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.

Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions, trapped in cycles of unhealthy behaviours, or the impacts of past trauma? Do your emotions lead you to engage in patterns you wish you could break?

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.

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.

Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
I became a therapist because I know what it's like to keep moving while carrying more than you let on.
I'm Ekta — a Registered Psychotherapist in Toronto working with women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and BIPOC and Indigenous clients who are tired of holding everything together while quietly unravelling inside. My clients are thoughtful, self-aware, and deeply capable. They're also exhausted in a way that rest doesn't fix.
What I offer isn't a formula. It's a real conversation — one that gets underneath the noise and into what's actually driving the patterns. That's where change begins.

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.

Adrienne Sharma-Richardson PhD MEd RP OCT
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Gestalt Psychotherapist Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Gottman Trained Couples Therapist
As a gestalt psychotherapist, who pairs gestalt training with somatic experiencing I can help support you in healing from your trauma.
No one in the Niagara Region utilizes the combination of these therapies and applies them to working with couples in crisis. Gottman (couples) and Post Induction Therapy training (relational/developmental trauma)
I am sorry to say but popular approaches to healing trauma like CBT will provide only temporary relief at best.
If you want to get to the root of your trauma and heal somatic experiencing (SE) is what you need and when supported with the power of relational gestalt therapy you will shift your shit!
SE focuses on regulating your nervous system.
With SE work trauma responses are completed and energy is released back into the system and with this the resolution and disappearance of physical complaints, including headaches, digestive problems, and pain syndromes can be resolved, and emotional regulation can be restored.
I will teach you how to work with your stress response - the body's innate alarm system in response to a perceived danger, also called the "Fight or Flight" response.
It is highly adaptive to danger and human survival when threats are physical, but less so when threats are psychological, or imaginary, among other somatic and relational skills.
I have been trained under Dr Abi Blakeslee part of Dr Peter A Levine's legacy group out of California for Somatic Experiencing and the late great Dr Bud Feder the author of Beyond the Hot Seat was on my dissertation committee overseeing a phenomenological study of the effectiveness of a gestalt therapy group I created to reduce stress in working informal caregivers of the elderly. I named the group process Stressed WOW (We Overloaded with Work).
Gestalt therapy is an extremely complex psychotherapy, too complex to describe in this short space.
The power of its effectiveness can only be experienced.
Most present day therapies have stolen bits and pieces of its praxis.
Get the whole again with a holistic, here and now, experiential therapy.
I am here for you... I've got your six!
