Rubina Gogna
Registered Psychotherapist, B.A., M.A., Registered Psychotherapist
*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENT'S* I am so glad you are here and putting forth your needs first or maybe you are here because your friend or family member needs support or you are just tired of feeling this ‘Numb’ feeling and you want some answers as to “Why are you feeling this way? or asking yourself “Why don’t I feel happy or sad anymore?”, “Why am I like this?”, What is wrong with me? If I have made you question yourself right now then you are in the right place with the right person. As your therapist, I will help you explore all these feelings.

Alicia Panchal
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I truly believe that each and every one of us holds the strength to transform ourselves and our lives in a meaningful way - sometimes, we just need a little support to get there. Specializing in anxiety, eating disorders, body image, depression, self-esteem, and grief/ loss, my approach is client centred - recognizing that through the challenges, experiences, and traits that make us who we are, we deserve therapy that is unique to us.

Maya Oakes
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I recognize that starting therapy is not always the easiest choice; I'd like to acknowledge the courageous step you are taking to begin your journey. In our space together I will honour this strength and meet you where you’re at. My approach to therapy is to understand that you are the expert of your own life and you deserve an individualized treatment plan based on your unique needs, experiences, strengths and goals. There is no-one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, and as such, we will work together to understand what is needed in our space together to best support you. Together, we will work to establish goals, build resiliency and self-compassion, and identify effective coping skills and self-care tools.
I offer support to adolescents (13+) and adults experiencing issues related to anxiety, stress, depression, relationship concerns, trauma, grief, life transitions and self-esteem.
I would be honoured to be part of your therapy journey and I look forward to creating a safe space with you where you are offered the compassion and validation needed for processing, healing and growth.

Rhoda Lalog
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, Qualifying
As an HR Professional with over 20 years in the corporate world, my passion has always been about empowering people and working as a team. As a consultant, mentor, coach and now a therapist, my gift is helping you see the authenticity of your own strengths and superpowers. I truly believe that each person has the inner wisdom to embark on a path of self-care, balance and harmony but sometimes we may get stuck and need help along the way. I believe my role is to support you in uncovering the layers of unconscious, old-patterned beliefs that may have temporarily clouded your ability to live your best life. Together, we can co-create a space that allows you to feel safe enough to be radically honest in order to make incremental steps forward for lasting change. We all want to feel a sense of peace and stability in our lives. Through your journey of self-discovery in our sessions, my aim will be to guide you into seeing new perspectives, offer you a non-judgmental space for emotional acceptance and provide you with practical tools that will empower you to experience your mind, body and spirit in a holistic way.

Even when working through painful & challenging obstacles, I will ground you in your strengths while helping you develop new perspectives that strengthen, lead & inspire you.

I am passionate & commited to serving people like you.
I combine Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Extensional Therapy to help you develop the mental and emotional skills that allow you to be present and genuine, both with yourself and with others. These skills will help you learn to navigate & process challenging thoughts & emotions in ways that serve you and your purpose.
No matter what you're struggling with mentally, emotionally, or relationally, you will have the time & space to open up, heal, and cultivate skills. This process will not only get you unstuck but help you build the life you want to experience. There is always hope, even if you can't feel it. Are you ready for change?
