Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Therapy works best when you feel genuinely safe, understood, and able to speak openly. Many of my clients share that one of the most meaningful parts of our work together is not only the practical tools and strategies they gain, but also the sense of connection, honesty, and relief that comes from having a space where they can be real and experience real change.
My background includes social work, music therapy, palliative care, oncology, acute mental health, and service in the Canadian Armed Forces. I also bring lived experience with grief, trauma, chronic pain, and adversity, which deeply informs my compassionate and realistic approach.
I work with individuals who are often used to “holding it together” on the outside while internally feeling overwhelmed, burned out, disconnected, or stuck in painful patterns.
Together, we’ll figure out what actually works for you — not just generic advice. I take the time to understand your strengths, your struggles, and the deeper patterns that may be keeping you stuck so we can approach challenges in a way that feels realistic and meaningful.
We can do more than just manage symptoms or get through the day. My goal is to help you build a life that feels worthwhile.

Ashley Bargent Coaching & Counselling
Registered Social Worker, Associate Certified Coach, ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider MSW, RSW, ACC, ADHD-CCSP
Work is draining the joy from your life. Your confidence is dropping and you’re not sure about this career anymore. Every workday, it’s harder to get out of bed. You’ve considered changing jobs but are scared you’re the problem. The idea of change feels overwhelming because you overthink and don’t know where to start. You long for a job where your strengths will shine and you can live up to your potential. But you aren’t sure if you’ll ever find a place where you belong, especially if you’re grappling with ADHD.

Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Sometimes life can leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. You may be navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, ADHD, disordered eating, family stress, or the impact of difficult or unsafe relationships. Whatever brings you to therapy, you do not have to figure it out alone.
I work with youth, adults, and couples to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences, build on your strengths, and move toward healing and growth. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that therapy should be tailored to the person in front of me.
Together, we can explore patterns, develop practical tools, strengthen emotional regulation, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that feels manageable. Taking the first step can feel intimidating, but reaching out for support is a sign of strength.

Nicole Moss
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), C.S.P.S.S
Life can feel overwhelming when you’re carrying the weight of trauma, struggling with codependent patterns, or trying to heal from control or abuse on your own. My goal is to support survivors of various forms of trauma. I genuinely feel that everyone holds their own map to healing, however, many often need help navigating their path forward. Whether you’re working on trauma recovery, healing from abuse, or dealing with other factors such as addiction, supporting a loved one, or working through the stages of grief, you don’t have to go through it alone. I am grateful to be that source of support for current and new clients.
I help people create, enforce, and maintain boundaries that may have once felt impossible to implement, giving them space to feel safer, more empowered, and more connected to themselves and others. I work from an eclectic approach, believing there is no one-size-fits-all path to therapy. Together we can help you break free from limiting patterns and beliefs.

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.

Wise Path Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Joshua Ribalkin, MA, MA, RP
I believe it's important that that therapy offers a safe and supportive space - a place where people can explore new ways of thinking and dealing with challenges they encounter. It's also an opportunity to to reflect on how we see the world and begin to toward more balanced effective ways of living. When someone is open to it, therapy can also be place for learning to live more presently, with greater awareness and clarity.

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!

Jamie Inderjeit
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, hBS
I offer low-cost therapy services for anyone in need of a space to feel respected and heard. Rather than instructing you on what to do, my preference is to learn about your upbringing and all that you've experienced, so that I can better understand the source of your feelings. I've found that once clients can recognize the 'why' behind their emotions, reestablishing control over their lives becomes achievable. From start to finish, you'll be completely supported throughout your therapeutic journey.
I specialize in anger management, addiction (online gambling), burnout, men's issues, and ADHD management. Of course, you're welcome to bring anything into our sessions. Whatever the topic of our work together, it'll always be conducted in a zero judgement space.
You deserve to be supported and cared for. Those challenges you've been facing can be overcome with the help of a professional. If you're in need of a safe space where you can openly explore your feelings and find a way forward, feel free to reach out so we can get our first session together started.

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.

Kate Paul
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Hi, I’m Kate. I help individuals and couples navigate trauma, relational pain, and emotional overwhelm. Together, we’ll explore the roots of your challenges, to help you feel more grounded and empowered.
Past hurts can echo into the present: quick triggers, shutdowns, or the same fight on repeat. Trauma, whether from earlier life experiences or broken trust in relationships, can leave you feeling unsafe in your body and disconnected from the people who matter most.
My approach is compassionate, and collaborative. We will work at a pace that feels manageable, so you can restore trust in yourself and in your relationships.

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.

Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
I know firsthand what it is like to live, move, and survive in a world that was simply not built with our bodies or identities in mind. As a blind therapist with low vision, my practice is informed by a heightened sensory and energetic attunement to movement, vocal expression, and the felt sense of what passes between us online. As a trans, queer, genderflux femme (she/they), I am deeply committed to providing accessible, non-gatekeeping care that actively welcomes your gender euphoria alongside your systemic exhaustion.
In this online therapy space, the burden of translation is completely removed from your shoulders. You do not have to spend our time explaining or justifying the daily impacts of ableism, transphobia, or marginalization; you are met exactly where you are with an immediate, shared resonance. We will work at a pace that respects your boundaries, allowing you to safely unpack your burdens and build a deeper, kinder relationship with your own body. For local clients in the Vancouver area, we can also explore moving our therapy outdoors for walk-and-talk sessions once we have firmly established our therapeutic foundation and connection.

Dennis Keefe
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A.
I have always been a big advocate of jumping into action and finding ways to address problems through concrete, focused strategies. I also honour the important need to foster compassion, validation and understanding as a foundation with you before this occurs. I specialize in helping adults navigate the emotional impact of chronic illness, chronic pain, disability, and significant changes in health or physical functioning. These experiences can affect your identity, relationships, independence, confidence, and hope for the future. I also address a broad array of other mental health issues: Anxiety, depression, ADHD and others.

Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Finding your way back to a sense of balance, clarity, and inner steadiness is not always easy. Life can feel painful, confusing, or overwhelming at times, especially when you are carrying anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, grief, identity questions, or major life transitions.
In therapy, I see our work as collaborative. You are the expert on your own life and story, while I bring clinical training, curiosity, and experience to help us better understand what you are facing. My approach is person-centred, trauma-informed, and grounded in mindfulness. I integrate approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, CBT, MBCT, EMDR, CBT-I, and the Unified Protocol when appropriate.
I do not see mental health as the absence of painful thoughts or emotions. Difficult experiences are part of being human. What often matters is how we relate to those experiences and whether we can still move toward a life that feels meaningful, connected, and aligned with our values.
My hope is to offer a grounded, nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood as a whole person, not simply a collection of symptoms or problems. Together, we can work toward greater self-understanding, emotional steadiness, and meaningful change.

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.
