Registered Psychotherapists at Atlas Therapy

Chantal (she/her) | Registered Psychotherapist

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and a member of the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professions (OAMHP). I have specialized training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Imago Couples Therapy and Brainspotting. I work with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, BPD, low self-worth, and trauma as well as specializing in divorce and separations.

I have had the incredible privilege of living across Canada in my journey to better understand and support mental health needs. Just as we would care for a broken bone, our mental wellbeing should be prioritized rather than stigmatized. Just because we cannot see it physically or measure it does not mean that it isn’t as, if not more, important to our health and happiness. I have a background in Psychology and Medicine from Wayne State University and Saba University School of Medicine and hold a Master’s Degree from Yorkville University.

Most importantly, I work through a lens of lived experience with trauma and mental illness, which allows me to have a unique understanding and relationship with my clients. I know how wonderful it would be to have a map in order to find a way out of the darkness and fear. I also know that with the right skills and tools along the way it is possible to emerge a stronger and more resilient person.

As a psychotherapist in Windsor and Cambridge, Ontario I enjoy giving back to my community through various community programs. Atlas Therapy will be partnering with local farms to begin animal-assisted therapy to offer an alternative and highly effective form of psychotherapy. This has been shown to be particularly beneficial for clients dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD and trauma. We work to help support our clients in every way possible while believing in both traditional and alternative methods, we continue exploring new techniques and approaches to stay at the forefront of our field.

Amber (she/her) | Registered Psychotherapist

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor who has been practicing in the field for the past 8 years both in community mental health services and private practice. Training in Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy have strongly impacted the integrative therapeutic approach that I take with clients. I appreciate the opportunity to meet with individuals virtually in Ontario who are struggling with depression, anxiety, pregnancy, prenatal and postpartum issues and trauma.

Throughout our lives, we can often come up against many difficult situations and experiences that shape the way we view ourselves. Our internal stories created by these events can lead to ongoing conflicts and distress. At times, this can leave us feeling hopeless and lead us to question our strengths and abilities. This is where I help to support you in gaining self-awareness and creating lasting change to reshape your self-image and personal narrative.

Over the past 8 years, I have had the honour and privilege of joining individuals on their therapeutic journey and working together to explore their challenges and struggles while also moving towards creating a life that is meaningful for them. Through my own personal therapy, and as a wife and mother of two I have come to learn the importance of having a non-judgmental, trusting and safe space to promote healing. Within this space, I also strongly value authenticity and genuineness. These guiding principles have greatly informed the person-centred approach that I utilize.
I recognize the courage and strength that comes from seeking support during challenging times. I also recognize the importance of finding the right therapist. Because of this, a free 15-minute consultation is available in hopes of providing a better understanding of how I can help support you on this journey.

Sherice (she/her) | Registered Social Worker

Welcome to a journey of self-discovery and healing. As a dedicated and compassionate social worker, my mission is to provide a safe and nurturing space where you can explore your inner world, face life’s challenges, and unlock your potential for personal growth. I provide support to individuals in Cambridge, Ontario, and the surrounding areas who are grappling with significant mental health challenges, such as symptoms of trauma, OCD, body dysmorphia, family conflicts, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and emotion regulation. I also have a focus in working with children 3+ and teens, and the LGBTQ2Spirited community and am certified in EMDR.

My goal is to establish a strong therapeutic connection with each client, creating a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space to explore their current challenges and assist them in overcoming these obstacles using various theoretical modalities. I draw from evidence-based interventions, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Family Systems Theory, Solution Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Play Therapy, as well as other approaches tailored to each client’s strengths and needs. I hold a Master of Social Work from the University of Toronto, specializing in Children and their Families and spent 8 years working at SickKids Hospital and the Toronto Neurofeedback Psychotherapy Centre.

As a single parent to a 5-year-old child I understand the importance of self-care and practice yoga and mindfulness regularly to centre myself in my daily life. I use the tools that I teach so I can have a deeper understanding of my clients and the work we do together. Call today and book a free 15-minute consultation to see if we would be a good match.

Sarah (she/her) | Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with 8 years of experience in the field of mental health. My expertise encompasses various conditions, including Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), trauma, Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Major Depressive Disorder. I work with adults, couples, and families, offering a diverse range of therapeutic techniques, such as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Functional Family Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy.

I firmly believe that negative coping mechanisms and self-sabotaging behaviours are indicative of underlying issues, such as low self-esteem, unhelpful beliefs about oneself or the world, or unmanageable relational conflicts. Irrespective of the root cause, I am dedicated to assisting clients in exploring the origins of their problematic behaviours and guiding them toward more adaptive coping strategies. My goal is to support clients in achieving lasting change and fostering confidence and control in addressing future challenges. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients can openly express themselves, with a strong commitment to validating their experiences and strengthening their self-identity, both individually and within their families.

