Portrait of Mihaela Poca, Registered Psychotherapist

Online Therapy  – IFS,  EMDR, Mindfulness, Somatic and Relational Psychotherapy 

I am a Registered Psychotherapist offering online therapy for adults. Therapy is a collaborative and transformative process that supports self-awareness, healing, and personal growth.

Who I work with

I work with adults navigating relationship dynamics around marriage, trust, commitment and communication. Sometimes that is a pattern between two people that neither of them can quite name. Sometimes it is one person trying to understand their own part in it, and what they want to do differently.

I also work with parents who find themselves in new and challenging family dynamics. Family life changes shape as children grow, and the way of relating that worked before often has to be rebuilt rather than repeated.

I support people moving through loss and grief, through life transitions, and through creative crossroads where the next step is not yet clear. This work often touches low self-esteem, anxiety and emotional overwhelm, which tend to arrive together rather than one at a time.

I work especially well with sensitive, thoughtful and creative people who want to understand themselves and their relationships more deeply. If you notice a great deal, feel things strongly, and have spent years trying to make sense of your own experience, therapy can be a place to do that with company rather than alone.

Together, we can explore the patterns that may be getting in the way of trust, safety, connection and self-worth. That means understanding where those patterns came from and what they were protecting, rather than trying to remove them quickly. I do not offer advice or quick fixes. I offer a steady, attentive space in which what matters to you can become clearer.

If this sounds like the work you are looking for, a free 15-minute consultation is available.

In our sessions, you are invited to share whatever feels most pressing for you. I listen with care and intention, striving to remain attuned while creating a safe, supportive space. Rather than offering advice or quick fixes, I support you in exploring and uncovering what you truly need — even when those needs feel hidden beneath fear, guilt, or shame.

Therapy is a space where different parts of yourself and your personal history can emerge and be met with compassionate curiosity. This process requires courage and trust, and my goal is to foster an environment where both can grow and flourish.

New clients are welcome, and a free 15-minute consultation is available. If you feel ready to take the next step toward healing, I invite you to book your session online.

 

If you long to feel understood, valued, and supported, and if you’re looking for a compassionate, engaged, and non-judgmental therapist, I encourage you to reach out.

Life’s practical complexities and emotional challenges can be overwhelming. It’s difficult to navigate intense feelings alone, especially when friends and family may have their own struggles. It can feel isolating when there’s no one to truly listen or help you process what you’re going through.

I offer effective support during times of stress, uncertainty, and emotional struggle, helping you care for yourself so you can begin to feel better. If you’re experiencing overwhelm, confusion, anxiety, sadness, or loneliness, I am here to listen. I understand how challenging it can be to sit with these feelings, and you don’t have to do it alone.

How Therapy Can Help

Through the therapeutic process, we will:

• Make sense of your emotions so you feel more grounded.

• Improve emotional regulation and mental clarity.

• Understand the narratives that shape your experiences.

• Empower you to make choices that lead to greater fulfillment and connection.

Each person processes their environment in a unique way. You are the expert on your own life. Together, we will explore the difficulties that weigh you down and find a way forward.

Right now, the world is filled with uncertainty and change. As your therapist, I will provide a steady, grounded presence, supporting your healing process as we tend to the areas of your life that need care and attention.

I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness, Relational Therapy, and Somatic Awareness techniques, ensuring a holistic, tailored approach to your needs.

My work is informed by the philosophies of Buddhist practice. I help clients cultivate compassion and acceptance for oneself and others, and I believe that from this place we can be more clear and see a way to take steps towards the life you want.

I integrate work with mind, emotions, energy, and body posture to support a state of balance and well-being. My practice is grounded in a trauma-informed, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive framework.


I am a Registered Psychotherapist and a member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), as well as the Canadian Association of Psychodynamic Therapy (CAPT). I completed my training at the Toronto Institute for Relational Psychotherapy (TIRP), a recognized educational program accredited by the CRPO.

To ensure consistent quality of care, I engage in regular and confidential supervision with an advanced clinician.
