Hello! I’m Aijia (pronounced ‘Ey-Gee-Uh)’). As someone who did not always feel seen, I am passionate about making space for others to feel seen. I believe this is what curates feelings of safety and acceptance and helps us all to grow in empowerment. I offer compassion, kindness and knowledge in my work to help create a safe environment for individuals to move towards their desired change. My specialties involve working with the BIPOC community for: anxiety disorders, clinical depression, self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, and life transitions. I work from a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive lens - with that in mind, I tend to use both traditional and non-traditional approaches in treatment. Having worked in the performing arts industry for over 16 years, I integrate expressive art techniques with other evidence-based, talk-therapies, such as Acceptance & Commitment therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused therapy (SFT). Using expressive art intervention means that we can use music, art, movement or drama (to name a few) to help identify what we are thinking or feeling. We can also use these tools to help us manage difficult emotions. Research has proven the amazing impact of expressive art when coupled with other evidence-based practices! A beautiful opportunity to honour the art that IS therapy. I see youth (16+), individual adults and couples. When I am not seeing clients, some things I enjoy include: quality time with my husband and son, long distance running, travelling, exploring new aspects of my creativity, singing at my church & organizing my home!

Hello! I'm Zoya (pronounced Zo-Yah), here to support you on your journey to mental wellness. My passion for empowering others and understanding the human experience has always been the driving force behind my therapeutic practice. I am deeply committed to helping individuals facing a variety of challenges, drawing from my expertise in complex mental health. Whether it's mood and anxiety disorders, substance use, or neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD, I provide support from symptom management and navigating the mental health system to building coping strategies. As a first-generation South Asian, I can relate to the complexities that come along with navigating your cross-cultural identity. Much of my practice is focused on specialized guidance to help you explore your cultural identity with the intricacies of modern life.

If you're experiencing difficulties in your relationships, I'm here to help you strengthen connections, improve communication, and resolve conflicts effectively. In my therapeutic approach, I integrate a holistic perspective that encompasses all aspects of your life. Alongside traditional modalities such as CBT and DBT, I incorporate mindfulness-based practices like MBSR to help manage and cope with stress. I offer counselling in: English, Urdu and Hindi. When I’m not in sessions, you'll find me embracing an active lifestyle, connecting with my creative side through art and music, and cuddling with my cat Bear as a certified home-body!

Hi, I’m Chanté! Pronounced, Shawn-Taye. For as long as I can remember, I have been passionate about helping people who are struggling in their relationships (even the one they have with themselves). Why? Because I wholeheartedly believe that the state of one's relationships greatly impacts all the other areas of their life. In short: When our relationships don’t feel good, neither do we. My former work as a relationship coach guided me towards eventually completing my Honours Bachelor of Science degree with a Specialist in Mental Health from the University of Toronto, and Masters of Social Work degree from the University of Windsor. I have worked in both community mental health and private practice settings for a total of 8+ years, which as a combination has provided me a comprehensive understanding of the complexities of the human experience, as well as an understanding of how important effective support is. All that being said, relationship issues tend to be my main squeeze, however alongside that I support individuals (18+) within a wider range of areas including: depression, anxiety, self-esteem, racial/cultural identity, unemployment, life transitions, and anger and stress management. I also provide premarital counselling for young couples, and would consider myself knowledgeable in and an advocate for men’s mental health. As a mixed woman of color with multiple intersecting identities, who was raised in Scarborough alongside other racialized communities and immigrant families, I have a lot of lived experience and naturally connect with folks from diverse backgrounds. I take pride in being relatable and understanding, ensuring that clients feel comfortable and supported throughout their therapy journey. My approach is collaborative, culturally-sensitive and strengths-based. When I’m not working, I’m either listening to a self-development podcast, decluttering my closet for the hundredth time, or having a dance party with my kiddos. I’m also a huge bookworm, but can’t seem to complete any lately within this season of motherhood!
