Laura Farberman
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW
Currently accepting new clients. Therapy is the journey of becoming free to be ourselves. Instead of becoming a better version of ourselves, we can connect to who we are at our core, without the coping mechanisms we unconsciously took on to survive. These ways of coping, often wired into our brain and nervous system, can show up differently for each person. For you, it might be perfectionism, procrastination, an inner critic, low self-esteem or anxiety, to name a few. My approach combines the best of practical psychology, science and grounded spiritual psychology. I make the roots of complex emotions, behaviours and addictions accessible and actionable so that you can achieve sustainable change and true transformation. I am trained in Compassionate Inquiry, a psychotherapeutic approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté that reveals the patterns beneath how we present to the world amongst other psychotherapeutic modalities.
Through Compassionate Inquiry you begin to recognize the unconscious patterns, which show up as triggers, traumas and ways of coping and suppressing emotions, and how to become free from them. I support clients to reconnect with their bodies, via somatic experience. Benefits include, relief of symptoms of chronic pain, anxiety, depression and addiction.
Soulful Therapy is a compassionate and non-judgmental approach to psychotherapy and an effective way to begin down the path of introspection. It is a place to process what’s going on in your present, make sense of your past, or explore factors that may guide choices to cultivate a life that feels self-compassionate, vibrant, and authentic above all else.

New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
We are a team of Registered Psychotherapists and Social Workers who specialize in supporting individuals through effective and research backed trauma, relationship, and sex therapy.
We began as a trauma focused clinic - our team has a solid understanding of the countless small and large ways that trauma impacts us. We work with traumatic stress and related difficulties such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD and complexPTSD), addiction, self-harm, and suicide ideation. We support survivors of sexual violence as well as those who have experienced emotional and physical abuse, criminal victimization, bullying, war, and near death experiences.
We've found that as people heal, relationships and intimacy naturally becomes a secondary focus. For this reason we offer family, couples, and sex therapy. We support individuals of all gender and sexual identities and relationship structures.
We respect diversity and differences in opinions, values and attitudes. This is reflected through individualized treatment plans which consider each individuals lived and generational experiences. We strive to provide culturally-sensitive, non-discriminatory, and affirming care to culturally diverse populations and BIPOC, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, kink and polyamorous communities.
Our goal is to help you break free from your past and rediscover a fulfilling life filled with joy and connection.

Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RP
Overly emotional...too soft for your own good...do these judgements sound so familiar? If yes, you have found your tribe! I am passionate about working with individuals whose unique personality traits characterize them as highly sensitive. My clients are highly intuitive and experience life and emotions profoundly. And many of my clients, despite their best effort, find themselves stuck and struggling with ineffective coping patterns to help manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief, and loss. I strive to help clients reestablish a flexible and compassionate connection with their inner-most voice while developing skills to weather even the most volatile emotional storm - empowering clients to reclaim the rich and meaningful life they want.

Dr. Nilgun Turkcan Ataoglu, BCT, RDT
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, Licensed & Registered Creative Arts Therapist
I am a Creative Arts Therapist, a Registered Drama Therapist - RDT, a Board-Certified Trainer - BCT, a supervisor and I am the founder and the director of Creative Arts Therapy Center…I have over 22 years of experience in promoting growth and healing through engagement in the arts.
Becoming a creative arts therapist has been long, extremely exciting and rewarding journey for me. Since I was a child, I was often expressing my thoughts and feelings through art, storytelling, role playing and writing poems, which made me to discover the healing power of arts at very early age. In 1999, when I found out about the MA Program in Creative Arts Therapies, at Concordia University, in Canada and I was accepted to the Master’s studies, my biggest dream came through. During my two years internships at McGill University Hospital, I became aware of my abilities to listen and have empathy towards others' suffering. After graduating and having for 11 years clinical experience, my motivation and curiosity about the field led me to start my PhD study in Expressive Therapies Program at Lesley University, in Boston. During my twenty-two years of clinical experience, I have privileged to help and to witness so many people to discover the meaning of their shattered life and to be empowered by creating and rewriting their life stories through drama, art, dance and music. To experience the honor of being entrusted with deepest secrets or overwhelming experiences also to experience with and to ''hold'' another human being through the process of healing, and transformation is the greatest reward one can experience.
