Angela Larmer provides evidence-based mental health services to individuals across Ontario, offering psychotherapy within a trauma-informed, grief-informed, client-centered framework, supporting a range of concerns including post-traumatic stress, trauma related symptoms, grief, loss and life transitions, phobias and work related stress. She is passionate about helping first responders and veterans.
I am a trauma-informed, culturally responsive psychotherapist and registered nurse with over 25 years' experience in supporting individuals in a holistic person centered way. I believe that people heal by looking at ‘what has happened’ to them and not with a lens of ‘what is wrong’ with them.
Together we will explore how your past is present in your daily behaviours, thoughts and beliefs. I integrate therapy with a wide range of approaches that focus on stabilization and safety, working through and processing acute and complex trauma symptoms, emotions and memories so that you can live a life that feels more connected and joyful.

Psychotherapy is a collaborative process that supports individuals in understanding and navigating emotional, psychological, and relational challenges. As a Master's-level trained psychotherapist and Registered Nurse (RN), I approach this work with a strong foundation in both mental health theory and clinical practice, integrating medical knowledge with therapeutic modalities to support the whole person. Psychotherapy provides a safe, confidential space to explore thoughts, emotions, patterns, and past experiences that may be impacting current wellbeing. Using evidence-based approaches, I tailor each session to meet the unique needs and goals of the client, helping to foster insight, resilience, and meaningful change.

Through my accreditation with the Psychotherapy Matters Virtual Clinic, I am able to offer clients enhanced access to comprehensive mental health care. This unique platform allows for direct collaboration with psychiatrists and primary care providers when appropriate, ensuring that care is coordinated and timely—especially important given the long wait times for psychiatric support in many communities. By working within this virtual model, I can help streamline the referral process and offer continuity of care, all while continuing to provide in-depth psychotherapy that is grounded in clinical training and a holistic understanding of mental health.

Psychologist-supervised psychotherapy is a collaborative model in which a Registered Psychotherapist or Social Service Worker provides therapy under the clinical supervision of a licensed psychologist. This structure ensures that the therapeutic work is continually supported by advanced oversight, allowing for ongoing consultation, case review, and integration of best practices. It enhances the quality of care through the lens of psychological expertise while maintaining the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist. This approach supports ethical, effective, and evidence-based treatment within a structured and professional framework.

Grief therapy offers a supportive space—either individually or in a group setting—to navigate the emotional, physical, and spiritual responses to loss. It recognizes that grief is not something to be fixed, but something to be witnessed and integrated. This approach honours each person’s unique experience and timeline, while helping them find meaning, connection, and the capacity to carry their grief alongside everyday life.
Angela provides a wide range of therapeutic
modalities to meet the unique needs of each client.
