Have you been feeling sad, anxious, alone, or discouraged? Are you searching for ways to improve the quality of your life and relationships? It’s common to feel stuck in a place that feels impossible to escape—but you don’t have to go through it alone. Reaching out for professional support can be a powerful, life-changing step. Together, we will walk this journey in a calm, supportive, and non-judgmental space, where healing and growth are not only possible but expected.
With a background in Kinesiology, I bring a holistic perspective that integrates body, mind, and spirit—recognizing that true healing occurs when every part of you is seen, heard, and nurtured. I also have a pharmaceutical background and an understanding of the effects of medications prescribed by healthcare professionals, which helps me better understand the full scope of your experience. This unique combination allows me to consider your physical, emotional, and mental health together, offering a truly integrative approach to support meaningful and lasting change.
I truly believe that healing happens through connection—and I say this not just as a therapist, but as someone who has sat in the counselee chair. I’ve experienced many of the same emotions you may be feeling right now, and I want you to know you do not have to go through anything alone. My therapeutic approach is not one-size-fits-all. I draw from a range of evidence-based techniques and modalities, but most importantly, I tailor our work together to your unique needs, challenges, and goals. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, past trauma, or relationship issues, there is hope—and I believe that every painful experience can carry meaning and purpose.
In our work together, I will help you uncover and understand the deeper patterns that may be influencing your emotions, automatic thoughts, and behaviours—many of which may have formed during childhood or through past experiences. As we gently explore these layers, you’ll begin to feel more empowered, more self-aware, and more connected to your authentic self. You’ve already taken the first step by being here—and I’m honoured to walk alongside you on this path toward healing.

Melika Naghdineh
My journey into psychotherapy began with a strong desire to support others during life’s most difficult moments. Over time, this grew into a deep passion for helping individuals navigate the challenges of anxiety, depression, and stress. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I am committed to creating a safe, compassionate space where clients feel truly heard and supported.
In my practice, I draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, while also incorporating Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SBT) to highlight strengths and build practical, forward-looking strategies. This integrative approach allows clients to gain both clarity and concrete tools for meaningful change.
I believe therapy is most effective when it is collaborative. My role is to walk alongside clients as they work toward greater balance, resilience, and well-being—offering both professional guidance and genuine care along the way.

My journey into psychotherapy began with a genuine curiosity about people’s stories and a heartfelt desire to support others through life’s ups and downs. Over time, I realized how deeply I valued being there for people during their most challenging moments, and that led me to follow the path of becoming a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying).
As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I work with individuals who are experiencing stress, depression, and anxiety, and I strive to create a space where you can feel truly heard, understood, and supported. My approach blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). These approaches not only offer practical strategies for coping with difficult emotions, but also help you discover your own strengths, inner resources, and capacity for positive change.
At the heart of my work is the belief that you don’t have to go through your struggles alone. Therapy is a place for connection, healing, and growth. My goal is to walk alongside you with compassion and care, helping you move toward greater balance, resilience, and a life that feels more meaningful.

(She/Her/Hers)
My own experience as a first-generation immigrant and mother has given me a profound awareness of various challenges that individuals and families encounter when adjusting to change and establishing a successful life in a new country. My family, originally from Pakistan, moved to Canada with the hope of creating a better life. The process of adjusting to a new culture and navigating the complexities of immigration has significantly influenced my approach to therapy.
In my practice, I adopt a holistic and integrative approach, incorporating evidence-based modalities such as client-centred therapy, emotionally focused therapy (EFT), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and narrative therapy. I believe every individual is unique, and I tailor my interventions to address the specific needs and goals of each person.
Fluent in English, Urdu, Hindi, and Punjabi, I am able to connect with clients from diverse backgrounds on a deeper level. Having personally navigated challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and the balance of family life with personal and career growth, I am particularly attuned to the complexities of managing these aspects simultaneously.
I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space for individuals from all walks of life to explore their needs and work toward their goals. I invite you to reach out for your first confidential free session, where we can discuss how I can support you on your unique journey.

Ryan Rutledge
Truth be told, I was lost in life until I was 25. I didn’t know what I was doing with myself after high-school. I got into welding, coaching, even archaeology.
It wasn’t until I started learning about psychology that I was able to find direction in life. In learning the theories I gained a better understanding of myself, my nature and my priorities. It not only gave me understanding, but it helped me find a path in life that I could be passionate about.
Now I want to help other people experience the same thing. Life can be difficult to navigate, regardless of what age you are. What I aim to offer is guided introspection, self-discovery, and a life in harmony with your true self.

My passion is guiding those who have faced traumatic experiences and unimaginable losses through the unique challenges of grief, and the burnout faced from being a caregiver to your loved ones. I believe in using an empathic and collaborative approach to treatment, and providing a safe space to acknowledge how past experiences have influenced current problems. My goal is to work together to create self-awareness and maintain emotional wellbeing while healing from grief, trauma and burnout.
I like to take a psychodynamic approach to treatment, which involves exploring unconscious thoughts and feelings, and the influence of past experiences on present behaviour and emotions. I offer a variety of techniques from all different therapeutic approaches, in order to tailor treatment for each individual clients needs.
I welcome you to take the first step in your healing journey with me, as I guide you through the ups and downs of grief, trauma and burnout. I look forward to being a helping hand and reminding you that you are not alone in this process.

Žana Talijan Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), BA, MACP
Therapeutic Approach & Philosophy
Whether life feels overwhelming or quietly heavy, it is common to feel exhausted from constantly “performing” to meet the world’s expectations. I provide a slowed-down, compassionate space for adults and professionals—particularly those with ADHD—who are looking to move past the pressure of “keeping up” and into a life of authentic rhythm.
My approach is relational and body-based, focusing on how your history and your current environment impact your well-being. Together, we look beneath the surface of anxiety, burnout, or persistent emotional patterns to understand the “why” behind your struggles. My goal is to help you let go of the need to hide your true self and find a sense of internal ease that is sustainably yours.
