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 can serve as a safe space to explore your feelings of resentment and forgiveness. 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.

Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MACP
Approach: Emotion-focused and trauma-informed therapy.
Forgiveness is never treated as something a client must provide. We explore anger, grief, hurt, boundaries, self-forgiveness, and what moving forward means for the individual. The focus is on healing rather than minimizing or excusing harmful behaviour.

Tamika Schilbe Cole
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, CECP
Forgiveness is hard for all of us at times, and cannot be forced. Sometime there are even good reasons why we aren't able to forgive. When our lack of forgiveness keeps us up at night or prevents us from experiencing joy, it's a good time to get professional support. Together we can unpack the nuances of your situation and work toward creating a freer and clearer path ahead.

Goran Kosanovic
Registered Psychotherapist, HBCom, MACP
Forgiveness can be one of the most powerful steps toward emotional healing, yet it can often feel challenging, especially when hurt, betrayal, or resentment run deep. Whether struggling to forgive others or oneself, solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) provides a pathway to release negative emotions, find inner peace, and regain a sense of control. Therapy helps individuals explore the benefits of forgiveness, not for the sake of others, but to free themselves from the burden of anger and pain. Forgiveness therapy focuses on building emotional resilience, improving self-compassion, and fostering healing to create healthier relationships and a more fulfilling life.

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.
