Chris Cowan
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, Bth
Your mental health challenges might seem overwhelming, but they offer you an amazing opportunity for healing and growth. I always strive to make therapy an uplifting & empowering experience. Even when working through painful & challenging obstacles, I will ground you in your strengths while helping you develop new perspectives that strengthen, lead & inspire you. I have had the honour of helping thousands of individuals through 15 years of counselling, 10 years of personal development coaching and speaking across Canada on emotional development, leadership and growth-mindset. I am passionate & commited to serving people like you.
I combine Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Extensional Therapy to help you develop the mental and emotional skills that allow you to be present and genuine, both with yourself and with others. These skills will help you learn to navigate & process challenging thoughts & emotions in ways that serve you and your purpose.
No matter what you're struggling with mentally, emotionally, or relationally, you will have the time & space to open up, heal, and cultivate skills. This process will not only get you unstuck but help you build the life you want to experience. There is always hope, even if you can't feel it. Are you ready for change?

Paighe Rojas
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
If you’re looking for a therapist who is both compassionate and direct, you’re in the right place. I support clients who look “fine” on the outside but feel emotionally exhausted, anxious, disconnected, or like they’re constantly carrying too much. In our work together, you can expect a steady space that helps you feel understood, build coping skills that actually work, and create lasting change—not just temporary relief. If you’re ready to feel more grounded and confident in yourself, reach out and we’ll take the next step together.

Kristen See
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
My therapeutic style is neuro-affirming, relational, and eclectic. You can expect friendly banter, a collaborative process, the option to actually get to know your therapist (I'm not here to be a stranger to you), and an approach that shifts with your needs and goals rather than a textbook treatment plan. In short, some sessions may be rooted in skill work, others may require more trauma-informed care. I offer therapy that meets you where you're at.
I also understand that neurodivergent clients are neurodivergent 100% of the time - my goal is to provide a service that accommodates and accepts the ADHD / AuDHD experience.
Fun facts about me: I'm a millennial in my 30's, diagnosed with ADHD later in life, lover of cats, nature, and reality tv.

Veronica Lowe
Registered Psychotherapist, MC, RP, CCC
My goal is to help a person move toward wellness, one compassionate step at a time.
Finding balance in the face of anxiety, grief, or ADHD can feel overwhelming. My approach is rooted in the belief that therapy should be a collaborative, client-centered partnership. With years of experience—including a deep background at Western University’s Psychological Services—I blend evidence-based techniques like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with the restorative power of mindfulness and self-compassion.
Whether you’re visiting me in Whitby or connecting online, my goal is to provide you with a practical toolkit to manage panic and loss while building a life that feels authentic to you.

When life gets noisy, therapy should feel steady and useful. I’m a psychotherapist with Durham Psychotherapy, and my clients describe me as clear, warm, and evidence-based. Together we’ll reduce symptoms fast—worry, panic, low mood, intrusive thoughts, trauma memories, burnout—while also addressing the patterns that keep them returning. You set the pace; I bring proven methods and practical coaching so change actually sticks. Let’s talk, book a free 15-minute consultation, no pressure.

Madeleine Krupl
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I don’t see people as problems to fix, but as humans with stories to be held, pain to be witnessed, and strengths to be illuminated. My role is a steady, compassionate presence—curious, culturally humble, and practical—so you can feel safer, think more clearly, and make changes that last. Together we’ll move at your pace, building skills and resilience while we heal what hurts.
