Azin Heydari
Registered Psychotherapist, RP; MA
I work alongside you on this self-exploratory journey, not only showing curiosity about the thoughts that shape your emotional world but also the nervous system patterns held in your body. Real change occurs when the mind and body begin communicating differently, and I will collaborate with you to explore this process with care, curiosity, and evidence-based tools. My approach is warm, relational, and grounded in trauma-informed methods that create space for deep emotional work at a pace that feels safe. If you’re ready to understand your patterns, reconnect with yourself, and find lasting relief—not quick fixes—I am here to support your healing through this process.

Michelle Hannah
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
I’ve always been drawn to the emotional undercurrent—the part of life that hums beneath the surface while everyone else is busy pretending it’s not there. For years, I didn’t have the language for my sensitivity or the intensity of my inner world; I just knew I felt things deeply and carried them quietly. Eventually I learned that depth isn’t a flaw—it’s a compass.
My work now is about helping people tune into that inner terrain with more clarity, compassion, and curiosity. I don’t believe in pushing past your limits or forcing insights before you’re ready. I believe in slow noticing, honest reflection, and creating a space where nothing has to be performed.
If you’re someone who thinks a lot, feels a lot, masks a lot, or has spent years minimizing what actually hurts—I offer a place where your experience can finally land. Not polished. Not rushed. Just real.
(And yes, we can laugh when things get too intense. A little wry humour goes a long way.)

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Having a non-judgemental, empathic and understanding therapist can help us heal and process difficult emotions and experiences. And I aim to be that type of therapist for all my clients. I am a spouse, parent, former journalist, and a Caucasian woman who is committed to anti-oppressive, feminist, and harm-reduction values.

Barzin Hosseini Rad
Registered Psychotherapist, Centre for Training of Psychotherapists Diploma
I’m interested in the inner dialogue that’s going on within us. If you listen closely, you can hear the stories we are always telling ourselves about who we are. These are powerful stories that shape the way we view ourselves and others. Psychotherapy has the potential to create a space where we can hear these stories more clearly. And when that happens, we become better acquainted with the villains and heroes of our tales.

David Rockman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW RSW BA psych hon
In uncertain times, it is common to feel overwhelmed by difficulties and feel stuck in a cycle of challenges in the 6 general arenas of human experience: habituated repertoire of thoughts, emotions, soma, behaviours, situations, and environment. Many of the problems we experience are not our fault, but they can still have a significant impact on our mental health and well-being. As a psychotherapist with 27 years of experience in Toronto, I have helped countless individuals effectively and quickly resolve a variety of issues, including self-other relationship stressors, trauma from sexual abuse, emotional regulation, feelings of betrayal and abandonment, social anxiety, self-blame, self-esteem issues, motivation problems, and mis-transits of anger, shame and grief.

Nora Taylor, MA, RP
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology 1994
My own experience of life has informed my practice as has my appreciation of the spiritual aspects of life. Depth psychology has long been an interest of mine since first reading Carl Jung's work in 1990. My practice is deepened by an appreciation of Buddhism and more recently neuroscience which provide more expansive views on how to work with the difficulties faced by simply being human.

Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Qualifying), MSc, MA
I know how scary it can be to face our struggles and open up to a new person—I’ve been in therapy myself for many years. It’s not easy work! That's why I’m focused on building trust and staying curious about who you are and how you’re experiencing the process. My hope is that you leave sessions feeling cared for, understood, accepted, and connected with. Clients find that this experience builds self-understanding, a sense of worth, and a growing agency they carry into the rest of their lives.
I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who practices psychodynamic, relational therapy. This approach understands our struggles as stemming from difficulties in relationships, past and present. Maybe you haven’t received the kinds of connections, supports, and understanding you’ve needed and it’s impacted how you relate to yourself and others. Perhaps bad experiences have made it hard to navigate daily life or build new dynamics. You might be navigating loss, abandonment, harm, guilt, or conflict and need support with this. We’re nearly all impacted by cultures of disconnection, over-work, domination, and hyper-individualism. Relational therapy can be a space to notice all of this and experience something new—a more connected and fulfilling inner and outer life.
I’m dedicated to practicing from a client-led and trauma-informed perspective that understands the deeply traumatic impacts of white supremacy, colonialism, cishetero-patriarchy, ableism, and other oppressions. I will hold curiosity for how systems, culture, and identity impact your life, relationships, and our work together.
But in all of this, we only go as deep and as wide as you want to—I make sure we’re following your pace and attending to what feels most urgent. I won't tell you what healing looks like for you, but I'll be excited to figure that out together.
