Lauren Jin Yong Schneider
Registered Psychotherapist, R.P. (Qualifying)
I understand reaching out to begin therapy can be intimidating. My biggest priority is ensuring you feel comfortable, genuinely seen, supported, with empathy and without judgment. I help support clients struggling with anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, eating disorders, trauma, relationship and communication issues, emotion dysregulation, as well as concerns related to self-esteem and self-development.
My approach to therapy centers my clients, integrating evidence-based approaches of cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, emotion-focused, and acceptance & commitment therapies as well as distress tolerance and mindfulness-based interventions. Above all, I believe in providing collaborative, individualized care, where we'll work together to discover your hopes, strengths, therapeutic goals, and an approach that resonates with you.
Feel free to reach out for a free consultation to chat further about your concerns and our fitness to work together. I look forward to meeting you!

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.

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.

Kacper Kalin
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, MTh
Since embarking on my training in psychotherapy in 2003, I have continually encountered evidence reaffirming the crucial role of the therapeutic relationship in facilitating positive outcomes. Together, we can establish and nurture a trusting therapeutic alliance, where your feelings and thoughts are not only valued but also progressively understood with increasing accuracy and awareness. This holds true for both individuals and couples seeking therapy.
