Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, MSc
I know how scary it can be to face our struggles and open up to a new person—I’ve been in therapy myself for many years. It’s not easy work! That's why I’m focused on building trust and staying curious about who you are and how you’re experiencing the process. My hope is that you leave sessions feeling cared for, understood, accepted, and connected with. Clients find that this experience builds self-understanding, a sense of worth, and a growing agency they carry into the rest of their lives.
I’m a Student Therapist in my final year at the Toronto Institute for Relational Psychotherapy. What is relational therapy? This approach understands our struggles as stemming from difficulties in relationships, past and present. Maybe you haven’t received the kinds of connections, supports, and understanding you’ve needed and it’s impacted how you relate to yourself and others. Perhaps bad experiences have made it hard to navigate daily life or build new dynamics. You might be navigating loss, abandonment, harm, guilt, or conflict and need support with this. We’re nearly all impacted by cultures of disconnection, over-work, domination, and hyper-individualism. Relational therapy can be a space to notice all of this and experience something new—a more connected and fulfilling inner and outer life.
I’m dedicated to practicing from a client-led and trauma-informed perspective that understands the deeply traumatic impacts of white supremacy, colonialism, cishetero-patriarchy, ableism, and other oppressions. I will hold curiosity for how systems, culture, and identity impact your life, relationships, and our work together.
But in all of this, we only go as deep and as wide as you want to—I make sure we’re following your pace and attending to what feels most urgent. I won't tell you what healing looks like for you, but I'll be excited to figure that out together.

Jess Erb
Registered Psychotherapist, DPsychotherapy
I work from a Relational Psychodynamic and Integrative framework, making sure that we find a therapeutic framework that fits you and your unique needs.
When you see me you won't be seeing an overly clinical or 'removed' therapist, but rather a real person who meets you just as you are. I am warm, empathic, and non-judgmental - providing an environment that is safe so that you can explore all concerns and distress that have brought you to therapy.
I believe that anyone, regardless of class, sexuality, gender, race/ethinicity is valuable and deserves the best care I can give them. I would be honoured to work with you! Check out my website centredself.ca for more info.
I am taking new clients and have a great team of psychotherapists who are also here to help, including our new reduced cost therapy program. Message today for a free 20-min consultation for us to find a fit that suits you!

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.

Matthew Pitts
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) - Student
I’m committed to the art of listening to clients – individuals & couples. Together we can work on creating meaningful change and healing, whether for your relationship challenges, sex/intimacy matters, men's issues, anxiety, anger, or depression. I used to work in family law in Ontario, and I’m a husband and father, so I’ve experienced family dynamics, conflict, and transformation. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), completing a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, I'm qualified to practice under supervision.
I’m interested in hearing your story, goals, hardships, feelings, beliefs, values and desires. I bring an empathic but analytical style, helping clients seek the heart of their concerns, discover themselves and negotiate the reality they want.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and it takes bravery to pursue meaningful change. Together, we can explore and work on your life challenges and your relationships in a safe and confidential space. If this resonates with you, please, reach out for a free 50-minute Zoom consultation.

I believe therapy to be that unique safer space we bravely step into that provides us with a secure frame for receiving support, processing difficult experiences, creating change or improvement where desired, and buttressing our resilience moving through an often unpredictable and sometimes unrelenting world.

Kurt Zubatiuk
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Registered Psychotherapist), Diploma TIRP, member CAPT
We all need someone to talk to, to help us through difficult times. Whether we have overwhelming issues in the present, or traumas from the past, we need someone to help us make sense of them and to stick with us through hard times. We need to know we matter.

Gwen Shandroski, Expressive Arts Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc, S-LP(C), R.P.
I help my clients/patients feel comfortable to begin therapy. I have gone through this process as a client and as a therapist many times. Feeling understood and having someone help you take a look at what is going on can be very refreshing and provide some hope. My background in speech-language pathology has prepared me to work with clients who have difficulty expressing themselves. Expressive arts therapy is an alternative way to reach feelings and represent the experience you're having.
