Azin Heydari
Registered Psychotherapist, RP; MA
I work alongside you on this self-exploratory journey, not only showing curiosity about the thoughts that shape your emotional world but also the nervous system patterns held in your body. Real change occurs when the mind and body begin communicating differently, and I will collaborate with you to explore this process with care, curiosity, and evidence-based tools. My approach is warm, relational, and grounded in trauma-informed methods that create space for deep emotional work at a pace that feels safe. If you’re ready to understand your patterns, reconnect with yourself, and find lasting relief—not quick fixes—I am here to support your healing through this process.

Tehmina Ayana Meherali
Counsellor/Therapist, M.Ed, CCC, CMHP
Healing happens in relationship and I create a heart-centered space for our work together. I have many years of experience working with clients on issues ranging from anxiety to relationship difficulties and life transitions. I use a therapy model called Internal Family Systems (IFS), which helps you understand the different parts of you that are experiencing challenges. For instance, there may be a part of you who is a perfectionist, or a part that may feel overwhelming anxiety. We get to know these parts of you in a compassionate and curious way, which helps you to get to the root cause. Through this clarity, a spaciousness opens up in your psyche and body, which can often lead to profound healing. I teach clients how to engage their mind, body, and spirit in the healing process.

Victoria Lorient-Faibish
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd, RP, CCC, RPE
My mottos are : "Be the cycle-breaking hero of your family lineage! The buck stops with you. Stop Dimming Your Light AND start disrupting multigenerational family patterns"
I have created a unique blend of traditional talk therapy and eastern based modalities that work with the mind, the body and the soul which I call Holistic Psychotherapy. In addition to verbal unpacking of the core issues, I use neural science, visualization and intention to rewire the mind and belief systems that a person may have learned as survival tools in childhood, that no longer work for them in their adult lives and relationships. The work powerfully affects permanent and long-lasting change in an adult individuals, couples and/or adult families.
My main focus is to disrupt multi generational dysfunction.

David Rockman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW RSW BA psych hon
In uncertain times, it is common to feel overwhelmed by difficulties and feel stuck in a cycle of challenges in the 6 general arenas of human experience: habituated repertoire of thoughts, emotions, soma, behaviours, situations, and environment. Many of the problems we experience are not our fault, but they can still have a significant impact on our mental health and well-being. As a psychotherapist with 27 years of experience in Toronto, I have helped countless individuals effectively and quickly resolve a variety of issues, including self-other relationship stressors, trauma from sexual abuse, emotional regulation, feelings of betrayal and abandonment, social anxiety, self-blame, self-esteem issues, motivation problems, and mis-transits of anger, shame and grief.

Yasmin Rombola-Bacchus
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), Dipl. Psych.
I see therapy as a sacred space that offers clients the opportunity to pause from the constant distractions life presents to engage and reflect on our inner and outer worlds. While this process may at times feel challenging or even painful, it can also lead to peaceful and celebratory reflections. I am committed to ensuring that clients feel seen, heard, and respected, and that our conversations lead to unique transformations achieved through empowerment.

Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Qualifying), MSc, MA
I know how scary it can be to face our struggles and open up to a new person—I’ve been in therapy myself for many years. It’s not easy work! That's why I’m focused on building trust and staying curious about who you are and how you’re experiencing the process. My hope is that you leave sessions feeling cared for, understood, accepted, and connected with. Clients find that this experience builds self-understanding, a sense of worth, and a growing agency they carry into the rest of their lives.
I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who practices psychodynamic, relational therapy. This approach understands our struggles as stemming from difficulties in relationships, past and present. Maybe you haven’t received the kinds of connections, supports, and understanding you’ve needed and it’s impacted how you relate to yourself and others. Perhaps bad experiences have made it hard to navigate daily life or build new dynamics. You might be navigating loss, abandonment, harm, guilt, or conflict and need support with this. We’re nearly all impacted by cultures of disconnection, over-work, domination, and hyper-individualism. Relational therapy can be a space to notice all of this and experience something new—a more connected and fulfilling inner and outer life.
I’m dedicated to practicing from a client-led and trauma-informed perspective that understands the deeply traumatic impacts of white supremacy, colonialism, cishetero-patriarchy, ableism, and other oppressions. I will hold curiosity for how systems, culture, and identity impact your life, relationships, and our work together.
But in all of this, we only go as deep and as wide as you want to—I make sure we’re following your pace and attending to what feels most urgent. I won't tell you what healing looks like for you, but I'll be excited to figure that out together.

Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Life can feel overwhelming, confusing, or exhausting—especially when stress, anxiety, health concerns, or relationship challenges start to pile up. Psychotherapy offers a confidential, non-judgmental space to slow things down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and develop practical ways to cope.
Working with a trained therapist can help you manage anxiety, chronic stress, emotional overwhelm, chronic illness (including cancer-related stress), relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about building insight, emotional regulation, and skills that support real change in your daily life.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, burned out, emotionally reactive, or simply unsure how to move forward, therapy can help you gain clarity, strengthen resilience, and reconnect with a sense of balance and direction. Sessions are collaborative and paced to meet you where you are, with tools you can use beyond the therapy room.
Reaching out for support isn’t a weakness—it’s a practical and intentional step toward better mental health and overall well-being. You don’t have to manage everything on your own. With the right support, it’s possible to feel more grounded, capable, and aligned with the life you want to live.
