Manisha Grewal
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (Hons), MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Do you tend to replay past events in your mind over and over, and spiral into worries about the future? Do you struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, or relationships, causing you to "overgive" to others while abandoning your own needs? Many people describe feeling like they’re moving through life on autopilot — weighed down by overthinking, low mood, or the pressure to keep everyone else happy. You might notice people-pleasing tendencies, difficulty maintaining boundaries, or a pattern of overgiving that leaves you drained, ungrounded, and disconnected from yourself. ____________ Here, you’ll find a warm, calm space where your feelings are validated and your voice genuinely matters. Together, we’ll engage in meaningful, deep processing work, explore what's fuelling your distress, and gently uncover the deeper experiences and patterns shaping your emotional world. Alongside this, we’ll build practical tools to regulate your nervous system and ease your symptoms in the present, helping you reconnect with a more empowered, resilient, and self-aware version of yourself. I bring the richness of three cultures, four languages, and the lived experience of being both a first- and third-generation immigrant. My background in the medical field also allows me to integrate physiological and psychological insight. These parts of who I am allow me to deeply empathize with the immigrant journey across generations, as well as the ways culture, family expectations, and identity can shape mental health. No matter your background or story, I aim to meet you with genuine understanding, respect, and compassion. I am a proud ally to LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC communities and offer inclusive, compassionate care for all backgrounds and lived experiences. If what I’ve shared resonates, we may be a good fit. If you're curious about working together, let's start with a free, no-pressure 30-min video consultation, where we can connect and chat in a calm, relaxed space.

Shemina Jeraj
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Often seeking therapy can be a daunting process as you begin to uncover parts of you that are vulnerable. In my practice, I ensure that I provide a place to explore your suffering or what you want to change in your life without shame, judgment or criticism.
If you are a teenager, adult or a couple, I can support building healthy relationships and friendships, marital stress, disconnection and conflict, struggles with anger, over thinking and anxiety, depression, codependency, grief and any of your life transitions.
With specialized experience in Oncology and chronic illness support, I deeply understand the emotional, physical and impact on relationships that dealing with cancer brings. Whether you are a patient, survivor, family member or caregiver. This unique insight allows me to offer compassionate, skills based care that meets you exactly where you are.
I understand deeply that there are times in life when our thoughts and functioning become misaligned from how we want to be.
My training as a Registered Psychotherapist and my experience in evidence-based practices such as Mindfulness, Emotions-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Somatic and Experiential therapies have developed my integrative approach to holistic psychotherapy. I know the body, mind, and spirit are interconnected, so I work from the philosophy that every person is unique in their needs and how they can shift away from unhelpful patterns. Each person has wisdom within them, and I honor this wisdom.
As for me, I grew up in a marginalized culture and faced many challenges of discrimination and inequality. These struggles further fueled my curiosity and passion to inquire into how to alleviate suffering. My own personal journey has been to work on having healthy relationships, becoming vulnerable and being open to accepting parts of myself that are hidden and facing life’s many trials and tribulations.
I constantly strive to learn and grow as a professional and as an individual so that I can provide the best care to my clients. I invite you to give yourself an opportunity to grow from your challenges.
Please feel free to book a 20-minute no-fee consultation to explore if we are a good fit!

I offer flexibility for scheduling and individual preferences.

Bonny Kaman Li
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP
I provide online psychotherapy for adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted—often due to trauma, high-conflict relationships, ADHD, or long-standing patterns of people-pleasing and burnout. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but struggling internally with anxiety, guilt, emotional shutdown, or difficulty regulating stress.
My approach is trauma-informed and emotion-focused, integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and somatic-based strategies to help you better understand your emotional world, heal from past experiences, and build practical tools for everyday life. Therapy with me is structured yet flexible, grounded in safety, clarity, and respect for your pace.
Online sessions are available across Ontario and provide a calm, supportive space to do meaningful therapeutic work—whether you are processing trauma, navigating life transitions, or working toward greater emotional balance and self-trust.

Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
You're doing everything right — and somehow still feel like you're drowning.
Work. Kids. Relationships. The endless list of things that need you. On the outside, you're holding it together. But inside, you're exhausted, anxious, and quietly wondering when it gets to be your turn.
You don't need someone to tell you to breathe more or journal your feelings. You need someone who actually gets it — and helps you figure out why you keep ending up here, and how to stop.
I draw from ACT, DBT-informed skills, and Solution-Focused approaches — grounded, practical, and at a pace that works for you.
Virtual sessions available across Ontario. In-person in Toronto. Free 15-minute consultation — reach out to start.

Online in Victoria, BC
Victoria is British Columbia's capital city and a major retirement destination, giving it an older demographic profile than most Canadian cities — one that generates consistent demand for therapists working with aging, loss, caregiver stress, and the psychological dimensions of life transitions in later years. The city's government-worker culture, combined with the University of Victoria and Royal Roads University, creates a well-educated population that is generally comfortable seeking therapy and willing to engage in longer-term work. Island Health provides public mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community serving Oak Bay, Saanich, and the Inner Harbour area. Victoria's separation from Metro Vancouver by water means specialist therapist access can be limited in some areas, with telehealth filling an important gap for clients seeking a specific type of match.
