Accepting New Clients
Feeling like your mind doesn't slow down, no matter how hard you try? Maybe you're overwhelmed, burnt out, or stuck in patterns you're not sure how to step out of, or navigating ADHD, anxiety, grief, or chronic health challenges without knowing where to turn. Maybe you're trying to understand yourself more clearly, or figure out how to move forward in a way that actually feels sustainable.
Together, we can slow things down, build insight, and help you feel more grounded and confident day-to-day. We'll start with a free consultation call.
I work with individuals 16+ from diverse backgrounds, including 2SLGBTQA+ and neurodivergent communities, as well as those living with chronic illness or disability. Currently completing my Master's degree, I offer a space that is affirming, compassionate, and non-judgmental. Somewhere you can show up without the mask.
My approach draws on CBT, ACT, DBT, ERP, and trauma-informed, mindfulness-based practices. I support clients with anxiety, burnout, OCD and phobias, ADHD, grief, life transitions, women's health, and chronic health concerns. Sessions adapt to you, with a focus on connection, emotional regulation, and practical strategies that fit your real life.

Masha Andreeva
Registered Psychotherapist, HonBA, DTATI, RP
I am an Art Therapist specializing in trauma-informed, holistic, and creative approaches to therapy. My practice is rooted in reconnection—to yourself, your body, nature, and the present moment. I offer a safe and supportive space where you can explore your inner world, process emotions, and move beyond limiting patterns toward deeper self-understanding and fulfillment.
Drawing from over two decades of experience in psychology, meditation, yoga, art therapy, music, and shamanic practices, I integrate psychotherapy, art therapy, mindfulness, and culturally sensitive modalities to help you cultivate balance and self-awareness. My work is deeply informed by my studies in meditation, yoga, music as medicine, and my time learning from mestizo healers in the Amazon.
I believe in the power of creativity—the art-making process can facilitate deep emotional processing and insight. Many of my clients find that working with symbols and creative expression allows them to navigate trauma in a way that feels intuitive, safe, and meaningful.
With a gentle yet deep, structured yet intuitive approach, I support clients—often those processing childhood trauma—as they reconnect with their unique truth. Whether you are navigating life transitions, seeking emotional clarity, or longing to reclaim your authentic self, I am here to guide and support you.
Let’s begin this journey together. Reach out to explore how we can work toward growth and transformation.

Ferzana Jamani
Counsellor/Therapist, BA, RTC
I want you to know me beyond my credentials. I grew up feeling invisible and inadequate, struggling with anxiety and low mood, and limiting beliefs that tainted my relationships. It took volunteering and self-reflection to recognize my own worth and seek help. It was a journey of healing for me too, as I confronted my insecurities and found connection and purpose and my dedication in serving others. Now, as a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, I’m committed to guiding you with care and compassion. Therapy with me consists of transpersonal and somatic techniques focusing on your growth, emotional experiences and connecting your body and mind. Together we will explore your inner emotional experiences to help you repair the pain you have experienced and support you in feeling seen, heard and ultimately thrive, honouring your pace and vulnerabilities every step of the way.
I offer personalized sessions to address your unique needs, fostering insight and resilience. In a safe and supportive space, I provide active listening and empathy to build trust. Equipping you with tools for stress management, communication, and self-esteem, we navigate challenges together. Taking the first step toward therapy can be transformative; I invite you to schedule a FREE introductory consultation. Let’s unlock your potential and create positive change, empowering you to embrace the life you deserve.
