About
Joanna's Open Door Therapy
Joanna's Open Door Therapy began in 2024 as a small virtual clinic providing psychotherapy to individuals with the belief that all people are worthy of compassion, equality, and access to quality healthcare.
It is this compassion that creates an inclusive, judgment-free space for healing, and offers an authentic therapeutic relationship.
Evidence-based and research-backed approaches are used, and treatment plans are individualized and co-created with clients.
Joanna is trained in a variety of modalities, such as CBT, DBT, EFIT, SFBT, narrative, and IFS. Two listening therapies "Safe and Sound Protocol" and "Rest and Restore Protocol" by Unyte Health are somatic approaches as trauma lives in the body. This variety of modalities means more options for you to chose from for your healing journey so you always have choice and feel comfortable.
You are welcome here at JODT!
About
Joanna
Joanna lives on the outskirts of Toronto with her devoted husband, two adopted boys and her St. Berdoodle (St. Bernard x Poodle) dog. She loves a good joke, the Blue Jays, Minecraft, babies, walks in nature, puppies, and spending time with family and friends.
Her passion for psychotherapy came from her lived experience with pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), generational trauma, and her adopted son's developmental trauma. These areas of mental health have become the driving force behind JODT's heart and "raison d'etre". Love and truth are the healing balm she endeavours to bring to therapy.
