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.

of Salt & Sky Therapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP
At of Salt & Sky, we’ve created a practice for the messy, complicated parts of being human. The things that happened years ago but still show up today. Relationships that leave you questioning yourself. A body or illness that has changed the life you thought you’d have. The exhaustion of holding everything together, or the feeling that somewhere along the way, you lost a little of yourself.
Our therapists don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. We bring different personalities, experiences, and approaches to the work, but share the same goal: to understand the person in front of us, not simply the problem that brought them through the door. Therapy here can be thoughtful and challenging, practical when you need it to be, and human enough that there’s room to laugh, too.

Maor Bernshtein, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
You’re tired of feeling this way, and you’re ready to change it because this isn’t the life you want to lead. It’s been too long since you felt like you knew who you were, not just theoretically, but practically too. I specialize in addiction, borderline personality disorder, and depression, among other concerns, and build on years of practice in healthcare, treatment, and crisis roles. Together, we will look at how your daily life is being affected, make sense of reactions that feel hard to control, and develop practical tools for difficult moments. I draw from IFS-informed parts work, relational, somatic and trauma-focused approaches, as well as DBT/CBT, to support greater stability, self-trust, and more honest, fulfilling relationships.

Accepting New Clients
Feeling like your mind doesn't slow down, no matter how hard you try? Maybe you're overwhelmed, burnt out, or stuck in patterns you're not sure how to step out of, or navigating ADHD, anxiety, grief, or chronic health challenges without knowing where to turn. Maybe you're trying to understand yourself more clearly, or figure out how to move forward in a way that actually feels sustainable.
Together, we can slow things down, build insight, and help you feel more grounded and confident day-to-day. We'll start with a free consultation call.
I work with individuals 16+ from diverse backgrounds, including 2SLGBTQA+ and neurodivergent communities, as well as those living with chronic illness or disability. Currently completing my Master's degree, I offer a space that is affirming, compassionate, and non-judgmental. Somewhere you can show up without the mask.
My approach draws on CBT, ACT, DBT, ERP, and trauma-informed, mindfulness-based practices. I support clients with anxiety, burnout, OCD and phobias, ADHD, grief, life transitions, women's health, and chronic health concerns. Sessions adapt to you, with a focus on connection, emotional regulation, and practical strategies that fit your real life.

Jennifer Morley
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MA, BSc, BA, CCPA
It’s not easy being human right now. Especially when you’re carrying anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, or the quiet exhaustion that comes from holding everything together for everyone else. I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves or the people they care about, and who are ready for meaningful change.
My approach to therapy is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I draw from evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, helping clients build insight, emotional regulation, and healthier patterns in relationships. I place strong emphasis on safety, trust, and understanding the whole person, not just the symptoms that brought them to therapy.
I have extensive experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, high stress, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. I believe therapy should feel like a space where you don’t have to perform, explain away your feelings, or have it all figured out. Together, we slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and work toward greater clarity, connection, and emotional ease.
