Maddie Serhal - Limitless Living Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, MC, BSc
Hey there!
My name is Maddie - and if you're looking for a relatable therapist with whom you will likely share many laughs, keep reading!
I work with teens, young adults, students, and adults of all ages in person in Hamilton, and virtually all across Ontario.
Therapy can be both challenging and delightful, we can make jokes, tune into the language of the body, be creative, cry, be silly, and also have deep, profound moments of self-discovery.
During our sessions, I aim to bring a mix of compassion, warmth, honesty, humour, and a touch of play to our work together. Life can be an interesting rollercoaster, full of ups, downs, and intense loop-de-loops that make you feel nauseous, and you don't have to ride it alone. If you're keen to keep growing and deepening your self-awareness, I’d be happy to hop on this wild ride alongside you.
Chat soon! :)

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.

Vanessa Gear
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Is your child or teen feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, ADHD, school challenges, or difficulty managing big emotions? Perhaps learning differences, neurodivergence, family conflict, or life transitions are creating stress at home or school. I work with children, teens, adults, and families who want a supportive space to better understand these challenges. Together, we focus on building emotional regulation, confidence, coping skills, and stronger relationships so clients feel more capable, understood, and supported in their daily lives.
I specialize in supporting children, teens, and families navigating ADHD, autism (ASD), anxiety, school issues, learning challenges, and life transitions. Using CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and experiential approaches, including play-based techniques, I help clients strengthen emotional regulation, build coping skills, and develop greater confidence and resilience
Behind every behaviour is a story waiting to be heard. If you or your child feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck, therapy can provide a supportive space to slow down and make sense of what’s happening. Together we’ll explore strengths, build practical tools, and create meaningful change so you can move forward with greater confidence and connection.

Brianne Roy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Do you find yourself questioning your relationships, your identity, or where your life is heading? You might be burned out from masking or holding it together, drained from a separation or life change, or noticing distance growing between you and your partner. Perhaps you're navigating neurodivergence, stuck in codependency, or grieving a life that didn't go as planned. You may not remember the last time you felt truly like yourself. But something in you is ready for change. You want to feel steady, understood, and clear about your next step. I can help you slow down, make sense of what's happening, and begin moving forward.
I work with adults, couples and families navigating anxiety, burnout, neurodivergence, codependency, identity exploration, relationship conflict and life transitions. I focus on attachment patterns, ADHD and Autism masking, premarital counselling, separation and divorce recovery, and supporting diverse identities and non-traditional relationship structures.
Clients come to me when they want a therapist who sees the full picture, not just the surface. Sessions are warm, collaborative, and never rushed. I meet you where you are and we work at your pace. You don't need the right words or a clear goal before reaching out. I offer a free consultation so we can explore whether working together feels right.

Client Care, Atrium
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
When someone is struggling, I try to understand the full story of their experiences rather than focusing only on symptoms or labels. I’m often curious about how early experiences, family dynamics, and past relationships may have shaped the way someone sees themselves, others, and the world around them. Unresolved childhood experiences can play a powerful role in how we interpret situations and respond emotionally, so part of our work may involve gently exploring those patterns and understanding how they continue to influence the present.

Jonathan Christink
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, BEd, MEd, Registered Psychotherapist
I tell every new client I meet with, "don't worry, just because we're meeting for the first time does not mean you're stuck with me." It's so important to find a good fit. This means that you are free to find a therapist that both specializes in why you're reaching out, but also one that you connect with on a personal level. If both of those criteria are not met then you probably won't find success. I'd love to connect, but please know that the pressure is off. If I'm not a great fit, we'll look to find a better one. Ultimately this is about you, and that's a good thing!

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.
