Psychotherapist (qualifying)

Hari Sundaralingam is a registered psychotherapist (qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. He has more than five years of experience in supporting the diverse population in various community backgrounds such as counseling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy based coaching, and group co-facilitation such as drama therapy and CBT group therapy.

His passion for therapy is rooted in his background when he came to Canada as a young refugee of war and learned about human psychology and neuroscience in his undergraduate. His personal, work and educational experience inspired him to provide a holistic approach to therapy based on biological, psychological, and environmental factors in human struggles. A quote that resonates in the therapy approach is, “Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.” You can overcome suffering by connecting with your unresolved emotions and experiences in a safe and positive space. You can also recognize your strengths and feel empowered and validated in a comfortable environment. He believes in the value of providing individualized support depending on the problems, treatment goals, the individual’s expectations, and motivation from a trauma-informed and empathic lens.
Hari loves to travel, cook, take road trips, do photography, and fishing in his free time. He also enjoys exploring various foods and cultures. The joy in finding inner peace is through the experiences of being with nature and individuals.

Psychotherapist (qualifying)

Hello! My name is Brooke and I am a registered psychotherapist (qualifying) here at Voice of Hope. I aspire to offer an empathetic, soothing, and non-judgmental presence where you can feel safe to share your story. I care deeply for others and am passionate about cultivating authentic therapeutic connections and genuine support so that you can grow, flourish, and achieve wellness in your life. I proudly identify as a queer woman who is passionate about creating a safe space where the unique needs of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community are supported. Honouring diversity is very important to me, so I’ve made it my mission to create a counselling environment where everyone’s unique intersectional identity is acknowledged and celebrated. 

Whether your goal is to explore your gender identity or sexuality, build self-confidence, overcome depression or anxiety, improve your relationships, navigate difficult life transitions, begin the process of healing, find purpose and meaning in life, or understand yourself on a deeper level, I am here to support you. I would love to help you discover your innate strengths, passions, and values and offer you tools that will help you navigate life and achieve your goals.  

My hope is to validate you in whatever capacity you show up to counselling. Whether you are ready to dive into deep self-exploration or are still hesitant about seeking counselling (or somewhere in between), I encourage you to take that step today. I would love nothing more than to meet you where you are and walk alongside you on your journey to wellness.
