Yasmin Rombola-Bacchus
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, Registered Psychotherapist, Dipl. Psych.
I see therapy as a sacred space that offers clients the opportunity to pause from the constant distractions life presents to engage and reflect on our inner and outer worlds. While this process may at times feel challenging or even painful, it can also lead to peaceful and celebratory reflections. I am committed to ensuring that clients feel seen, heard, and respected, and that our conversations lead to unique transformations achieved through empowerment.

Adrienne Sharma-Richardson PhD MEd RP OCT
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Gestalt Psychotherapist Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Gottman Trained Couples Therapist
As a gestalt psychotherapist, who pairs gestalt training with somatic experiencing I can help support you in healing from your trauma.
No one in the Niagara Region utilizes the combination of these therapies and applies them to working with couples in crisis. Gottman (couples) and Post Induction Therapy training (relational/developmental trauma)
I am sorry to say but popular approaches to healing trauma like CBT will provide only temporary relief at best.
If you want to get to the root of your trauma and heal somatic experiencing (SE) is what you need and when supported with the power of relational gestalt therapy you will shift your shit!
SE focuses on regulating your nervous system.
With SE work trauma responses are completed and energy is released back into the system and with this the resolution and disappearance of physical complaints, including headaches, digestive problems, and pain syndromes can be resolved, and emotional regulation can be restored.
I will teach you how to work with your stress response - the body's innate alarm system in response to a perceived danger, also called the "Fight or Flight" response.
It is highly adaptive to danger and human survival when threats are physical, but less so when threats are psychological, or imaginary, among other somatic and relational skills.
I have been trained under Dr Abi Blakeslee part of Dr Peter A Levine's legacy group out of California for Somatic Experiencing and the late great Dr Bud Feder the author of Beyond the Hot Seat was on my dissertation committee overseeing a phenomenological study of the effectiveness of a gestalt therapy group I created to reduce stress in working informal caregivers of the elderly. I named the group process Stressed WOW (We Overloaded with Work).
Gestalt therapy is an extremely complex psychotherapy, too complex to describe in this short space.
The power of its effectiveness can only be experienced.
Most present day therapies have stolen bits and pieces of its praxis.
Get the whole again with a holistic, here and now, experiential therapy.
I am here for you... I've got your six!

Jessie Erb
Registered Psychotherapist, DPsychotherapy
I work from a Relational Psychodynamic and Integrative framework, making sure that we find a therapeutic framework that fits you and your unique needs.
When you see me you won't be seeing an overly clinical or 'removed' therapist, but rather a real person who meets you just as you are. I am warm, empathic, and non-judgmental - providing an environment that is safe so that you can explore all concerns and distress that have brought you to therapy.
I believe that anyone, regardless of class, sexuality, gender, race/ethinicity is valuable and deserves the best care I can give them. I would be honoured to work with you! Check out my website centredself.ca for more info.
I am taking new clients and have a great team of psychotherapists who are also here to help, including our new reduced cost therapy program. Message today for a free 20-min consultation for us to find a fit that suits you!

Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Qualifying), MSc, MA
I know how scary it can be to face our struggles and open up to a new person—I’ve been in therapy myself for many years. It’s not easy work! That's why I’m focused on building trust and staying curious about who you are and how you’re experiencing the process. My hope is that you leave sessions feeling cared for, understood, accepted, and connected with. Clients find that this experience builds self-understanding, a sense of worth, and a growing agency they carry into the rest of their lives.
I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who practices psychodynamic, relational therapy. This approach understands our struggles as stemming from difficulties in relationships, past and present. Maybe you haven’t received the kinds of connections, supports, and understanding you’ve needed and it’s impacted how you relate to yourself and others. Perhaps bad experiences have made it hard to navigate daily life or build new dynamics. You might be navigating loss, abandonment, harm, guilt, or conflict and need support with this. We’re nearly all impacted by cultures of disconnection, over-work, domination, and hyper-individualism. Relational therapy can be a space to notice all of this and experience something new—a more connected and fulfilling inner and outer life.
I’m dedicated to practicing from a client-led and trauma-informed perspective that understands the deeply traumatic impacts of white supremacy, colonialism, cishetero-patriarchy, ableism, and other oppressions. I will hold curiosity for how systems, culture, and identity impact your life, relationships, and our work together.
But in all of this, we only go as deep and as wide as you want to—I make sure we’re following your pace and attending to what feels most urgent. I won't tell you what healing looks like for you, but I'll be excited to figure that out together.

