Tala Barrage, MA, RP

Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology
Registered Psychotherapist 

My approach to therapy is an integrative, holistic and client-centered one, focused on meeting you where you are as a unique individual with your own unique needs. I am committed to helping you maximize your potential to live a more purposeful, passionate, connected and fulfilling life. I believe in creating strong therapeutic alliances by approaching you with compassion and respect to help you attain the well-being you deserve.

I completed my Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University in Fredericton, New Brunswick and am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I am also a professional member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association, the Institute of Rapid Resolution Therapy, Somatic Experiencing International, and Yoga Alliance.

My previous career in human resource and financial consulting helped me in understanding the impact that stress, demotivation, a lack of genuine human connection, and a disconnection from a higher purpose can have on a person’s overall well-being. Complemented by my yoga teacher training, this awareness led to an appreciation for the intimate relationship between physical and mental health and drives my approach when working with clients.

I enjoy taking long walks in nature and baking with my children. I also love to see the world and have been exposed to diverse cultures and ways of life. While living abroad for more than a decade, I travelled considerably across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. These invaluable experiences have provided me with the ability to create greater understanding of and  forge relationships with people with diverse ways of viewing the world.
