Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
Kaylen Leonienco
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
I have always been passionate about working in the field of social work/psychotherapy. I aim to provide spaces where individuals can speak openly about life's challenges and be met with nothing but support and zero judgement. It has been rewarding to witness client's move through challenges and live the lives they have always dreamed of. Client's are also equipped with lifelong skills and coping strategies to be used when new challenges arise beyond our time working together.

Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
Kate Paul
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Past hurts can echo in 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. I help individuals and couples heal the impact of trauma, regulate overwhelming emotions, and rebuild safety and connection in daily life. Together, we’ll slow things down, create a clear plan, and use evidence-based tools to shift unhelpful patterns.
My approach is warm, integrative, and collaborative—we’ll work at a pace that feels manageable, so you can restore trust in yourself and in your relationships.
If you're ready to take the first step toward healing, I invite you to schedule a free consultation today.

Michael Greene
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychologist College of Psychotherapists of Ontario
Being a therapist for 35 years has been a great privilege. It enables me to see the great depth, wisdom and inherent goodness of people. My connection with the people I work with and the help that I have given them has given my life meaning. I began this work because therapy dramatically changed my life. I learned that we are all capable of making our lives better when we take a fearless look inside ourselves.

Paul, Carvalho
Registered Psychotherapist
I help individuals reconnect with their whole selves (thoughts, feelings, body, and values) to live with greater clarity, peace, and emotional integrity. You might arrive feeling stuck in your head, disconnected from your inner world, or overwhelmed by the pressures of relationships, work, or self-expectation. Together, we will create a grounded and compassionate space where you can learn to understand your emotions, soften inner conflict, and move toward a life that feels aligned and authentic. I work from an integrative, trauma-informed lens with a deep respect for who you are and who you are becoming. Contact me for a free 15-minute conversation to see if we are a good fit.

Sunlight Counselling, Melody Mann
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I’m a registered social worker and psychotherapist who helps people navigate life’s hardest seasons — burnout, trauma, grief, and chronic illness. My approach is grounded in compassion and curiosity, creating a space where you can exhale, be seen, and begin to heal at your own pace.
I draw from EMDR, parts work, and mindfulness-based approaches to support the body and mind’s natural capacity to heal. Together, we’ll explore not only what hurts, but also what helps — uncovering new ways of relating to yourself, others, and the world around you.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply exhausted by doing it all, therapy can be a place to slow down, reconnect with your strength, and move toward a life that feels more aligned and sustainable.

Cynthia Sewell, Embrace Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CH CHyp
Addiction and Mental Health struggles can be so isolating. Our minds tell us we are the only ones who feel this way, no one else could possibly understand. But the truth is you are not alone. Connection is how we break through the shame. Saying it out loud takes away the power of the illness to keep you sick. Let's talk about how to disrupt the pattern and to support you to living your best life.

Laura Jean Northey
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA
I provide individual therapy, both in-person and online, to clients who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relational issues, and burnout. I have been told by clients that my calm demeanour and caring, non-judgmental stance helps them to feel safe and comfortable to express themselves. Therapy with me is client-led, meaning you decide what we talk about, but I'm here to help you make sense of it and understand how lifelong patterns and unconscious beliefs might be influencing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.

Laird Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, MACP, RP
We all go through periods where life feels overwhelming, and it can take a toll on both our mental and physical well-being. It's easy to get caught in a cycle of constant stress, leaving little time to focus on ourselves. Sometimes, the ways we try to cope with these pressures can unintentionally create further difficulties. If you've ever felt like your efforts to improve things are actually making them worse, it might be a sign that you're ready for a different approach.
If you feel like you could benefit from having someone to talk to, Laird Counselling Services is here to help. We offer support in various areas, including sleep issues, stress management, persistent worrying, achieving a healthy work-life balance, addressing concerns around food and body image, and navigating alcohol or drug misuse. Our primary goal is to empower individuals to lead fulfilling lives. We operate under the belief that each person holds the key to their own solutions, and our role is to guide you in discovering those answers within yourself. We encourage you to connect with us to explore how we can support you.
