Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Sometimes life can leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. You may be navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, ADHD, disordered eating, family stress, or the impact of difficult or unsafe relationships. Whatever brings you to therapy, you do not have to figure it out alone.
I work with youth, adults, and couples to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences, build on your strengths, and move toward healing and growth. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that therapy should be tailored to the person in front of me.
Together, we can explore patterns, develop practical tools, strengthen emotional regulation, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that feels manageable. Taking the first step can feel intimidating, but reaching out for support is a sign of strength.

Sherine Chacko
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Hi, I’m Sherine Chacko, a Registered Social Worker with over 16 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through emotional, relational, and life challenges.
I often work with clients who look like they are managing on the outside but feel overwhelmed internally. You may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship stress, emotional reactivity, lack of motivation, or a sense of disconnection from yourself. You may be seeking coping strategies, but also wanting to understand yourself more deeply.
My goal is to create a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space where you can speak openly, feel understood, and begin making meaningful changes. I believe therapy works best when it is collaborative. I do not see my role as doing the work for you, but as walking alongside you as you develop insight, confidence, emotional clarity, and practical tools for your life.
I also believe that no person exists in isolation. Your relationships, culture, values, faith, family history, and life experiences all matter. In therapy, we will consider the full context of who you are — not just your symptoms.

I work with teens and adults who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, low mood, shame, people-pleasing, or addictive patterns and are tired of doing it alone. In a warm, non-judgmental space—online across Ontario and in-person in Pickering—I’ll help you slow down, understand what’s really going on underneath the symptoms, and build practical tools so you can feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your life.

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. The foundation of my work is steeped in hope; as I believe that hope is essential to effect positive outcomes and change.

Jodi Tingling
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, RSW
Does your career leave you feeling stuck, burnt out, or like you're living someone else's definition of success? Maybe you've worked hard to get where you are, and yet something still feels off. You go through the motions, question if this is all there is, and wonder if it's too late to want something different. You've scrolled job boards, had the same circular thoughts in your head, and maybe even talked to friends about it but nothing has shifted. You wonder if you'll ever feel genuinely fulfilled at work.

Britney Victor
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Your days look successful to others, yet anxiety races beneath the surface. You lie awake replaying conversations, feel your chest tighten in meetings, and wonder why simple tasks drain all your energy. You may catch yourself scrolling, overeating, or snapping at people you love, then feel guilty. Deep down you want calm, confidence, and relationships that don’t exhaust you. You’re ready to understand where these stress loops come from and finally learn skills to break them so you can show up at work, at home, and for yourself with steady ease.
I blend evidence-based tools—CBT, DBT, mindfulness—with a warm, anti-oppressive lens. Together we map the patterns driving your stress, teach body-based calming skills, challenge rigid thoughts, and practise boundary-setting. Every session ends with a concrete exercise so progress feels immediate and measurable.
Therapy is a big step, and fit matters. Visit my website and book a free 15-minute consult, or tap the email button, and I’ll get back to you. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us via phone or email. If I’m not the best fit, I’ll connect you to someone who is. Relief starts with one step; take it today.

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.
