Ashley Bargent Coaching & Counselling
Registered Social Worker, Associate Certified Coach, ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider MSW, RSW, ACC, ADHD-CCSP
Work is draining the joy from your life. Your confidence is dropping and you’re not sure about this career anymore. Every workday, it’s harder to get out of bed. You’ve considered changing jobs but are scared you’re the problem. The idea of change feels overwhelming because you overthink and don’t know where to start. You long for a job where your strengths will shine and you can live up to your potential. But you aren’t sure if you’ll ever find a place where you belong, especially if you’re grappling with ADHD.

Renee Chu
Registered Psychotherapist, Hon. BA., RP
Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, struggling with ADHD, anxiety, trauma, grief, or emotional regulation? Do intense emotions or communication challenges make it hard to build the connections you want? With compassion and curiosity, I invite you to explore the roots of recurring patterns so you can achieve lasting change and emotional well-being. What you need matters, and you don't have to face any of this alone.
As a BIPOC, trauma-informed therapist, I bring experience working with neurodivergence, complex relationships, challenging family dynamics, and narcissistic abuse recovery. I use a bicultural and mindfulness-based approach, drawing from CBT, DBT, IFS, psychodynamic, existential, person-centered, and narrative frameworks to tailor care to your goals. My practice is rooted in a lifelong interest in the interplay between our shared humanity and individual uniqueness, and I believe meaningful change is possible when you feel truly safe, heard, and seen.
I work with a gentle, validating style. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, to struggle, or to heal. Together we can explore entrenched patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and work through the barriers affecting your well-being and relationships. I tailor therapy to personal growth, healing, and identity exploration through culturally responsive, collaborative care, and I encourage you to be kind to yourself throughout the process.
I offer a complimentary 50-minute online consultation so we can get to know each other and explore whether we are a good fit. Reduced fees are available based on need. Reach out by phone or email, and let's take that first step together.

Azin Heydari
Registered Psychotherapist, RP; MA
I work alongside you on this self-exploratory journey, not only showing curiosity about the thoughts that shape your emotional world but also the nervous system patterns held in your body. Real change occurs when the mind and body begin communicating differently, and I will collaborate with you to explore this process with care, curiosity, and evidence-based tools. My approach is warm, relational, and grounded in trauma-informed methods that create space for deep emotional work at a pace that feels safe. If you’re ready to understand your patterns, reconnect with yourself, and find lasting relief—not quick fixes—I am here to support your healing through this process.

Sanofer Ansari
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MACP
Therapy, to me, is a space where you don’t have to have everything figured out or carry everything on your own. It is a place to pause, feel heard, understand what you’re experiencing, and gently make sense of what may have been difficult to express or process. My approach is trauma-informed and emotion-focused, recognizing that our emotions, relationships, past experiences, and cultural backgrounds all shape how we navigate life. I aim to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can feel understood, reconnect with yourself, and move toward greater self-awareness, emotional well-being, and meaningful change.
