Maddie (Matin) Motamed
Registered Psychotherapist, Master's in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy
Asking for help is a sign of strength. If you are looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, BPD, PTSD or have been a victim of narcissistic abuse, it takes courage to ask for help. Admitting you can’t do everything alone is the first step toward achieving wellness in a fast-paced, demanding world. Therapy can enable you to delve deeper through inner child work and reparenting yourself to heal your trauma wounds and move forward. Asking for help and obtaining a fresh perspective of your past is the first and most profound step toward developing the mental muscle needed to attain emotional and mental strength.
As an experienced psychotherapist, I aim to help you navigate your emotions and move toward a healthy and fulfilling life. I specialize in working with women's issues and use modalities like Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Relational Psychotherapy, Mindfulness Practices, ACT, and Solution-Focused therapy.
I believe in forming an authentic therapeutic relationship with respect to the client’s cultural background. One can face difficult emotions with a suitable therapeutic approach that tailors individual emotional needs. Therapy is a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can unpack their deepest feelings, learn to process emotions, and gain clarity.

Kalyna Scherbluk
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Qualifying
Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or unsure of who you are anymore? Maybe you're navigating anxiety, depression, low self-worth, or relationship challenges. You might feel lost in transition—grappling with a recent change, a difficult past, or trying to break free from behaviours that leave you feeling disconnected. These emotions can be heavy and confusing, and it’s okay if you’re not sure where to start. I’m here to help you make sense of what you're feeling and why. Therapy with me offers a compassionate, person-centred space where your story is honoured and explored with curiosity, not judgment. With training in Emotion-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based, CBT, DBT, and Narrative Therapy, I offer an integrative, trauma-informed approach tailored to your needs. Together, we’ll explore the roots of your struggles, increase self-understanding, and work toward the emotional clarity and change you're seeking. You don’t have to carry these feelings alone. Whether you're navigating life transitions, feeling anxious or emotionally stuck, or looking to strengthen your sense of self and relationships, we can explore this together. Reach out to discuss how I can support you.

EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Are you grappling with the question, "How do I overcome this?" A common hurdle individuals often articulate when discussing emotional distress is feeling immobilized. If you're encountering difficulties progressing in your career, relationships, or rediscovering lost joy in life, you might be grappling with unresolved trauma or unaddressed attachment needs. These challenges can manifest physically, such as chronic pain, headaches, or fatigue. We take the time to empathize with your unique journey that has led you here.
You might be navigating through anxiety, depression, or intense emotions like fear or anger. Ultimately, you might feel disconnected and wrestle with existential questions about your beliefs or purpose. Our aim is to offer the support you need to move forward. We endeavour to guide individuals towards a deeper understanding of themselves and how to authentically engage with the world around them.
Recognizing that addressing trauma requires vulnerability and emotional investment, we prioritize cultivating a safe, non-judgmental space for our clients. Our approach to trauma therapy is integrative, aiming for holistic healing. We follow a three-step process: 1) Building a comprehensive understanding of your experiences; 2) Crafting a personalized treatment plan; and 3) Assisting you in finding inner peace and resolution.
