Ps. I Love You Psychotherapy Inc.
Registered Psychotherapist, HBEd, MA (Hons.), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
They say our greatest weakness lies in giving up! We have all been there. I decided that if life was going to be difficult, I would become its greatest “warrior” and teach others to do the same. Too often we use our armour to hide our inner selves, rather than see it as our strength which only comes from taking a risk, facing our fears, taking a step forward, and learning that every battle is won with wisdom. I am here to empower you to take that chance on yourself — your mind is a powerful force, but you are its master.
Through various forms of therapy, one can explore different perspectives, coping skills, and motivators to establish better relationships; self-esteem and self-direction; deal with complicated family or couple dynamics; face a significant crisis or transition; manage substance use or addiction; and collaboratively make cognitive and behavioral changes to better emotional, mental, and even physical health!

New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
We are a team of Registered Psychotherapists and Social Workers who specialize in supporting individuals through effective and research backed trauma, relationship, and sex therapy.
We began as a trauma focused clinic - our team has a solid understanding of the countless small and large ways that trauma impacts us. We work with traumatic stress and related difficulties such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD and complexPTSD), addiction, self-harm, and suicide ideation. We support survivors of sexual violence as well as those who have experienced emotional and physical abuse, criminal victimization, bullying, war, and near death experiences.
We've found that as people heal, relationships and intimacy naturally becomes a secondary focus. For this reason we offer family, couples, and sex therapy. We support individuals of all gender and sexual identities and relationship structures.
We respect diversity and differences in opinions, values and attitudes. This is reflected through individualized treatment plans which consider each individuals lived and generational experiences. We strive to provide culturally-sensitive, non-discriminatory, and affirming care to culturally diverse populations and BIPOC, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, kink and polyamorous communities.
Our goal is to help you break free from your past and rediscover a fulfilling life filled with joy and connection.

Jess Erb
Registered Psychotherapist, DPsychotherapy
I work from a Relational Psychodynamic and Integrative framework, making sure that we find a therapeutic framework that fits you and your unique needs.
When you see me you won't be seeing an overly clinical or 'removed' therapist, but rather a real person who meets you just as you are. I am warm, empathic, and non-judgmental - providing an environment that is safe so that you can explore all concerns and distress that have brought you to therapy.
I believe that anyone, regardless of class, sexuality, gender, race/ethinicity is valuable and deserves the best care I can give them. I would be honoured to work with you! Check out my website centredself.ca for more info.
I am taking new clients and have a great team of psychotherapists who are also here to help, including our new reduced cost therapy program. Message today for a free 20-min consultation for us to find a fit that suits you!

We all need someone to talk to, to help us through difficult times. Whether we have overwhelming issues in the present, or traumas from the past, we need someone to help us make sense of them and to stick with us through hard times. We need to know we matter.

Adrienne Sharma-Richardson PhD MEd RP OCT
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Gestalt Psychotherapist Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Gottman Trained Couples Therapist
As a gestalt psychotherapist, who pairs gestalt training with somatic experiencing I can help support you in healing from your trauma.
No one in the Niagara Region utilizes the combination of these therapies and applies them to working with couples in crisis. Gottman (couples) and Post Induction Therapy training (relational/developmental trauma)
I am sorry to say but popular approaches to healing trauma like CBT will provide only temporary relief at best.
If you want to get to the root of your trauma and heal somatic experiencing (SE) is what you need and when supported with the power of relational gestalt therapy you will shift your shit!
SE focuses on regulating your nervous system.
With SE work trauma responses are completed and energy is released back into the system and with this the resolution and disappearance of physical complaints, including headaches, digestive problems, and pain syndromes can be resolved, and emotional regulation can be restored.
I will teach you how to work with your stress response - the body's innate alarm system in response to a perceived danger, also called the "Fight or Flight" response.
It is highly adaptive to danger and human survival when threats are physical, but less so when threats are psychological, or imaginary, among other somatic and relational skills.
I have been trained under Dr Abi Blakeslee part of Dr Peter A Levine's legacy group out of California for Somatic Experiencing and the late great Dr Bud Feder the author of Beyond the Hot Seat was on my dissertation committee overseeing a phenomenological study of the effectiveness of a gestalt therapy group I created to reduce stress in working informal caregivers of the elderly. I named the group process Stressed WOW (We Overloaded with Work).
Gestalt therapy is an extremely complex psychotherapy, too complex to describe in this short space.
The power of its effectiveness can only be experienced.
Most present day therapies have stolen bits and pieces of its praxis.
Get the whole again with a holistic, here and now, experiential therapy.
I am here for you... I've got your six!

Kacper Kalin
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, MTh
Since embarking on my training in psychotherapy in 2003, I have continually encountered evidence reaffirming the crucial role of the therapeutic relationship in facilitating positive outcomes. Together, we can establish and nurture a trusting therapeutic alliance, where your feelings and thoughts are not only valued but also progressively understood with increasing accuracy and awareness. This holds true for both individuals and couples seeking therapy.
