Veronica Lowe
Registered Psychotherapist, MC, RP, CCC
My goal is to help a person move toward wellness, one compassionate step at a time.
Finding balance in the face of anxiety, grief, or ADHD can feel overwhelming. My approach is rooted in the belief that therapy should be a collaborative, client-centered partnership. With years of experience—including a deep background at Western University’s Psychological Services—I blend evidence-based techniques like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with the restorative power of mindfulness and self-compassion.
Whether you’re visiting me in Whitby or connecting online, my goal is to provide you with a practical toolkit to manage panic and loss while building a life that feels authentic to you.

Kristen See
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
My therapeutic style is neuro-affirming, relational, and eclectic. You can expect friendly banter, a collaborative process, the option to actually get to know your therapist (I'm not here to be a stranger to you), and an approach that shifts with your needs and goals rather than a textbook treatment plan. In short, some sessions may be rooted in skill work, others may require more trauma-informed care. I offer therapy that meets you where you're at.
I also understand that neurodivergent clients are neurodivergent 100% of the time - my goal is to provide a service that accommodates and accepts the ADHD / AuDHD experience.
Fun facts about me: I'm a millennial in my 30's, diagnosed with ADHD later in life, lover of cats, nature, and reality tv.

Krishna Vora
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Many people who reach out for therapy are used to carrying a lot on their own. They may appear capable on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted internally.
My practice focuses on helping adults understand their emotional patterns, reduce overwhelm, and develop practical strategies that actually work in everyday life. I take a neurodiversity-affirming approach that recognizes differences in how people think, process emotions, and navigate the world.
Clients often seek support for ADHD, anxiety, burnout, trauma, perfectionism, and self-esteem challenges. Therapy is collaborative and grounded in curiosity rather than judgment. Together we work toward building clarity, resilience, and sustainable ways of coping.

Paighe Rojas
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
If you’re looking for a therapist who is both compassionate and direct, you’re in the right place. I support clients who look “fine” on the outside but feel emotionally exhausted, anxious, disconnected, or like they’re constantly carrying too much. In our work together, you can expect a steady space that helps you feel understood, build coping skills that actually work, and create lasting change—not just temporary relief. If you’re ready to feel more grounded and confident in yourself, reach out and we’ll take the next step together.

Kayla Rivera
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
I believe meaningful change begins when you feel truly seen and safe enough to be honest. Many of the people I work with are high achievers and caregivers who have spent a long time holding it together, even while feeling anxious, disconnected, or drained. They’re often tired of people pleasing, overthinking, or repeating relationship patterns that leave them feeling unseen.
Before I became a therapist, I was a classically trained pianist. Music taught me how to listen closely, notice what’s unspoken, and sit with emotion without rushing it away. That early foundation shaped the way I work now: with patience, attunement, and deep respect for your story.
In therapy, we’ll gently unpack what’s keeping you stuck, build emotion regulation and self trust, and help you move toward balance, clarity, and more secure connections. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Britney Victor
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Your days look successful to others, yet anxiety races beneath the surface. You lie awake replaying conversations, feel your chest tighten in meetings, and wonder why simple tasks drain all your energy. You may catch yourself scrolling, overeating, or snapping at people you love, then feel guilty. Deep down you want calm, confidence, and relationships that don’t exhaust you. You’re ready to understand where these stress loops come from and finally learn skills to break them so you can show up at work, at home, and for yourself with steady ease.
I blend evidence-based tools—CBT, DBT, mindfulness—with a warm, anti-oppressive lens. Together we map the patterns driving your stress, teach body-based calming skills, challenge rigid thoughts, and practise boundary-setting. Every session ends with a concrete exercise so progress feels immediate and measurable.
Therapy is a big step, and fit matters. Visit my website and book a free 15-minute consult, or tap the email button, and I’ll get back to you. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us via phone or email. If I’m not the best fit, I’ll connect you to someone who is. Relief starts with one step; take it today.
