Jennifer Fukushima
Registered Psychotherapist, registered psychotherapist
As a biracial, non-binary person of colour and fourth generation Canadian I hold that identity is complex and I want to make space for you to be seen for your true, authentic self.
The issues I treat are all experiences I have intimate familiarity with through my own life or the lives of family, friends and loved ones which allows me to operate from a position of deep, inner resonance. As a wounded healer, I consider it an honour and a privilege to accompany you on your own healing journey.

Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapist/Certified Coach - RSSW, AAC, CEBC, CAE
Having ADHD/ASD myself, I started my practice in 2013, with the passion to empower those with different brains to learn management skills that work for their specific issues.
Within a few years, I realized there was a big need to understand that ADHD is an executive function malfunction and it does impacting our sexuality. Our struggle with creating and maintaining boundaries, will definitely impact how we make choices throughout our life, including our sexual choices.
Did you know there is a higher rate of sexual issues among people with ADHD? I had to overcome many.

Sehr Athar
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I believe that healing is growth in the face of adversity; it is a journey of coming (back) into yourself with deep self compassion, and we all have insight into how to get there. Sometimes we just need a bit of support along the way; someone to hold (non judgemental space) and work alongside us to find solutions, develop coping strategies and build on our innate skills and wisdom so that we are more emotionally resilient to life's challenges. I look forward to holding this space for you.

Ps. I Love You Psychotherapy Inc.
Registered Psychotherapist, HBEd, MA (Hons.), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
They say our greatest weakness lies in giving up! We have all been there. I decided that if life was going to be difficult, I would become its greatest “warrior” and teach others to do the same. Too often we use our armour to hide our inner selves, rather than see it as our strength which only comes from taking a risk, facing our fears, taking a step forward, and learning that every battle is won with wisdom. I am here to empower you to take that chance on yourself — your mind is a powerful force, but you are its master.
Through various forms of therapy, one can explore different perspectives, coping skills, and motivators to establish better relationships; self-esteem and self-direction; deal with complicated family or couple dynamics; face a significant crisis or transition; manage substance use or addiction; and collaboratively make cognitive and behavioral changes to better emotional, mental, and even physical health!
