Living was manageable before, but something’s changed and now it feels like your emotions are out of control. I work with Gestalt therapy, Brainspotting, and Mindfulness to help you get back to living life again.

Morgan Mackenzie
Morgan Mackenzie
I specialize in empowering young adults in their late teens, 20s, and 30s reclaim confidence, happiness, and fulfillment, despite the challenges of low self-esteem, anxiety, and relationship struggles.
If you struggle with feeling that you are not enough, thinking that something is wrong with you, self-criticism when you don’t meet impossible standards, constant comparison that leaves you feeling “less than”, or the debilitating need for external validation, approval, and desire to please others even it its at your own expense, I would love to play a part in helping you get to the root cause of your concerns and equip you with the knowledge and tools needed for lasting positive change.

I have a strong background focusing on healthy relationships. This includes a focus on anger, conflict and reducing abuse. Furthermore, this work is complemented by significant experience working on issues of anxiety and depression, with much of my work predominantly done with men and young adult men.

Michael Poydenko

Hi! I’m Michael, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) specializing in talk and somatic therapy. I have education in health systems and relational therapy.
Interpersonal relationships play a central role in our mental health over our lifespan, and taking time to reflect on our closest relationships, or ourselves can be grounding and stress relieving. In a session with me, you can expect to tap into your feelings and dilemmas, get creative with problem-solving and sit with the unknown, all while being in a safe, receptive, and inclusive space.
My specific areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, self-harm, existentialism, interpersonal conflicts, spirituality, and burnout. I offer a trauma-informed and inclusive space.

Jane Kraft

I focus on anxiety, issues impacting men, depression, addiction, life changes, relationship issues and grief and bereavement counselling. I am also part of a consultation group on gender, identity and sexuality. I believe we all have many stories to tell. Each story being unique, meaningful and worth telling. Through this process of telling these story-telling, we begin to heal wounds and find ourselves again. The many stories of my life led me through loss, grief, stress and pain but also joy, connection, meaning and love. I aim to provide a safe and non-judgemental space for people to discuss their emotions, thoughts and behaviours, and engage in a plan to create a rich and meaningful life.

I provide a personalized, supportive approach to help clients navigate their unique challenges. By creating a warm, understanding environment, I guide clients through practical strategies that fit their lives and offer tools for managing stress, improving emotional resilience, and building stronger relationships. With experience across diverse backgrounds, I ensure clients feel respected and valued, whether sessions are in English, Gujarati, or Hindi.
In our work together, clients feel understood and supported as they gain insight and develop effective coping skills. Many find a renewed sense of confidence and connection, feeling more empowered to face challenges and build a fulfilling life.

Leah Goldstein

I work within an integrative approach, utilizing person-centered, CBT, ACT, DBT, IPT, IFS, EFT and psychodynamic interventions. I consider the individual and their presenting concerns, thus pulling from different orientations to best suit my client. My approach to psychotherapy relies heavily on existential ideologies, highlighting our shared human experience of daily struggles and pain and suffering. I also recognize the uniqueness of each of our stories and strengths, creating a therapy where one leaves with more insight and trust within thyself.

Benjamin Childs

Acknowledging that things are not ok is a brave first-step. First and foremost, I want you to know that you are not alone. Now let’s see if together we are a good fit to navigate these difficult thoughts, feelings, and events you’re experiencing. Many of my clients are men seeking support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges and trauma. In addition, with lived experience in the 2SLGBTQ+ community, I take pride in offering support for any related concerns.
I feel strongly that treatment is not a ‘one size fits all’ which is why I take an integrated framework, drawing upon various modalities of practice to individualize our work together to meet your needs.

Marta Salerno
Marta Salerno
I hear you. I believe in you. I care. I believe therapy is beneficial because it allows people to share their stories in an environment that is safe and considers their unique needs. I strive to validate people’s emotions (because they are understandable), to highlight their strengths (because sometimes people can’t see them) and to build hope (because it can be restored). My approach draws from the principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and person-centred techniques amongst others. I aim to help people better understand emotions, process difficult experiences, address unhelpful behaviours and work towards the life they want.

Krish Dhir

Feeling stuck in a rut of boredom and disinterest? Struggling to find motivation and energy? You’re not alone. At Krish Dhir Social Work and Psychotherapy Services, we understand the challenges men face when it comes to maintaining their mental well-being. Whether it’s work-related stress, global concerns, or just the monotony of daily life, we’re here to help.
If you notice that a loved one is showing any of the typical depression signs like oversleeping or not sleeping, tension, or uncontrollable anger (in the case of men) you should address the topic and let the person know that you care about them and that you are ready to listen when they are ready to talk.

Corey Sleep

I take a holistic approach to mental health, and have worked in fitness and areas of spirituality prior to my work as a therapist. I help men figure out their lives as they reconsider their past, close the chapters they have yet to close, and move on to the next phase of their journey. Whatever the issue, I like to attack both symptoms and the roots of whatever ails you with a mix of Cognitive-Behavioural and Narrative therapeutic approaches.
