My practice is grounded in meeting you where you are and helping you build insight, develop practical tools, and move toward meaningful change at a pace that feels manageable.

Kalyna Scherbluk
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Qualifying
Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or unsure of who you are anymore? Maybe you're navigating anxiety, depression, low self-worth, or relationship challenges. You might feel lost in transition—grappling with a recent change, a difficult past, or trying to break free from behaviours that leave you feeling disconnected. These emotions can be heavy and confusing, and it’s okay if you’re not sure where to start. I’m here to help you make sense of what you're feeling and why. Therapy with me offers a compassionate, person-centred space where your story is honoured and explored with curiosity, not judgment. With training in Emotion-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based, CBT, DBT, and Narrative Therapy, I offer an integrative, trauma-informed approach tailored to your needs. Together, we’ll explore the roots of your struggles, increase self-understanding, and work toward the emotional clarity and change you're seeking. You don’t have to carry these feelings alone. Whether you're navigating life transitions, feeling anxious or emotionally stuck, or looking to strengthen your sense of self and relationships, we can explore this together. Reach out to discuss how I can support you.

Paighe Rojas
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
If you’re looking for a therapist who is both compassionate and direct, you’re in the right place. I support clients who look “fine” on the outside but feel emotionally exhausted, anxious, disconnected, or like they’re constantly carrying too much. In our work together, you can expect a steady space that helps you feel understood, build coping skills that actually work, and create lasting change—not just temporary relief. If you’re ready to feel more grounded and confident in yourself, reach out and we’ll take the next step together.

Ferozan Nasiri
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
As a therapist with over nine years of experience, my practice is deeply rooted in connection, compassion, and evidence-based care. I’ve supported individuals, families, and communities through life transitions, anxiety, addiction, and life’s toughest moments. Whether in schools, hospitals, or my therapy practice, I provide a warm, client-centred space where healing, growth, and resilience can thrive.
I’m passionate about creating a safe, supportive environment where you can explore your inner strengths and foster self-awareness to help make meaningful, lasting change. My approach is collaborative and empathetic, using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI).

Madeleine Krupl
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I don’t see people as problems to fix, but as humans with stories to be held, pain to be witnessed, and strengths to be illuminated. My role is a steady, compassionate presence—curious, culturally humble, and practical—so you can feel safer, think more clearly, and make changes that last. Together we’ll move at your pace, building skills and resilience while we heal what hurts.

Registered Social Worker, BS.c, RSW, AccFm, CPMed
*IN-PERSON AVAILABILITY* I believe my lived experience with parenting, grief and the challenges of adolescence infuse emphatic understanding into my practice. Life is hard!! I have also faced many of the challenges facing our children, teens and families today, and I bring my experiences into my clinical practice.

Sanja Dejanovic
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, PhD
Hello and welcome. I'm Sanja. After more than a decade as an educator, I shifted professions because I found one-on-one work with individuals, the therapeutic setting more broadly, to be inspiring, fulfilling and meaningful. It has allowed me to show up and pursue deep learning differently than in a university classroom. I am passionate about caring for and witnessing others as they reconnect with themselves, explore their inner worlds and undergo transformation toward their therapeutic goals. If you are thinking of accessing therapy, connect with me to chat about your current experiences and how I could be there for you. I'm an experienced, skilled, and attuned therapist who has a variety of therapeutic approaches in her toolkit and integrates them in a way that works for you, whether you are seeking to navigate grief and loss, anxiety, depression, stressors, difficult emotions, familial and partnership challenges, addictions or other things weighing you down. I provide individual and couples therapy in Ontario and other provinces. Looking forward to connecting with you and collaboratively working with you toward your goals!

Bhavna Verma
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, CC-S, DCP, MSc
At Lumos Counselling, we believe that the counselling process is a collaborative approach where the patient determines where they are going and the therapist provides the directions. Our philosophy to counselling is to empower patients so that they are able to work through stressors with tools and strategies learned during sessions.

Bonny Kaman Li
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP
I became a therapist because I know what it's like to need to rebuild — not just once, but repeatedly, across displacement, across countries, across versions of myself I had to leave behind to survive what came next. That experience shapes almost everything about how I practice today.
I don't believe therapy should feel like something done to you. I see it as a genuine collaboration — you bring your lived experience, I bring my clinical training, and we figure things out together. With your permission, I'll sometimes offer a different way of seeing something: this is what I notice — what do you think? If you see it differently, that's completely fine. We explore from there. Nothing gets handed down as fact.
A lot of the people I work with have already done real work elsewhere. They know their diagnoses, they've learned the coping skills, they can explain their patterns fluently — and it still hurts. That's usually exactly where we begin.
Before I became a therapist, I spent over a decade in the legal field and in ADHD coaching, which means I bring a slightly different lens to trauma, family conflict, and neurodivergence than clinicians who've only trained in one world. I also work with two therapy dogs, Emma and Evee, who often make the room feel safer than words alone can.
If you're the person everyone else relies on, and you're quietly wondering who's supposed to hold you — I'd like to help with that.
