Julianna Hany, M.S.W., R.S.W.
Hi, I’m Julianna!
If your child is struggling with big feelings, low confidence, anxiety, sadness, grief, ADHD, or challenges with behavioural and emotional regulation, I’m here to help. I provide a safe, welcoming space where kids and teens can express themselves, explore their emotions, and learn new ways to cope. I also work closely with parents and families through caregiver support and coaching, helping you bring strategies from therapy into everyday life so your child’s growth can continue at home.
Children often communicate best through play, which is why I use Child-Centered Play Therapy—an experiential, evidence-based approach that allows kids to learn strategies and practice new skills in a hands-on, engaging way. For teens and older children, I create a supportive environment where they can talk openly, learn coping tools, and feel truly understood. My goal is to walk alongside your family as you navigate challenges and move toward greater confidence, healing, and hope. Click here to read more about my approach and training.

Bas Yalda, M.S.W., R.S.W.
Hello and welcome to my profile. I am thrilled to welcome new clients. Putting yourself first
can be challenging, but it's a journey filled with hope, potential for growth, and a commitment to
a better future. I hold a Master of S
ocial work degree from Wayne State University and am registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. I have extensive experience in addressing various mental health conditions, including
depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, gender dysphoria, OCD, and relationship issues. I
provide a holistic, trauma-informed, non-judgmental, unbiased, and anti-oppressive approach to
offer the best support and understanding possible.
I specialize in psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural therapies and have additional training
in evidence-based modalities. This means I can integrate dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT),
acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), play therapy, and attachment-based therapy, among
others, into practice. Additionally, I have received training in mental health first aid and suicide
prevention programs.
I will assess your progress and work together to ensure you reach a safe, fulfilling, and
liberating place. Please share your thoughts, feelings, and concepts with me! This space is
dedicated to discussing you and your world. I am enthusiastic about connecting with you and
commencing your unique journey.

Christina Hindi, M.S.W., R.S.W.
Hi there – I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Christina, a Registered Social Worker with over 13 years of experience. I completed my Master of Social Work at the University of Windsor in 2012, and I’ve been working in children’s mental health ever since.
At any stage, life can bring moments that feel overwhelming or uncertain. Whether you're navigating growing up or parenting, I’m here to help. Children facing big emotions, teens experiencing school or social pressures, young adults exploring independence and identity, and caregivers doing their best to care for their families — each comes with its own challenges, and support can make a real difference. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore what’s going on, feel heard, and start building tools for healing, connection, and growth. I aim to make therapy feel comfortable and interactive, so even difficult topics can feel a little lighter and more manageable.
For caregivers, I know how overwhelming it can be to see your child or teen struggle. I deeply believe that caregivers bring so much wisdom and strength to the table — my role is to walk alongside you, offering guidance and support while helping you tune into what your child or teen truly needs. We’ll explore your relationship, your goals, and your family’s needs to build stronger connections and a path forward that feels right for you. Click here to read more about my approach and training.
