Melissa Kaylee De Pace
Counsellor/Therapist, CCC, Registered Psychotherapist (Q), CNP, M.A
I believe meaningful therapy looks beyond the surface. Sometimes you already know what you should be doing, the harder part is understanding what keeps getting in the way. Together, we explore the patterns, beliefs, relationships, emotional experiences, and nervous system responses that may be contributing to how you feel, while building the insight and tools to create meaningful change.
My approach is integrative by design. With a background in psychology, nutrition, and holistic wellness, I view emotional well-being through a whole-person lens, recognizing the connection between your mind, body, nervous system, relationships, daily habits, and life experiences. Rather than relying on one therapeutic model, I draw primarily from relational and attachment-based therapy while integrating approaches such as IFS, ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and nervous-system regulation based on your individual needs.

Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
My journey into this field is deeply personal. Having lived with anxiety, navigated grief, and taken on caregiving responsibilities early in life, I became committed to understanding mental health not only intellectually but in ways that could support genuine coping and healing.
I understand what it can feel like to be stuck, lost, or caught in what seems like an endless loop of discouragement and emotional fatigue. These experiences have shaped the empathy and perspective I bring to my work.
Through my work with individuals from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds, I have come to believe that human resilience is universal. Even in the most difficult circumstances, people find ways to endure and move forward. As a therapist, my goal is to support you in rediscovering your inner strength—helping you find clarity, reconnect with yourself, and rebuild a sense of hope and trust in your path forward.

Sanofer Ansari
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MACP
Therapy, to me, is a space where you don’t have to have everything figured out or carry everything on your own. It is a place to pause, feel heard, understand what you’re experiencing, and gently make sense of what may have been difficult to express or process. My approach is trauma-informed and emotion-focused, recognizing that our emotions, relationships, past experiences, and cultural backgrounds all shape how we navigate life. I aim to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can feel understood, reconnect with yourself, and move toward greater self-awareness, emotional well-being, and meaningful change.
