Nicole Addario, MA, RP (Qualifying)

Psychotherapist

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming and scary. You might feel unsure of where to begin or vulnerable in sharing your challenges. Nicole Addario takes a holistic, individualized approach to ensure your therapy is tailored to you. She strives to create a safe, empathetic space where you feel heard, respected, and free to be your authentic self.

Nicole is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. She has worked with clients from diverse backgrounds, and has additional research experience at CAMH, studying youth mental health and parent-child relationships. Additionally, as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, she understands the complexities of mental health, relationships, and identity firsthand.

If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, self-worth, trauma, or stress, Nicole is here to support you. She works with individuals (ages 13+) facing a wide range of challenges, including everyday stressors and burnout, family or relationship difficulties, depression and anxiety, transgenerational trauma, identity exploration, and general personal growth. Nicole welcomes clients from all backgrounds and strives to create an inclusive, affirming space where you feel seen and heard.

Nicole uses an integrative approach to therapy, combining Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Gestalt, Schema Therapy, DBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and trauma-informed modalities. Each session is tailored to meet your needs, helping you build self-awareness, regulate emotions, and create lasting change.

Outside of therapy, Nicole has a passion for music. She holds a minor in music and has played piano, electric bass, and upright bass for over ten years—despite the upright bass being nearly twice her size.

Taking the first step toward therapy is an important act of self-care. If you’re ready to explore what’s holding you back and create a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling, Nicole is here to support you.
