Research demonstrates that a strong therapeutic relationship is far more important than clinician modality, so it is paramount that you feel at ease with your chosen therapist. Do your research, check out websites, ask around and listen to your gut-you will know when you have found a good fit. I rely on a collaborative approach and pride myself on providing clients with the necessary tools to restore, foster and enhance their resilience and ability to problem-solve. I work with adults, youth, children, families, couples and LGBTQ community members with a variety of concerns including anxiety, social anxiety, depression, career coaching, communication, relationships, anger and trauma. While I am able to address body dysmorphia and low self-esteem, I do not work with eating disorders or provide addictions counselling.

​Please note that I do not offer emergency services or crisis counselling. Clients in immediate distress should be  taken to the hospital.

Hi, I’m Chantelle Vaz! I specialize in supporting children, youth, and young adults with anxiety, depression, neurodivergence (i.e., autism and ADHD), self-esteem, and addictions. At the core of my approach lies a strong belief in building rapport and collaboration.

Hello and Welcome!

Admitting when we need help can be difficult but taking that first step towards improving your mental health is something to be proud of. As a psychotherapist, I will meet you where you are without judgment.

My name is Ryan, and I am a member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association in good standing. Currently, I am working towards completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. I hold a BSc from the University of Waterloo and an MSc from Western University.

No two people are the same, which is why I believe in tailoring my care to the individual. I use an integrated approach to counselling, drawing from a variety of evidence-based modalities. Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or addictions, I will provide a warm space for you to grow and learn. I offer individual, couples, and family counselling for people of all ages, practicing from a culturally safe and trauma-informed lens.

I look forward to meeting you and am excited to be a part of your journey toward healing and personal growth. Reach out today to start your path to well-being.
