Julianna Hany, M.S.W., R.S.W.
Hi, I’m Julianna!
Your late teens and early twenties are a time of huge change. You’re figuring out who you are, what you want, and how to navigate the pressures of school, work, relationships, family, and the future. It can be exciting—but also overwhelming.
If you’re feeling anxious, stuck, burnt out, or unsure of yourself, I want you to know you don’t have to go through it alone. I provide a safe, supportive space where you can talk openly about what’s going on and explore new ways of coping, healing, and moving forward.
What We Can Work On Together
I support young adults facing challenges such as:
Anxiety, stress, and overthinking
Low confidence and self-esteem
Grief and loss
Relationship struggles and boundary setting
Life transitions (school, jobs, moving, independence)
Coping with big emotions and finding balance
My Approach
I’m a registered social worker with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Windsor. Over the past five years, I’ve supported young people in both community and private settings, and my focus is always on meeting you where you’re at.
I draw from evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT). In practice, that means our sessions are collaborative, practical, and designed to give you tools you can actually use in your everyday life.
I also bring specialized training in grief and loss, along with extensive experience in crisis intervention and suicide prevention/life promotion. No matter what you’re carrying, I’m here to hold space for you and help you find your footing.
Ready to Start?
Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating—it’s about giving yourself a space to pause, reflect, and grow. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d love to walk alongside you as you build resilience, clarity, and confidence for the path ahead.

Bas Yalda, M.S.W., R.S.W.
Hello and welcome to my profile! I’m thrilled to welcome new clients. Beginning counselling—and choosing to put yourself first—can feel both courageous and vulnerable. It’s not always easy to take that first step, but it opens the door to hope, meaningful change, and a deeper connection with yourself. My goal is to walk alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and respect as you move toward the future you want for yourself.
I have extensive experience supporting others with a wide range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, gender dysphoria, OCD, and relationship challenges. I understand how these experiences can impact your sense of self, your relationships, and your day-to-day life, and I strive to provide a space where you feel seen, understood, and supported at every stage of your journey.
My approach is holistic and trauma-informed, and grounded in non-judgmental, unbiased, and anti-oppressive care. I believe that each person brings their own strengths, stories, and lived experiences, and I tailor my work to meet you where you are—emotionally, culturally, and developmentally. Together, we will explore what’s working, what feels heavy, and what possibilities lie ahead.
My Approach
I hold a Master of Social work degree from Wayne State University and am registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers.
I specialize in Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapies (CBT) 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.

Riva Laith, M.A., R.P., C.C.C.
Hello! I’m Riva, and I’m glad you’ve found your way here.
I believe that feeling safe, understood, and supported is an important part of the therapeutic process. My aim is to create a warm and welcoming space where you can feel comfortable being yourself, openly share what you are experiencing, and work toward the changes that matter to you.
I provide individual, couples, and family-focused psychotherapy to children, youth, and adults. I recognize that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, and I believe therapy is most meaningful when it is tailored to each person’s unique needs and experiences.
I take a relational approach, working alongside you to better understand your experiences, build on your strengths, and develop practical strategies that fit your needs. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, struggling with relationships, processing a difficult experience, or simply feeling stuck, we can work together toward meaningful change in a way that feels achievable, empowering, and true to you.
My Approach
I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). I have a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of Ottawa.
I provide psychotherapy to children, youth, adults, couples, and families, and have supported individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and other challenges that may impact emotional well-being.
Whatever brings you in to therapy, I strive to create a warm and welcoming space where each person feels comfortable being themselves, respected, understood, and empowered.
My framework is collaborative and trauma-informed, grounded in the belief that therapy is most effective when it is tailored to each person’s unique needs and experiences. I believe meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship, and I work alongside people to build on their strengths and work toward goals that feel meaningful and achievable.
I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS), Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I integrate these approaches based on individual needs, experiences, and goals.
I aim to meet each person where they are, helping them gain a greater understanding of themselves and their experiences, and develop practical tools to support their well-being.
Starting therapy can feel like a vulnerable step. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space while helping you move toward meaningful change.
I look forward to working with you and supporting you along the way.
