Samantha Mirarchi | Wild Sage Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Life in your 20s and 30s can feel EXHAUSTING, like no matter how hard you try, you're spinning your wheels and can't seem to catch a break. You're tired, anxious, overwhelmed, and questioning how you even got here.
Maybe a big change recently flipped your world upside down, like a breakup, move, job shift, or family situation that brought everything to the surface. Or maybe it's been building for a while. You’re feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, unfulfilled, and noticing the same patterns repeating themselves again and again.
You’re ready for something different. You're ready to dig deeper, understand yourself on a new level, and start creating patterns that actually move you forward. We’re here to help you do just that.

Bonny Kaman Li
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP
I believe therapy should be a place where people feel safe enough to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with themselves—often for the first time in a long while. Many individuals come to therapy carrying invisible burdens: unprocessed trauma, chronic stress, cultural or family expectations, or the exhaustion of always having to hold it together.
My work is grounded in a trauma-informed, emotion-focused approach that honours each person’s lived experience, cultural context, and nervous system. I integrate evidence-based modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and somatic-based interventions to help clients understand their emotional patterns, heal from past experiences, and develop practical strategies for daily life.
I value collaboration, transparency, and respect in the therapeutic relationship. Therapy is not about fixing or forcing change, but about creating the conditions for clarity, resilience, and self-trust to emerge. My goal is to support clients in building a more grounded, compassionate relationship with themselves and moving forward with greater confidence and emotional balance.

Melissa Huang
Registered Psychotherapist, (Qualifying), MA
Life's challenges can feel overwhelming and isolating, and when you're stuck in the same patterns, it's hard to see a way forward. This is a space where that changes. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, emotional overwhelm, or simply feeling lost, you'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space here to slow down, make sense of what's happening, and begin moving toward something better. The goal isn't just to cope, it's to genuinely understand yourself, replace what's holding you back with habits that actually nourish you, and reconnect with what brings you peace and fulfillment.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, drawing on evidence-based therapies that target both symptom relief and deeper lasting change. I specialize in working with trauma, brain injuries, and ADHD, and have built my practice around helping clients in these areas feel truly understood. Together we'll work not just toward insight, but toward real, meaningful change, so you leave sessions feeling more grounded, more connected to yourself, and more equipped to navigate your life and relationships.

Amanda Stokes
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, E-RYT 500
I believe everyone can benefit from working with a therapist. It provides an opportunity to talk openly and confidentially with someone whose sole intent is to form an alliance with you, for your wellbeing, but also to be able to witness your pain while in safe connection. I hope to guide you through any personal pain or suffering you may be experiencing and to help you gain clarity around your thoughts, emotions and to understand your life and experiences from a different perspective. I teach clients how to be with and process their emotions and to recognize nervous system dysregulation, negative thought patterns and potential trauma responses. Compassionately, we can look at trauma responses and other adaptive coping mechanisms as your psyche's way of protecting you. From that place, we might be able to heal and process emotional responses and choose new ways of behaving and thinking.

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.

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.
