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!

This holds true for both individuals and couples seeking therapy.

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.

Sexuality & ADhD Solutions
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapist/Certified Coach - RSSW, AAC, CEBC, CAE
Having ADHD/ASD myself, I started my practice in 2013, with the passion to empower those with different brains to learn management skills that work for their specific issues.
Within a few years, I realized there was a big need to understand that ADHD is an executive function malfunction and it does impacting our sexuality. Our struggle with creating and maintaining boundaries, will definitely impact how we make choices throughout our life, including our sexual choices.
Did you know there is a higher rate of sexual issues among people with ADHD? I had to overcome many.
Since then, my passion has becomes stronger with each client who overcomes their blocks and hurts, and sets themself up for success, whatever that meant to them. I am honoured to do this unique work that changes people's lives in major ways.
There is nothing more important than being heard, seen, and supported.

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.

Ps. I Love You Psychotherapy Inc.
Registered Psychotherapist, HBEd, MA (Hons.), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
They say our greatest weakness lies in giving up! We have all been there. I decided that if life was going to be difficult, I would become its greatest “warrior” and teach others to do the same. Too often we use our armour to hide our inner selves, rather than see it as our strength which only comes from taking a risk, facing our fears, taking a step forward, and learning that every battle is won with wisdom. I am here to empower you to take that chance on yourself — your mind is a powerful force, but you are its master.
Through various forms of therapy, one can explore different perspectives, coping skills, and motivators to establish better relationships; self-esteem and self-direction; deal with complicated family or couple dynamics; face a significant crisis or transition; manage substance use or addiction; and collaboratively make cognitive and behavioral changes to better emotional, mental, and even physical health!
