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.

Ferozan Nasiri
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
As a therapist with over nine years of experience, my practice is deeply rooted in connection, compassion, and evidence-based care. I’ve supported individuals, families, and communities through life transitions, anxiety, addiction, and life’s toughest moments. Whether in schools, hospitals, or my therapy practice, I provide a warm, client-centred space where healing, growth, and resilience can thrive.
I’m passionate about creating a safe, supportive environment where you can explore your inner strengths and foster self-awareness to help make meaningful, lasting change. My approach is collaborative and empathetic, using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI).

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.

Kalyna Scherbluk
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Qualifying
Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or unsure of who you are anymore? Maybe you're navigating anxiety, depression, low self-worth, or relationship challenges. You might feel lost in transition—grappling with a recent change, a difficult past, or trying to break free from behaviours that leave you feeling disconnected. These emotions can be heavy and confusing, and it’s okay if you’re not sure where to start. I’m here to help you make sense of what you're feeling and why. Therapy with me offers a compassionate, person-centred space where your story is honoured and explored with curiosity, not judgment. With training in Emotion-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based, CBT, DBT, and Narrative Therapy, I offer an integrative, trauma-informed approach tailored to your needs. Together, we’ll explore the roots of your struggles, increase self-understanding, and work toward the emotional clarity and change you're seeking. You don’t have to carry these feelings alone. Whether you're navigating life transitions, feeling anxious or emotionally stuck, or looking to strengthen your sense of self and relationships, we can explore this together. Reach out to discuss how I can support you.

Elizabeth Evans
Registered Social Worker, BS.c, RSW, AccFm, CPMed
*IN-PERSON AVAILABILITY* I believe my lived experience with parenting, grief and the challenges of adolescence infuse emphatic understanding into my practice. Life is hard!! I have also faced many of the challenges facing our children, teens and families today, and I bring my experiences into my clinical practice. The foundation of my work is steeped in hope; as I believe that hope is essential to effect positive outcomes and change.

Bonny Kaman Li
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP
I became a therapist because I know what it's like to need to rebuild — not just once, but repeatedly, across displacement, across countries, across versions of myself I had to leave behind to survive what came next. That experience shapes almost everything about how I practice today.
I don't believe therapy should feel like something done to you. I see it as a genuine collaboration — you bring your lived experience, I bring my clinical training, and we figure things out together. With your permission, I'll sometimes offer a different way of seeing something: this is what I notice — what do you think? If you see it differently, that's completely fine. We explore from there. Nothing gets handed down as fact.
A lot of the people I work with have already done real work elsewhere. They know their diagnoses, they've learned the coping skills, they can explain their patterns fluently — and it still hurts. That's usually exactly where we begin.
Before I became a therapist, I spent over a decade in the legal field and in ADHD coaching, which means I bring a slightly different lens to trauma, family conflict, and neurodivergence than clinicians who've only trained in one world. I also work with two therapy dogs, Emma and Evee, who often make the room feel safer than words alone can.
If you're the person everyone else relies on, and you're quietly wondering who's supposed to hold you — I'd like to help with that.

Samantha Mirarchi | Wild Sage Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Life as a woman in your 20s and 30s can feel EXHAUSTING, like no matter how hard you try, you're spinning your wheels and can't seem to catch a break. You're tired, anxious, overwhelmed, and questioning how you even got here.
Maybe a big change recently flipped your world upside down, like a breakup, move, job shift, or family situation that brought everything to the surface. Or maybe it's been building for a while. You’re feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, unfulfilled, and noticing the same patterns repeating themselves again and again.
You’re ready for something different. You're ready to dig deeper, understand yourself on a new level, and start creating patterns that actually move you forward. We’re here to help you do just that.
Visit our website or reach out to book a free consultation with one of our therapists! We’d love to support you.

Antony Alexander
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
There are times when we know we want something to change, but aren’t quite sure what needs to change—or where to begin.
Perhaps you want to understand yourself better, improve your relationships, develop a stronger sense of self, or make sense of patterns that seem to keep repeating. Sometimes, what brings us to therapy is a specific concern; at other times, it is simply a feeling that something in our lives or relationships isn’t quite working the way we would like it to.
I work with adults around relationships, self-esteem, emotional patterns, life transitions, and the experiences that shape how we understand ourselves and relate to others. Together, we explore not only what is happening, but what may be underneath it.
You might find yourself asking: Why do I keep responding this way? Why do I struggle to trust or feel close to others? Why is it difficult to set boundaries? Why do I keep being so hard on myself? Why do certain experiences continue to affect me?
Rather than offering quick solutions or telling you what you should do, I believe therapy is a space to slow down, become curious about your experience, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself. We work collaboratively to explore the emotions, beliefs, relationships, and patterns that influence the way you experience yourself and the world around you.
My approach draws from Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioural (CBT), Psychodynamic, and Trauma-Informed approaches. I pay attention to both your present concerns and the deeper influences that may be shaping them, while keeping our work grounded in your individual experiences and goals.
Therapy doesn't have to begin with having all the answers. Sometimes, knowing that you want something to be different is enough of a place to start.
If you’re ready to explore what’s beneath the surface and understand yourself in a new way, I’d be glad to begin that exploration with you.

Whitby is a Durham Region community east of Toronto, notably home to Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences, one of Ontario's largest dedicated mental health hospitals, which reflects the significance of mental health as a local concern and provides specialized inpatient and outpatient psychiatric services that make the area an important hub for mental health care in the eastern Greater Toronto Area. The city has grown rapidly as a commuter community for Toronto, with GO Transit service making the journey manageable, and the pressures of long commutes and the costs of homeownership are among the stressors residents bring to therapy. A private therapy sector serves those seeking outpatient counselling, and the presence of Ontario Shores means that more intensive mental health needs can be addressed locally rather than requiring travel to Toronto. Common therapy concerns include commuter and work-life stress, family and parenting pressures, anxiety, and the transition challenges of a rapidly growing community.
