Consultation and Supervision Team

We provide consultation and supervision services, the below licensed psychotherapists and counsellors are here to help.

Amelia Perri, Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RN, BScN, MCAmelia Perri, RN, Psychotherapist – Clinic Director

I have naturally gravitated to leadership and consultation positions since I began my career in Health Care in the late 90’s.  After working as a Senior Director in Health Care, I longed to return to hands on clinical work so I started  my private practice in 2007.  Since then, I have grown Therapy Heals to 7 locations with over 40 therapists, and an administrative team.

I completed my Master of Counselling Psychology about 12 years ago and have had specific training in CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, Attachment Theory, Brainspotting, Trauma Theory, Emotion Focused Therapy for Couples, the Gottman Method for Couples, and more. These various therapy modalities form my eclectic approach in working with clients and supervisees/consultees. I provide supervision related to work with people age 12 and up, as well as for work with couples.

People that I have consulted with and supervised have described me as easy to talk to, and appreciate my style of sharing about my own experiences, while encouraging thought and self-reflection from the supervisee/consultee.

I will provide supportive and gentle feedback and ideas to support your growth as a therapist. When we first meet we will discuss your specific needs so that our approach can be tailored to suit you.  My non-judgemental stance will encourage you to share openly about your own practice, which will lend to continued learning and growth. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

Riva Mylabathula, Registered Social Worker, BA (Psych), MC (Psych), RSW

I completed my Masters in Counselling Psychology in Calgary, Alberta, and obtained a post graduate Certificate in Couples and Family Therapy Studies with Guelph University. Over 15 years in the field as a registered Social Worker, I have had the pleasure of working with diverse populations with a range of challenges and strengths.

Part of my clinical focus incorporates elements of Narrative Therapy; Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT); Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT); Emotionally Focused Therapy & Gottman Method Couples Therapy and trained in Trauma Informed Counselling and Grief and Bereavement. I had the pleasure of teaching at Humber College as a Seminar Instructor for students completing their practicum experience.

Throughout my years within the field of mental health I provided individual supervision and facilitated peer supervision groups. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, engaging and present focused and committed to working from a strengths-based empowerment perspective.

Samantha Cohen, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW

I have always believed that supervision is a process intended to facilitate growth in both the supervisee and the supervisor. Entering into a supervision agreement, is entering into a process of learning together. I have always valued clinical supervision in my practice, and strive to promote a process where vulnerability is embraced, and growth and development is supported. People who I have consulted with and supervised in the past have described me as approachable, easy to talk to, and appreciate my own practices of self-reflection and embracing vulnerability. 

I completed my Master of Social Work from the University of Toronto, and have worked in the field for about 10 years. I have specific training in CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, Attachment Theory, Neurbiology, Trauma Theory, the Gottman Method for Couples, Brain Injury, Child Development, Solution Focused Therapy, and more. I also regularly include Mindfulness practices in my therapeutic interventions. I have experiences working with children, youth, and their families, as well as individual therapy with adults, and Couples. I am comfortable in providing supervision for a wide array of populations and needs.

My style as a supervisor is not much different than the style I approach my therapeutic work with. I try to live and work by the values that guide my practice.  I promote a space where supervision can be used to explore what the supervisee finds most useful and relevant to their work. I will spend time working with the supervisee to determine what their hopes are for the process, and how I can be most supportive. Building a relationship where trust and the safety/security to explore challenges in a non-judgemental space is one of my first priorities.  I hope that you will find supervision a space to explore your individual experiences of practicing vulnerability, your strengths as a therapist and how those can be used in your clinical practices, as well as explore any stuck points in the work you are doing. 

Amelia Perri, Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RN, BScN, MCAgnes Kaufman, Registered Psychotherapist

My approach to supervision mirrors my overall approach to psychotherapy, which is to provide a supportive environment which enhances self-confidence and learning.   I have acted as a supervisor and educator in various fields and am excited to work with psychotherapists, providing supervision in a cohesive and motivating manner.   

I have completed my Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology – Psychotherapy and have had the opportunity to be mentored by a skilled and experienced psychotherapist, educator and spiritual leader.  With his guidance I have been fortunate to have worked with clients from ages 5 years to 85 years of age, people from various cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds and with complex psychological and emotional presentations.

I have also previously had the privilege of mentoring qualifying psychotherapists.  I have conducted group therapy for various concerns including substance abuse, erosion of boundaries, workplace stresses, organizational stresses and self-esteem concerns. 

I primarily use an integrative approach to therapy incorporating Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy.  I have a significant focus on couples counselling and rely heavily on the Gottman Method.  

I look forward to exploring any challenges and questions you may have in a non-judgmental, safe way, and working together toward enhancing your strengths and skills as a therapist.
