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.

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.

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.

Brianne Roy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Do you find yourself questioning your relationships, your identity, or where your life is heading? You might be burned out from masking or holding it together, drained from a separation or life change, or noticing distance growing between you and your partner. Perhaps you're navigating neurodivergence, stuck in codependency, or grieving a life that didn't go as planned. You may not remember the last time you felt truly like yourself. But something in you is ready for change. You want to feel steady, understood, and clear about your next step. I can help you slow down, make sense of what's happening, and begin moving forward.
I work with adults, couples and families navigating anxiety, burnout, neurodivergence, codependency, identity exploration, relationship conflict and life transitions. I focus on attachment patterns, ADHD and Autism masking, premarital counselling, separation and divorce recovery, and supporting diverse identities and non-traditional relationship structures.
Clients come to me when they want a therapist who sees the full picture, not just the surface. Sessions are warm, collaborative, and never rushed. I meet you where you are and we work at your pace. You don't need the right words or a clear goal before reaching out. I offer a free consultation so we can explore whether working together feels right.

Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
My journey into this field is deeply personal. Having lived with anxiety, navigated grief, and taken on caregiving responsibilities early in life, I became committed to understanding mental health not only intellectually but in ways that could support genuine coping and healing.
I understand what it can feel like to be stuck, lost, or caught in what seems like an endless loop of discouragement and emotional fatigue. These experiences have shaped the empathy and perspective I bring to my work.
Through my work with individuals from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds, I have come to believe that human resilience is universal. Even in the most difficult circumstances, people find ways to endure and move forward. As a therapist, my goal is to support you in rediscovering your inner strength—helping you find clarity, reconnect with yourself, and rebuild a sense of hope and trust in your path forward.

Mississauga is one of Canada's largest cities and a major commercial hub anchored by multinational corporate headquarters along its City Centre corridor, creating sustained demand for therapists specializing in workplace stress, burnout, and the pressures of corporate culture. The city is exceptionally diverse — with large South Asian, Caribbean, and East Asian populations among the most multicultural in Canada — and multilingual therapists offering culturally grounded care are especially well represented. Trillium Health Partners Credit Valley Hospital provides institutional mental health services, with a private practice community serving Cooksville, Port Credit, and Erin Mills. Many Mississauga residents also access therapy in Toronto or through telehealth, given the city's proximity to the Greater Toronto Area's broader therapy ecosystem.
