Vanessa Gear
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Is your child or teen feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, ADHD, school challenges, or difficulty managing big emotions? Perhaps learning differences, neurodivergence, family conflict, or life transitions are creating stress at home or school. I work with children, teens, adults, and families who want a supportive space to better understand these challenges. Together, we focus on building emotional regulation, confidence, coping skills, and stronger relationships so clients feel more capable, understood, and supported in their daily lives.
I specialize in supporting children, teens, and families navigating ADHD, autism (ASD), anxiety, school issues, learning challenges, and life transitions. Using CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and experiential approaches, including play-based techniques, I help clients strengthen emotional regulation, build coping skills, and develop greater confidence and resilience
Behind every behaviour is a story waiting to be heard. If you or your child feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck, therapy can provide a supportive space to slow down and make sense of what’s happening. Together we’ll explore strengths, build practical tools, and create meaningful change so you can move forward with greater confidence and connection.

Mikyla Bergman
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC
Let's talk ADHD!
Are you newly diagnosed ADHD? or an experienced hyperactive/ inattentive brain? I focus on working with and understanding the ADHD brain, looking at the challenges, strategies and differences of living with ADHD in a neurotypical world- let's get into it!
I believe in a person-centered approach that provides unique, tailored support for each individual. My goal is to work collaboratively with you, gaining a deep understanding of your challenges, experiences, goals, and emotions. In addition to fostering emotional well-being, I incorporate strategies to enhance executive functioning skills—such as organization, time management, and emotional regulation—to support overall life balance and daily functioning. This approach is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing overwhelm, ADHD, anxiety, or depression, as it strengthens key life skills that promote resilience and personal growth.

Samuele Bariani
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP
Hi! My name is Samuele and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and Clinical Supervisor with The College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I am fluent in English and Italian and I can speak functional Spanish. With over 9 years of experience, I support individuals, couples, and families who are seeking meaningful change and healing in their lives. My work focuses on helping people navigate life’s challenges, reconnect with their strengths, and move toward a greater sense of peace and wholeness. Often, our journey toward healing begins when we pause to reflect on the experiences that have shaped us – especially the moments where we may have felt shame, alienation, or fragmentation. In therapy, we create space to gently explore these stories, fostering understanding, compassion, and the possibility for growth and transformation.
If you feel ready, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your healing journey.
I also provide supervision to therapists and students who are looking to strengthen their confidence and competence in their clinical work.
In my free time, I enjoy hiking, cooking, exploring the beauty of nature in every season, reading, travelling, and connecting with others.
