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.

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.

In a warm, non-judgmental space—online across Ontario and in-person in Pickering—I’ll help you slow down, understand what’s really going on underneath the symptoms, and build practical tools so you can feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your life.
