Rhoda Lalog
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, Qualifying
As an HR Professional with over 20 years in the corporate world, my passion has always been about empowering people and working as a team. As a consultant, mentor, coach and now a therapist, my gift is helping you see the authenticity of your own strengths and superpowers. I truly believe that each person has the inner wisdom to embark on a path of self-care, balance and harmony but sometimes we may get stuck and need help along the way. I believe my role is to support you in uncovering the layers of unconscious, old-patterned beliefs that may have temporarily clouded your ability to live your best life. Together, we can co-create a space that allows you to feel safe enough to be radically honest in order to make incremental steps forward for lasting change. We all want to feel a sense of peace and stability in our lives. Through your journey of self-discovery in our sessions, my aim will be to guide you into seeing new perspectives, offer you a non-judgmental space for emotional acceptance and provide you with practical tools that will empower you to experience your mind, body and spirit in a holistic way.

Gwen Shandroski, Expressive Arts Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc, S-LP(C), R.P.
I help my clients/patients feel comfortable to begin therapy. I have gone through this process as a client and as a therapist many times. Feeling understood and having someone help you take a look at what is going on can be very refreshing and provide some hope. My background in speech-language pathology has prepared me to work with clients who have difficulty expressing themselves. Expressive arts therapy is an alternative way to reach feelings and represent the experience you're having.

Audrey Palmer-Genesis Clinical Services
Registered Psychotherapist, CYW,MTS,RP
I'm a therapist in Toronto and I believe that each individual is the expert in themselves, and as such, they enter into a relationship with the therapist to move forward toward wholeness. I also believe that most of what we experience is temporary as we look at the extent of our lives. I caution individuals not to make permanent decisions based on a temporary situation. Therapy is the process of understanding what has derailed the individual and actively move them back to a place of equilibrium.
After 25 years of practice, I bring knowledge, insight and numerous skills to my work with clients. Whether I'm treating trauma, or helping clients apply the insights offered by Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, or utilizing the concepts of resilience to their experience, I am a fairly creative and utilize the client's creativity to help move them forward. By asking questions, offering perspectives, and suggesting ways to engage in the process beyond the confines of the session itself. My central role is to establish a caring and therapeutic relationship with each and every client. Contact me for a fifteen min. phone session.

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.

Jacalyn Caswell
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A.C.P., B.A., R.P. (Qualifying)
Accepting new clients. I work with adults and youth who experience depression, anxiety, work-related stress, self-esteem concerns, relationship conflict, grief and loss. Knowing how challenging life can be, it is important that we have a safe community and people to assist us when sometimes we cannot manage our experiences alone. Thus together within therapy, we will work as a team to explore present patterns and behaviours that result in feelings we wish to change and build a strong and compassionate belief of self, exploring new strategies and techniques along the way.
I approach every client individually with an empathetic and trauma-informed approach. I understand the importance of the mind-to-body connection when we experience stress. My goal is to treat this stress and improve overall wellness through Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy.
Currently, as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I welcome you to counselling and the ability to share your story. It's amazing what we can do when given a little knowledge and some help. Please feel free to send me a message to book a 15 minute consultation as it is the best form of contact. I look forward to meeting you soon. Take care.

Emma Heutschi
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Ed. Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychotherapist
I will always be sensitive to your needs while we work to deeply understand who you are, what is going on for you, and what you want. I will fully listen to you in a safe place with zero judgement, as we bring awareness to your issues and discover solutions. Feelings of shame, confusion and guilt will be resolved together, as I will challenge your thoughts to develop more balanced thinking and guide you to understand and express your emotions.
It takes courage to ask for help, thus I see all clients as strong and capable of change, otherwise they would not be in my office. My commitment is to meet you where you're at and to help you feel safe exploring whatever you're struggling with. I can teach you skills for developing boundaries, regulating your emotions, communicating more effectively, and much more. I will support you to achieve your goals and to build self-compassion and self-reliance.

Ashley Ferraccioli
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying)/Intern Therapist
Life can be unpredictable and can present challenging experiences that are hard to navigate on our own. During these times, we can feel overwhelmed, especially if we experience high levels of stress or anxiety, struggle in managing emotions, or have experienced traumatic events in our life. Sometimes, we get so caught up in our negative thoughts that it can be hard to overtake them, and it may even feel impossible to stop them. They may even start interfering with your everyday life and you may lose sight of who you are.
I am passionate about helping people overcome challenges in their life, no matter what stage. I aim to support you by creating a calm and safe space where you can freely express yourself. Working collaboratively, I am committed to helping you explore and work through the challenges in your life.
I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if we are a good fit. Please feel free to reach out – I am here to help! I look forward to beginning this journey with you.
