About Me
About
Hello, I’m Pamela Gilbert and I’m a Registered Psychotherapist in midtown Toronto. I have a unique and multi-dimensional background that informs my integrative approach to therapy. My life experience, career background and therapeutic training come together in the work I do with my clients.
Who I Work With
My clients are millennials, creatives and artists, students, professionals, and individuals exploring therapy for personal growth. My practice is diverse in age, gender expression, race, and cultural background.
A window into my story
10 years ago, my teenage son took his first steps to recover from a mental health and addiction crisis. To find support for him, I consulted with doctors, therapists, addiction counsellors and treatment centers. With my family, I embraced support groups, family programs, and did all I could to surround my son on his journey. It was the catalyst and inspiration to change my career. I went back to school for the first time in 2014. Thankfully, my son is doing well.
