Lillian Benrubi (She/Her)
This therapist provides mental health counselling under their own license.
Inspired by mentors who supported her through her own challenges, Lillian felt a strong desire to become a therapist from a young age. With a natural ability to connect with people and the wisdom gained from navigating her own life experiences, she developed a foundation of compassion that guides her work. This passion led her to pursue a career in therapy, grounded in both empathy and expertise.
Lillian graduated from York University with a BA in Psychology and went on to complete her Master’s in Social Work at the University of Toronto in 1992. Since then, she has worked with children, youth, families, individual adults, and couples, both within organizations and in private practice. She has been recognized as one of the top three rated marriage counselors in Newmarket. Alongside her private practice, Lillian provides trauma therapy and consultation to mental health organizations in the GTA and is contracted by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care as a Social Worker.
She is registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers and is listed online with Psychology Today, Theravive, and Psychotherapy Matters. Lillian is a certified NLP Practitioner/Coach and a member of the American Board of Neuro Linguistic Programming, the American Board of Hypnotherapy, and the Timeline Therapy Association. She is also trained in EMDR Therapy, an effective approach for addressing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other concerns.
In addition to her clinical work, Lillian has contributed articles on parenting and child psychology, co-authored in The Book of Inspiration, and has been invited to speak on summits and talk radio about self-care, relationships, personal growth, and development. Through her work with diverse client groups, ongoing training, and dedication to self-development, Lillian has maintained over 30 years of success as an effective and compassionate therapist.
