Counselling that doesn't just hold space — it helps you move. Through anxiety, grief, trauma, and whatever life's thrown at you.
I'm Rodney Pinto, a Registered Psychotherapist who grew up in Peterborough, Ontario. For more than 15 years I've sat with people through anxiety, grief, trauma, and the quiet weight of life's transitions. My approach is warm, honest, and grounded in genuine collaboration — I'll engage with you directly, help you see things clearly, and work with you toward real, meaningful change. Therapy should feel like a partnership that moves you forward, not a prescription you passively receive.
I hold a B.Sc. from Trent University and a Master's from McGill University, where I trained at a psychiatric hospital in Montreal. As someone of South Asian background, I bring particular care to questions of culture, identity, and belonging — and to creating a space where every part of you is welcome.
Outside the session, you'll find me deeply involved in the Kawarthas community through fundraisers, cultural committees, and local events — or working out, learning Bollywood dance, and travelling somewhere new.
Whatever brings you here, you don't have to have it figured out first. These are some of the areas I support — often, they overlap.
I draw on proven, evidence-based approaches — and translate them into tools you can actually use between sessions.
Your identity, culture, and lived experience belong in the room. I bring genuine curiosity and care to all of it.
Purposeful, not rushed. We move at a pace that keeps you safe and making progress — checking in, adjusting, and always working toward your goals.
Sessions are held virtually, so you can meet from wherever you feel most comfortable. A receipt is provided for those with extended health benefits that cover a Registered Psychotherapist.
50–60 minute virtual session, one-to-one.
Reach out whenever you're ready. Send a note about what's bringing you here, and I'll follow up to find a time that works.
