Sarah Mikael
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW & MACP
I know how it feels to be broken and dead inside. Life can be a never-ending struggle of trying to belong and please but always ending up rejected and labeled to be a disappointment. I know how much damage a toxic environment can cause. I know how it feels to be singled out and called crazy because your doctor put you on antidepressants. I can feel your struggle of trying to hide behind a fake smile while struggling with holding your tears. Believe me when I say that you are not alone. I have been there but I rewrote my story and I want to help you rewrite yours.
My life changed when I realized that anything that cost me my peace of mind was too expensive to pay for. Learning to let go of overthinking and focusing on the possibilities was part of my healing journey.

As a therapist, I'm all about empathy and connection. Picture our sessions as a cozy, judgment-free zone where you can open up about anything on your mind. Together, we'll dive into your story, uncovering your unique strengths and tackling life's twists and turns with a big dose of compassion and resilience. It's a journey we'll walk side by side, with understanding and trust lighting the way.

Dr. Joan Samuel-Dennis
Registered Psychotherapist
Most people come to therapy for 2 reasons: First, whether they are conscious of it or not, they feel unsafe. Second, this lack of safety, forces them to act in ways that create disharmony and conflict with the people they value and love the most.
At the Becoming Institute, we know SAFE therapy works by the 37 rule. A safe therapist knows that traumatic responses like depression, anxiety, PTSD, burnout, anger, and interpersonal conflict require a holistic and multi-phased approach that attends to your unique mind-body-spirit response to 3 significant moments in your life. In just 3 sessions, we will end your pain and ensure you feel safe again. In 7 sessions, we will give you the tools and the insights to bring every relationship into a stage of peace and harmony. Our commitment to your success is unwavering. We guarantee a 100% client success rate, or your therapy is on us.
We specialize in quickly resolving depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other traumatic responses. Our therapists have been trained a highly effective technique that combines a powerful forgiveness process with 8 other psycho-therapeutic modalities. Our 5-step process regulates your nervous system and creates a strong sense of safety and belonging.
This is what one of our client Naomi had to say. "From the very first session, we delved right in. In just 90 minutes of the Becoming Method, I gained more self-awareness than in 18 months of weekly therapy with four previous counsellors." If you're yearning for a happy, healthy life, take the first step now—reach out for a free 30-minute consultation. https:calendly.comjsdennis2000the-mindful-fitness-program

Penelope Yen
Psychologist, BA (Hons), MACP, Registered Provisional Psychologist
Don't you wish you could move forward from trauma and stop it from impacting your day-to-day life? I can help you recover from trauma, work through relationship issues, and live a more meaningful and fulfilling life. My skills come not only from my education and training, but also from a profuse amount of lived experience. I have faced my own mental health struggles and traumas in the past and I know how hard it can be to move forward.
My goal is to provide truly helpful, evidence-based psychological assessment and counselling for adult individuals and couples. I always aim to provide the best possible type of therapy according to your preferences and the way your mind works. I am neurodiversity affirming and believe in working with you, not on you.
I have a particular interest in helping adults who have experienced trauma, whether in childhood or recently, but even if you're just going through a tough or confusing time, I can work with you to truly find a more fulfilling path through life and its issues. I also go over and above the therapy hour to provide your own portal of relevant digital resources.
