James "Jamie" Myslik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Hi! I've been a practicing counsellor for eighteen years working with folks from all walks of life with all the challenges that life throws at them, such as work stress, life transitions, relationship stress, bereavement and loss, ageing, histories of trauma, concerns around sex and sexuality, and much more. Oftentimes those issues show up through anxiety, depression, shame, anger, social anxiety, or just feeling overwhelmed. I like to help folks connect to their emotions, deal with their stresses, and generally build the life they're looking for. In feedback from my clients I'm told I'm compassionate, non-judgemental, easy to open up to, and offer a good balance of working with the head and the heart. I also bring a lot of humour to sessions.
While I'm a generalist practitioner, I often work with 2SLGBTQIA+ folks (and am queer myself), men, and people looking to explore their emotional selves.
I currently offer individual therapy for adults online, and can offer walk-and-talk and nature therapy if our locations allow.

Andrea Town
Occupational Therapist, MScOT, OT Reg. (Ont.), Psychotherapist
I am an Occupational Therapist and Psychotherapist with close to twenty years of experience in mental health, currently in my second year of the 5 Year Psychotherapy Training Program at the Gestalt Institute of Toronto. I offer a calm, non judgmental, and compassionate space for adults working through emotion regulation, trauma and PTSD, relationship concerns, role and identity shifts, and the ongoing work of making peace with the past. Drawing from Gestalt, CBT, DBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy, mindfulness, and self compassion, I help clients develop choice where it once seemed impossible. Serving Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, and the broader Durham Region in person and online across Ontario.

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.

Sanja Dejanovic
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, PhD
Hello! I'm Sanja. Feeling stressed, overwhelmed or stuck? Unsure how to change what you are experiencing, situations, or dynamics? Sometimes another viewpoint can help us navigate our path when we are unable to see a way through. I am a compassionate and nonjudgmental therapist who cares about witnessing others as they reconnect with themselves, explore their inner worlds and undergo changes they are aiming towards. If you are thinking of accessing therapy, connect with me to chat about your current experiences and how I could be there for you. I'm an experienced, skilled, and attuned therapist who has a variety of therapeutic approaches in her toolkit and integrates them in a way that works for you, whether you are seeking to navigate grief and loss, anxiety, depression, stressors, difficult emotions, familial and partnership challenges, addictions or other things weighing you down. I provide individual, couples and group therapy in Ontario and other provinces. Looking forward to connecting with you and collaboratively working with you toward your goals!

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.

Moeez Munshi
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Qualifying, Clinical Intern
I believe in the power of personal growth and self-discovery. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, respect, and a deep appreciation for each person's unique journey. I understand that life's challenges, whether it’s navigating relationships, dealing with past trauma, or managing anxiety, can feel overwhelming. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where individuals can explore their experiences, uncover their strengths, and work through difficulties at their own pace. Together, we will build a path forward that fosters healing, hope, and resilience.
I offer a safe, compassionate space for individuals to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Using a blend of evidence-based approaches, including cognitive-behavioural and humanistic techniques, I work collaboratively with clients to help them gain clarity, overcome
challenges, and develop practical strategies for lasting change.
If you're feeling unsure or facing challenges, I invite you to get in touch. I'm here to listen, answer any questions you may have, and support you in your journey. If we’re not the right fit, I can help connect you with the right resources and guide you toward finding the support you deserve.
