David Rockman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW RSW BA psych hon
In uncertain times, it is common to feel overwhelmed by difficulties and feel stuck in a cycle of challenges in the 6 general arenas of human experience: habituated repertoire of thoughts, emotions, soma, behaviours, situations, and environment. Many of the problems we experience are not our fault, but they can still have a significant impact on our mental health and well-being. As a psychotherapist with 27 years of experience in Toronto, I have helped countless individuals effectively and quickly resolve a variety of issues, including self-other relationship stressors, trauma from sexual abuse, emotional regulation, feelings of betrayal and abandonment, social anxiety, self-blame, self-esteem issues, motivation problems, and mis-transits of anger, shame and grief.

New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
We are a team of Registered Psychotherapists and Social Workers who specialize in supporting individuals through effective and research backed trauma, relationship, and sex therapy.
We began as a trauma focused clinic - our team has a solid understanding of the countless small and large ways that trauma impacts us. We work with traumatic stress and related difficulties such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD and complexPTSD), addiction, self-harm, and suicide ideation. We support survivors of sexual violence as well as those who have experienced emotional and physical abuse, criminal victimization, bullying, war, and near death experiences.
We've found that as people heal, relationships and intimacy naturally becomes a secondary focus. For this reason we offer family, couples, and sex therapy. We support individuals of all gender and sexual identities and relationship structures.
We respect diversity and differences in opinions, values and attitudes. This is reflected through individualized treatment plans which consider each individuals lived and generational experiences. We strive to provide culturally-sensitive, non-discriminatory, and affirming care to culturally diverse populations and BIPOC, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, kink and polyamorous communities.
Our goal is to help you break free from your past and rediscover a fulfilling life filled with joy and connection.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Personally, I understand what it is like to grow up in a difficult family which resulted in much trauma. As a young adult, I made a series of problematic choices which included abusive relationships, alcohol and drug abuse, and general neglect of myself. I realized that my trauma was not my fault but healing from it, so that I no longer suffered and passed that suffering onto others, was my responsibility. My wellness journey has been long and hard fought, and continues today and will forever more. The work is necessary, as all healing is possible. My hope is to share both my personal and professional knowledge and experiences with others to help guide them on their own journeys towards their own healing.

Brenda Cohen
Registered Psychotherapist, (Qualifying) BA, PsyDipl
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
We’ve all heard the saying, but can we actualize it? Can we find transformation and re-birth within our struggles, anxieties, and suffering? I too have been to the psychological underworld and battled the dragons of uncertainty and strife. I know that therapy can stimulate an exploration of the tasks and obstacles of life. Together, we can lean into adversity as an existential wake-up, calling you to new growth, understanding, and healing.
As we work together, we can:
- Harness your inner strengths and move beyond the challenges that hold you back.
- Heighten your appreciation for life
- Enhance your relationships by fostering better communication and greater connection
- cultivate a spiritual awareness that transforms how you see yourself and the world around you.
In my practice, I help clients understand that within every challenge lies the potential for deeper meaning, and a life filled with more purpose and joy.
By integrating principles from Positive Psychology, Strength Psychology, Jungian thought, and existentialism, I offer a unique approach that emphasizes healing through meaning. Together, we can uncover the paths forward—toward greater fulfillment, clarity, and an enriched sense of connectedness. Are you ready to explore the possibilities? Let's begin this transformative journey together.
