My name is Larry Borins. I’m a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist based in Toronto, with 20 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and men navigating anxiety, relationship patterns, and emotional burnout.
Many of the people I work with are functioning well on the outside — managing careers, relationships, children, responsibilities, and the expectations placed on them — while internally struggling with anxiety, emotional exhaustion, disconnection, or patterns they can’t seem to break.
Sometimes what’s driving your experience runs deeper — shaped by earlier life experiences that influenced how you learned to cope, connect, and protect yourself. Patterns that once made sense, but are no longer serving you.
Part of therapy may involve finding relief from anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship conflict. But over time, many people also begin to understand the deeper emotional patterns underneath what they’ve been struggling with.
This is the work I find most meaningful — honest, unhurried exploration that helps you recognize the younger parts of yourself that learned to cope the best way they could, and begin responding from a more grounded, compassionate place within yourself.
This isn’t about becoming someone different. It’s about coming back to who you already are.
I draw on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Relational Life Therapy (RLT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) — not as rigid techniques, but as lenses for understanding your emotional world, your relationships, and the patterns and protections that continue shaping your life today.
I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions, as well as couples struggling with conflict, distance, and disconnection. I also have a particular passion for working with men who have spent years feeling pressure to stay strong while carrying difficult emotions on their own.
This is a different kind of space — one where that finally gets to change.
I offer virtual therapy across Ontario and in-person sessions at my Eglinton and Avenue Road location in Toronto.
Most people who reach out aren’t completely sure they’re ready. They just know that what they’ve been doing isn’t working anymore.
That’s enough to begin.
