Samira Gholami
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Being a woman can involve navigating complex expectations, responsibilities, and relationships while trying to maintain a strong sense of your own identity. Perhaps you're balancing career ambitions with family responsibilities, struggling to establish healthy boundaries, experiencing relationship difficulties, or feeling pressure to meet everyone else's needs before your own. You may find yourself questioning your worth, feeling emotionally exhausted, or wondering when you'll finally have space to focus on what matters most to you.
As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC), I offer compassionate, affordable counselling for women navigating emotional challenges, relationship concerns, self-esteem difficulties, and significant life changes. My experience in community mental health, family support, and psychoeducation has strengthened my understanding of how personal experiences, social expectations, and family relationships can influence women's mental health and well-being.
My approach combines person-centred counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed principles to create a supportive environment where you can explore your experiences openly, without judgment or pressure to meet someone else's expectations.
I recognize that women's experiences are diverse and can be shaped by cultural identity, family traditions, gender-related expectations, relationships, and personal circumstances. Whether you're navigating relationship conflict, struggling with people-pleasing, adjusting to changes in family roles, or working toward greater independence, your individual experiences and values will guide our work together.
My professional development in Gender-Based Analysis Plus (GBA+) has also strengthened my awareness of how gender and intersecting aspects of identity can influence personal experiences, opportunities, and well-being.
Together, we can explore ways to strengthen your confidence, establish healthier boundaries, improve communication, develop emotional resilience, and reconnect with your individual needs, strengths, and aspirations.
You deserve relationships where your voice is valued, choices that reflect your authentic self, and opportunities to prioritize your own well-being without guilt.
I offer affordable counselling in English and Farsi and would welcome the opportunity to support you in building greater self-understanding, emotional balance, and confidence as you navigate life's challenges on your own terms.

Pre-Licensed Professional, BPHE, MRE, MACP
Thankfully we have a fuller picture now. Women hold systemic and cultural roles that may or may not "feel right, fair, or ok" to hold. Sometimes women can be left questioning themselves and working on "being a better wife, mother, daughter, caregiver, etc. when in fact they need permission to look at things from a broader perspective, find their voice, feel freedom, and then choose who they want to be from that place. Layered into all of this is our bodies, our rage, and expectations culture places on how we can move and express ourselves. I can listen, I can support, and help you tap into your own wisdom.

Manupriya Mehra
Licensed Professional Counsellor, (RTC)(ACCT), C.HypTM -Trauma Specialist, B.A., M.A. Psychology ( India)
Women often face unique emotional challenges related to relationships, caregiving roles, life transitions, identity, and personal expectations. These experiences can create stress, emotional exhaustion, and a sense of imbalance. I offer a compassionate and supportive space where women can speak openly and feel understood without judgment.
My approach focuses on emotional wellbeing, self-worth, boundary setting, and personal empowerment. Through gentle counselling and reflective support, women are guided toward greater clarity, confidence, and balance while honoring their individual life journeys.

Kristen Bailey Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Masters of Arts Counselling Psychology
I am a cis gender woman myself and have worked mostly with women in my private practice. There are certain issues that do affect us personally- societal pressures and oppression history, hormones, expectations from ourselves and others that keep us stuck.

Melinda Freitas
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RCC, CCS
Traditionally research, healthcare and mental health care lacked focus on women's issues, but thankfully the times have changed on this! I support women or anyone identifying as a woman, providing the gender-affirming space and compassionate-care to explore the unique psychological, biological, and societal challenges that we face. My approaches in this work are deeply rooted in compassion, mindfulness, self-care and through a feminist-lens, recognizing that a woman's mental health is shaped by cultural expectations, systemic pressures, and hormonal transitions such as PMDD, perimenopause and menopause.

Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
Women’s emotional and mental health concerns can show up in many ways, including pressure to meet expectations, difficulty setting boundaries, burnout from carrying too much for others, self-worth and self-confidence struggles, marriage and relationship struggles, or navigating life transitions and identity shifts. You may feel disconnected from your body, intuition, or sense of inner strength while trying to balance roles, responsibilities, and personal needs. I work somatically, trauma-informed, and with the nervous system, inner child, and energy field in mind to support deeper healing from patterns that have been carried in the nervous system and body. My focus is compassionate, root-cause healing that helps you reconnect with your authentic self, your voice, truth, inner wisdom, and intuition.
