Maor Bernshtein, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
You’re tired of feeling this way, and you’re ready to change it because this isn’t the life you want to lead. It’s been too long since you felt like you knew who you were, not just theoretically, but practically too. I specialize in addiction, borderline personality disorder, and depression, among other concerns, and build on years of practice in healthcare, treatment, and crisis roles. Together, we will look at how your daily life is being affected, make sense of reactions that feel hard to control, and develop practical tools for difficult moments. I draw from IFS-informed parts work, relational, somatic and trauma-focused approaches, as well as DBT/CBT, to support greater stability, self-trust, and more honest, fulfilling relationships. Visit pathwaytoself.ca to book a free 20-minute consultation and ask any questions you have.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Do you ever feel "stuck" in your daily life or unsure of how to go forward in a way that makes you happy?

Is there a relationship with yourself or others that you'd like to strengthen? We can discuss the steps that have led you to this point, as well as the steps you would like to take in the future to improve your well-being.

Jennifer Morley
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MA, BSc, BA, CCPA
It’s not easy being human right now. Especially when you’re carrying anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, or the quiet exhaustion that comes from holding everything together for everyone else. I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves or the people they care about, and who are ready for meaningful change.
My approach to therapy is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I draw from evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, helping clients build insight, emotional regulation, and healthier patterns in relationships. I place strong emphasis on safety, trust, and understanding the whole person, not just the symptoms that brought them to therapy.
I have extensive experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, high stress, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. I believe therapy should feel like a space where you don’t have to perform, explain away your feelings, or have it all figured out. Together, we slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and work toward greater clarity, connection, and emotional ease.

Client Care, Atrium
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
When someone is struggling, I try to understand the full story of their experiences rather than focusing only on symptoms or labels. I’m often curious about how early experiences, family dynamics, and past relationships may have shaped the way someone sees themselves, others, and the world around them. Unresolved childhood experiences can play a powerful role in how we interpret situations and respond emotionally, so part of our work may involve gently exploring those patterns and understanding how they continue to influence the present.
