Client Care, Atrium
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
When someone is struggling, I try to understand the full story of their experiences rather than focusing only on symptoms or labels. I’m often curious about how early experiences, family dynamics, and past relationships may have shaped the way someone sees themselves, others, and the world around them. Unresolved childhood experiences can play a powerful role in how we interpret situations and respond emotionally, so part of our work may involve gently exploring those patterns and understanding how they continue to influence the present.

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.

Semra Lamky, Emotional Peace Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), MACP, Bsc
I hold a space where each person can be fully seen, heard, and met exactly where they are, with empathy, curiosity, and zero judgment. As a trauma-informed psychotherapist, I understand how past experiences can shape the way we relate to ourselves, others, and the world. I integrate EMDR, CBT, DBT, EFT, Solution-Focused, narrative and psychodynamic approaches to support healing not just at the surface, but at a deep, meaningful level.
Therapy with me is not about fixing you, because you are not broken. It’s about helping you reconnect with your strengths, untangle painful patterns, and move toward the life you want to live. I work collaboratively, honouring your pace and your story, and tailoring our work to what truly resonates for you.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking to understand yourself better, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and care. If you're ready to explore what’s been holding you back—and what’s possible—I invite you to reach out. You don’t have to do this alone.

Svetlana Levinta
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MEd
I am a Registered Psychotherapist serving individuals, couples, and families in Ontario. Since starting my practice here in Ontario, I have been given the privilege of helping clients overcome their relationship struggles and move forward with their lives. I work collaboratively to set goals with clients, helping them resolve personal problems, conflict in the family, and more. My services are available in two languages: English and Russian. Apart from locals, I also serve immigrants from Eastern and Central Europe, Russia, and other countries. I can offer a more personalized service since I know the culture, social processes, values, and traditions.

Manisha Grewal
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (Hons), MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Do you tend to replay past events in your mind over and over, and spiral into worries about the future? Do you struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, or relationships, causing you to "overgive" to others while abandoning your own needs? Many people describe feeling like they’re moving through life on autopilot — weighed down by overthinking, low mood, or the pressure to keep everyone else happy. You might notice people-pleasing tendencies, difficulty maintaining boundaries, or a pattern of overgiving that leaves you drained, ungrounded, and disconnected from yourself. Here, you’ll find a warm, calm space where your feelings are validated and your voice genuinely matters. Together, we’ll engage in meaningful, deep processing work, explore what's fuelling your distress, and gently uncover the deeper experiences and patterns shaping your emotional world. Alongside this, we’ll build practical tools to regulate your nervous system and ease your symptoms in the present, helping you reconnect with a more empowered, resilient, and self-aware version of yourself. I bring the richness of three cultures, four languages, and the lived experience of being both a first- and third-generation immigrant. My background in the medical field also allows me to integrate physiological and psychological insight. These parts of who I am allow me to deeply empathize with the immigrant journey across generations, as well as the ways culture, family expectations, and identity can shape mental health. No matter your background or story, I aim to meet you with genuine understanding, respect, and compassion. I am a proud ally to LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC communities and offer inclusive, compassionate care for all backgrounds and lived experiences. If what I’ve shared resonates, we may be a good fit. If you're curious about working together, let's start with a free, no-pressure 30-min video consultation, where we can connect and chat in a calm, relaxed space.
