I am a registered psychologist specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful change. I believe therapy works best when it feels safe, collaborative, and grounded in trust — you’re not just being treated; we’re working together.
I use a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approach, combined with DBT, Emotion-Focused, and mindfulness-based techniques, to create a plan that fits your unique needs.

As a neurodivergent racialized person and parent to two teenagers, I bring lived experience navigating identity, culture, work stress, burnout, infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, parenting, and relationships, to my work.
Whether it be through art-making, conversation, or moments of play, I view therapy as a collaborative process rooted in curiosity, compassion, and connection. Using lines, colours, and metaphors as a way to inform, ground, and be curious, art-making can offer new ways of understanding ourselves, make meaning, and gently explore experiences that feel difficult to put into words. I feel strongly about creating a safe and welcoming space where persons of all ages feel supported to slow down, reflect, play, and reconnect with themselves at their own pace.

I’m Ionatan Stan, a Registered Psychotherapist and holistic counselor. I work with individuals, couples, and children (8+) who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or painful relationship dynamics. Many of the people I support have experienced emotional neglect, abuse, or deep confusion about their place in the world.
I offer a calm, respectful space where nothing needs to be hidden. Together, we take the time to understand what’s really happening beneath the surface — not to fix it quickly, but to relate to it honestly.

I love to support teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, such as moving, career or education changes or becoming a parent.
Depression and anxiety can leave us feeling overwhelmed, discouraged and unable to face many aspects of our lives. Maybe you’ve been avoiding social situations and that’s leaving you feeling isolated from family or friends. Or you’re struggling with day to day tasks at work or at home. It may feel like it’s always been this way, but now you’re starting to believe that it doesn’t have to stay this way. You’re ready for change. You’re ready for more calm, more resilience, and increased confidence. Most of all, you’re ready to enjoy life, make meaningful connections in your relationships, and feel hopeful and excited about the future.

Starting therapy is a courageous step. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, or self-doubt, you deserve a space where you feel genuinely heard and supported. I provide trauma-informed, culturally responsive therapy for individuals and couples seeking meaningful, lasting change. Many of the individuals I work with feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them — whether that’s people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, difficulty setting boundaries, or struggling with inner criticism.

My personal “therapist toolbox” includes a spectrum of ancient & contemporary healing methodologies such as CBT, DBT & narrative therapy, as well as a few feathered and furry farm friends who are known to assist with challenges such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting, separation & divorce, sexual trauma & disorders, and addictions.
Can you imagine if therapy took place while toasting a marshmallow over a cozy wood stove, hiking through the forest, sunbathing in a field of wildflowers, chilling with some chickens, or simply from the comfort of your living room? I believe that therapy has a real image problem that could be improved by embracing a healing realm which includes mother nature, spirituality, play and genuine human connection. If you are considering therapy for you or someone you care about, but the thought of sitting in a a basic office turns you off, then let's connect where you're at, or where I'm at: on 25 aces in Hamilton's wild west Flamborough!

When it comes to being vulnerable, I know it can be one of the scariest things to do, so my goal is to help foster an environment and trust to help with the process. I work with all individuals; children (ages 7+), teens and adults. Some disorders I help treat include; Anxiety, Depression, Self-Harm, Complex Trauma, ADHD, OCD, and more. My approach to therapy is to find the balance between processing information together and providing my clients with working strategies to help them to continue to meet their goals.

I also support parents navigating challenging parenting issues.
Feelings like anxiety or anger don't exist purely as cognitive reactions; instead, your whole body responds which can create a persistent sense of feeling unsafe or on edge. With more than 15 years in social work and 10 years as a yoga and mindfulness instructor, I offer a holistic approach to mental health care that is grounded in processing stress and anxiety through the body to support nervous system regulation.
