Stuart Hellebrand, M.S., C.Ht.
Hypnotherapist
Clients who reside locally most often schedule in-person sessions. Other local clients can elect to blend in person and remote hypnotherapy sessions using Zoom. Clients who reside out of the immediate area or in another State will have all of their sessions using Zoom. To accommodate the online process, I use a HIPAA compliant version of Zoom to protect your privacy and confidentiality. If you are not familiar with Zoom, note that it is a free download that works splendidly with a cell phone, tablet, or laptop. Once you download Zoom, and before your first session, we will connect and practice a bit at no cost to you. My goal is to make the remote process both easy and comfortable for you. My online hypnotherapy services are identical in content to those I conduct in person. In that I pride myself as being an educator charged with teaching you a lifelong skillset, you will need to be able to receive and print email attachments. Lastly, especially for those who reside out of the area, payment is by way of PayPal.

Wherever you are in Ontario, support is within reach. I offer secure, confidential video sessions that feel just as warm and personal as sitting together in a room — because the work doesn't change, only the screen does.
Virtual therapy works well if you have a busy schedule, live outside Toronto, or simply feel more comfortable processing from your own space. I serve adults across Ontario.
Book a free 15-minute consultation, and we'll figure it out together.

Bonny Kaman Li
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP
Bonny is the founder and Clinical Director of Théla Psychotherapy Clinic, working with clients ages 8 and up who are navigating complex trauma, borderline personality disorder and other personality patterns, ADHD and neurodivergence, and the aftermath of narcissistic or emotionally abusive relationships. She also offers individual, couples, and family therapy, with particular focus on attachment, identity, and women's mental health.
Bonny's approach is trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, and genuinely collaborative — she works alongside clients as equals, offering a different perspective when useful without ever invalidating their own experience. Many of her clients have already done real work elsewhere and are looking for someone who can go deeper, not start over.
She integrates EMDR, DBT, Internal Family Systems, Gottman Method (Levels 1 & 2) and Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, and somatic approaches — tailored to each client rather than applied by formula. Before becoming a therapist, Bonny spent over 14 years in ADHD coaching and brings a distinctive background in law, mediation, and conflict resolution to her clinical work. She is a recipient of the Attorney General's Victim Services Award of Distinction.
Bonny offers therapy in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, in-person in Markham, Ontario, or virtually across Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta.

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.

Sanofer Ansari
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MACP
I understand that life can involve balancing multiple responsibilities while navigating your own emotions, needs, and challenges. Sometimes, we become so focused on taking care of everything and everyone around us that we forget to make space for ourselves. I recognize that there is often more to a person's story than what others see, and I value the opportunity to understand the experiences that have shaped who you are today.
Coming from a South Asian Indian background, I have been shaped by a conservative, collectivist family environment and a patriarchal society. These experiences have given me an appreciation for how family expectations, relationships, responsibility, and social pressures can influence our decisions and emotional well-being. I understand that balancing the expectations of others with your own needs can be complicated, particularly when expressing emotions, setting boundaries, or choosing a different path feels difficult.
My approach to therapy is understanding, kind, direct, and authentic. I believe in having honest conversations, getting to the heart of what matters, and addressing difficulties without unnecessary drama or exaggeration. I strive to listen beyond the words being spoken, understand the person behind the struggle, and offer thoughtful support that is relevant to your needs. For me, therapy is about meaningful conversations and genuine effort, not simply saying what sounds good.
Whether you are navigating grief, childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, chronic illness, ADHD, mood disorders, personality-related difficulties, anger, or low self-esteem, we can explore what you are experiencing and what may be contributing to it. You may also be struggling with relationship difficulties, emotional regulation, boundary setting, career decisions, suicidal thoughts, narcissistic abuse, or the effects of domestic violence, whether you have experienced abuse or are concerned about your own behaviour. You do not need to have everything figured out before starting therapy; sometimes, understanding what is happening is the first step toward change.
I hope our work together leaves you feeling heard, understood, and comfortable enough to speak openly about what is really going on. I aim to build a genuine therapeutic relationship where you do not have to pretend to be okay or find the perfect words to describe your feelings. I want to understand things from your perspective, walk alongside you through difficult moments, and help you make sense of experiences that may feel confusing or overwhelming.
Our sessions will be collaborative and guided by your needs, goals, and pace. Together, we can explore your thoughts, understand your emotions, recognize patterns, and develop practical ways to manage life's challenges. We may try different therapeutic strategies to help you process difficult experiences, strengthen emotional regulation, build healthier boundaries, and respond to situations differently. Rather than assuming there is one solution that works for everyone, we will work toward finding approaches that feel meaningful and useful to you.
During your consultation, we will discuss what has brought you to therapy, how your concerns affect your daily life, and the impact they may have on your emotional and physical well-being. We will explore what you hope to achieve through therapy and discuss therapeutic approaches that align with your needs and preferences.
I invite you to reach out to book your free 20-minute consultation, and see whether working together feels like a good fit.
