Bonny Kaman Li
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP
Anxiety therapy helps with the constant worry, physical tension, or a mind that won't stop scanning for what might go wrong. I help clients understand what's driving their anxiety and build practical tools to feel more grounded, rather than just managing symptoms in the moment.

Phyllis Wai Ng
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, CCC
People often over worry and panic about situations that they perceive that they are incapable of handling them. This can cause anxiety, which affects sleep, productivity, and social interactions. Anxiety can cause physiological reactions such as shortness of breath, sweating, chest pain, dry month, lump in the throat, and rapid heart rate, etc. Therapy will be able to help you improve your mental state of mind and find different ways to cope better with your challenges calmly and more effectively.

Zonaira Chaudhry
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist MSW, RSW
Are intrusive thoughts, compulsions, or phobias controlling your life? I specialize in evidence-based treatments for OCD and anxiety, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). While developing immediate coping skills is important, I understand that real change comes through carefully guided exposure work and addressing underlying patterns.
My approach balances acceptance with change, helping you face fears while building resilience. Together, we'll work at your pace to reclaim freedom and flexibility in your life.

Samantha Mirarchi | Wild Sage Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Anxiety can feel like your mind is always racing . It's overthinking everything, imagining worst-case scenarios, and never really being able to relax. Whether it shows up as constant worry, panic, avoidance, or just a general feeling of unease, it can be exhausting trying to manage it all on your own.
In therapy, we’ll help you understand where your anxiety comes from, what it’s trying to protect you from, and how to work with it instead of feeling controlled by it. You’ll learn practical tools to manage anxious thoughts and emotions, while also digging deeper into the patterns and fears that keep fueling them.
Anxiety doesn’t have to run your life, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Sanofer Ansari
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MACP
Approach: CBT, emotion-focused therapy, somatic and grounding strategies.
I help clients identify patterns of anxious thinking, fear, avoidance, and physical nervous-system activation. CBT strategies can help examine unhelpful thought patterns, while emotion-focused and somatic approaches help clients understand and regulate the emotions and bodily sensations underlying anxiety. We work gradually toward greater confidence and a stronger sense of safety.

Markham is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities in North America, with Chinese residents making up the largest share of the population and a significant South Asian minority, creating a therapy community with unusually strong demand for Mandarin-, Cantonese-, and Punjabi-speaking practitioners. The city is a major technology hub — home to Canadian headquarters for IBM, AMD, and dozens of other multinationals — generating consistent demand for therapists who work with high-performance workplace stress, burnout, and the particular identity pressures of first-generation professionals navigating career expectations between cultures. Markham Stouffville Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while many residents also access care through the broader Toronto metro therapy ecosystem. Help-seeking stigma in some East Asian communities remains an important context for therapists, who often find themselves helping clients normalize therapy alongside the clinical work.