In my therapeutic approach, I emphasize collaboration and partnership. I work closely with my clients to empower them while collaboratively pursuing their desired goals and changes. You are the ultimate authority on your life, understanding your unique needs. I respect your guidance while offering the necessary support and guidance when it’s needed.

Selecting the right therapist can be an overwhelming decision. To ease this process, I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation. This allows you to determine if I am the right fit for you and to take the first step towards your well-being.

Neelma (she/her) | Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and am currently completing my internship at Atlas Therapy in Cambridge. I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, challenges with parenting and specialize in couples therapy. I have previously worked in international development, community food security, and refugee resettlement. I hold a BSc in Economics and Mathematics, MSc Economics, MA International Relations, and an MA in Counselling Psychology.

I am extremely passionate about cultural and spiritual diversity. I am gender and neurodiversity-affirming in all aspects of my clinical work. Using CBT, DBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Gottman, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and mindfulness, I work alongside clients to help them identify and achieve their goals. It is important for me to also understand my clients through a lens of personal life experience including loss, being a mother of two and navigating the ups and downs of a long-term marriage.

The counselling process can feel overwhelming especially when life gives us complex challenges. I aim to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space to my clients as we navigate these challenges together. I appreciate the value of bringing levity and light-heartedness to difficult circumstances. I tailor therapy based on each client’s learning style, personality, and specific needs. To do so, I value learning about individual abilities and skills as these contribute towards building resilience. I encourage clients to see challenges as opportunities to move towards a more well-balanced perspective and personal growth.

Choosing the right therapist is an important decision. I have a no-obligation 15-minute consultation to help you explore if I am a good fit for you. I acknowledge your innate strength as you take these first steps towards better mental health.

Hunter (she/her) | Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

Navigating life’s unforeseen changes and challenges is a journey for which we are seldom prepared but all need support with. I help individuals struggling with a range of mental health conditions including anxiety, trauma, challenges with school, body image and ADHD. My specialization lies in working with young adults, teens and adolescents. I believe in taking a nonjudgmental and holistic approach where I am able to connect to my clients on a personal and human level. I have a background working in emergency shelters and as a Child and Youth Worker.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the CRPO currently working towards obtaining my Master of Arts (MA) in Counselling Psychology and a clinical intern at Atlas Therapy in Cambridge Ontario. I incorporate various trainings in my practice including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and take a trauma-informed approach. I have always had a passion for helping people and hope to work alongside you in improving your wellness.

My journey and connection with others have taken me around the world from Australia to Asia experiencing the beliefs in many different practices and cultures. This has given me a unique understanding of mental health and how connection and understanding are necessary for healing. I hold a non-judgmental and safe space where we identify and reach your goals.

Please reach out so we can schedule a free consultation to meet and see if we’re a good match for your needs. This is an important first step toward enhancing your mental and physical well-being.

Darlene (she/her) | Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

For over twelve years, I’ve worked with children, parents, and families as a behavioural therapist doing interventions and addressing a range of disorders including ASD. I support children, teens and adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, emotional regulation and disordered eating. I also have a specialized focus on couples and families in the areas of co-parenting, communication, disconnection, blended families and divorce.

With you as the expert of your own life, I will work collaboratively with you to determine what approach works best while supporting you on your therapeutic journey until you have reached your desired goals. Your life may be filled with stress, uncertainty and fear but I make sure that once you step into our session you feel calm, and hopeful and have a sense of clarity.

I know how hard it is to feel vulnerable with someone. With me, I promise I will be a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your feelings and offer you the tools to reach your goals. The hope for each therapy session is for you to come closer to making your life feel manageable again.

Elizabeth (she/her) | Certified Life Coach

I am a certified Life Coach who has been helping women over the past 10 years find purpose, balance and unlimited inner strength. I graduated from the Rhodes Wellness College of Canada after which I specialized in Women’s health and nutrition. I work to impact all areas of your life including business, love, health and friendship. Through goal setting, building self-confidence, inner power and altering mindset I help women to find the best versions of themselves.
I grew up in Cambridge, Ontario watching my mother work full-time while maintaining a household and raising two children. I often found myself wondering how she managed all of this and why so much responsibility was placed on her with these multiple roles. Despite all of this she never realized how vital and important she was. Today women continue to take on many roles while facing challenges along the way. They hold greater positions of power in the workforce, they are more educated, they are more powerful and capable and yet they are still judged. Self-doubt, stress, fear, and uncertainty are all areas that hold many women back from reaching their full potential and achieving a life they did not even know was possible. It is my passion to help make this a reality for every woman that I work with. – Atlastherapy

“I now have a positive outlook on life and my future. The incredible changes that everyone around me has noticed just add to my momentum. I would recommend Elizabeth to any woman looking for a deeper meaning in life.”
-Laura B.
