Does this sound like you?

What people tell us most often, and what we would work on together.

A mind that will not switch off

Worry, overthinking or panic. We look at what keeps the worry going and practise ways to settle it.

Low, flat or running on empty

Low mood, low energy, losing interest in things. We start small and work at a pace you can manage.

Trying harder has not made it easier

If it might be ADHD, we work on getting started, time and overwhelm, and the self-criticism that comes with them. No diagnosis needed.

Something that happened still will not settle

One event, or years of smaller ones. We go at your pace, grounding first, with EMDR with Melissa where it fits.

The same argument, again

For couples who keep getting stuck. We help you both see the pattern and say what each of you needs. Couples sessions are $200.

Life changed and you are struggling to keep up

A loss, a move, a diagnosis, a new country. We make room for what changed and work on what comes next.

Common questions

Therapy in North York questions

What does it cost, and is it covered by insurance?
The first 15-minute consultation is free. Individual sessions are $170 for 50 minutes with our associate therapists, or $190 with Melissa Huang; couples and family sessions are $200 ($220 for couples and family sessions with Melissa). All our therapists direct bill Sun Life and Green Shield Canada, and our Registered Psychotherapists also direct bill many other insurers, including Manulife, Canada Life and Desjardins. Which insurers depends on your therapist, so ask at your consultation. For any plan we cannot bill directly, you receive a detailed receipt to submit for reimbursement.
How soon can I get a first appointment?
The first step is a free 15-minute consultation by phone or video, usually within a few days. It is a chance to ask questions and see if we are a good fit, with no commitment to book ongoing sessions.
Do you offer evening or weekend sessions?
Yes. Weekday appointments run until 7pm, and there are some Saturday morning and Sunday times. Availability changes week to week, so the easiest way to find a time that works is the free 15-minute consultation.
Is a counsellor the same as a psychotherapist?
People use both words, and in practice they overlap. Our team are Registered Psychotherapists and Registered Psychotherapists (Qualifying), regulated by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). We offer counselling and psychotherapy for adults, teens and couples at our North York office or online in Ontario.
Where is your North York office?
Our office is at 1100 Sheppard Avenue East, Unit 407, North York, ON M2K 2W1, near Leslie and Sheppard. It is a short walk from Leslie subway station on the Sheppard line, with free parking on site and easy access by TTC, the DVP and the 401.
Do you offer virtual therapy?
Yes. Alongside in-person sessions in North York, we offer secure online therapy to anyone in Ontario. Many clients mix in-person and online sessions depending on their week.
Who do you work with, and what do you help with?
Adults, teens, children 10 and older, and couples. We help with ADHD, trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, burnout, grief and life transitions, perinatal mental health, perfectionism and people-pleasing, relationships, caregiver stress, living with a chronic illness, and recovery after a car accident or brain injury. Sessions are in English, Farsi, Russian or Mandarin. Our care is neurodiversity-affirming, and we draw on EMDR, IFS, CBT, ACT, DBT and attachment-based approaches.
