Mary Mikhail
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BSW, MACP, RSW
Sometimes the ways we learned to cope helped us through difficult moments, but later can leave us feeling stuck. If you’re carrying painful experiences, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, or finding that addiction has become difficult to manage, therapy can be a place to make sense of what’s happening without judgment.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. We can explore how past experiences may connect with present challenges while building skills that support you in everyday life. You don’t need to know exactly where to start—we can begin with what feels most important to you.

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.

Pamela Mekuz
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Q)
Sometimes we know something isn't quite right, but struggle to put into words what we're feeling or what needs to change. You might feel overwhelmed, stuck in familiar patterns, or exhausted from trying to manage everything on your own. I bring warmth, curiosity, and compassion to my work, along with a genuine interest in understanding what makes your experience unique. Together, we can explore what's keeping you stuck, gain new perspectives, and develop practical strategies to help you create meaningful change. I work with a nonprofit organization that provides free virtual counselling. If you've been considering therapy, I'd love the opportunity to connect and explore how I might support you.

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.
