Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Azin Heydari
Registered Psychotherapist, RP; MA
I work alongside you on this self-exploratory journey, not only showing curiosity about the thoughts that shape your emotional world but also the nervous system patterns held in your body. Real change occurs when the mind and body begin communicating differently, and I will collaborate with you to explore this process with care, curiosity, and evidence-based tools. My approach is warm, relational, and grounded in trauma-informed methods that create space for deep emotional work at a pace that feels safe. If you’re ready to understand your patterns, reconnect with yourself, and find lasting relief—not quick fixes—I am here to support your healing through this process.

Tehmina Ayana Meherali
Counsellor/Therapist, M.Ed, CCC, CMHP
Healing happens in relationship and I create a heart-centered space for our work together. I have many years of experience working with clients on issues ranging from anxiety to relationship difficulties and life transitions. I use a therapy model called Internal Family Systems (IFS), which helps you understand the different parts of you that are experiencing challenges. For instance, there may be a part of you who is a perfectionist, or a part that may feel overwhelming anxiety. We get to know these parts of you in a compassionate and curious way, which helps you to get to the root cause. Through this clarity, a spaciousness opens up in your psyche and body, which can often lead to profound healing. I teach clients how to engage their mind, body, and spirit in the healing process.

Selene Khosla
Marriage and Family Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying), MAP, PHD
There was a time when I thought being strong meant holding everything together, smiling through exhaustion, pushing past doubt, and showing up even when it hurt. But beneath all that effort was a quiet truth: I was tired of surviving and ready to start living. That realization changed everything.
Becoming a therapist wasn’t just a career decision, it was a calling to understand the messy, beautiful, and complicated parts of being human. I’ve faced my own moments of uncertainty and know how difficult it can be to ask for help. That’s why the space I offer isn’t about fixing, it’s about softening, slowing down, and finding your voice again amidst the noise.
I’ve come to believe that healing often begins in the ordinary, in the small, quiet moments of pausing, noticing, and simply breathing. It’s within these gentle pauses that we start to reconnect with ourselves, remember what truly matters, and find the courage to move forward, even when life feels heavy.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to take it alone. I offer a warm, supportive space to explore what’s been weighing on you and what you’d like to shift or understand more deeply. If you’re curious about beginning, reach out to schedule a consultation, we’ll talk about your goals, your hopes for therapy, and see if working together feels like the right fit for you.

Vladimir Rakic
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MA, Registered Psychotherapist
What sets my practice apart is the way I combine modern therapeutic approaches with wisdom drawn from my time living and studying with monks and shamans. This blend allows me to support healing on multiple levels—psychological, emotional, and spiritual. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing yourself, but about rediscovering your wholeness and capacity to live with greater ease and authenticity. Whether you’re new to therapy or have been on this path for a while, I offer a grounded, compassionate space where depth, presence, and transformation can unfold naturally.

Joan Samuel-Dennis, Ph.D
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist
I believe that every person carries an innate capacity to heal, no matter how deep the wounds of childhood may be. For more than 25 years, I have been privileged to walk alongside individuals on this path of recovery. My work as an RN–Psychotherapist, with a specialization in trauma recovery, has shown me that while trauma can leave us feeling disconnected, it never erases the truth of who we are.
In our work together, I don’t seek to fix you—I seek to honour the whole of who you are. I listen for the truths that want to be spoken, the body’s wisdom that longs to be heard, and the spirit’s call back to peace. Healing, for me, is about supporting you as you remember your wholeness, your worth, and your divine purpose.
If you are here reading these words, know that you have already taken a courageous step toward transformation. I am honoured to walk with you.

Manisha Grewal
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (Hons), MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Do you tend to replay past events in your mind over and over, and spiral into worries about the future? Do you struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, or relationships, causing you to "overgive" to others while abandoning your own needs? Many people describe feeling like they’re moving through life on autopilot — weighed down by overthinking, low mood, or the pressure to keep everyone else happy. You might notice people-pleasing tendencies, difficulty maintaining boundaries, or a pattern of overgiving that leaves you drained, ungrounded, and disconnected from yourself. Here, you’ll find a warm, calm space where your feelings are validated and your voice genuinely matters. Together, we’ll engage in meaningful, deep processing work, explore what's fuelling your distress, and gently uncover the deeper experiences and patterns shaping your emotional world. Alongside this, we’ll build practical tools to regulate your nervous system and ease your symptoms in the present, helping you reconnect with a more empowered, resilient, and self-aware version of yourself. I bring the richness of three cultures, four languages, and the lived experience of being both a first- and third-generation immigrant. My background in the medical field also allows me to integrate physiological and psychological insight. These parts of who I am allow me to deeply empathize with the immigrant journey across generations, as well as the ways culture, family expectations, and identity can shape mental health. No matter your background or story, I aim to meet you with genuine understanding, respect, and compassion. I am a proud ally to LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC communities and offer inclusive, compassionate care for all backgrounds and lived experiences. If what I’ve shared resonates, we may be a good fit. If you're curious about working together, let's start with a free, no-pressure 30-min video consultation, where we can connect and chat in a calm, relaxed space.
