Gui Mansilla
Registered Psychotherapist, Lawyer (Arg) M.Div (USA) Reg. Psychotherapist (CA) Coach (Ca)
From my earliest years, a deep-seated commitment to justice took root in me, sparked by the passion of a Harvard-educated lawyer portrayed by Barry Newman in the television series Petrocelli. This attorney, forsaking the allure of Wall Street wealth, dedicated himself to serving the voiceless and underserved, often for a symbolic one-dollar fee. This childhood inspiration propelled me to pursue a legal career at the University of Buenos Aires to become a criminal lawyer at the age of 22. Although my professional journey led me through roles as an actor and ordained minister, culminating in my current roles as a psychotherapist and coach, I never strayed from my passion to protect the innocent and champion justice whenever needed.
Over the last few decades, I have intentionally immersed myself in the realm of domestic violence and abuse, driven by a conviction that, while understanding the roots of such actions in the trauma and pain of the perpetrators, we must stand firm to halt the cycle of violence and protect the victims. Though navigating this work while victims are still ensnared within the power dynamics of abuse is delicate and perilous, it brings extraordinary fulfillment to assist someone in breaking free. In rare cases, I've had the privilege of aiding abusers in turning their lives around.
Given my background as a criminal lawyer, minister, and specialized psychotherapist, it is my profound honour to support those in need, guiding them to break free from the grips of abuse and use their traumatic experiences as a catapult toward a life of fulfillment, freedom, and empowerment. The journey from victimization to liberation is undoubtedly treacherous and delicate, yet it stands as one of the most fulfilling paths one can take when breaking free from any form of abuse or violence.
Please don't hesitate to reach out, knowing that I stand ready to be in your corner, offering suggestions and guidance on how to avoid further harm and, ultimately, emerge free from the shackles of abuse or violence.

Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
You're living through one of life's most painful and dangerous experiences. Before anything else, you need to feel truly heard, believed, and validated—not questioned or judged. Once we've established that safety, we'll create a practical plan to protect you moving forward, whether you're ready to leave or still figuring out your next step. Then, when you're ready, we'll gently explore how past trauma shaped the beliefs that made this relationship possible—the ways you learned to minimize yourself, doubt your reality, or accept the unacceptable. Healing is possible. Safety is possible. You deserve both, and I'll support every step forward.

Shannon MacGregor
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, RTC, MTC, RCS, NARM Therapist
Domestic Abuse or Violence is any act carried out with the intention of physically or emotionally harming another person who is in relationship. The purpose of all abuse is to control the victim’s behavior by inducing fear to gain power and control. If you have been subjected to abuse in your life, your nervous system is likely still activated and we can work through your trauma responses to help you self regulate and manage your relationship with the abuser.
