Forouz Salari
Registered Social Worker, MA, MSW, RSW
I am a white-passing, Middle-Eastern, bisexual, cis-gender, neurotypical woman and a first-generation immigrant and settler (who came to Canada as a refugee, during childhood).
I’ve also lived through experiences of trauma, displacement, mental illness, divorce, chronic illness and chronic pain.
So, I know what it’s like to feel lost, confused, doubtful, overwhelmed, frustrated, misunderstood, lonely, exhausted, and just not good enough! I know the effort and energy it takes to step into and embrace a journey of self-discovery, healing and growth, not knowing where it might lead. I also know how incredibly transformative it can be!
That must be why you're here too - ready and looking for something in your life to change for the better. I'm here to help!

Penelope Yen
Psychologist, BA (Hons), MACP, Registered Provisional Psychologist
Don't you wish you could move forward from trauma and stop it from impacting your day-to-day life? I can help you recover from trauma, work through relationship issues, and live a more meaningful and fulfilling life. My skills come not only from my education and training, but also from a profuse amount of lived experience. I have faced my own mental health struggles and traumas in the past and I know how hard it can be to move forward.
My goal is to provide truly helpful, evidence-based psychological assessment and counselling for adult individuals and couples. I always aim to provide the best possible type of therapy according to your preferences and the way your mind works. I am neurodiversity affirming and believe in working with you, not on you.
I have a particular interest in helping adults who have experienced trauma, whether in childhood or recently, but even if you're just going through a tough or confusing time, I can work with you to truly find a more fulfilling path through life and its issues. I also go over and above the therapy hour to provide your own portal of relevant digital resources.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW & MACP
I know how it feels to be broken and dead inside. Life can be a never-ending struggle of trying to belong and please but always ending up rejected and labeled to be a disappointment. I know how much damage a toxic environment can cause. I know how it feels to be singled out and called crazy because your doctor put you on antidepressants. I can feel your struggle of trying to hide behind a fake smile while struggling with holding your tears. Believe me when I say that you are not alone. I have been there but I rewrote my story and I want to help you rewrite yours.
My life changed when I realized that anything that cost me my peace of mind was too expensive to pay for. Learning to let go of overthinking and focusing on the possibilities was part of my healing journey.
