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 spend so much time taking care of others that you've forgotten what it feels like to take care of yourself. I work with adults experiencing burnout, trauma, grief, anxiety, and major life transitions, with a special interest in supporting social workers, caseworkers, healthcare professionals, and first-generation individuals. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and grounded in nervous system regulation, helping you better understand yourself, process difficult experiences, and build lasting change.
My goal is to provide a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. Together, we'll work at a pace that feels right for you as you reconnect with yourself and move toward the life you want to live. I welcome any questions and offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if we're the right fit.

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.

Maddie Serhal - Limitless Living Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, MC, BSc
Hey there!
My name is Maddie - and if you're looking for a relatable therapist with whom you will likely share many laughs, keep reading!
I work with teens, young adults, students, and adults of all ages in person in Hamilton, and virtually all across Ontario.
Therapy can be both challenging and delightful, we can make jokes, tune into the language of the body, be creative, cry, be silly, and also have deep, profound moments of self-discovery.
During our sessions, I aim to bring a mix of compassion, warmth, honesty, humour, and a touch of play to our work together. Life can be an interesting rollercoaster, full of ups, downs, and intense loop-de-loops that make you feel nauseous, and you don't have to ride it alone. If you're keen to keep growing and deepening your self-awareness, I’d be happy to hop on this wild ride alongside you.

Oakville is one of the most affluent municipalities in Canada — a well-established Toronto suburb with a high median household income, well-funded schools, and a therapy culture that reflects the stresses of high-achieving, upper-middle-class suburban family life. The city's concentration of executives, professionals, and their families creates demand for therapists working with relationship complexity, parenting under pressure, and the psychological costs of maintaining prosperity and family cohesion. Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community. Oakville's growing diversity — with expanding South Asian and East Asian communities in its newer residential subdivisions — is gradually broadening the range of cultural frameworks therapists need to engage with.
