Teena is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who works with adults and adolescents who are experiencing change, uncertainty, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck in some area of their lives. She has particular interests in trauma, identity, life transitions, and supporting members of the 2SLGBTQI+ community.

Her approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that understanding ourselves more deeply can create new possibilities for how we respond to life. Teena draws from humanistic and psychodynamic approaches, along with ACT and emotion-focused therapy. She is trained in Brainspotting for clients who are interested in working with experiences that may be difficult to access through words alone. Her work is trauma-informed and adapted to the needs and preferences of each client.

Teena brings both professional training and lived experience to her work. Her own life has included significant career changes, fertility challenges and grief, coming out later in life, and creating a family arrangement outside traditional expectations. These experiences have given her an appreciation for the complexity of change and the many different ways people find their way forward.

Clients can expect a therapist who is warm, curious, and down to earth. Teena aims to create a space where people can feel understood without judgment, explore what matters to them, and develop greater clarity about where they want to go next.

Welcome and Thank you! Over the past 8 years I have expanded my knowledge of people and what they go through in their day to day lives. I am a recent graduate of the Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology program at Yorkville University, working under the supervision of Aline Maia, Registered Psychotherapist (MA, M.Ed, CC-PMH).

I work well with individuals who may be struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, life transitions, or challenging family relationships. Many of my clients deeply love their parents or family members, yet find themselves navigating relationships that feel complicated, painful, or emotionally draining. They may be questioning what a healthy relationship with a parent looks like, grieving the relationship they wish they had, or learning how to set boundaries while still maintaining connection. Together, we create a safe space to explore these experiences, gain clarity, and determine what feels right for you.

I offer a warm, nonjudgmental environment where you can openly process life’s challenges and relationship dynamics. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help clients understand patterns that may be keeping them stuck, develop healthier boundaries, navigate family conflict, and cultivate self-compassion. Whether you’re working through anxiety, managing difficult family relationships, or creating a healthier foundation for your own future relationships and family, we’ll work together to identify what aligns with your values and well-being.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re carrying the weight of difficult emotions or complex family experiences. You don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy can be a place to feel heard, understood, and supported as you work toward healing, greater self-trust, and relationships that feel healthier and more authentic. If you’re ready to take that next step, I would be honoured to walk alongside you.

I am an intern therapist who works with teens, adults, and parents navigating anxiety, overwhelm, life transitions, relationships, and the general messiness of being human.

I’m especially passionate about supporting teens and young adults, as well as new and expecting parents adjusting to pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood. My approach is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. Therapy with me doesn’t have to feel overly clinical—you’re welcome to show up exactly as you are, even if you’re not quite sure where to start.

Hi, I’m Elaine.

I work with people: → navigating GRIEF, including those experiencing the complicated aftermath of suicide loss. → having the same argument over and over again in their marriage, particularly when ADHD is affecting the relationship. → recovering from narcissistic or emotional abuse in the workplace. → entrepreneurs who are burnt out and exhausted by the financial rollercoaster of running a business.

Underneath a lot of this is a fear people don’t always say out loud: that they’ll end up alone, or that nothing is ever really going to change.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent two decades in entrepreneurship while navigating burnout, financial pressure, personal loss, and becoming a wife and mother in my forties.

My approach is attachment-based and trauma-informed, with additional training in Trauma of Money and Hypnotherapy. Sessions are about understanding the patterns you’re ready to stop repeating.

Chloe is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who works primarily with teens and young adults navigating social anxiety, ADHD, and chronic stress. With a background in education, she brings experience working with young people facing academic pressure, perfectionism, and the emotional challenges that can come with work, school, and major life transitions. She takes a collaborative and integrative approach to therapy, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and humanistic frameworks. Chloe helps clients reduce self-criticism, build self-compassion, understand unhelpful patterns, and move toward values-aligned goals. She also works with clients to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, attention challenges, and the ways ADHD can impact focus, motivation, and emotional regulation in everyday life.

I am a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology student at Yorkville University, working toward registration as a psychotherapist under the supervision of Aline Maia, Registered Psychotherapist (MA, M.Ed, CC-PMH).

I am passionate about supporting adults, particularly those navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and the early years of parenting, through periods of transition, overwhelm, and identity change. Becoming a parent can bring profound joy, but it can also surface anxiety, grief, burnout, and a sense of losing oneself. As a mother of three and a trained Birth Support Companion, I understand firsthand how emotionally complex this season of life can be, and how much support it can take just to feel steady again.

Before entering the counselling field, I worked in both nonprofit and corporate settings. These experiences shaped my understanding of resilience, burnout, competing demands, and the pressure many people feel to “hold everything together” while quietly struggling. This perspective continues to inform my work with clients who are balancing caregiving, work, relationships, and their own well-being.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each client. Grounded in person-centred therapy, I integrate attachment-based perspectives, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and nervous system–informed approaches to support emotional regulation, connection, and meaningful change. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are and feel supported in taking gentle, practical steps forward.

I provide virtual sessions on Wednesdays and Fridays to clients across Ontario.
