For Couples
I only see couples, that is all I do. Long ago I decided to specialize in this because learning how to stay calm, connected and curious with each other in relationship brings deep benefits not only to the couple in relationship but also to the individuals in that relationship.
I see people in all sorts of relationship from intimate partnerships to familial dyads to business partners to friends who are struggling.

My name is Ted Leckie and I am a Registered Psychotherapist. My colleagues, clients and friends have at various times described me as empathetic, kind, gentle and insightful.
Personalized Approach
I offer psychotherapy and couples therapy to individuals and couples. I am also available for consultation for therapists learning IFS and IFIO therapy. If you would like to see me individually or with your partner, feel free to contact me at ted.leckie@gmail.com
Expert Guidance
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I am a Certified IFS Therapist, an IFS-I Approved Clinical Consultant and have helped staff over 17 IFS and IFIO trainings.
I have also studied mindfulness, psychology and mental health at the University of Toronto – looking at the mind, consciousness, cognitive science, and health psychology, to understand the contributions of mindfulness to the modern understanding of consciousness, and mental and physical health and illness.
Exceptional Care
My particular interest lies with couples and relationships. My couples training has been with Dick Schwartz and Toni Herbine-Blank (Certified IFS Therapist) and with John Gottman (Level One and Level Two Gottman training) as well with Gail Palmer and Sue Johnson (Emotionally Focused Therapy -EFT- Externship and EFT Core Skills). My family training has been with Gail Palmer (Emotionally Focused Family Therapy).
I adhere to the codes of ethics mandated by the Ontario Society of Registered Psychotherapists, the Canadian Association for Psychodynamic Therapy and the Toronto Institute for Relational Psychotherapy and provide a non-judgemental, accepting, LGBT friendly and safe environment.
Fees
Canadian Fees
When your relationship becomes distant, difficult, or distressed, it can feel like your world is falling apart. In our work together, we find ways to strengthen your relationship, reshaping it into one that feels closer, more reliable, and comforting.
The fee can be paid prior to the session either by PayPal or Wise.com to tleckie@gmail.com.
Cancellations require 48 hours notice or a full fee will be charged.
United States and International Fees
If you are located in the US or internationally the fee for individuals is $250 USD (€230 in Europe and £190 in Great Britain) per 50 minute session. All taxes are included.
The fee for couples is also $250 USD per 50 minute session but couples therapy benefits from 75 minute sessions (in other words, one and a half regular sessions) and that is my preference. For those 75 minute sessions that comes to $375 USD (€345 in Europe and £285 in Great Britain).
The fee can be paid prior to the session either by PayPal or Wise.com to tleckie@gmail.com.
Cancellations require 48 hours notice or a full fee will be charged.
Note: I am physically located in Toronto, Canada. My regulating college (the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario) does not prohibit me providing services internationally but there may be jurisdiction-specific laws in your country or state that guide the work of health care professionals; for example, health care consent laws, information privacy laws, vulnerable person protection laws, and so on that may or may not meet practice standards in your jurisdiction. There may be other restrictions or considerations in providing counselling or psychotherapy services where you live that I am unaware of. With all that in mind, if we do decide to proceed then I would suggest that we consider what we do “relationship coaching” rather than “therapy” and that the services would be considered as happening in Ontario, Canada. If that is all okay for you then we can proceed.
Location
My High Park psychotherapy office is tucked away behind a Victorian house on a tree lined street in Roncesvalles Village in Toronto. A tiny oasis in the city. Alas you will only get to see it via Zoom.
My book lined office has a wood burning stove and radiant in-floor heating during the winter and air-conditioning during the summer with a cozy selection of seating options.
At any given moment, you have the power to say:
This is not how the story is going to end.
