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. Working with a therapist can help you examine the sources of stress in your life and to develop alternative responses aimed to improve your well-being. 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.

Phyllis Wai Ng
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, CCC
Stress is a normal response to life's demands, and especially in today's society, it's becoming more and more common. But chronic stress has very negative impacts on both your mental and physical well-being. Behavioural symptoms of stress include eating more or less, sleeping too much or too little, with drawing from others. Physical symptoms of stress include but is not limited to aches and pains, nausea or dizziness, chest pain or rapid heart rate. Emotional symptoms of stress includes but is not limited to feeling overwhelmed, loneliness and isolation, anxiety, depression. Therapy can help you find healthy coping mechanisms to the stresses that come with life. Getting rest, learning to relax, exercising, and connecting with people are only a few of the many ways.

Anxiety is anticipating something evil to happen in the future, which brings stress to the person and interrupts the routine and healthy psychological function. The anxiety itself is a necessary part of everyday life, but when it becomes extreme, it can cause harm for our mental health. To learn how to manage anxiety and cope with the stress is a skill that is needed to cope with everyday problems as well as traumatic experiences in life.

Samantha Mirarchi | Wild Sage Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
When stress becomes constant, it can start to affect everything, including your sleep, mood, energy, relationships, and even your sense of self. You might feel like you’re always on edge, juggling a million things, or just one small inconvenience away from completely burning out.
In therapy, we help you slow down, make sense of what’s contributing to your stress, and learn practical tools to manage it more effectively. We’ll also explore the deeper patterns, like people-pleasing, perfectionism, or over-responsibility, that might be driving your overwhelm.

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.
