Kevin Jones
Psychologist, MACP
Kevin’s path to becoming a therapist wasn’t a straight line—it was a discovery of who he truly is and how he wants to contribute to the world. He initially followed the direction his parents encouraged, completing an undergraduate degree in psychology before moving into law. As a lawyer in a full-service firm, he found himself drawn not to the adversarial side of the work, but to the problem-solving, collaboration, and human connection that naturally unfolded when helping clients navigate difficult decisions.
Over time, Kevin realized that the parts of law he loved most—listening, understanding, and working together toward solutions—were exactly the pieces that aligned with his values and strengths. He began to ask himself how can I make this the whole job? That question ultimately led him back to psychology, where a collaborative, solution-focused approach could become the foundation of his work. Therapy, he realized, was where he could fully lean into who he is: calm, thoughtful, curious, and deeply oriented toward helping people move forward with clarity.
Kevin’s shift into couples counselling grew naturally out of his experience in divorce law. He often saw relationships break down not because of a lack of love, but because communication had eroded long before either partner sought help. Witnessing this was disheartening—it highlighted how many couples were struggling without support and how preventable many of those ruptures could have been.
As a therapist, Kevin now has the opportunity to be on the other side of that process. Couples counselling allows him to help partners strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and rediscover connection before the relationship reaches a breaking point. It’s meaningful work that aligns with both his professional insight and his personal desire to help people stay connected rather than fall apart.
Today, Kevin brings the best of both worlds—his background in psychology and his experience in law—into a grounded, practical, and deeply human therapeutic style. He is committed to creating a space where individuals and couples can understand themselves, improve their relationships, and navigate life’s complexities with confidence.

Vanessa Gear
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Is your child or teen feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, ADHD, school challenges, or difficulty managing big emotions? Perhaps learning differences, neurodivergence, family conflict, or life transitions are creating stress at home or school. I work with children, teens, adults, and families who want a supportive space to better understand these challenges. Together, we focus on building emotional regulation, confidence, coping skills, and stronger relationships so clients feel more capable, understood, and supported in their daily lives.
I specialize in supporting children, teens, and families navigating ADHD, autism (ASD), anxiety, school issues, learning challenges, and life transitions. Using CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and experiential approaches, including play-based techniques, I help clients strengthen emotional regulation, build coping skills, and develop greater confidence and resilience
Behind every behaviour is a story waiting to be heard. If you or your child feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck, therapy can provide a supportive space to slow down and make sense of what’s happening. Together we’ll explore strengths, build practical tools, and create meaningful change so you can move forward with greater confidence and connection.

Dr. Ashwin Mehra
Psychologist, PhD, CPsych
Growth and healing are choices we can make. If you are reading this, you have already taken an important first step. You may be wondering whether therapy can help you take the next ones. Those steps might lead toward relief from distress, clearer direction, healthier relationships, better emotional regulation, insight into long-standing patterns, healing from the past, or movement toward meaningful personal goals. Each person begins therapy with unique hopes and expectations. My role is to support you in moving toward what matters most to you.
I offer an integrative, individualized approach to therapy rather than a one-size-fits-all model. I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from St. John’s University in New York City through an integrative program that emphasized both depth and breadth of training. My clinical experience in New York and Toronto has provided me with extensive exposure to diverse populations and a wide range of psychological concerns. I work across the lifespan from children, adolescents, adults, to seniors and provide individual, couples, family, group, and parenting therapy, depending on what best fits a client’s needs. I have also conducted comprehensive psychological assessments evaluating cognitive functioning, personality structure, learning disabilities, and emotional or behavioral concerns. This breadth of experience allows me to approach each case with nuance, balance, and clinical depth. Please call for a free consultation!
