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.

Reegan Bushby
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Hi! I’m currently welcoming individual clients ages 16+ as well as couples. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for depression, anxiety (including social, health, and generalized anxiety), panic disorder, phobias, trauma/PTSD, and OCD. Beyond these areas, I also support clients who are navigating minimalism or hoarding concerns, financial and budgeting stress, sports-related mental health challenges, academic pressures, body image and self-esteem, boundary setting and relationship challenges.

Sage Ariel Seguin
Registered Psychotherapist, QRP, MACP
My clients are often in their 20s–40s who feel stuck in people-pleasing, perfectionism, or unhealthy relationship patterns. They may overextend themselves at work, with family, or in relationships, leaving little space for their own needs. Many also navigate ADHD, feeling overwhelmed or scattered, and want support reconnecting with themselves and creating balance.
In our work together, I offer a warm, collaborative space where you can show up as you are without having to perform or please. We'll move at your pace, gently exploring the patterns that have shaped your relationships — including people-pleasing, boundary challenges, and attachment wounds.
I integrate a variety of approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) to support you in building self-trust, emotional balance, and relationships that feel more honest. Whenever you're ready, I'd love to hear what's bringing you in.
"With self-compassion, we give ourselves the same kindness and care we'd give to a friend." — Kristin Neff

Maddie (Matin) Motamed
Registered Psychotherapist, Master's in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy
Seeking support is an act of strength. If you are experiencing anxiety disorders, mood disorders, depression, ADHD, trauma, PTSD, borderline personality disorder, or are recovering from narcissistic abuse, you do not have to face it alone. Therapy offers a space to slow down, understand emotional and relational patterns, and heal unresolved wounds through approaches such as inner child work and reparenting.
I specialize in working with survivors of narcissistic abuse and high-conflict, emotionally abusive relationships. I support men, women, and LGBTQ+ individuals, as well as individuals who have been in narcissistic relationships, to engage in rebuilding self-trust, restoring boundaries, and recovering from chronic invalidation, gaslighting, and emotional manipulation. My work also focuses on trauma, personality dynamics, anxiety, mood disorders, and attachment wounds.
My therapeutic approach integrates CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, Relational Therapy, ACT, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused approaches, offering a supportive space for those who often feel misunderstood or overlooked.
I also provide free virtual psychotherapy for refugees, asylum seekers, and protected persons covered under IFHP. Services are trauma-informed and culturally sensitive, supporting individuals impacted by war, displacement, adjustment disorders, anxiety, depression, and resettlement stress. Psychotherapy is available in English and Farsi.
Your diagnosis or past experiences do not define you. Healing and growth are possible, and your story matters.

Thunder Bay is a northwestern Ontario city that functions as the primary urban centre and service hub for a vast region of the Canadian Shield, and it has one of the highest urban Indigenous populations of any Canadian city—both permanent residents and individuals who travel hundreds of miles from remote reserves to access healthcare, education, and services. The city has faced significant challenges with Indigenous youth mental health and suicide, violence, and the mental health impacts of colonization and intergenerational trauma from residential schools, and these concerns are central to the local mental health landscape. Lakehead University's Indigenous studies programs contribute to a growing body of decolonized mental health approaches, and regional services work to address significant unmet need. Common therapy concerns include Indigenous trauma and intergenerational residential school effects, geographic isolation, substance use, depression, and the complex grief of a community navigating both the legacy of colonial harm and ongoing racism and marginalization.
