Renee Chu
Registered Psychotherapist, Hon. BA., RP (Qualifying)
Are you feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, battling anxiety, ADHD, Autism, or struggling with intense emotions and impulses? Do you find navigating social cues and communication challenging, making it difficult to build fulfilling relationships? With compassion and curiosity, I invite you to explore the influences behind your recurring patterns, so that you can achieve deep transformation and satisfaction. As a BIPOC, trauma-informed therapist experienced in navigating neurodivergent challenges, complex relationship dynamics, family/intergenerational issues, and narcissistic abuse, I tailor my approach to personal and relational growth, trauma recovery, and identity exploration.
My priority is to empower you to develop confidence, resilience, balance and a positive self-image. My therapy practice is also rooted in a lifelong interest in the interplay of our common humanity and individual uniqueness. I use a bicultural and mindfulness lens to draw from my own process of self-discovery and emotional experience to meet you in yours.
Meaningful change is possible and I am here to walk that path with you at your pace. Together, we can reshape entrenched habits that no longer serve you and overcome barriers. Reach out to me for a complimentary 50-minute consultation to begin your journey towards a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Brenda Cohen
Registered Psychotherapist, (Qualifying) BA, PsyDipl
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
We’ve all heard the saying, but can we actualize it? Can we find transformation and re-birth within our struggles, anxieties, and suffering? I too have been to the psychological underworld and battled the dragons of uncertainty and strife. I know that therapy can stimulate an exploration of the tasks and obstacles of life. Together, we can lean into adversity as an existential wake-up, calling you to new growth, understanding, and healing.
As we work together, we can:
- Harness your inner strengths and move beyond the challenges that hold you back.
- Heighten your appreciation for life
- Enhance your relationships by fostering better communication and greater connection
- cultivate a spiritual awareness that transforms how you see yourself and the world around you.
In my practice, I help clients understand that within every challenge lies the potential for deeper meaning, and a life filled with more purpose and joy.
By integrating principles from Positive Psychology, Strength Psychology, Jungian thought, and existentialism, I offer a unique approach that emphasizes healing through meaning. Together, we can uncover the paths forward—toward greater fulfillment, clarity, and an enriched sense of connectedness. Are you ready to explore the possibilities? Let's begin this transformative journey together.

Reema Qamar
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC, CCC
Driven by compassion and empathy, my goal is to support you in embarking on a journey of self-discovery where you can unpack your experiences and explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. I hold the perspective that human suffering arises when we have difficulty reconciling the difference between our reality and our expectations, which leads to disconnection from ourselves in the form of anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation. I am here to walk alongside you on your path whether you are navigating through stressful circumstances, dealing with the aftermath of a traumatic experience, or in need of compassion to feel heard or validated.
I truly believe that each individual is the expert on their life and holds the potential to heal through their inner strength and wisdom to improve the quality of their life. With validation, compassion, and trust in the therapeutic relationship, I can help individuals heal from past trauma and support them in navigating through emotional complexities. I provide a safe, warm, and cozy environment for our sessions where we can connect and chat about your concerns.

David Andreone
Therapist, MA, AMFT
Therapy with me is interactive, direct, warm, & compassionate. I spent 20+ years as a creative and A&R exec in entertainment, & still work in music & TV. When life's inevitable transitions rear their head (adolescence, college, employment, marriage, divorce, aging, grief & loss), I help you more elegantly navigate these potentially challenging life moments.
I'm warm, casual and easy to talk to. I offer evidenced-based, results-oriented interventions tailored to your specific past and present life-experiences, as well as your strengths, talents and genetics. My writing has appeared in Psychology Today, Billboard Magazine, et al. Sessions in Culver City (a stones throw from Apple, Sony, Amazon), or Telehealth.
