Audrey Palmer-Genesis Clinical Services
Registered Psychotherapist, CYW,MTS,RP
I'm a therapist in Toronto and I believe that each individual is the expert in themselves, and as such, they enter into a relationship with the therapist to move forward toward wholeness. I also believe that most of what we experience is temporary as we look at the extent of our lives. I caution individuals not to make permanent decisions based on a temporary situation. Therapy is the process of understanding what has derailed the individual and actively move them back to a place of equilibrium.
After 25 years of practice, I bring knowledge, insight and numerous skills to my work with clients. Whether I'm treating trauma, or helping clients apply the insights offered by Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, or utilizing the concepts of resilience to their experience, I am a fairly creative and utilize the client's creativity to help move them forward. By asking questions, offering perspectives, and suggesting ways to engage in the process beyond the confines of the session itself. My central role is to establish a caring and therapeutic relationship with each and every client. Contact me for a fifteen min. phone session.

Gwen Shandroski, Expressive Arts Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc, S-LP(C), R.P.
I help my clients/patients feel comfortable to begin therapy. I have gone through this process as a client and as a therapist many times. Feeling understood and having someone help you take a look at what is going on can be very refreshing and provide some hope. My background in speech-language pathology has prepared me to work with clients who have difficulty expressing themselves. Expressive arts therapy is an alternative way to reach feelings and represent the experience you're having.

Tina Bohin
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Oftentimes, feelings of hopelessness and helplessness can emerge in our lives and make us feel stuck. In addition, experiences with trauma can make us feel like we are not deserving of support. You deserve mental health support that seeks to understand your unique experiences, needs and goals. Depression, anxiety and experiences with trauma can be debilitating mental health concerns that impact our well-being, relationships and daily living. These moments can be tough to navigate without someone to trust and confide in for support. I also have an abundance of experience in the realm of sexuality and education including: self-confidence, navigating relationships, arousal, kink, exploring sexuality, sexual orientation, gender identity and sexual health.
The first step of seeking help can feel intimidating and overwhelming. I would love to make the process as comfortable as possible for you. I strive to offer a safe and non-judgemental space where we can collaboratively and compassionately work through your challenges. Kindly feel free to reach out with a questions about my qualifications! Let’s work together to explore and address your unique experiences and needs. Please give our office a call to book your first session. I am looking forward to meeting you!

Ashley Ferraccioli
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying)/Intern Therapist
Life can be unpredictable and can present challenging experiences that are hard to navigate on our own. During these times, we can feel overwhelmed, especially if we experience high levels of stress or anxiety, struggle in managing emotions, or have experienced traumatic events in our life. Sometimes, we get so caught up in our negative thoughts that it can be hard to overtake them, and it may even feel impossible to stop them. They may even start interfering with your everyday life and you may lose sight of who you are.
I am passionate about helping people overcome challenges in their life, no matter what stage. I aim to support you by creating a calm and safe space where you can freely express yourself. Working collaboratively, I am committed to helping you explore and work through the challenges in your life.
I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if we are a good fit. Please feel free to reach out – I am here to help! I look forward to beginning this journey with you.

Jacalyn Caswell
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A.C.P., B.A., R.P. (Qualifying)
Accepting new clients. I work with adults and youth who experience depression, anxiety, work-related stress, self-esteem concerns, relationship conflict, grief and loss. Knowing how challenging life can be, it is important that we have a safe community and people to assist us when sometimes we cannot manage our experiences alone. Thus together within therapy, we will work as a team to explore present patterns and behaviours that result in feelings we wish to change and build a strong and compassionate belief of self, exploring new strategies and techniques along the way.
I approach every client individually with an empathetic and trauma-informed approach. I understand the importance of the mind-to-body connection when we experience stress. My goal is to treat this stress and improve overall wellness through Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy.
Currently, as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I welcome you to counselling and the ability to share your story. It's amazing what we can do when given a little knowledge and some help. Please feel free to send me a message to book a 15 minute consultation as it is the best form of contact. I look forward to meeting you soon. Take care.
