I have been working with Naomi for nearly a decade, and it’s hard to put into words the depth of gratitude I feel for her and the impact she’s had on my life. Naomi has been a steady, compassionate, and unwavering presence through some of the most defining moments of my journey — from the complexities of my marriage to the births of my children, and now as I navigate the painful and transformative process of divorce. What sets Naomi apart is not just her skill as a therapist, but her remarkable ability to hold space with both tenderness and strength. I have never once felt judged — only seen, heard, and gently guided. Over these years, she has helped me untangle layers of shame, build resilience, and find clarity in moments when I felt completely lost. Therapy with Naomi doesn’t feel clinical; it feels human. Real. Honest. There is safety in her presence that allows for raw truth and deep healing. I truly don’t know where I would be without her. If you are looking for someone who will walk beside you through life’s most joyful and most painful seasons with empathy, integrity, and wisdom, Naomi is that person. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

I’ve been with Naomi for nearly 10 years and I give her credit for not only saving my life but helping me co-create the life I’ve always desired. Compassionate, supportive & firm, her expertise and experimental approach to therapy makes her the best of the best. It is so obvious she is passionate about the well being of others. Seeing Naomi will be one of the best decisions you ever make. Take it from someone ten years down the line of a painful journey of trauma, generational baggage, race and grief - you will not be disappointed - you will be cared for, admired and finally, loved. Just loved. Take the plunge!

It's genuinely hard to encapsulate the profound and transformative impact Naomi Barns at Ontario Therapy has had on my life over the past eight-plus years. She is, without a doubt, an exceptional psychotherapist, and I honestly don't know where my mental health would be today without her unwavering support and expert guidance. From our very first sessions, Naomi created an incredibly safe, non-judgmental, and deeply empathetic space. This was crucial for me, as I came to therapy carrying the heavy weight of childhood traumas that had shaped so much of my life. She approached these sensitive areas with immense care, respect, and a nuanced understanding, allowing me to finally begin the difficult but necessary work of healing without feeling overwhelmed or re-traumatized. Her ability to navigate these complex layers of my past has been nothing short of remarkable. Naomi is also incredibly skilled in practical approaches. She effectively utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), providing me with tangible tools and strategies that have empowered me to challenge negative thought patterns, manage overwhelming anxiety, and cope with life's significant stressors. This blend of deep emotional processing and practical skill-building has been incredibly effective. What truly sets Naomi apart is her unwavering respect for people's beliefs and her consistently non-judgmental approach. Regardless of the issue I've brought to her, no matter how sensitive or personal, I have always felt completely accepted and understood. This foundation of trust has allowed me to explore every facet of my struggles and triumphs honestly, knowing I am in a space of absolute acceptance. Her consistent compassion, insightful guidance, and genuine commitment to my well-being have made an immeasurable difference. Naomi is more than just a therapist; she is a guiding force, a compassionate confidante, and a true partner in my journey toward healing and growth. If you are seeking a psychotherapist who possesses deep expertise, profound empathy, and an unparalleled ability to facilitate lasting, positive change, I wholeheartedly recommend Naomi Barns. My gratitude for her enduring support is immense, and she has truly transformed my life.
