New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
New Moon Psychotherapy offers virtual services using secure video conferencing or telephone call. Prefer virtual work but would like a few appointments first in office? We can make that happen!
While the shift to online therapy in 2020 was essential, what we've since learned is that the same evidence-based work can be done online with the added benefit of convenience and accessibility for the client.
Busy professionals, students, and parents appreciate the reduced time commitment (no more travel time!) and cost effectiveness (no more parking or transportation costs!). Folks from small or underserviced communities have increased options for care and increased privacy of not having to open up to a member of their community. Many others see the benefit of joining from home where furry friends and comfort items are easily accessible.
Reach out today to discuss how Online Therapy might fit into your life and for a complimentary consultation with our skilled clinical team.

Ferozan Nasiri
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
My journey to becoming a therapist is rooted in my passion for social justice and a deep desire to make a meaningful impact on people's lives. Growing up in a diverse community, she witnessed firsthand the challenges marginalized individuals and families face in accessing mental health care and coping with trauma. These experiences sparked my commitment to social work and mental health advocacy. Throughout my career, Ferozan has taken on various roles that deepened my understanding of the importance of mental health care in different settings. Whether working with children in schools or adults in hospitals, she has been drawn to creating a space where individuals feel supported, understood, and empowered. My diverse professional experiences, including addiction counselling and youth advocacy, have solidified her dedication to mental health care and deepened my awareness of how trauma and systemic barriers affect well-being. My therapeutic approach is both strength-based and person-centered. I focus on helping clients harness their inner strengths and capabilities while ensuring their unique needs, perspectives, and experiences are at the forefront of the therapeutic process. This approach allows me to tailor interventions that promote resilience and foster a sense of empowerment. Ultimately, Ferozan's mission is to foster resilience, promote mental wellness, and help my clients build fulfilling lives. Whether through direct therapy or broader systemic change, she is committed to making a positive impact on mental health, providing reassurance to my clients and the broader community.

Liz Dean
Registered Social Worker, M.S.W., R.S.W
Feeling alone? I would love to support you with therapy personalized to you and your unique needs. Sometimes we find ourselves feeling disconnected, insecure, anxious, angry, sad and exhausted - at ourselves, the world, our family and friends. We don't know what to do about it and it can make us feel utterly alone. Together we can find a path forward so you can move more easily and authentically through life. I work with people experiencing struggles like self-doubt, loneliness, anxiety, depression, ADHD, chronic pain or illness, emotional dysregulation and difficulties in relationships or new stages of life.
My style is direct and genuinely non-judgemental. You will hear me say “that makes sense because…” a lot. My goal is to create a space where you can understand what is going on in your life. Because when we understand and accept where we are, we can begin to see a different path for our future - and begin to like ourselves and our lives life more.

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.

Angie Kingma (Mindfulness for Health)
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just not like yourself lately? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
Whether you're looking for relief from anxiety, feeling more confident in your day-to-day life, or ready to do some deeper emotional healing, I’m here to support you. Above all else, I believe that a strong, genuine therapeutic relationship is the foundation for meaningful change. You’ll be met with warmth, respect, compassion and humour; no judgment, just real connection.
Some of my clients come to therapy to shift unhelpful coping patterns. Others are working through painful past experiences that still affect them today. And many are somewhere in between, exploring new perspectives, building healthier habits, and reconnecting with their inner strength.
I integrate evidence-based approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Brainspotting, tailoring each session to meet your unique needs. But ultimately, the process is collaborative, and we’ll go at a pace that feels right for you.
Therapy can be a powerful space to slow down, reflect, and rediscover the clarity and confidence that’s already within you. If you’re ready to take that first step, I’m here and happy to walk beside you. Feel free to also inquire about my Therapy Intensives, which is an accelerated format of therapy compared to weekly sessions. Intensives can be a powerful way to dive deeper and experience meaningful shifts in a shorter period of time.

Kitchener — often referenced alongside Waterloo as part of the Waterloo Region — is at the center of Canada's most significant technology hub outside Toronto, home to the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University, and dozens of major tech startups and scale-ups, creating persistent demand for therapists who work with innovation-sector burnout, high-stakes career pressure, and the psychological costs of startup culture. The region's growing immigrant population from South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East adds cultural diversity to therapy demand that the private therapy community is still catching up to reflect. Grand River Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside an active private therapy community. Kitchener's rapid diversification — beyond its German-heritage Oktoberfest identity — shapes a dynamic and evolving therapy culture.
