Dr. Iara Da Costa
Psychologist, Clinic Director
I am an active participant in our conversations and bring authenticity and humour to our interactions. I combine a great deal of empathy and compassion with gentle calls to accountability and change.
Janice Weintraub
Psychological Associate
Through a developmental lens, I can help you bring context to your concerns, see unhelpful patterns, and change portions of the picture that don’t serve you so you can show up differently in small moments and in big ones.
Nicole Masil
Social Worker
My therapeutic stance is one of respect and active engagement. I like to explore resiliency, knowledge, aspirations and resources, while gently redirecting thinking and behavioural patterns so you can feel connected to yourself and others.
Karla Belfon
Social Worker
I believe that human connection is transformative. My approach to change is collaborative, compassionate and based on mutual respect and honesty. Conversations often lead back to the themes of acceptance, resilience and self-compassion.
Dr. Andrea Rocha
Psychologist (Supervised Practice)
I am intrigued by the way that humans are wired to connect with others. I value diversity and the strength that it brings to the development of authentic relationships. I operate from a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive framework that is LGBTQ2IA+ affirming..
Jaime Saibil

Rachel Berkovich
Social Worker
I aim to create a space where even the most challenging thoughts and feelings, the ones we feel no one else experiences, can be brought into the room. We will work together to discover what you value and find ways to help you move towards what matters most, even when life feels unmanageable.
