Margo Varadi, MSW, RSW

Many people come to therapy hoping to feel better or fix a specific problem. My approach focuses on building greater tolerance for difficult emotions and life challenges, so they feel less overwhelming and less likely to lead to rumination. This helps you build clearer thinking, respond more intentionally, and feel more connected to yourself and to others. In our work together, we explore not only the deeper issues that may be holding you back, but also your strengths, values, and goals. I provide psychoeducation and practical strategies, and we collaborate on a treatment plan tailored to your needs—one that supports coping, growth, and meaningful change. Therapy with me is a safe, collaborative space where feedback is welcome and you are encouraged to express yourself openly. With a background in social work, I take a holistic approach to mental health. We consider how factors such as your history, health, work, relationships, and home life may be impacting your well‑being and use this understanding to guide our work on stress management, emotional regulation, communication, boundaries, and self‑care. I hold a Master of Social Work from the University of Toronto, with specialized training in CBT, DBT, and ACT, and have supported clients across diverse life stages and transitions for the past six years.
