Client Care, Atrium
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
When someone is struggling, I try to understand the full story of their experiences rather than focusing only on symptoms or labels. I’m often curious about how early experiences, family dynamics, and past relationships may have shaped the way someone sees themselves, others, and the world around them. Unresolved childhood experiences can play a powerful role in how we interpret situations and respond emotionally, so part of our work may involve gently exploring those patterns and understanding how they continue to influence the present.

Lauren Fiamelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, RSW
When working with a client I try to tailor my approach to counselling based on your specific needs, personality, and story. I believe that therapy should be a space where you can say what you don’t feel you can say anywhere else. I operate in an anti-oppressive framework, in recognition of marginalized communities’ and individual’s unique challenges. I feel that laughter can be a strong medicine. My hope is to be a place where you can be yourself and not filter yourself. I hope to cover as many chapters as you would like to share, so we can figure out what the next chapters of your life can be about.

James "Jamie" Myslik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Hi! I've been a practicing counsellor for eighteen years working with folks from all walks of life with all the challenges that life throws at them, such as work stress, life transitions, relationship stress, bereavement and loss, ageing, histories of trauma, concerns around sex and sexuality, and much more. Oftentimes those issues show up through anxiety, depression, shame, anger, social anxiety, or just feeling overwhelmed. I like to help folks connect to their emotions, deal with their stresses, and generally build the life they're looking for. In feedback from my clients I'm told I'm compassionate, non-judgemental, easy to open up to, and offer a good balance of working with the head and the heart. I also bring a lot of humour to sessions.
While I'm a generalist practitioner, I often work with 2SLGBTQIA+ folks (and am queer myself), men, and people looking to explore their emotional selves.
I currently offer individual therapy for adults online, and can offer walk-and-talk and nature therapy if our locations allow.

Arzu Ferguson
Psychologist, M.Sc., RP, C. Psych.
Many people who seek therapy are not “broken,” but exhausted from carrying too much on their own for too long. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, mentally drained, or stuck despite functioning well in their daily lives.
I have a particular interest in working with individuals with ADHD or autism—whether diagnosed or exploring that possibility—who often feel misunderstood or pressured to function in ways that don’t fully fit.
In therapy, my goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely understood, supported, and not judged. Together, we work to slow things down, make sense of your thoughts and emotions, and develop practical, effective strategies that help you feel more in control and aligned with how you naturally function.
