Ashley Bargent Coaching & Counselling
Registered Social Worker, Associate Certified Coach, ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider MSW, RSW, ACC, ADHD-CCSP
Work is draining the joy from your life. Your confidence is dropping and you’re not sure about this career anymore. Every workday, it’s harder to get out of bed. You’ve considered changing jobs but are scared you’re the problem. The idea of change feels overwhelming because you overthink and don’t know where to start. You long for a job where your strengths will shine and you can live up to your potential. But you aren’t sure if you’ll ever find a place where you belong, especially if you’re grappling with ADHD.

James "Jamie" Myslik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Hi! I've been a practicing counsellor for eighteen years working with folks from all walks of life with all the challenges that life throws at them, such as work stress, life transitions, relationship stress, bereavement and loss, ageing, histories of trauma, concerns around sex and sexuality, and much more. Oftentimes those issues show up through anxiety, depression, shame, anger, social anxiety, or just feeling overwhelmed. I like to help folks connect to their emotions, deal with their stresses, and generally build the life they're looking for. In feedback from my clients I'm told I'm compassionate, non-judgemental, easy to open up to, and offer a good balance of working with the head and the heart. I also bring a lot of humour to sessions.
While I'm a generalist practitioner, I often work with 2SLGBTQIA+ folks (and am queer myself), men, and people looking to explore their emotional selves.
I currently offer individual therapy for adults online, and can offer walk-and-talk and nature therapy if our locations allow.

Mariya Garnet
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist ( Qualifying)
When everything looks right but something still feels off, somatic, trauma-focused therapy is where the work begins.
You already recognize the pattern. Understanding it hasn't closed the gap between knowing and feeling, because the real shift happens in the body, not the story.
Maybe you've done therapy already, and you still don't have what you came for: the ability to make a decision without arguing with yourself, to feel present in your own life, to sleep without your mind still running.
What this supports, over time, is a slow and gentle return to aliveness.

Meaningfully Connected Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP or RP (Qualifying)
At Meaningfully Connected Counselling, meaningful connection is at the heart of everything we do. We are a team of compassionate therapists who support individuals feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or as though they are nearing a breaking point. Our goal is to help you better understand your inner world and develop a greater sense of clarity, balance, and agency so you can begin to feel that you have real options again.
We believe healing begins when every part of you is welcomed with compassion — even the parts that feel anxious, guarded, ashamed, angry, uncertain, or hard to understand. Rather than pushing those parts away, we work alongside you to gently explore them with curiosity and care, helping you develop a deeper and more integrated relationship with yourself.
Our approach is grounded in authentic human connection, compassion, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches. We believe lasting healing happens within safe and supportive relationships where you feel seen, heard, and understood. Our therapists draw from a range of modern and effective modalities while remaining deeply attuned to your unique story, pace, and needs.
For clients who desire it, we also thoughtfully integrate faith and spirituality into the therapeutic process. We honour the role that faith, meaning, and connection to something greater can play in healing, growth, and restoration.
Through the meaningful connection you build with your therapist, you can develop a deeper understanding of your thoughts, emotions, body, relationships, and the many parts that make you who you are. This deeper self-connection can help you show up more fully — for yourself, for others, and for the life you want to create.

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.
