Gwen Shandroski, Expressive Arts Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc, S-LP(C), R.P.
I help my clients/patients feel comfortable to begin therapy. I have gone through this process as a client and as a therapist many times. Feeling understood and having someone help you take a look at what is going on can be very refreshing and provide some hope. My background in speech-language pathology has prepared me to work with clients who have difficulty expressing themselves. Expressive arts therapy is an alternative way to reach feelings and represent the experience you're having.

Riki Stopnicki
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I am a Registered Social Worker, and I provide counselling for adults, teens, and children struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and ADHD. I also provide counselling, support, and guidance for family members of individuals with ADHD to help navigate the many challenges and concerns that come up in relationships impacted by ADHD. I’m committed to working with my clients in a way that helps them feel truly heard and understood and helping people move towards real change in their lives. I am passionate about helping people live life with less stress, overwhelm, conflict, and challenge and move towards improved wellbeing in life and relationships.
As a therapist, I am drawn to evidence-based and strengths-based psychotherapy approaches such as CBT and ACT that we can use to help you move towards your goals for your life and relationships. Starting therapy is never an easy process; doubt, shame, and self-criticism often show up as obstacles along the path. It’s difficult to reach out, but it is undoubtedly more difficult to continue to experience the same challenges week by week. So, if you’re ready to take the first step, let me help you move towards the finish line. It's not easy, but it is worth it.

Forouz Salari
Registered Social Worker, MA, MSW, RSW
I am a white-passing, Middle-Eastern, bisexual, cis-gender, neurotypical woman and a first-generation immigrant and settler (who came to Canada as a refugee, during childhood).
I’ve also lived through experiences of trauma, displacement, mental illness, divorce, chronic illness and chronic pain.
So, I know what it’s like to feel lost, confused, doubtful, overwhelmed, frustrated, misunderstood, lonely, exhausted, and just not good enough! I know the effort and energy it takes to step into and embrace a journey of self-discovery, healing and growth, not knowing where it might lead. I also know how incredibly transformative it can be!
That must be why you're here too - ready and looking for something in your life to change for the better. I'm here to help!

Kurt Zubatiuk
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Registered Psychotherapist), Diploma TIRP, member CAPT
We all need someone to talk to, to help us through difficult times. Whether we have overwhelming issues in the present, or traumas from the past, we need someone to help us make sense of them and to stick with us through hard times. We need to know we matter.

Katie Pula
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Learning to bring mindful attention to our mental health and how we are impacted by our experiences hones our ability to tend to ourselves more deeply. By deepening our sense of self, we grow and strengthen our capacity to experience well-being in the world and in relationships. The capacity to help ourselves in our struggles often begins with naming and identifying our emotions, thoughts and root causes. From here, we can make choices to tend to ourselves with greater care, bringing the change and growth we need for healing.
I am committed to bringing awareness and acknowledgement to the oppression that exists within racial, cultural, religious, gender, and sexual identities and experiences. I am dedicated to understanding how it exists in my client’s life and how it interacts with both of our beliefs and behaviour. I recognize that I as a white woman I benefit from white privilege, and am committed to addressing how systemic oppression might influence our relationship. I am committed to being informed about my client’s cultural context so that I am aware of how this impacts the nature of their experiences.
