Danny Batraki
Registered Provisional Psychologist
“Hi, I’m Danny! I’m a Registered Provisional Psychologist and I believe everyone has a story shaped by their experiences and values. We are the authors of our stories, but sometimes we get writer’s block in tough times. My goal is to learn your story and help you gain the right tools to find the ending that’s right for you.”
Liam McClean
Registered Provisional Psychologist
“Hi, I’m Liam! I’m a Registered Provisional Psychologist, and I believe we are who we are because of our unique experiences. I work primarily from a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) lens, which means we would look for the core beliefs that are negatively impacting you and reshape those. You know yourself best, and I am here to help you with your personal growth with the tools that work best for you, meeting you where you are at.”
Keisha Doucette
Registered Provisional Psychologist
“Hello! I’m Keisha. Beyond the therapeutic approaches, the relationship between you and your therapist is crucial. When I think of this relationship, empathy, trust, and compassion come to mind. I believe that you are the expert on your own life and only through a safe and open environment can we identify and develop the strengths you’ll need to reclaim your confidence, optimism, and resilience.”
Jyoti Rana
Registered Clinical Counsellor
“Hi, I’m Jyoti. I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor and Registered Clinical Counsellor in BC. I bring more than twelve years of clinical counselling experience with evidence-based approaches to support you and your well-being. My goal is to see my clients become the best versions of themselves. As thoughts and emotions find expression, witnessing the growth and healing process is what I love about being a therapist. When a seed is planted in the soil, we don’t make it grow; we provide the right conditions, like sunlight and water, for it to bloom. Similarly, when a safe space is held, healing happens within.”
Emad Zahedi
Registered Psychotherapist
“Hi! I’m Emad, and I am dedicated to serving individuals from diverse backgrounds and providing a safe and judgement-free space that allows clients to freely speak their truth. In our sessions, I will equip you with practical tools for coping with stress, improving communication, and fostering healthier relationships. If you are ready to take the next step towards healing, I would be honoured to be part of your journey and look forward to working with you.”
Jamie Warrack
MSW, Registered Social Worker (Not Accepting New Clients)
“Hi, I’m Jamie. I ensure individuals can anticipate sessions characterized by respect, honesty, kindness, compassion, humour, and empathy. Employing integrated and holistic approaches, I recognize the interconnectedness of life experiences and their impact on physical, psychological, behavioural, and spiritual well-being, guiding individuals toward discovering new paths forward. I am deeply passionate about the counselling process and feel privileged when individuals entrust me to accompany them on their journey towards healing.”
Katya Verziolva
MSW, Registered Social Worker
“Hi, I’m Katya. Grounded in trauma-informed practice, I guide couples and individuals in exploring past experiences, processing emotions and navigating life transitions. I help uncover patterns that are keeping you stuck and unfulfilled, fostering the development of effective self-regulation and communication skills. I specialize in empowering individuals to challenge negative self-narratives, find direction, and discover their unique identity. I support couples in building the nurturing, passionate and connecting relationships they envision.”
Peter Stone
MSW, Registered Social Worker
“Hi, I’m Peter. My goal is always to make you feel safe and seen, celebrating and honouring that you have entered into the experience. I believe we are all experts on our own lives and try to explore that by working from a strength-based, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, client-centred perspective. I believe we all possess the strength and courage to make the most of our brief time that we are gifted here and I consider it a privilege if I can support someone in some small way to reach that goal.”
Laurie Hamm
MSW, Registered Social Worker
“Hi, I’m Laurie. I believe one of the best gifts therapy has to offer is a space and therapeutic relationship to feel seen, heard, and supported. My approach is invitational, strength-based and compassion-focused. I aim to individualize the therapeutic space to meet your personal goals, which means you have the freedom to decide to take what is helpful from sessions and leave what is unhelpful. You are the driver, and I am the navigator: I offer options for directions to turn, but in the end, you get to choose which turns you want to take.”
