Samantha Duarte Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP
You spend so much time taking care of others that you've forgotten what it feels like to take care of yourself. I work with adults experiencing burnout, trauma, grief, anxiety, and major life transitions, with a special interest in supporting social workers, caseworkers, healthcare professionals, and first-generation individuals. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and grounded in nervous system regulation, helping you better understand yourself, process difficult experiences, and build lasting change.
My goal is to provide a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. Together, we'll work at a pace that feels right for you as you reconnect with yourself and move toward the life you want to live. I welcome any questions and offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if we're the right fit.

Ashley Bargent Coaching & Counselling
Registered Social Worker, Associate Certified Coach, ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider MSW, RSW, ACC, ADHD-CCSP
Work is draining the joy from your life. Your confidence is dropping and you’re not sure about this career anymore. Every workday, it’s harder to get out of bed. You’ve considered changing jobs but are scared you’re the problem. The idea of change feels overwhelming because you overthink and don’t know where to start. You long for a job where your strengths will shine and you can live up to your potential. But you aren’t sure if you’ll ever find a place where you belong, especially if you’re grappling with ADHD.

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.

Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Finding your way back to a sense of balance, clarity, and inner steadiness is not always easy. Life can feel painful, confusing, or overwhelming at times, especially when you are carrying anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, grief, identity questions, or major life transitions.
In therapy, I see our work as collaborative. You are the expert on your own life and story, while I bring clinical training, curiosity, and experience to help us better understand what you are facing. My approach is person-centred, trauma-informed, and grounded in mindfulness. I integrate approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, CBT, MBCT, EMDR, CBT-I, and the Unified Protocol when appropriate.
I do not see mental health as the absence of painful thoughts or emotions. Difficult experiences are part of being human. What often matters is how we relate to those experiences and whether we can still move toward a life that feels meaningful, connected, and aligned with our values.
My hope is to offer a grounded, nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood as a whole person, not simply a collection of symptoms or problems. Together, we can work toward greater self-understanding, emotional steadiness, and meaningful change.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Therapy works best when you feel genuinely safe, understood, and able to speak openly. Many of my clients share that one of the most meaningful parts of our work together is not only the practical tools and strategies they gain, but also the sense of connection, honesty, and relief that comes from having a space where they can be real and experience real change.
My background includes social work, music therapy, palliative care, oncology, acute mental health, and service in the Canadian Armed Forces. I also bring lived experience with grief, trauma, chronic pain, and adversity, which deeply informs my compassionate and realistic approach.
I work with individuals who are often used to “holding it together” on the outside while internally feeling overwhelmed, burned out, disconnected, or stuck in painful patterns.
Together, we’ll figure out what actually works for you — not just generic advice. I take the time to understand your strengths, your struggles, and the deeper patterns that may be keeping you stuck so we can approach challenges in a way that feels realistic and meaningful.
We can do more than just manage symptoms or get through the day. My goal is to help you build a life that feels worthwhile.
