**2026: ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS**
Are you looking for a trauma therapist in Ontario or an experienced anxiety therapist who understands how overwhelming life can feel? Whether you're struggling with trauma, anxiety, panic attacks, chronic stress, childhood experiences, relationship challenges, or feeling "stuck," you don't have to navigate it alone.
Alexis Bergeron, MSW, BSW, is a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist providing virtual therapy across Ontario for teens (12+) and adults. She specializes in helping people recover from trauma, PTSD, anxiety disorders, panic attacks, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions using evidence-based therapy tailored to each client's unique needs.
Alexis believes healing begins with feeling safe. Therapy isn't about being told what to do- it's about working together to understand your experiences, calm your nervous system, develop practical coping skills, and build a life that feels meaningful again. Whether you've experienced a single traumatic event, childhood trauma, ongoing stress, or simply feel exhausted by anxiety, Alexis provides a compassionate, supportive space where lasting change can happen.
Alexis holds both a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) and Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Windsor. She has over six years of experience supporting individuals through mental health challenges in community mental health, eating disorder treatment, bereavement and hospice care, long-term care, and private practice.

What Therapy May Look Like
Every person is different, which is why Alexis creates individualized treatment plans rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions may include:
* Processing traumatic memories through EMDR Therapy
* Understanding how trauma affects the brain and nervous system
* Learning practical CBT strategies to change unhelpful thought patterns
* Building distress tolerance and emotion regulation using DBT skills
* Reducing anxiety and panic symptoms
* Increasing self-compassion and confidence
* Strengthening healthy relationships and boundaries
* Developing coping strategies you can use between sessions
Clients often describe Alexis as warm, approachable, genuine, and easy to talk to. She believes therapy should feel collaborative, not intimidating, and strives to create a space where clients feel understood without judgment.
Outside of work, Alexis enjoys spending time with her husband and two children, walking her dog, trying new recipes, and spending time outdoors. She understands the realities of balancing work, family, stress, and everyday life, and brings that understanding into her work with clients.

Kalyna Scherbluk
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Qualifying
Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or unsure of who you are anymore? Maybe you're navigating anxiety, depression, low self-worth, or relationship challenges. You might feel lost in transition—grappling with a recent change, a difficult past, or trying to break free from behaviours that leave you feeling disconnected. These emotions can be heavy and confusing, and it’s okay if you’re not sure where to start. I’m here to help you make sense of what you're feeling and why. Therapy with me offers a compassionate, person-centred space where your story is honoured and explored with curiosity, not judgment. With training in Emotion-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based, CBT, DBT, and Narrative Therapy, I offer an integrative, trauma-informed approach tailored to your needs. Together, we’ll explore the roots of your struggles, increase self-understanding, and work toward the emotional clarity and change you're seeking. You don’t have to carry these feelings alone. Whether you're navigating life transitions, feeling anxious or emotionally stuck, or looking to strengthen your sense of self and relationships, we can explore this together. Reach out to discuss how I can support you.

Suzanne St. John Smith
Counsellor/Therapist, M.A., M.A. (Psych.) FEA, C.C.C Relationship and Family Therapist; Life Coach
The reason clients return time after time, and year after year, is due to the fact that I've made it a priority to build a strong connection with them. I listen, I guide them when they ask, and I'm honest with my feedback. Simply, they trust me. and nothing could be more important to me or to them. And because my work has always felt like both an honour and a gift, I value the opportunity of being brought into the emotional lives of my clients where I can offer them the kind of safe space they may not have ever experienced previously.
