Patricia Tuff

Patricia has been working directly with young folks, kids, teens, and families for over 15 years. She works from an anti-oppressive framework and social justice context to build supportive, therapeutic relationships.

Patricia’s approach to working with individuals is all about highlighting and fostering strengths along with areas of success, resiliency, and collaboration in a non-judgemental space. She believes in the power of connection and compassion with yourself, family/chosen family, friends, and communities. Patricia will co-create and cultivate new ways of learning about, thinking about, and moving through challenging moments.

Patricia has extensive experience with complex family conflicts, as well as with assisting people to navigate the impacts of trauma, loss, grief, self-criticism, self-esteem, parenting/caregiving, and self-harming behaviours. She draws from multiple evidence-based modalities, including cognitive-based interventions, Narrative Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Therapy.

People often remark on her warmth, dry sense of humour, and insight. She is also a parent with a rambunctious and adorable child. When she’s not in session, you can find her teaching, soaking up music and art, and biking around the city.

Patricia sees individual children, teens, adults & parents as well as families.

Patricia practises at our Runnymede & Bloor location.
