Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
Madeleine Krupl
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I don’t see people as problems to fix, but as humans with stories to be held, pain to be witnessed, and strengths to be illuminated. My role is a steady, compassionate presence—curious, culturally humble, and practical—so you can feel safer, think more clearly, and make changes that last. Together we’ll move at your pace, building skills and resilience while we heal what hurts.

Ferozan Nasiri
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
As a therapist with over nine years of experience, my practice is deeply rooted in connection, compassion, and evidence-based care. I’ve supported individuals, families, and communities through life transitions, anxiety, addiction, and life’s toughest moments. Whether in schools, hospitals, or my therapy practice, I provide a warm, client-centred space where healing, growth, and resilience can thrive.
I’m passionate about creating a safe, supportive environment where you can explore your inner strengths and foster self-awareness to help make meaningful, lasting change. My approach is collaborative and empathetic, using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI).

Kayla Rivera
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
I believe meaningful change begins when you feel truly seen and safe enough to be honest. Many of the people I work with are high achievers and caregivers who have spent a long time holding it together, even while feeling anxious, disconnected, or drained. They’re often tired of people pleasing, overthinking, or repeating relationship patterns that leave them feeling unseen.
Before I became a therapist, I was a classically trained pianist. Music taught me how to listen closely, notice what’s unspoken, and sit with emotion without rushing it away. That early foundation shaped the way I work now: with patience, attunement, and deep respect for your story.
In therapy, we’ll gently unpack what’s keeping you stuck, build emotion regulation and self trust, and help you move toward balance, clarity, and more secure connections. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

When life gets noisy, therapy should feel steady and useful. I’m a psychotherapist with Durham Psychotherapy, and my clients describe me as clear, warm, and evidence-based. Together we’ll reduce symptoms fast—worry, panic, low mood, intrusive thoughts, trauma memories, burnout—while also addressing the patterns that keep them returning. You set the pace; I bring proven methods and practical coaching so change actually sticks. Let’s talk, book a free 15-minute consultation, no pressure.

Ashleigh Bell
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Qualifying
I work with teens and adults who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, low mood, shame, people-pleasing, or addictive patterns and are tired of doing it alone. In a warm, non-judgmental space—online across Ontario and in-person in Pickering—I’ll help you slow down, understand what’s really going on underneath the symptoms, and build practical tools so you can feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your life.

Jessica Batres - Raices Flourish
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Feeling stretched too thin? You're not alone.
If you're dealing with anxiety, burnout, or the exhausting cycle of perfectionism and people-pleasing, I get it. Life transitions—whether it's becoming a parent, navigating career shifts, or simply trying to figure out who you are outside of everyone's expectations—can leave you feeling depleted and disconnected.
Maybe you've checked all the boxes but still feel empty. Or you're so busy managing everyone else's emotions that you've lost track of your own. Anxiety shows up as overthinking, second-guessing, never feeling like you've done enough. Depression makes everything feel harder than it should be. And burnout? It's that deep exhaustion that rest doesn't fix.
Therapy doesn't have to be one more thing on your to-do list. It's a space where you can actually breathe, sort through what's happening, and build a life that feels like yours—not just one you're surviving. Whether you're wrestling with parenting challenges, trying to break free from old patterns, or simply need someone who sees the weight you're carrying—I'm here.
You don't have to keep doing this alone.

Britney Victor
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Your days look successful to others, yet anxiety races beneath the surface. You lie awake replaying conversations, feel your chest tighten in meetings, and wonder why simple tasks drain all your energy. You may catch yourself scrolling, overeating, or snapping at people you love, then feel guilty. Deep down you want calm, confidence, and relationships that don’t exhaust you. You’re ready to understand where these stress loops come from and finally learn skills to break them so you can show up at work, at home, and for yourself with steady ease.
I blend evidence-based tools—CBT, DBT, mindfulness—with a warm, anti-oppressive lens. Together we map the patterns driving your stress, teach body-based calming skills, challenge rigid thoughts, and practise boundary-setting. Every session ends with a concrete exercise so progress feels immediate and measurable.
Therapy is a big step, and fit matters. Visit my website and book a free 15-minute consult, or tap the email button, and I’ll get back to you. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us via phone or email. If I’m not the best fit, I’ll connect you to someone who is. Relief starts with one step; take it today.

If you’re feeling stuck in patterns that keep repeating, anxiety, conflict, disconnection, shame, or trauma reactions that won’t let go, you’re not alone.

My style is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed, with a strong focus on helping you feel heard, respected, and supported while we build practical steps toward change.
