Hannah Bickle Psychotherapy, Toronto and Virtual Ontario

Hello,

If you’re on this page, you’re likely trying to figure out if I’m the right person to talk to, so I’ll share a bit about myself and why you’re finding me here now.

During my undergrad, I dove headfirst into life’s unanswerable questions, taking as many philosophy courses as I could. I was fixated on what it means to exist and how we conceptualize the “Self”. This began an adventure without an end.

In a twist of fate, I got swept up into a decade-long career in the film industry, which, for anyone who knew me, was not the least bit surprising given my lifelong passion for video editing. During that time, I lived on a boat in downtown Toronto. In many ways, I was living a life my younger self would have dreamed of. But I didn’t feel like myself, whatever that meant. I expected to wake up one day and realize who I really was, and I hoped that I would like her when that day came. That went on for a long time.

What did come, slowly, was the realization that the way I was feeling was eerily familiar. I was looking at my patterns from a bird’s-eye view. I knew I was going to need to change the way I related to myself and the world to get out of the cycle that didn’t feel like me. I had been to therapy before, but this time I understood that I was responsible for making that change happen in my life. I changed many things, my career aspirations among them. I got a Master’s degree and became a psychotherapist.

Self-discovery is a life-long pursuit, but I am now acquainted enough with myself to know that the endless “becoming” can feel exciting. There’s no quick fix, no perfect approach, but some things can begin to feel clearer over time. I’m here to help you make sense of yourself, in a way that feels more like your own.

The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.
