Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
If your body is still feeling uncomfortable, agitated, or activated despite years of therapy and self-work, you're in the right place.
If you've already made the connection that some of your physical symptoms are probably stress related, you're well along your way. Once you've identified that, then there are ways that you can learn to work with your nervous system to start moving in a better direction.
I collaborate with intelligent, caring and curious humans to help them learn how to settle their nervous systems and resolve stress-related issues they may be contending with, ranging from digestive issues to anxiety attacks, nervous tics to emotional flares.

Zonaira Chaudhry
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist MSW, RSW
Are you feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? As a therapist specializing in DBT and integrative approaches, I help clients transform overwhelming emotions, unhelpful behaviours, and relationship challenges into opportunities for growth and authentic living.
Drawing from evidence-based methods (DBT, CBT, ACT, and EFT), I provide practical tools while honouring your unique journey. In our work together, you'll find a compassionate, judgment-free space where all experiences are welcome even the complicated ones.
I specialize in helping clients who are ready to explore new ways of living while acknowledging that their past coping strategies made sense for their journey. Together, we'll build the meaningful, balanced life you envision.

Shelley Murphy, Food & Body Image Hypnotherapist
Hypnotherapist, BASc, Former RD
I believe that meaningful change doesn’t come from forcing or fixing yourself, it comes from understanding yourself more deeply, and learning how to work with your mind and body, rather than against them. In my work as a clinical hypnotherapist, I often meet people who are capable, thoughtful, and self-aware, yet feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, overthinking, emotional eating, or self-doubt. These patterns can feel frustrating, especially when you’ve “tried everything” to change them. What I’ve seen, time and time again, is that real, lasting change happens when we gently access the deeper parts of the mind where these patterns are held. This is where hypnotherapy can be incredibly effective; supporting you to shift not just how you think, but how you feel, respond, and experience yourself day to day.
