Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Life can feel overwhelming at times, leaving you feeling disconnected, uncertain, or stretched thin. I provide a space where you can slow down and explore what’s happening beneath the surface. Therapy can help uncover the ways we have been coping and the patterns of behaviour that we continue to use.
I work with people who are struggling with trauma, including sexual assault, childhood abuse and family estrangement. I also work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, perfectionism, relationship concerns, chronic illness/chronic pain, issues with self-worth and grief/loss. I also hold space for individuals who are going through all the life transitions that we go through from our late teens to 40s.
I believe healing happens through connection and safety. Together, we’ll gently explore the beliefs, patterns, and experiences that have shaped you—especially those formed early in life. By understanding their roots, you can begin to reconnect with your authentic self and your body’s wisdom. My approach is warm, collaborative and honest. I am genuinely interested in what is going on for my clients and will wade through the messiness that is life with you.
In our work together, I focus on the mind-body connection within a trauma-informed, client-centred space. We’ll process experiences, build insight, and develop practical tools for navigating life’s challenges, supporting meaningful, lasting change. I pull from Adlerian Therapy, Internal Family Systems, EMDR and somatic approaches to understand my client’s world.
If this resonates with you, and you’re ready to take the next step toward your growth and well-being, reach out to book a free consultation or initial session. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you in your healing journey.

Meredith Bailey - Redefining Relationships
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, MACP, RP
Life can move fast – sometimes faster than we can make sense of. A relationship ends, a family grows, work starts to go downhill. Sometimes there’s no single turning point—just a growing sense of feeling lost or that something needs to change.
You may be trying to understand a recurring relationship pattern, adjusting to parenthood, grieving a loss, or looking for more room to be yourself. You don’t need a neatly defined problem to bring to therapy.
Our work begins with understanding your experience: what feels difficult, what matters to you, and what you hope might be different. I bring curiosity, clinical training, and a down-to-earth approach. You bring knowledge of your own life. Together, we can make space for honest conversations, explore patterns, and consider changes that fit your circumstances.
I offer therapy for individuals and couples aged 18 and older, with in-person appointments in Burlington and virtual sessions for clients in Ontario and British Columbia. I am registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and a member of the Canadian Counselling & Psychotherapy Association.
My new-client consultation appointments are 30 minutes long, giving you ample opportunity to ask questions, talk about what you need, and see how it feels to connect with me. I call it a “vibe check”—there’s value in taking time to find someone you feel comfortable speaking openly with.

Melinda Freitas
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RCC, CCS
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) offering trauma-informed therapy to clients. Whatever you are struggling with, I provide a safe and authentic space to help you heal and move forward. Further, I fully recognize that your past experiences can quietly shape how you navigate the world today. Knowing that healing is a non-linear process, my goal is to provide the right guidance and support to help you make meaningful progress at your own pace. I am also a Canadian Clinical Supervisor (CCS), providing supervision to clinicians across the province.

Manisha Grewal
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (Hons), MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Do you tend to replay past events in your mind over and over, and spiral into worries about the future? Do you struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, or relationships, causing you to "overgive" to others while abandoning your own needs? Many people describe feeling like they’re moving through life on autopilot — weighed down by overthinking, low mood, or the pressure to keep everyone else happy. You might notice people-pleasing tendencies, difficulty maintaining boundaries, or a pattern of overgiving that leaves you drained, ungrounded, and disconnected from yourself. Here, you’ll find a warm, calm space where your feelings are validated and your voice genuinely matters. Together, we’ll engage in meaningful, deep processing work, explore what's fuelling your distress, and gently uncover the deeper experiences and patterns shaping your emotional world. Alongside this, we’ll build practical tools to regulate your nervous system and ease your symptoms in the present, helping you reconnect with a more empowered, resilient, and self-aware version of yourself. I bring the richness of three cultures, four languages, and the lived experience of being both a first- and third-generation immigrant. My background in the medical field also allows me to integrate physiological and psychological insight. These parts of who I am allow me to deeply empathize with the immigrant journey across generations, as well as the ways culture, family expectations, and identity can shape mental health. No matter your background or story, I aim to meet you with genuine understanding, respect, and compassion. I am a proud ally to LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC communities and offer inclusive, compassionate care for all backgrounds and lived experiences. If what I’ve shared resonates, we may be a good fit. If you're curious about working together, let's start with a free, no-pressure 30-min video consultation, where we can connect and chat in a calm, relaxed space.
