Samuel Gasilan Registered Psychotherapist
Samuel is a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapist of Ontario. He was conferred two degrees: a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at York University and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University.
Samuel is a Certified Trauma-Informed Therapist who emphasizes helping clients explore and understand how traumatic experiences lead to the development of adaptive responses that help them cope and survive through difficulties in life but may no longer be adaptive in tackling their day-to-day challenges in the present moment. Samuel also assists clients with a better understanding of how previous adverse experiences contribute to the development of issues related to anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationships, emotion regulation, trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Samuel prioritizes a pluralistic approach. He has an extensive background in the application of Applied Behavioural Analysis to assist individuals of any age with Autism Spectrum Disorder in acquiring foundational social and emotion regulation skills through the modality of play therapy. Moreover, he specializes in and has completed certification in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and integrates techniques from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Solution Focus Brief Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing Therapy. Lastly, he incorporates psychoeducation based on the Neuroscience behind the brain’s neuroplasticity and neurocircuitry to equip clients with knowledge that helps them understand why they think, feel, and behave as they do.
Samuel recognizes the uniqueness of each client he works with and, as such, emphasizes creating an individualized treatment plan to address the clients goals. He aims to ensure the clients are physically, emotionally, and psychologically stabilized through the provision of a safe, non-judgmental, empathetic, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive therapeutic space that sets up both him and his clients for success. He works with children (ages 4+), adolescents, adults (ages 18 - 64) and older adults (65+).
Sam is fluent in English and Tagalog.

Karla (She/Her) is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). She holds a Master of Arts in Counselling and Psychology from Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota, and has five years of experience providing psychotherapy services.
She brings a warm, compassionate, and judgment-free style to the therapeutic space. Karla works with teens (14+) and adults navigating many different challenges: overwhelming emotions, grief, big life transitions, difficult relationship patterns, identity exploration, or simply feeling stuck and not knowing why. If your teenager is struggling with school, friendships, or things they are not ready to talk about with their parents yet, this is a safe place for them too.
Karla takes an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Somatic Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. She believes that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all experience, and she is passionate about working alongside each client to build a therapeutic relationship that genuinely supports them and their goals. She is drawn to work that is both compassionate and honest because balancing warmth with honesty, and care with accountability, is what she believes helps people move forward in their relationship with themselves, the people around them, and their communities.
Karla practices from a holistic, person-centred framework. She is committed to an anti-oppression, anti-racism, and LGBTQ+ affirming approach, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because it is core to who she is. She has extensive experience working from a culturally sensitive lens, and has worked with people across Canada, the USA, and Nepal.
Karla works with teens and adults. She is fluent in English and Spanish.
