About Tala


Tala El-Achkar | TAL-ah ehl-ash-KAHR


As an approved clinical supervisor and practicum site, I offer a well-rounded training experience for those aspiring to build a private practice. With a psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and body-oriented approach, I provide comprehensive individual, dyadic, and group supervision, and the benefit of seeing clients virtually or in person at our downtown Toronto clinic. I also equip students with the tools to thrive in their business practices, through guidance on third-party profile optimization, scheduling software, and general practice management.

In my work as an integrative psychotherapist, I am passionate about client-centered and anti-oppressive care, especially for individuals navigating the complexities of diaspora, identity, ambiguous loss, and intergenerational trauma. I pay close attention to how early life influences current functioning, and see relationships as essential to healing.

My academic history, Lebanese-Palestinian roots, and diasporic experience inform my attention to the systemic, intergenerational, and collective. I’m here to center your story and your needs at your pace. If you’d like to get a feel for whether I’m a good fit for you, please reach out for a free client consultation, or to book a student interview.

Online or in-person, this is designated for individuals to process and explore their thoughts. Typically, meetings are weekly or bi-weekly.
