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.

Ashleigh Bell
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Qualifying
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.

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).

Sherine Chacko
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Hi, I’m Sherine Chacko, a Registered Social Worker with over 16 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through emotional, relational, and life challenges.
I often work with clients who look like they are managing on the outside but feel overwhelmed internally. You may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship stress, emotional reactivity, lack of motivation, or a sense of disconnection from yourself. You may be seeking coping strategies, but also wanting to understand yourself more deeply.
My goal is to create a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space where you can speak openly, feel understood, and begin making meaningful changes. I believe therapy works best when it is collaborative. I do not see my role as doing the work for you, but as walking alongside you as you develop insight, confidence, emotional clarity, and practical tools for your life.
I also believe that no person exists in isolation. Your relationships, culture, values, faith, family history, and life experiences all matter. In therapy, we will consider the full context of who you are — not just your symptoms.

Rubina Gogna
Registered Psychotherapist, B.A., M.A., Registered Psychotherapist
*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENT'S* I am so glad you are here and putting forth your needs first or maybe you are here because your friend or family member needs support or you are just tired of feeling this ‘Numb’ feeling and you want some answers as to “Why are you feeling this way? or asking yourself “Why don’t I feel happy or sad anymore?”, “Why am I like this?”, What is wrong with me? If I have made you question yourself right now then you are in the right place with the right person. As your therapist, I will help you explore all these feelings.

Registered Social Worker, MSW, BA, RSW
Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions, trapped in cycles of unhealthy behaviours, or the impacts of past trauma? Do your emotions lead you to engage in patterns you wish you could break?

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.

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.
