Rubina Gogna
Registered Psychotherapist, B.A., M.A., Registered Psychotherapist
With my background in Addictions and Mental Health, I have worked in many inpatient and outpatient settings to support people with addictions specifically, substances, alcohol, hoarding, gambling and the internet. With my expertise, I am able to collaborate with my clients and find the best support and create a wellness plan that best suits their journey for recovery. I will coordinate with other providers to help you maintain sobriety and get to the bottom of your reasons to engage in such addictive behaviors.

Hoarding
Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Hoarding behaviours are often connected to anxiety, grief, trauma, overwhelm, attachment, or difficulty making decisions. Therapy can help you explore the emotional meaning of possessions, reduce shame, and build gradual, realistic strategies for change. The goal is not judgment or pressure, but support, understanding, and practical movement at a manageable pace.

Hoarding
Lexi Gayne Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
The objects we surround ourselves with often tell a story of seeking safety, comfort, or control. However, when your space becomes overwhelmed, it can lead to profound isolation and heavy shame. Your attachment to these belongings serves a purpose, and in our sessions, we will explore that without an ounce of judgment. Using specialized, highly practical tools, we will collaboratively untangle the intense anxiety and distress connected to letting things go. We will navigate this process together at a pace that feels genuinely safe for you, allowing you to gradually reclaim your physical environment and rediscover a sense of freedom and peace in your own home.

Hoarding
Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Hoarding often reflects an unhealthy attachment rooted in unmet needs. In therapy, by providing a safe and fulfilling therapeutic relationship, the part of the self that was never fully attached can find its needs met. This allows the unhealthy attachment, to objects or behaviors to naturally drop.

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.
