Shane Smyth
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, OACCPP
I specialise in couples therapy. I love helping couples improve their relationship by increasing their ability to communicate openly and lovingly. I am trained in Gottman Couples Therapy to Level 3 and am a Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist. I have also completed several sex therapy intensive trainings. I have over 15 years helping couples. Sexuality and desire discrepancies are something that I enjoy working it as this often becomes a shut down topic for couples. I try to make therapy as accessible and easy going as possible. I believe that everyone has the right to have a rich and meaningful life and through therapy I hope to provide clients with the space and skills to access their own inner resources as well as build meaningful relationships.

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.

Stacey Molengraaf
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, Diploma, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
(Currently Accepting New Clients) Hello and welcome! I'd like to start by acknowledging that starting with a new therapist can be super awkward, vulnerable, and challenging. It's a big risk to step out and say, "I'm struggling" or "I want something different for myself." My hope is to offer a safe space for you to show up as you are and sit with you in the complexity of life. One metaphor I love to use when talking about the therapy process is that we often come to therapy with a knotted-up bundle of yarn. Maybe this ball of yarn is formed from one type of yarn; maybe it's a mishmash of many colours, sizes and textures. However complex and knotted the yarn, I am here to sit with you as you notice, untangle, and wind up the ball. What I mean by this is I am here to help you make sense of yourself, listen to your story, and offer my support along the way so you can move towards your goals. If what I've shared resonates with you, please feel free to reach out to book a 20 to 30-minute free consultation. During this time, we will talk a bit about what brings you in and a bit about my approach and decide if we are a good match for the therapy journey. My schedule and emails from this website are managed through Spacious Mind Counselling.

Maor Bernshtein, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
Reaching out is hard. Not because we don't know we need help (we usually do). It's that voice that tells us "it'll pass", or "you're just weak," or "it's all in your head." Meanwhile, the shame, the anxiety, or the feeling of emptiness keep winning. I work with people who are done white-knuckling it and ready to understand what's actually going on underneath so they can heal, not just manage. I specialize in trauma, BPD, addiction, and depression. Using IFS-informed parts work, somatic, and relational approaches, my approach is about avoiding band-aid solutions so that you can find real change.
