Joanne Del Core, MA, RP

I work with individuals, young adults and working professionals who are looking to heal current and past trauma, those experiencing grief, interpersonal stress in relationships, and want to improve their ability to manage stress, anxiety, and change. I specialize in anxiety, grief and loss, anger management, emotional overwhelm, and depression.

I work with adolescents and young adults on topics related to anxiety, grief, divorce, and school stress. I specialize in helping young adults to understand their emotional experience and work through it.

I deliver workshops for teachers and parents on emotional development practices in the home and the classrooms for children. I regularly present to ECE educators at Humber College and affiliates such as George Brown College and CDRCP. 

I provide clinical supervision and consultation for therapists looking for a practicum site or psychotherapists looking to elevate their clinical practice. I offer individual and group supervision services designed to foster development as a clinician.  

My focus is individuals with anxiety, life transitions, grief, depression and past trauma. My work is heavily influenced by my training in family therapy and the impact of early life experiences as well as the systems we exist within. I help clients to better understand their patterns but I also offer concrete ways to manage difficult emotions.

I also offer clinical supervision for social workers who are seeking a space to grow therapeutically. While I offer an additional lens for your cases, I also focus on use of self in therapy and am invested in therapist well being.

Through a compassionate and collaborative approach, I offer a safe space for individuals to navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, and life transitions. The process focuses on connecting clients with strategies that foster self-acceptance and kindness while exploring the blocks that hold them back. Together, we determine the best path forward, building resilience and momentum for a more fulfilling life.

Adolescents and young adults often face a unique combination of pressures, from academic stress and family dynamics to anxiety, identity exploration, and major life transitions. Therapy provides a safe, supportive space where teens can express themselves openly, develop emotional awareness, and learn practical tools to navigate these challenges. The goal is to help young people define their values in order to build confidence, resilience, and a stronger sense of self.

Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) workshops are an integral part of my practice. This eight-week, evidence-based program, developed by Dr. Kristin Neff and Dr. Christopher Germer, blends mindfulness and self-compassion exercises to foster emotional resilience, reduce self-criticism, and build a kinder relationship with oneself. Participants gain practical tools for managing difficult emotions and enhancing overall well-being in a supportive group setting. Witnessing participants’ growth during these workshops is one of the most fulfilling parts of my work.
