Miranda Arellano
Registered Psychotherapist, MC, RP, EMDR Certified Therapist, EMDRIA Approved Consultant
I am a Registered Psychotherapist with specialized training in EMDR and couples therapy. I am an EMDR Certified Therapist and an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant, and I also support other therapists in learning, strengthening, and refining their EMDR practice through consultation and mentorship.
My work is grounded in trauma-informed, nervous-system-focused care, helping clients understand how past experiences continue to influence present-day emotions, behaviours, and relationships. I support a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, trauma, panic, phobias, depression, grief, chronic pain, performance anxiety, PTSD, complex PTSD (C-PTSD), sleep disturbances, addictions, violence, and abuse.
I offer individual counselling for children, adolescents, and adults, tailoring care to each client’s developmental stage, capacity, and goals. I also provide couples therapy and am trained in the Gottman Method, supporting partners in improving communication, managing conflict, repairing relational injuries, addressing the impact of trauma, and navigating challenges related to infidelity and trust.
Across all aspects of my work, I prioritize safety, consent, and pacing. Whether supporting clients in their healing or therapists in their professional development, my focus is on building confidence, resilience, and sustainable, meaningful change.

Usman Khan
Registered Psychotherapist, MD, MPH, MACP, RP
*Accepting New Clients* My journey in medicine and public health has taught me that healing requires more than simply treating symptoms, it requires an understating of the individual, their culture, and any barriers they have faced navigating support. My approach to therapy is both empathetic and collaborative, focused on building a strong therapeutic alliance to ensure you feel both heard and understood. My goal is to create a safe space to allow you to explore your thoughts, behaviours, and emotions, while we integrate your personal experiences and values, to allow us to address any underlying issues that may exist and develop practical strategies for improvement. I am dedicated to helping you achieve the meaningful and lasting change you are seeking in your life. I work with individuals, families and youth aged 10+ and offer a free 15-minute consultation to ensure I am the right fit for your journey.

Adrienne Sharma-Richardson PhD MEd RP OCT
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Gestalt Psychotherapist Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Gottman Trained Couples Therapist
As a gestalt psychotherapist, who pairs gestalt training with somatic experiencing I can help support you in healing from your trauma.
No one in the Niagara Region utilizes the combination of these therapies and applies them to working with couples in crisis. Gottman (couples) and Post Induction Therapy training (relational/developmental trauma)
I am sorry to say but popular approaches to healing trauma like CBT will provide only temporary relief at best.
If you want to get to the root of your trauma and heal somatic experiencing (SE) is what you need and when supported with the power of relational gestalt therapy you will shift your shit!
SE focuses on regulating your nervous system.
With SE work trauma responses are completed and energy is released back into the system and with this the resolution and disappearance of physical complaints, including headaches, digestive problems, and pain syndromes can be resolved, and emotional regulation can be restored.
I will teach you how to work with your stress response - the body's innate alarm system in response to a perceived danger, also called the "Fight or Flight" response.
It is highly adaptive to danger and human survival when threats are physical, but less so when threats are psychological, or imaginary, among other somatic and relational skills.
I have been trained under Dr Abi Blakeslee part of Dr Peter A Levine's legacy group out of California for Somatic Experiencing and the late great Dr Bud Feder the author of Beyond the Hot Seat was on my dissertation committee overseeing a phenomenological study of the effectiveness of a gestalt therapy group I created to reduce stress in working informal caregivers of the elderly. I named the group process Stressed WOW (We Overloaded with Work).
Gestalt therapy is an extremely complex psychotherapy, too complex to describe in this short space.
The power of its effectiveness can only be experienced.
Most present day therapies have stolen bits and pieces of its praxis.
Get the whole again with a holistic, here and now, experiential therapy.
I am here for you... I've got your six!
