Shanna Budzinsky
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
*Accepting New Clients* I believe that our healing begins with both safety and support. As a therapist, I strive to provide a nurturing environment where you can feel accepted and empowered to explore your stories and experiences. My journey towards becoming a psychotherapist began with my own mental health struggles relating to trauma and addiction. Those experiences of recovery and healing helped me discover the healing power of relationships. I work with individuals aged 14+ and couples and offer a free 15-minute consultation to ensure I am the proper fit for your journey.

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.

Audrey Kao
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Relationships — whether with a partner, friend, or family member — can bring stress, uncertainty, and pain.
Maybe you’re going through a breakup and feeling heartbroken. Or you’ve had a few relationships that didn’t work out and you’re starting to feel stuck in a pattern.
Perhaps you and your partner are arguing more than ever and you’re questioning where things are headed. Or you’re struggling with how to navigate a difficult family relationship.
Maybe a conflict with a friend has impacted you more than you expected. Or you’re feeling lonely and craving closer connections, but social anxiety or self-doubt are getting in the way.
If any of this feels familiar, you’re in the right place.
Hi! I'm Audrey - I'm a Registered Social Worker specializing in relationship issues. My goal is to support you in feeling secure, fulfilled, and at peace in all of your relationships, including with romantic partners, friends, and family.

Bonny Kaman Li
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP
I believe therapy should be a place where people feel safe enough to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with themselves—often for the first time in a long while. Many individuals come to therapy carrying invisible burdens: unprocessed trauma, chronic stress, cultural or family expectations, or the exhaustion of always having to hold it together.
My work is grounded in a trauma-informed, emotion-focused approach that honours each person’s lived experience, cultural context, and nervous system. I integrate evidence-based modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and somatic-based interventions to help clients understand their emotional patterns, heal from past experiences, and develop practical strategies for daily life.
I value collaboration, transparency, and respect in the therapeutic relationship. Therapy is not about fixing or forcing change, but about creating the conditions for clarity, resilience, and self-trust to emerge. My goal is to support clients in building a more grounded, compassionate relationship with themselves and moving forward with greater confidence and emotional balance.
