Shane Smyth
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, OACCPP
I specialise in couples therapy. I love helping couples improve their relationship by increasing their ability to communicate openly and lovingly. I am trained in Gottman Couples Therapy to Level 3 and am a Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist. I have also completed several sex therapy intensive trainings. I have over 15 years helping couples. Sexuality and desire discrepancies are something that I enjoy working it as this often becomes a shut down topic for couples. I try to make therapy as accessible and easy going as possible. I believe that everyone has the right to have a rich and meaningful life and through therapy I hope to provide clients with the space and skills to access their own inner resources as well as build meaningful relationships.

35 Years of Helping People Transform Their Lives
For more than three decades, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people as they navigate change, healing, and personal growth. My work as a therapist has shown me the incredible depth, resilience, wisdom, and goodness that exists within every person. The connections I’ve built with clients — and the positive changes I’ve witnessed — have given my own life profound meaning.
If you’re ready to better understand yourself, heal, and create a more fulfilling life, I’m here to help.

Sunlight Counselling, Melody Mann
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I’m a registered social worker and psychotherapist who helps people navigate life’s hardest seasons — burnout, trauma, grief, and chronic illness. My approach is grounded in compassion and curiosity, creating a space where you can exhale, be seen, and begin to heal at your own pace.
I draw from EMDR, parts work, and mindfulness-based approaches to support the body and mind’s natural capacity to heal. Together, we’ll explore not only what hurts, but also what helps — uncovering new ways of relating to yourself, others, and the world around you.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply exhausted by doing it all, therapy can be a place to slow down, reconnect with your strength, and move toward a life that feels more aligned and sustainable.

Susan Fehr
Registered Psychotherapist, RP Qualifying, MA
I believe that healing begins in a safe, supportive, and collaborative relationship. Working with teens, adults, and older adults, I take a client-centred approach, drawing on CBT, DBT skills, attachment-based and trauma-informed methods to help clients move through anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and the hard transitions that leave people feeling overwhelmed or unmoored. With over a decade in the helping professions, I bring both clinical skill and genuine care to every session — and for clients who want it, faith has a place in the work too. I see clients at GreenValley Counselling's Kitchener, Brantford, and Cambridge offices.

Kaylen Leonienco
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
I have always been passionate about working in the field of social work/psychotherapy. I aim to provide spaces where individuals can speak openly about life's challenges and be met with nothing but support and zero judgement. It has been rewarding to witness client's move through challenges and live the lives they have always dreamed of. Client's are also equipped with lifelong skills and coping strategies to be used when new challenges arise beyond our time working together.

Ms. Clare Pentelow
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.S.W., R.S.W.
Therapy can be a very vulnerable process, and it is important to feel that you are in a safe space in order to do this important work. I believe my warm, authentic approach allows my clients to feel comfortable opening up about the difficult issues they are facing. i work with my clients to deeply understand their goals, experiences and personalities and support them in both processing emotional wounds, and coping with the difficult feelings and situations they are dealing with in the present.

Cindy Jennings
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, RP
Living with addiction in a relationship can feel confusing, exhausting, and isolating. Many partners find themselves trying everything they can to help, while feeling increasingly powerless. My goal is to help you make sense of what’s happening, reconnect with your own voice, and develop more effective ways of responding that support both your well-being and the possibility of real change.
For over 30 years, I have had the privilege of helping individuals and couples navigate some of life’s most difficult relationship challenges, including alcohol and substance use concerns and the lasting effects of trauma. As a trained couples and family therapist, I have a particular focus on supporting partners and spouses whose lives have been deeply affected by a loved one’s addiction. As a Registered Psychotherapist, I draw on a wide range of evidence-based approaches to meet the unique needs of each person I work with. My training includes Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Motivational Interviewing, Somatic Therapy, and Exposure Therapy. These approaches allow us to work not only with practical skills for communication and boundaries, but also with the deeper emotional and relational patterns that keep people feeling stuck.
I strive to create a thoughtful, respectful space where you feel heard and understood. Together we can navigate the complexities of your situation and help you move toward greater clarity, stability, and confidence in how you move forward.

Kitchener — often referenced alongside Waterloo as part of the Waterloo Region — is at the center of Canada's most significant technology hub outside Toronto, home to the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University, and dozens of major tech startups and scale-ups, creating persistent demand for therapists who work with innovation-sector burnout, high-stakes career pressure, and the psychological costs of startup culture. The region's growing immigrant population from South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East adds cultural diversity to therapy demand that the private therapy community is still catching up to reflect. Grand River Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside an active private therapy community. Kitchener's rapid diversification — beyond its German-heritage Oktoberfest identity — shapes a dynamic and evolving therapy culture.
