Bhavna Verma
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, CC-S, DCP, MSc
At Lumos Counselling, we believe that the counselling process is a collaborative approach where the patient determines where they are going and the therapist provides the directions. Our philosophy to counselling is to empower patients so that they are able to work through stressors with tools and strategies learned during sessions.

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.

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 in my 30's / I'm a millennial
- Diagnosed with ADHD later in life.
- I love to laugh but can sit in silence.
- Lover of cats, nature, and reality tv.
-Always on the hunt for a good chip truck.

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.

Jessica Batres - Raices Flourish
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Feeling stretched too thin? You're not alone.
If you're dealing with anxiety, burnout, or the exhausting cycle of perfectionism and people-pleasing, I get it. Life transitions—whether it's becoming a parent, navigating career shifts, or simply trying to figure out who you are outside of everyone's expectations—can leave you feeling depleted and disconnected.
Maybe you've checked all the boxes but still feel empty. Or you're so busy managing everyone else's emotions that you've lost track of your own. Anxiety shows up as overthinking, second-guessing, never feeling like you've done enough. Depression makes everything feel harder than it should be. And burnout? It's that deep exhaustion that rest doesn't fix.
Therapy doesn't have to be one more thing on your to-do list. It's a space where you can actually breathe, sort through what's happening, and build a life that feels like yours—not just one you're surviving. Whether you're wrestling with parenting challenges, trying to break free from old patterns, or simply need someone who sees the weight you're carrying—I'm here.
You don't have to keep doing this alone.

Madeleine Krupl
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I don’t see people as problems to fix, but as humans with stories to be held, pain to be witnessed, and strengths to be illuminated. My role is a steady, compassionate presence—curious, culturally humble, and practical—so you can feel safer, think more clearly, and make changes that last. Together we’ll move at your pace, building skills and resilience while we heal what hurts.

I work with teens and adults who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, low mood, shame, people-pleasing, or addictive patterns and are tired of doing it alone. In a warm, non-judgmental space—online across Ontario and in-person in Pickering—I’ll help you slow down, understand what’s really going on underneath the symptoms, and build practical tools so you can feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your life.

Robert Stanford
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Qualifying
If you’re feeling stuck in patterns that keep repeating, anxiety, conflict, disconnection, shame, or trauma reactions that won’t let go, you’re not alone. I work with individuals, couples, and families who want life to feel steadier, relationships to feel safer, and emotions to feel more manageable. My style is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed, with a strong focus on helping you feel heard, respected, and supported while we build practical steps toward change.
