You're Holding It Together. But You're Exhausted.
If your mind won’t stop spinning — replaying worries, second-guessing every decision, or getting caught in loops you can’t seem to escape — you’re not broken. You’re just stuck. I help adults in Mississauga and across Ontario break free from anxiety and OCD using evidence-based approaches that go beyond just “managing symptoms.” Together, we’ll build a life that actually feels like yours.
Serving clients in Mississauga (in-person) and across Ontario (virtual). Now accepting new clients.

Does any of this sound familiar?
Your mind replays worst-case scenarios on a loop, even when you know they’re unlikely
You spend hours seeking reassurance — from others, or from yourself — but the relief never lasts
Intrusive thoughts show up uninvited and feel impossible to shake
You avoid situations, people, or decisions because the anxiety just isn’t worth it
You feel exhausted from trying to think your way out of something that thinking keeps making worse
You’ve tried to “just relax” or “think positive” — and it hasn’t worked
You don’t have to keep white-knuckling it. There’s a better way — and it’s backed by research.
Start living the best version of yourself
My name is Terence To MSW, RSW — Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist and founder of Flowing Mind Therapy. I specialize in anxiety and OCD because I know how exhausting it is to live inside a mind that won’t give you a break.
My approach is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) — not to help you suppress what you’re feeling, but to help you stop letting it run the show. Clients I work with don’t just feel better in the short term; they develop a genuine understanding of themselves and the tools to keep moving forward.
I offer in-person sessions in Mississauga and virtual sessions across Ontario. If you’re ready to stop surviving and start building, I’d love to connect.
How It Works
Step 1 — Free Consultation (15 min)
We’ll have a brief, no-pressure call so you can share what’s been going on and ask any questions. I’ll let you know if I think I can help, and we’ll figure out if we’re a good fit — no commitment required.

Step 2 — Your Personalized Plan
If we decide to move forward, your first session is about understanding you — your history, your patterns, and what you actually want your life to look like. From there, we build a treatment approach tailored to you, not a generic script.
Step 3 — Start Making Real Progress
Session by session, you’ll develop practical tools grounded in ACT and CBT that work in real life — not just in a therapist’s office. Most clients start noticing a shift within the first few sessions.
Anxiety rarely travels alone. If any of the following sounds familiar, I can help with those too.
-
Pornography Addiction
Caught in a cycle of use, guilt, and failed attempts to stop? You’re not weak — you’re stuck in a pattern that has real psychological roots. Therapy can help you understand what’s driving it and build a life that reflects your actual values.
-
Relationship Challenges
Recurring arguments. Feeling unseen or misunderstood. Not knowing how to say what you actually mean. Individual relationship therapy helps you understand your own patterns — so you can show up differently in the relationships that matter most.
-
Depression
Depression doesn’t always look like sadness. Sometimes it’s numbness, exhaustion, or a quiet sense that life has lost its colour. If you’ve been going through the motions but not really living, therapy can help you reconnect with what matters.
-
Anxiety
You know the thoughts probably aren’t rational — but that doesn’t make them stop. The overthinking, the dread, the constant bracing for something to go wrong. Learn how to break the cycle and actually feel at ease again.
-
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Intrusive thoughts. Checking. Reassurance-seeking. The temporary relief that never lasts. OCD keeps you trapped in loops — and willpower alone won’t break them. Learn how ERP and ACT can help you reclaim your life from OCD.
Ready to stop avoiding discomfort?
You don't have to keep white-knuckling through anxious days. Therapy is a place to slow down, get clarity, and build skills that actually work in real life.
I offer a free 20-minute consultation so you can ask questions and see if we're a good fit — no pressure, no commitment.
