Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

My name is Antoinette Burrell and I'm a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) based in Whitby, Ontario, and the practice owner of GardenView Therapy. I specialize in supporting people of colour who are navigating burnout, anxiety, depression, and self-doubt.

As a Jamaican-born woman of colour raised in Canada, I know what it feels like to not fit in, to be misunderstood, and to experience cultural misalignment at work and in social settings. I've experienced the quiet struggle of pressing on while life was draining my energy. I was longing to do more meaningful work.

In my late 40’s, I made the bold decision to start over, pursuing my Master's degree in Counselling Psychology and becoming a Psychotherapist. That pivot changed everything, and it's the lived experience I bring into every session.

Whether you're facing a toxic work environment, struggling with self-doubt, or trying to find peace in spaces that feel awkward, I understand the struggle.

I get you, and I’ve got you!

Working With Me

Psychotherapy can be a transformative and refreshing experience! I work in a collaborative, honest, and down-to-earth way. Sessions can bring clarity and comfort and a fresh perspective on your lived experiences. It's a time for you to share feelings and goals and make plans for brighter days ahead. 

I draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Culturally-Sensitive approaches. No single framework fits every person. We'll tailor a unique approach that is made just for you.
