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.

Adrienne Sharma-Richardson PhD MEd RP OCT
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Gestalt Psychotherapist Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Gottman Trained Couples Therapist
As a gestalt psychotherapist, who pairs gestalt training with somatic experiencing I can help support you in healing from your trauma.
No one in the Niagara Region utilizes the combination of these therapies and applies them to working with couples in crisis. Gottman (couples) and Post Induction Therapy training (relational/developmental trauma)
I am sorry to say but popular approaches to healing trauma like CBT will provide only temporary relief at best.
If you want to get to the root of your trauma and heal somatic experiencing (SE) is what you need and when supported with the power of relational gestalt therapy you will shift your shit!
SE focuses on regulating your nervous system.
With SE work trauma responses are completed and energy is released back into the system and with this the resolution and disappearance of physical complaints, including headaches, digestive problems, and pain syndromes can be resolved, and emotional regulation can be restored.
I will teach you how to work with your stress response - the body's innate alarm system in response to a perceived danger, also called the "Fight or Flight" response.
It is highly adaptive to danger and human survival when threats are physical, but less so when threats are psychological, or imaginary, among other somatic and relational skills.
I have been trained under Dr Abi Blakeslee part of Dr Peter A Levine's legacy group out of California for Somatic Experiencing and the late great Dr Bud Feder the author of Beyond the Hot Seat was on my dissertation committee overseeing a phenomenological study of the effectiveness of a gestalt therapy group I created to reduce stress in working informal caregivers of the elderly. I named the group process Stressed WOW (We Overloaded with Work).
Gestalt therapy is an extremely complex psychotherapy, too complex to describe in this short space.
The power of its effectiveness can only be experienced.
Most present day therapies have stolen bits and pieces of its praxis.
Get the whole again with a holistic, here and now, experiential therapy.
I am here for you... I've got your six!

John Harrison, CFIR St Catharines
Counsellor/Therapist, PhD
Welcome, I’m glad you’re here. If you are reading this, you are considering making a change in your life by looking for a therapist. Change can be scary. I want to celebrate your strength that brought you to this powerful, and perhaps daunting, first step on your path to self-discovery and growth. Whatever pain and suffering you have endured; you no longer have to face alone. I want to honor and respect your courage by committing to co-creating and nurturing a non-judgemental space where you feel physically and psychologically safe, seen, and valued. When we have built a trusting relationship, we can begin to explore the patterns of emotions, thoughts, and behaviours that are negatively impacting your life. In my collaborative approach to therapy, you are the expert on your life; my role, through my knowledge of therapeutic processes and interventions, is to support, encourage, and travel alongside you on your journey.

Meredith Bailey - Redefining Relationships
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, MACP, RP
Life can move fast – sometimes faster than we can make sense of. A relationship ends, a family grows, work starts to go downhill. Sometimes there’s no single turning point—just a growing sense of feeling lost or that something needs to change.
You may be trying to understand a recurring relationship pattern, adjusting to parenthood, grieving a loss, or looking for more room to be yourself. You don’t need a neatly defined problem to bring to therapy.
Our work begins with understanding your experience: what feels difficult, what matters to you, and what you hope might be different. I bring curiosity, clinical training, and a down-to-earth approach. You bring knowledge of your own life. Together, we can make space for honest conversations, explore patterns, and consider changes that fit your circumstances.
I offer therapy for individuals and couples aged 18 and older, with in-person appointments in Burlington and virtual sessions for clients in Ontario and British Columbia. I am registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and a member of the Canadian Counselling & Psychotherapy Association.
My new-client consultation appointments are 30 minutes long, giving you ample opportunity to ask questions, talk about what you need, and see how it feels to connect with me. I call it a “vibe check”—there’s value in taking time to find someone you feel comfortable speaking openly with.
