Meet the Clinic Founder & Lead Psychotherapist:
Julia Mazzotta, MSW RSW
Rise and Renew Therapy was founded by Julia Mazzotta, a registered social worker and psychotherapist who like many people spent years in therapy wondering if her therapist even liked her, let alone understood her.
(If you’ve ever left a session feeling more confused than when you walked in, she gets it).
After enough awkward silences and missed connections, Julia decided to create the kind of therapy space she always wished she had: one that actually feels human.
This is a space to feel seen, understood, and supported, without pressure to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or have everything figured out.

Frequently Asked Questions About Online Therapy in Ontario
You don’t need to have a “big reason” or know exactly what to say. Here’s what to know about starting psychotherapy with Rise & Renew, from how virtual sessions work to the concerns we support, including anxiety, ADHD, burnout, relationships, breakups, self-confidence, and more.
-
Not at all. You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many people come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or just wanting to understand themselves better. If it matters to you, it’s enough.
-
That’s completely okay. You don’t need to prepare anything. We can start with what’s been on your mind lately, how you’ve been feeling, or even just what brought you here. The conversation will unfold naturally. Anything that is affecting your wellbeing or making life feel harder. This can include anxiety, ADHD, relationships, breakups, self-confidence, perfectionism, people-pleasing, stress, burnout, life transitions, and other personal challenges.
-
If you’re curious about it, that’s usually a good sign. Therapy is a space to explore, reflect, and feel supported. You can start slow, ask questions, and see how it feels, there’s no pressure to have it all figured out. You don't need to be experiencing a mental health crisis to start therapy. Many people seek therapy because they're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, anxious, burnt out, or unhappy with patterns in their relationships or lives.

Yes. Therapy can help you understand patterns of worry, overthinking, avoidance, self-criticism, and anxiety while developing strategies to manage them.
