Kristen See
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
I am a relaxed and relatable psychotherapist who specializes in BPD, ADHD, PMDD, and trauma. Often my clients struggle with emotion regulation, impulse control, perfectionism, procrastination, relationship conflict, frequent episodes of burn out, deep feelings of anger and/or shame, body image, and chronic health conditions like PMOS (formally PCOS) or perimenopause.
I'm trained in a variety of evidence-based techniques, including CBT, DBT, and ACT. I also draw inspiration from emotion-focused therapy, somatic practices, mindfulness, and inner child / "parts" work.
I'm passionate about education and believe that knowledge is power; I'm always keen to provide psychoeducation and help women not only understand their brains, bodies, and hormones, but also learn how to self-advocate at work, in healthcare and beyond.

**2026: ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS**
Are you looking for a trauma therapist in Ontario or an experienced anxiety therapist who understands how overwhelming life can feel? Whether you're struggling with trauma, anxiety, panic attacks, chronic stress, childhood experiences, relationship challenges, or feeling "stuck," you don't have to navigate it alone.
Alexis Bergeron, MSW, BSW, is a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist providing virtual therapy across Ontario for teens (12+) and adults. She specializes in helping people recover from trauma, PTSD, anxiety disorders, panic attacks, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions using evidence-based therapy tailored to each client's unique needs.
Alexis believes healing begins with feeling safe. Therapy isn't about being told what to do- it's about working together to understand your experiences, calm your nervous system, develop practical coping skills, and build a life that feels meaningful again. Whether you've experienced a single traumatic event, childhood trauma, ongoing stress, or simply feel exhausted by anxiety, Alexis provides a compassionate, supportive space where lasting change can happen.
Alexis holds both a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) and Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Windsor. She has over six years of experience supporting individuals through mental health challenges in community mental health, eating disorder treatment, bereavement and hospice care, long-term care, and private practice.
She has completed advanced training in several evidence-based therapies, including:
* Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (**EMDR**) Therapy
* Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (**CBT**)
* Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (**DBT**)
* Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (**ACT**)
* Motivational Interviewing (**MI**)

* Stress & Burnout
* Depression
* Grief & Loss
* Relationship Challenges
* Self-Esteem & Confidence
* Emotional Regulation

What Therapy May Look Like
Every person is different, which is why Alexis creates individualized treatment plans rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions may include:
* Processing traumatic memories through EMDR Therapy
* Understanding how trauma affects the brain and nervous system
* Learning practical CBT strategies to change unhelpful thought patterns
* Building distress tolerance and emotion regulation using DBT skills
* Reducing anxiety and panic symptoms
* Increasing self-compassion and confidence
* Strengthening healthy relationships and boundaries
* Developing coping strategies you can use between sessions
Clients often describe Alexis as warm, approachable, genuine, and easy to talk to. She believes therapy should feel collaborative, not intimidating, and strives to create a space where clients feel understood without judgment.
Outside of work, Alexis enjoys spending time with her husband and two children, walking her dog, trying new recipes, and spending time outdoors. She understands the realities of balancing work, family, stress, and everyday life, and brings that understanding into her work with clients.

Ivana Stanic Counselling & Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, RSW, MSW
Are you and your partner caught in the same arguments, feeling disconnected, reactive, or emotionally shut down? Or maybe you’re noticing these patterns within yourself. Small disagreements may escalate quickly, one partner may withdraw while the other pursues, or you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, or alone even within relationships that matter deeply to you. Often, trauma and attachment wounds shape the way we experience conflict, closeness, and emotional safety. Together, we work to slow these cycles, better understand what’s underneath them, and build healthier communication, emotional regulation, and more secure connection.

Markham is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities in North America outside of East Asia, with a majority Chinese population and a significant South Asian minority, creating a therapy community with unusually strong demand for Mandarin-, Cantonese-, and Punjabi-speaking practitioners. The city is a major technology hub — home to Canadian headquarters for IBM, Apple, and dozens of other multinationals — generating consistent demand for therapists who work with high-performance workplace stress, burnout, and the particular identity pressures of first-generation professionals navigating career expectations between cultures. Markham Stouffville Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while many residents also access care through the broader Toronto metro therapy ecosystem. Help-seeking stigma in some East Asian communities remains an important context for therapists, who often find themselves helping clients normalize therapy alongside the clinical work.
