Melissa Letourneau
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
My approach is grounded in authenticity, trust, and often humour. I believe you have the wisdom to navigate life’s challenges and I strive to help empower you to facilitate change in therapy. Therapy is a helpful outlet for youth transitioning through adolescence. I work with individuals, couples, children and families offering a free consultation to ensure we are a good fit. I carry a systemic lens, exploring the way culture, community and family shape our experiences and aspirations. I am committed to strength-based and anti-oppressive practice in my work. I recognize the importance and responsibility I have as a therapist, to address the systemic inequalities impacting clients in their lives.

Tony Miller
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD, RP
While I do not work with youth under the age of 16, our clinic has many child and family therapists who are availability to schedule a free consultation. Since children are often impacted by family dynamics, we often find the most effective way to work with children, ages 6-11, is within the context of family therapy. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation with one of our child and family therapists by visiting https://www.psychotherapycollective.ca/services/child-and-family-therapy

Phyllis Wai Ng
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, CCC
Each child or adolescent responds differently to life's unexpected events. Some of these could be a death in the family, the first of a sibling, bullying, natural disasters, or parental divorce. It's important for the child or adolescent to have healthy social and emotional intelligence in order to lead healthy and happy lives.

Wajma Omer
Registered Psychotherapist, MSc. Psych., RP
Working in a children's mental health agency for 14 years with youth ages 12-18 has allowed me to understand the social and emotional pressures that youth experience in today's society. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for youth to express their thoughts, emotions, struggles, and using a client-centered and strength-based approach help them find strategies that can help them explore healthy coping mechanisms.

Emaan Singh
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
During one-on-one sessions, I incorporate fun and interactive ways to connect with children and guide them in understanding their feelings, emotions, and behaviours. Sessions are designed to support their emotional and psychological well-being during this crucial stage of development. My role is to help them build coping strategies, emotional regulation skills, problem-solving techniques, and healthy communication patterns. I strive to ensure that families leave our sessions feeling supported, cared for, and equipped with effective resources that can be implemented into their daily lives, helping them reach their full potential.

Markham is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities in North America outside of East Asia, with a majority Chinese 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, Apple, 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.
