Therapy that fits your life.
Yael Shoham
Your values. Your pace. Your therapy.
No judgment, no one-size-fits-all. Just real strategies and support, tailored to you. Whether you need comfort, accountability, or both, we’ll build your path together.
My Specialties
Every journey is unique. I’m well-equipped to support you in these areas.
Mental Health Support
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or burnout, I focus on practical strategies while offering emotional support. Sometimes that means compassion and comfort; sometimes it means accountability and tools. We’ll figure out what you need, and adjust as we go.
LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy
Exploring who you are shouldn’t mean carrying the weight of others’ expectations. Whether navigating family or societal pressures, processing trauma, exploring your gender or sexuality, or beginning transition, therpay is the space to discover and define yourself. No need to explain the basics. I have the background to focus on what matters to you.
Non-Monogamy and Kink Affirming
Relationships and identities outside the “norm” can be deeply fulfilling, but also misunderstood. Together, we can work on communication, boundaries, managing jealousy, or integrating kink into healing. This is also a space to unpack the impact of stigma and build a life that reflects your values unapologetically. Whether you need normalization, strategies, or both, therapy adapts to you.
about Yael
My goal is to provide therapy that feels practical, supportive, and even hopeful. Growth doesn’t need to feel impossible.
Compassionate & Direct
Warmth when you need it, straight talk when that’s more helpful.
LGBTQ+ & Kink Affirming
Therapy that embraces your identities without judgment or explanation.
Practical & Adaptive
Strategies and support tailored to your goals, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
I became a therapist because I care deeply about helping people feel less alone while navigating life’s complications. For many, that means working through anxiety, depression, trauma, or the challenge of living authentically in a world that pressures us to fit a mold.
I practice in Toronto, offering therapy that adapts to you. Some clients need compassion and validation, while others want accountability and clear strategies. My role is to help you identify what will move you forward, and help you get there at your own pace.
I specialize in supporting the LGBTQ+ and non-monogamy/kink communities. Whether you’re exploring identity, navigating relationships, or healing from stigma, I provide a kink-aware, affirming space where you don’t have to explain your culture or identity before we begin.
Clients describe me as knowledgeable, approachable, and real — someone who can hold hope while also being direct when needed. If you’re looking for a Toronto-based therapist who respects your lived experiences and works with you toward meaningful change, I may be a good fit.
