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.

Makayla Ciuffreda
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Does your child or teen, or young adult seem constantly worried, easily overwhelmed, or often down? Are focus, attention, or big emotions making daily life a struggle at home or school? Many young people face challenges like anxiety, OCD, ADHD, or depression that can leave them feeling “different” or not good enough. Whether you or your child is dealing with constant worries, low mood, difficulty regulating emotions, or challenges with attention and social connections, therapy can be a place for growth and healing. My goal is to help your child feel more confident, resilient, and equipped to thrive.

Andreea Mota
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Are you worried about your child or teen's anxiety, OCD, emotional outbursts, or difficulty focusing at school and home? Maybe they're stuck in cycles of worry, checking, or needing reassurance that something bad won't happen. You may be trying everything yet daily routines still feel stressful and unpredictable. Watching them struggle or shut down when emotions get too big can feel exhausting. Perhaps you've noticed signs of ADHD or anxious thinking that are harder to manage. You want to see them feel calmer, more capable, and able to get through their day. With the right support, real change is possible. I am here to help.
I work with children and teens experiencing anxiety, ADHD, OCD, emotional regulation difficulties, and behavioural challenges. I also support parents looking for practical guidance and reassurance. Families often come feeling overwhelmed and unsure of the next step. Together we focus on building structure, strengthening coping skills, and growing confidence.
Working with me feels calm, collaborative, and encouraging. I focus on building trust and creating a space where your child or teen feels comfortable expressing themselves at their own pace. You don't have to navigate these challenges alone. I offer a free consultation so we can talk about what your family needs and whether working together feels right.

Chad Tomlinson
Registered Psychotherapist, MTS, MEd, MA, Rev.
Chad is an award winning therapist with 20 years experience... and doesn't actually enjoy writing in the third person. I'm a bit different than traditional therapists as I often have more smiles than tears in my office, but either way, my hope is to help individuals, couples, and families feel safe enough to share their lives. I find men who are nervous about trying therapy, women who want to understand their husbands better, and those who haven't had the best experience in therapy tend to really like my down to earth style that is influenced by my training in solution focused therapy, CBT, EFT, and DBT.

Jamie Clahane | Psychotherapy & Pastoral Care (virtual)
Registered Psychotherapist, MTS, RP
Thanks for taking the time to learn a little more about me. I am a registered psychotherapist providing pastoral psychotherapy for people across Ontario. This means I specialize in integrating clinical counselling and spiritual care. Why is this important? It is important because healing involves the whole person. Yes, healing involves emotional & cognitive processing and integration around unresolved wounds in one's life, but the deepest healing involves more. When we face personal struggles or crises it is an invitation to find deeper meaning and hope in our lives. It is here that I provide Christian counselling to help build a foundation of wellness and hope. In terms of psychotherapy, I focus on healing deeper issues that contribute to mental health symptoms. People may be struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or more complex presentations, such as obsessive compulsions, addiction patterns, complicated grief, emotional dysregulation, and more. Instead of simply learning how to manage symptoms, my approach is to gently uncover and work to heal deeper root issues underneath these symptoms that often include shame and self-rejection, unresolved grief, emotional injuries or trauma, for example. As we recover we can restore a healthy sense of self, a deepened faith, and a restored hope for one's life.

ASR Counselling and Psychotherapy, Attachment and Trauma-informed
Registered Social Worker, HonBA, BSW, MSW, RSW, EMDR Certified
Hi, my name is Ada. Maybe this is your first time seeking therapy or maybe you are searching for a better fit. Trying to find someone who is able to help can feel overwhelming, especially with so many options. For 22 years, my passion has been working with individuals who have struggled with old wounds and life's unrelenting hardships.
My speciality is making sense of your life story: the experiences, stuck thoughts, feelings and perhaps, even memories that have contributed to where you are today. Gaining a better understanding of what brought you here will help shape what you need to feel better. Getting the lay of the land of your life story not only helps to understand where you've been, but also where you need to go from here. We can do this by getting to know those wounded parts of self and, finally, giving them a voice to heal. Understanding your life story is most effective in making those desired changes because it is complete – understanding you, from beginning, middle and beyond. I look forward to connecting with you and starting you on your journey of self discovery and healing.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Do you and your partner keep having the same arguments without ever feeling heard or understood? Maybe communication quickly turns into conflict, trust has been broken, or you're navigating separation, divorce, or preparing for marriage. Stress, anxiety, or depression may also be affecting your relationship, leaving you feeling distant or frustrated. Maybe you know that something needs to change but aren’t sure where to start. If you want calmer conversations, stronger communication, and a relationship that feels more secure and connected, therapy can help you build the skills to get there.

I work with couples and adults navigating relationship challenges, including communication issues, infidelity, marital conflict, premarital counselling, divorce, and family stress. I also support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, and self-esteem concerns using practical, evidence-based tools.
Many couples begin therapy not because their relationship is failing, but because they want to strengthen it. Sessions with me are supportive, direct, and focused on real progress. Together we work on communication, conflict resolution, and breaking the patterns that keep relationships stuck so you can move forward with greater understanding and connection.

Hamilton is undergoing rapid transformation from a steel city to an emerging arts, tech, and health-sciences hub, and therapists here frequently work with the tension between a proud working-class identity and the changes brought by gentrification and urban renewal. McMaster University and McMaster University Medical Centre — one of Canada's leading health research institutions — provide institutional mental health resources and an active clinical training ecosystem. The city's significant immigrant population from South Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America drives demand for culturally informed and multilingual therapists. Hamilton's affordability relative to Toronto has made it a destination for those priced out of the GTA, and therapists regularly address the adjustment challenges of relocation and community rebuilding.
