When you are experiencing chronic depression and anxiety, reliving traumatic events or facing life threatening and chronic illness, an experienced therapist can guide you with care and understanding to unburden pain, uncover the many patterns and parts that have evolved to protect you. We will incorporate the heart-felt, the body-sense and the thinking brain. You will discover your authentic self and experience deep wisdom within.

I use a compassionate and holistic therapeutic approach, that includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Clinical Hypnotherapy, IFS, somatic awakening, Psychedelic assisted Therapy, and mindfulness practice. These tools can help you better understand your thoughts and feelings in the present moment, allowing you to find a path toward deep inner healing and transformation, even in the face of impending death.

For those struggling with long-standing conditions like chronic illness, PTSD, depression, anxiety, including spiritual or existential crisis, I offer support through psychedelic-assisted therapy, using ketamine and psilocybin. I offer preparation and integration sessions uniquely co-created with you. If you’re looking for a therapist who understands the unique challenges faced by front-line responders and military personnel, I have experienced the everyday trauma in my work supporting people caught in catastrophic events. For members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ I want you to know—I have been an active member in this community for over 40 years. I understand the construct of gender, the dissonance when it doesn’t feel right and the journey to express the authentic self.

I offer a safe and supportive space to explore feelings and thoughts allowing you to strengthen your relationship with your authentic self and embrace your future with greater peace and understanding.

You don’t have to go through this alone. Together, we’ll explore your emotions, thoughts, and beliefs to help you achieve your goals. Hypnotherapy can help you reconnect with your inner voice and foster positive thoughts, while psychedelic therapy with ketamine and psilocybin can tap into your subconscious wisdom to facilitate deep healing. I’m here to walk with you every step of the way, with patience, empathy, and care.

Tamar Hidegh is a trauma-informed psychotherapist who works with first responders, military personnel, veterans, and anyone who has experienced trauma—whether from a single event or years of cumulative stress. She provides a space where those who have spent their lives holding it together can begin to let go, process what they’ve been through, and reconnect with themselves.

With advanced training in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), somatic interventions, mindfulness, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Tamar offers an integrative approach that is both structured and deeply compassionate. She understands that trauma doesn’t just impact the mind—it lives in the body, disrupts the nervous system, and alters a person’s sense of identity, safety, and control.

Tamar integrates psychedelic-assisted therapy and psychedelic integration as powerful tools for healing, helping clients access deeper emotional processing, regulate their nervous system, and break free from stuck patterns. Her work is grounded in neuroscience and guided by the belief that healing requires both insight and embodiment.

Whether someone is carrying the weight of moral injury, betrayal trauma, childhood abuse, interpersonal violence, or occupational trauma, Tamar brings presence, skill, and deep respect to the process. This work is not about going back to who you were before the trauma—it’s about discovering who you are now, with more clarity, strength, and purpose.

I am a psychologist with a psychoanalytic, relational, attachment orientation. My work has included a strong focus on trauma as well as mood disorders, relationship issues, work-life balance, individual self-fulfillment, and many other issues. I have worked with all ages, sexual orientation, gender identification, and the wide range of ethnicities that greater Toronto enjoys. I have been in private practice for over 25 years, with affiliations with the Toronto Psychoanalytic Society, the Hincks Dellcrest Family and Child Centre (now part of the Hospital for Sick Children), the Peel Board of Education, and multiple other organizations. I follow Rinzai and Soto Zen traditions. I am grateful for my human and animal companions.

Looking back years ago, when I first took psychedelics, I had no idea what a life-changing event it would be. I took more. In that place and time, it was legal. Now that psychedelics are becoming legal in Ontario, it feels like I have come full circle and can bring my trainings and experiences to fruition. After a Toronto mentorship in psychedelics, I attended and graduated from the 8-month intensive Naropa Center for Psychedelic Studies, a branch of Naropa University, a fully-accredited university in Colorado. I have been training and working with psychedelics for about three years.

With ATMA CENA, I have a like-minded community to engage in this promising, sometimes joyful, sometimes deeply challenging work. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
