Arzu Ferguson
Psychologist, M.Sc., RP, C. Psych.
Are you feeling depressed and anxious? Or just overwhelmed and don't know where to start? Maybe you are going through a period of transition and need support. Therapy can help. I tailor my therapeutic approach to meet the unique needs of each client and together we can identify the roots of your problems and create strategies to overcome them. Stressful events can stir up feelings and memories of previous traumas and affect our abilities to cope. If you are feeling lonely, sad and have intense suicidal feelings and thoughts, reach out. Don’t go through this alone. I am here to help! For further information, please feel free to contact me and receive a prompt reply. I am currently seeing clients in person and online. No Waitlist!

Rob Pepper
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, B.Ed, M.AC.P - Perfectionism & Borderline Personality Disorder
I specialize in helping people with Perfectionism & Borderline Personality Disorder. Although I accept clients who are looking for short-term therapy to build skills for coping with anxiety and stress, most of the work I do with clients involves a 'deep-dive' into longstanding issues that stem from childhood or adolescence. If that description seems to match your current situation, then we may be a good fit.

Ivan Pityk
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
My philosophy is that the past builds our being through the experiences we had and the lessons we learned. These experiences help to shape our sense of meaning and personal fulfilment through our journey. Therefore, I believe that it is important to explore the past and see how it shapes our experience in relation to ourselves and others. I incorporate this perspective in my work with clients and help to emphasize the power of choice, explore unmet needs and help to explore important areas for boundary setting.

Adrienne Sharma-Richardson PhD MEd RP OCT
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Gestalt Psychotherapist Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Gottman Trained Couples Therapist
As a gestalt psychotherapist, who pairs gestalt training with somatic experiencing I can help support you in healing from your trauma.
No one in the Niagara Region utilizes the combination of these therapies and applies them to working with couples in crisis. Gottman (couples) and Post Induction Therapy training (relational/developmental trauma)
I am sorry to say but popular approaches to healing trauma like CBT will provide only temporary relief at best.
If you want to get to the root of your trauma and heal somatic experiencing (SE) is what you need and when supported with the power of relational gestalt therapy you will shift your shit!
SE focuses on regulating your nervous system.
With SE work trauma responses are completed and energy is released back into the system and with this the resolution and disappearance of physical complaints, including headaches, digestive problems, and pain syndromes can be resolved, and emotional regulation can be restored.
I will teach you how to work with your stress response - the body's innate alarm system in response to a perceived danger, also called the "Fight or Flight" response.
It is highly adaptive to danger and human survival when threats are physical, but less so when threats are psychological, or imaginary, among other somatic and relational skills.
I have been trained under Dr Abi Blakeslee part of Dr Peter A Levine's legacy group out of California for Somatic Experiencing and the late great Dr Bud Feder the author of Beyond the Hot Seat was on my dissertation committee overseeing a phenomenological study of the effectiveness of a gestalt therapy group I created to reduce stress in working informal caregivers of the elderly. I named the group process Stressed WOW (We Overloaded with Work).
Gestalt therapy is an extremely complex psychotherapy, too complex to describe in this short space.
The power of its effectiveness can only be experienced.
Most present day therapies have stolen bits and pieces of its praxis.
Get the whole again with a holistic, here and now, experiential therapy.
I am here for you... I've got your six!

Regina D'cruz
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I am an internationally trained psychotherapist with over 6 years of therapy experience supporting children, adolescents, and young adults in India and the Gulf. I believe every person is inherently driven toward and has the capacity for growth when in the right environment. While working together collaboratively, you can expect a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free space allowing for self-reflection and self-understanding. I will help you focus and build on your strengths and supports, look at different perspectives, learn skills, and use them to work on yourself and your overall mental health.
