Annina Schmid, Registered Psychotherapist

Psychodynamic & Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in Toronto

I offer individual psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy for adults in Toronto, with sessions held primarily in person near Yonge and St. Clair.

My work is suited to people who want to understand themselves more deeply, including recurring emotional, relational, and behavioural patterns that may not have shifted through insight or short-term strategies alone. Therapy may involve exploring anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, avoidance, substance use, life transitions, or a persistent sense of feeling stuck.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with a Diploma in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and ongoing training in psychoanalysis at the Toronto Institute of Psychoanalysis. My approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and attentive to both present-day difficulties and the underlying patterns that shape them.

Psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy can be undertaken once or more than once per week. Meeting two to four times weekly provides greater continuity and depth and allows the therapeutic work to develop more fully.

Sessions are 45 minutes. In-person psychotherapy is generally recommended, though online appointments may be available when appropriate.

If you are considering psychotherapy and would like to explore whether working together may be a good fit, you are welcome to get in touch.
