Professional Philosophy

Therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, compassion, and evidence-based care. Clement Ampong’s goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly discuss your concerns and feel supported throughout the process. During our work together, we will identify clear goals, understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical tools to help you move forward with greater confidence and emotional well-being.

I am a psychologist who works with adults experiencing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, stress, adjustment difficulties, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I know that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I strive to create a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to be themselves and explore what they are going through. I work both in person and virtually and welcome clients from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness-Based therapies. I believe that therapy is not only about managing symptoms, but also about developing a deeper understanding of yourself, strengthening resilience, and creating a life that feels more meaningful and aligned with your values. I tailor therapy to each client’s unique experiences, needs, and goals, and aim to help clients feel supported, empowered, and understood throughout the process.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time in nature, reading, and appreciating the small moments of calm and balance that everyday life can offer.

I have experience working with healthcare professionals, college/university students, and individuals of South Asian backgrounds.

Hi! I’m Shanuja, a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I offer in-person and virtual therapy, with a particular focus on supporting young adults navigating anxiety, self-esteem, and interpersonal issues.

I understand that therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve spent most of your life prioritizing the needs of others, minimizing your emotions, or feeling caught between different values and expectations. My goal is to create a warm and non-judgmental space where clients can feel safe exploring their thoughts, emotions, and experiences at their own pace.

My approach to therapy is culturally sensitive, collaborative, and compassionate. I draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Narrative Therapy, to help clients better understand patterns in their emotions, relationships, and self-perception while also developing practical tools to navigate day-to-day challenges. Above all, I want clients to feel that they do not have to navigate their experiences alone.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy traveling, spending time in nature, exploring cozy cafés, and learning tennis.

Dr. Abolfazl Mohammadi, PhD., C. Psych. Clinical Psychologist

I’m a registered Clinical Psychologist with the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario (CPBAO), and I feel genuinely grateful to do this work. Supporting people in understanding themselves, navigating challenges, and creating meaningful change is not just my profession—it’s something I deeply value.

My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-based care. I primarily draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and newer generations of CBT, to help individuals better understand and respond to their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Therapy with me is not distant or overly clinical—it’s a supportive, respectful space where we work together to build insight, develop skills, and create meaningful change.

I believe that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours are shaped by a complex interaction of past experiences, social, and current life demands. Sometimes, patterns that once helped us cope can begin to limit us. In therapy, we work together to identify these patterns, understand their function, and gradually shift them in a way that aligns with your goals and values.

In addition to psychotherapy, I offer comprehensive psychological assessment services, including diagnostic clarification and adult ADHD assessments, to support treatment planning and a deeper understanding of your needs.

I offer both in-person and virtual services in English, Farsi, and Azari, and I value working with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds. Outside of my professional work, I enjoy traveling and learning new languages, which continues to shape my appreciation for different perspectives and ways of understanding the world.
