Selene Khosla
Marriage and Family Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying), MAP, PHD
There was a time when I thought being strong meant holding everything together, smiling through exhaustion, pushing past doubt, and showing up even when it hurt. But beneath all that effort was a quiet truth: I was tired of surviving and ready to start living. That realization changed everything.
Becoming a therapist wasn’t just a career decision, it was a calling to understand the messy, beautiful, and complicated parts of being human. I’ve faced my own moments of uncertainty and know how difficult it can be to ask for help. That’s why the space I offer isn’t about fixing, it’s about softening, slowing down, and finding your voice again amidst the noise.
I’ve come to believe that healing often begins in the ordinary, in the small, quiet moments of pausing, noticing, and simply breathing. It’s within these gentle pauses that we start to reconnect with ourselves, remember what truly matters, and find the courage to move forward, even when life feels heavy.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to take it alone. I offer a warm, supportive space to explore what’s been weighing on you and what you’d like to shift or understand more deeply. If you’re curious about beginning, reach out to schedule a consultation, we’ll talk about your goals, your hopes for therapy, and see if working together feels like the right fit for you.

Samantha Duarte Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP
You may be used to carrying a lot for everyone else. Perhaps you're a frontline worker, helping professional, or someone who has spent years putting others' needs before your own. On the outside, you may seem like you're managing, but underneath you feel exhausted, anxious, disconnected, or unsure how to slow down.
I work with adults navigating burnout, grief, trauma, life transitions, and the impact of difficult experiences. Many of the people I support feel stuck in survival mode- going through the motions while feeling disconnected from themselves and the things that once brought them joy.
My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in nervous system awareness. Together, we'll explore what has been weighing on you, build a deeper understanding of your patterns and experiences, and develop tools to help you feel more present, connected, and resilient. Therapy moves at your pace, creating space for both reflection and meaningful change.
As a Registered Psychotherapist and former anti-human trafficking caseworker, I understand what it's like to carry heavy stories and navigate complex systems. My goal is to offer a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported as you reconnect with yourself.
I offer in-person therapy in Mississauga and virtual therapy across Ontario. Free 15-minute consultations are available.

Ashley Bargent Coaching & Counselling
Registered Social Worker, Associate Certified Coach, ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider MSW, RSW, ACC, ADHD-CCSP
Work is draining the joy from your life. Your confidence is dropping and you’re not sure about this career anymore. Every workday, it’s harder to get out of bed. You’ve considered changing jobs but are scared you’re the problem. The idea of change feels overwhelming because you overthink and don’t know where to start. You long for a job where your strengths will shine and you can live up to your potential. But you aren’t sure if you’ll ever find a place where you belong, especially if you’re grappling with ADHD.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Therapy works best when you feel genuinely safe, understood, and able to speak openly. Many of my clients share that one of the most meaningful parts of our work together is not only the practical tools and strategies they gain, but also the sense of connection, honesty, and relief that comes from having a space where they can be real and experience real change.
My background includes social work, music therapy, palliative care, oncology, acute mental health, and service in the Canadian Armed Forces. I also bring lived experience with grief, trauma, chronic pain, and adversity, which deeply informs my compassionate and realistic approach.
I work with individuals who are often used to “holding it together” on the outside while internally feeling overwhelmed, burned out, disconnected, or stuck in painful patterns.
Together, we’ll figure out what actually works for you — not just generic advice. I take the time to understand your strengths, your struggles, and the deeper patterns that may be keeping you stuck so we can approach challenges in a way that feels realistic and meaningful.
We can do more than just manage symptoms or get through the day. My goal is to help you build a life that feels worthwhile.

Shelley Murphy, Food & Body Image Hypnotherapist
Hypnotherapist, BASc, Former RD
I believe that meaningful change doesn’t come from forcing or fixing yourself, it comes from understanding yourself more deeply, and learning how to work with your mind and body, rather than against them. In my work as a clinical hypnotherapist, I often meet people who are capable, thoughtful, and self-aware, yet feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, overthinking, emotional eating, or self-doubt. These patterns can feel frustrating, especially when you’ve “tried everything” to change them. What I’ve seen, time and time again, is that real, lasting change happens when we gently access the deeper parts of the mind where these patterns are held. This is where hypnotherapy can be incredibly effective; supporting you to shift not just how you think, but how you feel, respond, and experience yourself day to day.

James "Jamie" Myslik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Hi! I've been a practicing counsellor for eighteen years working with folks from all walks of life with all the challenges that life throws at them, such as work stress, life transitions, relationship stress, bereavement and loss, ageing, histories of trauma, concerns around sex and sexuality, and much more. Oftentimes those issues show up through anxiety, depression, shame, anger, social anxiety, or just feeling overwhelmed. I like to help folks connect to their emotions, deal with their stresses, and generally build the life they're looking for. In feedback from my clients I'm told I'm compassionate, non-judgemental, easy to open up to, and offer a good balance of working with the head and the heart. I also bring a lot of humour to sessions.
While I'm a generalist practitioner, I often work with 2SLGBTQIA+ folks (and am queer myself), men, and people looking to explore their emotional selves.
I currently offer individual therapy for adults online, and can offer walk-and-talk and nature therapy if our locations allow.
