Robert M. Lee
Registered Psychotherapist
You feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, anxiety, or self-doubt, struggling to trust yourself or move forward. Maybe past wounds linger, creative blocks hold you back, or the pressure to perform—on stage, in relationships, or within yourself—feels exhausting. You may have glimpsed deeper awareness through dreams, meditation, or spirituality but find it hard to integrate. My approach blends Zen, Taoism, and Jungian analysis with mindfulness, depth psychology, and somatic awareness to help you uncover unconscious patterns, build self-trust, and reconnect with clarity and purpose. Change isn’t about forcing yourself forward but understanding what holds you back—allowing transformation to happen naturally.

Adrienne Sharma-Richardson PhD MEd RP OCT
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Gestalt Psychotherapist Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Gottman Trained Couples Therapist
As a gestalt psychotherapist, who pairs gestalt training with somatic experiencing I can help support you in healing from your trauma.
No one in the Niagara Region utilizes the combination of these therapies and applies them to working with couples in crisis. Gottman (couples) and Post Induction Therapy training (relational/developmental trauma)
I am sorry to say but popular approaches to healing trauma like CBT will provide only temporary relief at best.
If you want to get to the root of your trauma and heal somatic experiencing (SE) is what you need and when supported with the power of relational gestalt therapy you will shift your shit!
SE focuses on regulating your nervous system.
With SE work trauma responses are completed and energy is released back into the system and with this the resolution and disappearance of physical complaints, including headaches, digestive problems, and pain syndromes can be resolved, and emotional regulation can be restored.
I will teach you how to work with your stress response - the body's innate alarm system in response to a perceived danger, also called the "Fight or Flight" response.
It is highly adaptive to danger and human survival when threats are physical, but less so when threats are psychological, or imaginary, among other somatic and relational skills.
I have been trained under Dr Abi Blakeslee part of Dr Peter A Levine's legacy group out of California for Somatic Experiencing and the late great Dr Bud Feder the author of Beyond the Hot Seat was on my dissertation committee overseeing a phenomenological study of the effectiveness of a gestalt therapy group I created to reduce stress in working informal caregivers of the elderly. I named the group process Stressed WOW (We Overloaded with Work).
Gestalt therapy is an extremely complex psychotherapy, too complex to describe in this short space.
The power of its effectiveness can only be experienced.
Most present day therapies have stolen bits and pieces of its praxis.
Get the whole again with a holistic, here and now, experiential therapy.
I am here for you... I've got your six!

I am a Registered Social Worker in BC and Ontario with ten years of experience practicing psychotherapy. I am a queer, cis female settler of Ukrainian and French descent. My practice is informed by my anti-oppressive, anti-racist and intersectional feminist values.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Gibson & Associates is a collective of therapists who offer specialized services to meet your needs. From trauma therapy, to work with grief and spirituality, to skills based therapies with youth and adults, our team members hold their own practice areas for you benefit.
People seek psychotherapy for a number of reasons; most often, in hope of gaining support through a new challenge, life transition, or difficulties from the past. Whatever is bringing you to our page, we are happy to help you with. We firmly believe that every person has the innate ability to cope with the challenges in their lives, but sometimes experiences from the past make it difficult to tap into these abilities. Together we can work to bring forward the parts of you that are seeking change and heal what has been getting in the way of the life you would like to lead.
Individual therapy is focused on your unique needs and goals. Individual therapy includes learning about your history and life experiences then establishing goals to accomplish in counselling. Our histories are the roots that can provide us with the foundation of strength and resilience. But, our histories also hold the stories that cause pain, insecurity and doubt. It is our belief that the best therapy comes from helping to heal the roots that cause those stuck points. Through this we can create lasting change.
As a full-service agency, we offer therapy tailored to address a number of concerns, really anything that might bring you to therapy.
We offer virtual/telephone therapy across Ontario and have office locations serving London and Toronto.

Annemarie Antunes
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, BSc
Healing looks different for everyone, which is why I start by understanding your unique experiences and the context of your life. Therapy is a space where we can explore challenges together, helping you break free from limiting thought patterns and behaviors to create meaningful change. With over five years of experience in mental health and substance use settings and as an MA in Counselling Psychology practicum student, qualified to practice under supervision, I offer a supportive, non-judgmental, and inclusive space. I provide care that is anti-oppressive, queer-affirming, anti-racist, sex-positive, and trauma-informed care.
I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, intimacy, self-esteem, grief, and addiction recovery. I also support identity exploration, including sexual, gender, and racial identities, using trauma-informed, harm-reduction, and resilience-building approaches to foster healing, growth, and lasting change.

Jackie Ponomariov
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Do you feel like your anxiety, ADHD, trauma, burnout, or self-doubt is getting in the way of you living a fulfilling life on your terms? Do you feel like you have to work against your brain? Are you struggling with the inner critical voice telling you "you're not good enough"? Like you're failing and can't keep up? What if it didn't have to be that way? What if there was a way to feel truly at peace and connected—not just with others, but with yourself? I help young adults quiet the chaos, feel less anxiety, build confidence, and feel more control over their own lives. You deserve to be happy and confident.
As a child raised in chaos, I became an emotional caretaker at an early age. I learned to anticipate others’ needs while burying my own. My healing journey through my own neurodivergence, anxiety, and trauma was one of reclamation and empowerment, and it fuelled my passion for integrative, mind-body approaches, such as EMDR, Somatic Therapy, Hypnosis & IFS.
All parts of you are welcome in this space. It's very important that you feel a connection with me and feel I can understand you. Please send me an email or visit my website to book a FREE 15 minute consultation using our easy online scheduler to see if we might be a good fit to work together! You've got this!
