Alicia Gandhi
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying)/Intern Therapist
Therapy is a space where you can put yourself first, dedicating time and attention to your needs in a demanding and chaotic world. Here, you can find solace in a safe and welcoming environment, where we focus entirely on you and your unique journey.
As a therapist, I am devoted to offering you kindness, compassion, and empathy as we navigate this transformative journey together. Drawing from the modalities of mindfulness, somatic, and narrative therapies, I believe in a holistic approach to healing. Whether you're seeking to understand and process the past or looking for guidance in figuring out the next steps in your life, I am here to support you at your own pace, without any restrictions or judgments. I want you to feel seen, heard, and deeply understood in our therapeutic journey. Together, we'll explore your emotions and thoughts, create space for self-compassion, and unearth the wisdom and resilience that reside within you. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy and collaboration. We'll work as a team, acknowledging your unique experiences and strengths as we seek to foster growth and empowerment.
Finding the right fit in therapy is essential, and I offer free consultations to ensure our partnership feels comfortable and aligned. Your journey to healing and transformation begins with that initial step, and I am here, ready to support you in every step.

Ashley Ferraccioli
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying)/Intern Therapist
Life can be unpredictable and can present challenging experiences that are hard to navigate on our own. During these times, we can feel overwhelmed, especially if we experience high levels of stress or anxiety, struggle in managing emotions, or have experienced traumatic events in our life. Sometimes, we get so caught up in our negative thoughts that it can be hard to overtake them, and it may even feel impossible to stop them. They may even start interfering with your everyday life and you may lose sight of who you are.
I am passionate about helping people overcome challenges in their life, no matter what stage. I aim to support you by creating a calm and safe space where you can freely express yourself. Working collaboratively, I am committed to helping you explore and work through the challenges in your life.
I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if we are a good fit. Please feel free to reach out – I am here to help! I look forward to beginning this journey with you.

Malik Smith
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Starting therapy can feel like a hard decision, especially with a male therapist. I get that, and I'm here to make it easier. In our sessions, you'll find a space where you're truly listened to. We'll work on any anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships and any other issues you're struggling with. I use a range of different ways to help, all based on what works best for you.
I believe everyone has the inner strength to change and grow. We'll work together, at your pace, to find that strength. Whether you're dealing with tough times, wanting to grow personally, or just aiming to feel better, we're in this together. I'm here to help you find your way, feel stronger, and make the changes you're looking for.

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.
