Mindful Connections Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist
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.
Our approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, drawing on evidence-based therapies that target both symptom relief and deeper lasting change. We 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.

Sara Ahmadzadeh
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Sometimes, the hardest part isn't knowing that something needs to change; it's finding your way back to yourself when life has left you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unlike the person you used to be. Online therapy offers a space to untangle what's weighing on you, make sense of your experiences, and begin moving toward a life that feels more like your own. You don't have to have the right words, a clear plan, or everything figured out to begin. Just start where you are, and we'll take it from there.

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!

Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Helping women find their footing through life’s biggest changes: perimenopause, postpartum, fertility, cancer and caregiving, burnout, and the pressures of family and culture. What makes my practice different is depth you won’t find in a textbook. I spent three years supporting people living with cancer and their caregivers, a decade working with communities across India, Africa and Europe, and I’ve rebuilt my own life in a new country as a mother without my village. I weave ancient wisdom with modern neuroscience, blending evidence-based therapy with yoga, breath and mindfulness, so you leave each session feeling calmer and carrying something you can use. Every session moves at your pace, in English or Hindi. If you’ve been holding everything together and quietly losing yourself, let’s talk.
