Our Workshops

Vistas Psychotherapy & Wellness offers workshops and professional development for therapists, health-care teams, and workplaces in Toronto and virtually across Ontario. Each workshop translates integrative, body-aware practice into practical tools you can bring into your work and daily life.

Our clinician workshops are designed for Registered Psychotherapists, RP (Qualifying) registrants, students, and other regulated health professionals. Workshops are led by Amanda Carver, R.P., Clinical Director of Vistas, and members of our team, drawing on clinical practice, supervision experience, and yoga-informed training.

We also offer workshops for workplaces and community groups, including lunch-and-learns that introduce practical, evidence-informed ways to understand stress, rest, and the nervous system. These can be booked for your team in person or virtually.

Our workshops are educational. They are not psychotherapy and do not create a therapeutic relationship. If you are looking for individual support, you're welcome to explore our services or book a free consultation.
