Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine

​

Cassia Rocha D.O.

I obtained my BSc (Hons) in Osteopathy in 2004 in England, at the European School of Osteopathy. As part of my continuing education, I carried on studying traditional Osteopathy with the founder of the Biodynamic approach in the states. Biodynamic is a rare form of Osteopathy where Science and Art are in perfect integration to create deep access to the body's innate intelligence using only very gentle, light touch. I treat all conditions, from pains and aches to internal organs and emotional problems such as anxiety and depression. As a result, all kinds of patients, from newborn babies to the elderly can benefit from the treatment.

    Licensed Physiotherapist, Certified Athletic Therapist​

    ​

    Darren Noriel

    I’m a physiotherapist and athletic therapist with over 10 years of experience helping people recover, move better, and perform at their best. My career has allowed me to work in both high-performance sports and clinical healthcare settings. I’ve had the opportunity to support athletes at the professional and collegiate levels with teams like the Ottawa Redblacks, York Lions, and TMU Bold, while also gaining valuable clinical experience in outpatient clinics and hospital environments. There, I’ve worked with a wide range of conditions—from musculoskeletal injuries and post-surgery rehab, to strokes and neurological conditions like multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease. My approach to care is shaped by the variety of settings I’ve worked in, as well as my own background as a lifelong athlete. I’ve competed in baseball, volleyball, basketball, dragonboat, and boxing, which gives me a deep understanding of the physical and mental demands that come with staying active. Whether you’re managing a new injury, recovering from a major health event, or working toward a performance goal, I aim to bring a well-rounded, practical, and personalized approach to every session.

    Monica Lau, Psycotherapist.png

    Registered Psychotherapist (RP)

    ​

    Monica Lau

    Monica Lau is a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) whose practice centres on complex relational and intergenerational trauma — often surfaced by loss, or even the threat of it. She has a particular interest in supporting caregivers who are carrying the weight of caring for others while holding their own history. Her approach is somatic and holistic, working with the body as much as the mind, with psychedelic harm reduction and integration for clients exploring that path. Before psychotherapy, Monica spent years in healthcare, palliative care, and hospice — experience that shaped her comfort sitting with people through the hardest, most disorienting parts of life. She works with individuals navigating grief, family history, cultural identity, and caregiver burnout, both virtually and in person.

    I’m a registered psychotherapist offering in-person therapy in Toronto, as well as online sessions for clients across Ontario. I work with children ages 10+, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, depression, trauma, burnout, relationship-related challenges, ADHD, and more. My work is rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based approaches. Together, we can explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build tools to manage distress, and develop greater self-compassion and clarity around what truly matters to you.

      ​

      Daphne Anastassiadis QRP, SW

      It can be easy to know the changes you’d like to make in your life, but so tricky to know how to make them. It can seem really overwhelming, especially trying to figure it out on your own. Therapy is a collaborative journey where we work together to resolve conflicts and achieve personal goals. What I bring to your process is a compassionate, objective perspective to help shine the light on old patterns that may be holding you back from a more enriching version of your everyday self. I bring an integrative approach to mental wellness that combines various therapeutic modalities to meet your unique needs. Bringing the practice of mindfulness and meditation, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and Compassionate Inquiry, my focus is to create a safe, non judgemental space to allow you to connect to your authentic self.
