Our Lakeshore Team
Stacey Coene, M.S.W., R.S.W.
Hello and Welcome!
I’m Stacey, the founder of Bloom. My vision for Bloom is simple but powerful: to create a community where children, teens, and young adults feel empowered to understand their emotions, navigate challenges, and live their best lives—without stigma.
Mental health conversations are becoming more open as parents strive to break cycles that no longer serve their families, and as youth explore healthier ways to cope with life’s ups and downs. This inspires me every day. I would be honoured to walk alongside you and your family on this journey. At Bloom, you’ll find a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My primary goal in every session is connection.
For Parents
Every child faces emotional hurdles. Over the past twenty years, I’ve supported youth navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, ADHD, OCD, school stress, and identity exploration. I know how overwhelming it can feel as a parent to watch your child struggle and not know how to help. I’ve worked closely with parents who want to help their children reach their potential and learn to see themselves as the unique, capable, and gifted individuals they are. Let me be your guide and ally. My role is not only to help your child cope with what’s happening today, but to give them tools to face future challenges with resilience and confidence. I will meet your child where they’re at—always with warmth, openness, and creativity. As a social worker, I believe in taking a reflective, collaborative approach, while also working to reduce stigma and build mental health literacy within families.

For Youth
Life can feel really overwhelming sometimes. Between school, friends, family, and everything else going on, it’s easy to feel stressed, anxious, or just… stuck. If that sounds like you, and you’re looking for a safe space to figure things out, I’m here for you. Talking to a therapist without parents in the room can feel freeing—you get time that’s just for you. Together, we can make sense of what you’re feeling and why, and turn those struggles into growth, strength, and confidence.

Dana Peltier, M.S.W. R.S.W.
Hi and welcome!
I’m so glad you’re here. Starting therapy can feel like a big step—for kids, teens, or parents—and my goal is to make it feel safe, supportive, and even empowering.
For the past nine years, I’ve worked with children, teens, adults, and families to help them navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, big life changes, and everyday struggles. Whether you’re a young person looking for someone to really listen, or a parent searching for support for your child, I’ll meet you with compassion, understanding, and a plan that fits your unique needs. Click here to read more about my approach and training.
Others often describe me as approachable, empathetic, and strengths-focused. To me, therapy isn’t about “fixing” people—it’s about walking alongside you, helping you feel seen and heard, and supporting you in building confidence, capacity, and hope. I have a deep respect for each person's unique story and resilience.
It takes courage to reach out, and I want you to know that I am here as a resource to help you every step of the way. Together, we can create meaningful change.

Hadeel Elzubeidi, M.S.W., R.S.W.
Growing up (or raising kids) isn’t easy, and sometimes it helps to have someone to walk alongside you. I support teens, children, and parents to explore feelings, build coping skills, and feel truly seen, understood, and empowered in both daily life and in the bigger picture.
Hi, I’m Hadeel!
Life can feel big, messy, and confusing; whether you’re a child trying to make sense of your feelings, a teen figuring out who you are, or a parent hoping to support your child without feeling lost. I’m here to help your family find calm, connection, and clarity.
In our sessions:
Children can play, draw, and explore their emotions in hands-on ways, learning practical strategies to manage big feelings and build confidence.
Teens can talk openly, reflect on challenges, develop coping skills, and gain clarity about themselves and their relationships.
Parents and caregivers receive guidance, coaching, and practical tools to support their child’s growth at home, strengthen connection, and navigate everyday challenges with confidence.
No matter the challenge, be it big emotions, anxiety, ADHD, autism, self-esteem struggles, or parent-child conflict; my goal is to walk alongside your family, helping everyone build trust, resilience, and a stronger sense of who they are.

Sara Lindsey, M.S.W., R.S.W.
Welcome! I am a compassionate, engaging, and skilled clinician that has over a decade of experience working with youth and their families. I have worked in school settings and various community agencies, including Maryvale and Windsor Regional Children's Centre. I received my Masters of Social Work degree from the University of Windsor, and am registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers.
I have helped individuals with an array of concerns including anxiety, school avoidance, OCD, depression, self-harm, suicidal ideation, anger, identity struggles, social/peer relationship stressors, and parent-child conflict. I am trained in a variety of therapeutic approaches and modalities, including Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT).
Through my work experience, I have provided caregiver support and coaching to allow parents to best support their child, to increase their confidence in responding effectively to their child’s needs, and to more consistently be the parent they want to be.
Being a teen, and parenting one is hard. I take a trauma-informed, strengths-based, child-centred, and family systems approach to my practice to allow for most effective outcomes. I meet youth and families where they are at, and recognize the value in simply feeling heard/validated. I support youth in identifying and building on what they are already doing that is good for them. I help youth focus on what is in their control and build their awareness about what may be keeping them stuck. I support youth in learning/practicing healthier ways of getting their needs met, reducing their suffering, and intentionally creating a life worth living.
