Gal Zohar
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Ed.
True healing begins in a space where you feel safe, seen, and understood. I believe that when we are fully heard and accepted, we can begin to explore our experiences, uncover patterns that may have once kept us safe, and reconnect with our authentic selves. Together, we’ll explore the roots of your struggles, work through challenges with compassion, and foster lasting growth that ripples into your everyday life.

Jaswir Dhillon
Registered Psychotherapist, MA
You may feel stuck in patterns that keep repeating in your relationships, your sense of self, or the way you respond to life’s challenges. Early experiences, attachment patterns, and intergenerational trauma can shape how we relate to ourselves and others, often in ways we may not fully understand. I work with individuals and couples to explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, creating space for greater self-understanding, healing, and meaningful change.

Colin Hayward
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd
My goal in therapy is to create a space where you can say the things you haven’t felt able to say anywhere else. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who carry a lot on their own. They may talk things through with friends or family at times, but often hesitate to go too far because they don’t want to burden the people around them. In therapy, you have a place where you can speak freely and be fully heard.
Clients often tell me they’re surprised by how much they have to say once they begin. They may have spent years thinking through challenges in their lives, but haven’t had the opportunity to explore those thoughts out loud in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. My role isn’t to criticize the past, rush to conclusions, or tell you what decisions you should make. Instead, I focus on helping you understand your experiences, clarify what matters most to you, and find practical ways forward that feel authentic and sustainable.
I see therapy as a collaborative process that helps you better understand both your strengths and the challenges that come with them. Many qualities that serve us well in life—like sensitivity, dedication, or a strong work ethic—can also create difficulties when they become overwhelming or unbalanced. Together, we explore how these qualities shape your experiences, identify the patterns that may be holding you back, and build on the strengths that can help you move forward.
Sometimes this work involves learning specific tools or skills. Other times it involves taking the time to reflect, share important stories, and gain new perspective. Either way, my aim is to help you uncover resources within yourself that may have been overlooked and to support you in navigating difficult moments with greater clarity and confidence.
I tailor my approach to each person I work with because every individual’s experiences and goals are different. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, OCD, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can be a place to slow down, reflect, and make meaningful progress.

Simona Ilieva
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP
*Accepting New Clients* As a therapist, my goal is to help you navigate life’s challenges, empowering you to overcome the obstacles that hinder your ability to live a life aligned with your goals and values. My approach is grounded in the understanding that mental health is impacted by a multitude of factors. I recognize the profound impact that structural and systemic barriers can have on your well-being. These external pressures can often create feelings of frustration and hopelessness, making it difficult to find a path forward. In our work together, we will explore these external influences while focusing on your internal strengths. By identifying and acknowledging your resilience, we can work together to create the meaning change you are seeking in your life. I work with individuals 16+, couples, and families and offer a free 15-minute consultation to ensure I am the proper fit for your journey.
