Lauren A. Jeffery, RP, MA CEA, CTDP
Registered psychotherapist
When money and mental health collide, most therapists only address one side.
I'm a Registered Psychotherapist and Certified Estate Advisor with 25 years in wealth management. I work at the intersection of both, supporting adults navigating financial anxiety, life transitions, and addiction recovery. In-person in Toronto and online across Ontario.
Life challenges show up in more places than one.
- Financial stress is taking up too much mental space and avoidance is making it worse
- A major life transition has left you questioning who you are and what comes next
- Addiction or chronic relapse is affecting your relationships, finances, and sense of self
- You're high-achieving on the outside and quietly struggling on the inside
- Wealth hasn't brought the peace you expected and you're not sure who to tell
A collaborative approach you control
I offer a warm, non-judgmental space to explore what's happening beneath the surface, including the financial pressures that rarely get addressed in a therapy room. Sessions are collaborative, evidence-informed, and built around your goals, pace, and life.
CBT • Solution-Focused • Choice Theory/Reality Therapy • Financial Therapy • Mindfulness • Creative tools
What we work toward together
- Moving from overwhelm to steadiness under pressure
- Replacing avoidance with clarity and practical next steps
- Understanding your relationship with money, not just managing it
- Building boundaries and healthier coping strategies
- Reconnecting with a sense of direction after a major transition
Common reasons adults reach out
Grief
estate planning
addiction/substance use
Life transitions
Self-esteem
Financial Therapy
Financial stress is emotional stress.
If money has become a source of pressure, shame, avoidance, or conflict, we can work with it directly. As a Registered Psychotherapist and Certified Estate Advisor, I bring something most therapists don't: the clinical training to address the emotional side of money and the financial expertise to help you understand what's actually at risk. Together, we explore your relationship with money and build values-based steps toward greater confidence and stability.
