal extended health coverage, remember that even short-term therapy can be beneficial.
​
Payments are accepted by e-transfer at the beginning of each session.
​
Out of respect for each other's time, there is a 24-hour cancellation policy. If you fail to attend your appointment, you will be charged a full session fee.
HOW DO I BOOK AN APPOINTMENT?
You can schedule an appointment through the website, by emailing breathingspacetherapeutics@gmail.com
You will receive an intake form to complete prior to your first appointment.
​
In the first session, we will review confidentiality and begin to discuss the concerns that brought you into therapy. I will listen and ask questions to gain a preliminary understanding of your experiences. We will begin to generate goals that you would like to work toward and achieve throughout the therapy process. Together, we will determine the right frequency of sessions that best suits your needs while progressing toward your goals.
Feel free to contact me with any additional questions.
