Matteo Scardellato | Registered Psychotherapist in Hamilton Ontario

About Me

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (#15916) and a Graduate Therapist of the Toronto Institute for Relational Psychotherapy. I have been practicing psychotherapy with individuals since 2020.

I worked outside with my hands for twenty years, alongside all kinds of people who shared their stories with me. I also studied at the University of Toronto, until I completed my undergraduate and graduate degrees in literature. When I trained at the Toronto Institute for Relational Psychotherapy, I wove these experiences together.

My main approach is Relational Psychotherapy, which is trauma-informed and incorporates elements of attachment theory, mindfulness, neuroscience, intersubjectivity and self-psychology.

Another approach that is central to my work is Narrative Psychotherapy: I have always been interested in the stories we humans tell to make sense of our often confusing and (increasingly) overwhelming world.

I think the most important thing about starting therapy is finding the right therapist, whatever that means for you. If you’d like to know more about how I practice, you can contact me here to book a no-charge Initial Consultation.
