**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.

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.

Moeez Munshi
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Qualifying, Clinical Intern
I offer online therapy to adults across Ontario that’s practical, warm, and easy to fit into a busy week. We’ll start by mapping your story and goals, then build a clear plan together—useful if you’re navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, identity questions, or men’s issues. My style blends evidence-based tools (CBT, ACT, and DBT-informed skills) with a humanistic, person-centred stance so you get both skills and depth, not one or the other. My background in training/coaching means sessions come with concrete steps between appointments and regular check-ins on progress. If you prefer face-to-face, I also see clients in person in Durham.

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.

Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you constantly feel on edge or overwhelmed? Many of us grow up learning to push down our thoughts and feelings. We may have been told our anger is unacceptable, sadness is a weakness, or vulnerability should be avoided. However, these emotions are natural and valuable to personal growth and self-understanding. It is what we do with these feelings when they show up that makes all the difference. Together, we can process your experiences with the intention, so you can be more in control and feel lighter. You feel things deeply for a reason, let’s explore why and what now.

Richmond Hill is a rapidly growing Toronto suburb in York Region with a majority Chinese population in many of its newer residential developments, alongside significant South Asian and Middle Eastern communities, creating strong demand for Mandarin-, Cantonese-, and Farsi-speaking therapists who can work within East Asian and Iranian cultural frameworks. The city's affluent suburban character and proximity to Toronto's tech and finance economy create a population with both the means and motivation to seek therapy, though help-seeking stigma in some East Asian and Middle Eastern communities remains a consideration. Mackenzie Health provides institutional mental health resources, with many residents also accessing the broader Greater Toronto Area therapy ecosystem. Richmond Hill's fast growth and relatively new development mean community ties can be shallow, and therapists frequently address social isolation and the challenge of belonging in a transient suburban environment.