Azin Heydari
Registered Psychotherapist, RP; MA
I work alongside you on this self-exploratory journey, not only showing curiosity about the thoughts that shape your emotional world but also the nervous system patterns held in your body. Real change occurs when the mind and body begin communicating differently, and I will collaborate with you to explore this process with care, curiosity, and evidence-based tools. My approach is warm, relational, and grounded in trauma-informed methods that create space for deep emotional work at a pace that feels safe. If you’re ready to understand your patterns, reconnect with yourself, and find lasting relief—not quick fixes—I am here to support your healing through this process.

Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
My journey into this field is deeply personal. Having lived with anxiety, navigated grief, and taken on caregiving responsibilities early in life, I became committed to understanding mental health not only intellectually but in ways that could support genuine coping and healing.
I understand what it can feel like to be stuck, lost, or caught in what seems like an endless loop of discouragement and emotional fatigue. These experiences have shaped the empathy and perspective I bring to my work.
Through my work with individuals from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds, I have come to believe that human resilience is universal. Even in the most difficult circumstances, people find ways to endure and move forward. As a therapist, my goal is to support you in rediscovering your inner strength—helping you find clarity, reconnect with yourself, and rebuild a sense of hope and trust in your path forward.

Manisha Grewal
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (Hons), MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Do you tend to replay past events in your mind over and over, and spiral into worries about the future? Do you struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, or relationships, causing you to "overgive" to others while abandoning your own needs? Many people describe feeling like they’re moving through life on autopilot — weighed down by overthinking, low mood, or the pressure to keep everyone else happy. You might notice people-pleasing tendencies, difficulty maintaining boundaries, or a pattern of overgiving that leaves you drained, ungrounded, and disconnected from yourself. Here, you’ll find a warm, calm space where your feelings are validated and your voice genuinely matters. Together, we’ll engage in meaningful, deep processing work, explore what's fuelling your distress, and gently uncover the deeper experiences and patterns shaping your emotional world. Alongside this, we’ll build practical tools to regulate your nervous system and ease your symptoms in the present, helping you reconnect with a more empowered, resilient, and self-aware version of yourself. I bring the richness of three cultures, four languages, and the lived experience of being both a first- and third-generation immigrant. My background in the medical field also allows me to integrate physiological and psychological insight. These parts of who I am allow me to deeply empathize with the immigrant journey across generations, as well as the ways culture, family expectations, and identity can shape mental health. No matter your background or story, I aim to meet you with genuine understanding, respect, and compassion. I am a proud ally to LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC communities and offer inclusive, compassionate care for all backgrounds and lived experiences. If what I’ve shared resonates, we may be a good fit. If you're curious about working together, let's start with a free, no-pressure 30-min video consultation, where we can connect and chat in a calm, relaxed space.

David Rockman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW RSW BA psych hon
In uncertain times, it is common to feel overwhelmed by difficulties and feel stuck in a cycle of challenges in the 6 general arenas of human experience: habituated repertoire of thoughts, emotions, soma, behaviours, situations, and environment. Many of the problems we experience are not our fault, but they can still have a significant impact on our mental health and well-being. As a psychotherapist with 27 years of experience in Toronto, I have helped countless individuals effectively and quickly resolve a variety of issues, including self-other relationship stressors, trauma from sexual abuse, emotional regulation, feelings of betrayal and abandonment, social anxiety, self-blame, self-esteem issues, motivation problems, and mis-transits of anger, shame and grief.

New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
We are a team of Registered Psychotherapists and Social Workers who specialize in supporting individuals through effective and research backed trauma, relationship, and sex therapy.
We began as a trauma focused clinic - our team has a solid understanding of the countless small and large ways that trauma impacts us. We work with traumatic stress and related difficulties such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD and complexPTSD), addiction, self-harm, and suicide ideation. We support survivors of sexual violence as well as those who have experienced emotional and physical abuse, criminal victimization, bullying, war, and near death experiences.
We've found that as people heal, relationships and intimacy naturally becomes a secondary focus. For this reason we offer family, couples, and sex therapy. We support individuals of all gender and sexual identities and relationship structures.
We respect diversity and differences in opinions, values and attitudes. This is reflected through individualized treatment plans which consider each individuals lived and generational experiences. We strive to provide culturally-sensitive, non-discriminatory, and affirming care to culturally diverse populations and BIPOC, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, kink and polyamorous communities.
Our goal is to help you break free from your past and rediscover a fulfilling life filled with joy and connection.

Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, and its therapy landscape reflects this extraordinary diversity, with practitioners representing hundreds of cultural backgrounds and dozens of languages. The city's high cost of living and intensely competitive professional environment drive demand for therapists addressing financial anxiety, burnout, and the psychological pressures of ambitious urban life. CAMH — the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health — is Canada's largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital, providing major institutional resources alongside Toronto's vast private practice and counselling community. Ontario's OHIP coverage is limited for psychotherapy, so many residents use extended health benefits or pay out of pocket to access private therapy.
