Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Sometimes life can leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. You may be navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, ADHD, disordered eating, family stress, or the impact of difficult or unsafe relationships. Whatever brings you to therapy, you do not have to figure it out alone.
I work with youth, adults, and couples to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences, build on your strengths, and move toward healing and growth. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that therapy should be tailored to the person in front of me.
Together, we can explore patterns, develop practical tools, strengthen emotional regulation, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that feels manageable. Taking the first step can feel intimidating, but reaching out for support is a sign of strength.

Audrey Kao
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
You keep repeating the same painful patterns in your relationships, no matter who you're with. Maybe you're actively dating, and you find yourself reading into every shift in their tone, chasing reassurance, or losing yourself trying to be who you think they want. Maybe you keep going back to an ex even though it leaves you feeling worse each time. Or maybe you're in a committed relationship that's become a cycle of conflict and resentment, and you're tired of having the same fight on repeat. The exhausting part is that it keeps happening, and it's starting to shape how you see yourself.
If any of this feels familiar, you're in the right place. I'm a Registered Social Worker who helps people in their 20s and 30s make real, lasting changes in how they relate. My style is warm and practical, and I'll challenge you rather than just nod along.
Using attachment theory, we'll trace where these patterns began and build the security to break them.
These patterns can change. As you build real security within yourself, those painful patterns stop running the show, and you get to choose how you show up instead. You can feel calm and confident, whether partnered or single. The first step is a free, no-pressure meet & greet call—just reach out to set one up. I'd love to hear from you!

Melissa Huang
Registered Psychotherapist, (Qualifying), MA
Life's challenges can feel overwhelming and isolating, and when you're stuck in the same patterns, it's hard to see a way forward. This is a space where that changes. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, emotional overwhelm, or simply feeling lost, you'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space here to slow down, make sense of what's happening, and begin moving toward something better. The goal isn't just to cope, it's to genuinely understand yourself, replace what's holding you back with habits that actually nourish you, and reconnect with what brings you peace and fulfillment.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, drawing on evidence-based therapies that target both symptom relief and deeper lasting change. I specialize in working with trauma, brain injuries, and ADHD, and have built my practice around helping clients in these areas feel truly understood. Together we'll work not just toward insight, but toward real, meaningful change, so you leave sessions feeling more grounded, more connected to yourself, and more equipped to navigate your life and relationships.

Kayla Rivera
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
I believe meaningful change begins when you feel truly seen and safe enough to be honest. Many of the people I work with are high achievers and caregivers who have spent a long time holding it together, even while feeling anxious, disconnected, or drained. They’re often tired of people pleasing, overthinking, or repeating relationship patterns that leave them feeling unseen.
Before I became a therapist, I was a classically trained pianist. Music taught me how to listen closely, notice what’s unspoken, and sit with emotion without rushing it away. That early foundation shaped the way I work now: with patience, attunement, and deep respect for your story.
In therapy, we’ll gently unpack what’s keeping you stuck, build emotion regulation and self trust, and help you move toward balance, clarity, and more secure connections. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Sherine Chacko
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Hi, I’m Sherine Chacko, a Registered Social Worker with over 16 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through emotional, relational, and life challenges.
I often work with clients who look like they are managing on the outside but feel overwhelmed internally. You may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship stress, emotional reactivity, lack of motivation, or a sense of disconnection from yourself. You may be seeking coping strategies, but also wanting to understand yourself more deeply.
My goal is to create a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space where you can speak openly, feel understood, and begin making meaningful changes. I believe therapy works best when it is collaborative. I do not see my role as doing the work for you, but as walking alongside you as you develop insight, confidence, emotional clarity, and practical tools for your life.
I also believe that no person exists in isolation. Your relationships, culture, values, faith, family history, and life experiences all matter. In therapy, we will consider the full context of who you are — not just your symptoms.
