Psychotherapy Network

I am a Jamaican Canadian Registered Psychotherapist. I have a plethora of experience working with diverse communities, and individuals who have experienced sex trafficking. I am empathetic, approachable, and caring. I have a passion to see clients experience healing, health and wholeness, as they move closer towards achieving their short and long-term goals.

I believe that each client possesses a deep-rooted resilience within themselves, that can sometimes be masked by our hardships, pain, disappointments and traumatic experiences, that can even occur epigenetically (through our family history/ experiences).

I find great joy, when clients have those “aha” moments in therapy. When they begin to recognize the resilience from deep within themselves, and when they can look back after a few sessions, and notice the various levels of change within their therapeutic experience.

I am a therapist who will gently challenge clients at times, validate their feelings, while respecting their uniqueness as a person. The therapeutic relationship is incredibly important and is foundational to successful therapy. My goal is to take time to understand each client, their perspective, and explore which evidence-based modality would be a good fit for them.

I have a certificate in trauma-informed CBT, CA-CBT, Levels 1 & 2 in EMDR, Training in EFT, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP II), Prepare-Enrich, and have utilized other modalities such as Bowenian Family Systems Therapy, Existential Therapy, and DBT in an integrative way. I have also worked with survivors of sex trafficking for over a decade.

My journey into psychotherapy is deeply rooted in my personal experiences and passion for helping others. At the tender age of six, I witnessed the horrors of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, an event that took my parents' lives, the majority of my family members and left me and my siblings to navigate life amidst profound trauma and loss. Growing up in orphanages and foster homes, I faced challenges that far exceeded typical childhood experiences. Despite these adversities, I found hope, resilience, and purpose.

Migrating to Canada from Rwanda in 2010 marked a turning point in my life. My journey's struggles and triumphs have shaped my commitment to mental health advocacy and my desire to support others through their own healing processes.

I believe in the power of transformation, and the human spirit's ability to overcome even the most challenging circumstances.

Approach to Therapy

As a therapist fluent in French and English, my therapy approach is trauma-informed and person-centered. I offer culturally sensitive therapy tailored to diverse clients, BIPOC communities and beyond.

Drawing from a rich background in Clinical Counselling, my therapy is tailored to meet individual needs. It blends psychoeducation on brain health with evidence-based approaches and trauma-focused therapies. I offer a supportive space to my clients so that they can explore their life’s challenges and improve cognitive functioning.

I confidently utilize an integrative psychotherapy approach to support my clients and provide comprehensive care tailored to their specific needs. My expertise also allows me to serve clients with or without a faith-based focus. I look forward to journeying with you through your life's challenges with empathy and compassion.

I am a South Asian woman with lived experience as an economic immigrant, having navigated life across three culturally distinct countries and five cities. This journey has given me a unique perspective on the challenges and benefits of such transitions and a deep appreciation of the ways that race, culture, and religion intersect and influence our lives and contribute to the struggles we face. Growing up in a place with limited mental health awareness and resources, I have developed a profound commitment to making well-being central to every community. Coming from a large family and being surrounded by children of all ages has naturally fostered my ability to connect with kids at various developmental stages.

Approach to therapy

With seven years of experience, I specialize in working with children, teens, young adults, parents, and families; helping them find the light within them. I strive to collaboratively and compassionately help my clients explore, discover, and embrace insight, resilience, and strengths they already possess to overcome life’s challenges, while healing and growing.

I believe clients are the experts in themselves and take a non-expert, and non-judgmental stance to understand my clients’ lived experiences. I bring my individuality to my therapeutic work, and often use humor, silliness, fun and the power of ‘presence’ in the therapy room, allowing clients to feel safe and welcome to embrace their own true selves. I firmly believe that no one approach suits all clients and continuously work toward evolving techniques and tools to meet clients ‘where they are at’. I use a combination of Play Therapy, Sandplay Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Person-Centered Therapy. My work is informed by a neuroscience, attachment, and trauma lens and I believe a safe therapeutic relationship is the most important part of any healing journey. I am committed to providing culturally sensitive care and decolonizing mental health.

Hi, I’m Tingting. I support adults navigating trauma, self-esteem and relationship challenges, using a gentle and collaborative approach grounded in evidence-based practices like CBT, EMDR, hypnotherapy and person-centered therapy.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in finance for six years — but I found my true purpose in helping others heal and grow. My lived experience across mainland China, Canada, and Hong Kong gives me a deep understanding of cultural transitions, identity, and the complexities of belonging.

Clients often describe me as warm, trustworthy, and easy to talk to. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your emotions, shift unhelpful patterns, and reconnect with your worth. I am proud to offer LGBTQ+ affirming care, and I provide therapy in both Mandarin and English.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for change, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.

I'm a South Asian Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) passionate about supporting adults through anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, anger, and grief. My aim is to offer a warm, inclusive space that honours your lived experience and cultural background.

Earlier in my career, I worked in rehabilitation settings supporting individuals recovering from injuries and navigating complex life transitions. That experience deepened my understanding of how physical and emotional challenges intersect — and how important it is to feel truly heard during times of difficulty.

Today, I support clients looking to build self-awareness, develop coping skills, and reconnect with their inner strengths. I use a collaborative, evidence-based approach grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), while also drawing from DBT, Person-Centred Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) to meet you where you are.

Clients often describe me as calm, compassionate, and easy to talk to. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for meaningful change, and I’m here to support you with care and consistency.

I provide therapy in English and incorporate conversational Punjabi when appropriate, and bring cultural humility to every session — especially for clients navigating intergenerational trauma, migration, and systemic stress.

Wherever you are in your journey, I’m here to walk beside you with empathy and respect.

As a Filipino immigrant and woman of colour, I bring lived experience into my work. I understand how validating it can be to feel seen without having to explain who you are or why something matters. My approach is grounded in anti-oppressive, trauma-informed values, and shaped by collaboration, curiosity, and cultural humility.

With over six years of experience working with youth (12+) and adults, I integrate Art Therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Narrative Therapy, and person-centred care. I’ve supported clients in shelters, schools, and community organizations, including survivors of gender-based violence, postpartum challenges, systemic oppression, and those involved in sex work—by choice or coercion.

Clients often tell me they feel safe to show up fully—whether through words, images, or quiet reflection. I’m here to support you as you reconnect with your story, body, and voice.

I’m Kemelle Deeble, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. I help people build stronger relationships with others — and with themselves — by understanding emotional patterns, increasing self-awareness, and developing healthy coping strategies.

My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and humanistic. I integrate evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed care to tailor sessions to your unique needs. I work well with clients who feel stuck in cycles of people-pleasing, low self-esteem, difficulty setting boundaries, or relationship struggles.

My ideal client is someone who’s ready to dig deeper — whether they’re navigating family dynamics, struggling with confidence, or repeating old patterns in relationships. I also have experience supporting individuals with complex mental health needs, including self-harm, psychiatric histories, and diagnoses such as anxiety, BPD, ADHD, and depression.

Before psychotherapy, I worked across crisis intervention and residential care roles, including at Youthdale Treatment Centres and Eva’s Phoenix, supporting youth and adults in acute and transitional care. These experiences inform my trauma-sensitive, grounded approach.

I’m also a second-generation Jamaican, a wife, and a mom of two. These parts of my identity ground me in cultural humility and give me a personal understanding of the complexities of family, identity, and emotional resilience.

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe to show up as you are — not where you feel judged or rushed. My role is to help you slow down, explore your thoughts and feelings, and create change that aligns with your values.
