I believe that there is good in every person, and hope in every situation. I believe that relationships are the heart of our well-being and mental health concerns. I decided to create Building Bridges Psychotherapy to help people connect with what’s most important to them—family, partners, culture, community, and themselves.
I provide a calm, non-judgmental, and supportive space for my clients to explore deeper emotions and gain insight. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Hello! My name is Sierrah Hamilton and I am the Client Care Specialist with Building Bridges Psychotherapy. My main goal is to foster and maintain positive relationships with our clients and to ensure they are comfortable, satisfied and heard.
I, myself, am an aspiring psychotherapist. I am currently a third year psychology student studying at York University. I am passionate about mental health and recovery, with a special interest in individuals experiencing depression, anxiety and emotional trauma.
Outside of my work and studies, I really enjoy travel adventures, trying out new recipes in the kitchen, and hanging out with my kitten.
As a lifelong creative, I am honoured to steer the marketing ship here at Building Bridges Psychotherapy. With a background in psychology, photography, musical theatre, and podcasting, I bring a unique blend of strategic thinking and heartfelt passion for mental health advocacy.
Human connection and therapeutic healing are key themes that led me to start my podcast, Human to Human, back in 2020. I am incredibly excited to harness my skills of hosting, editing, and producing, to showcase the diverse range of therapists we have here at BB therapy. Stay tuned for spring of 2024 as our very own podcast, Mental Health Matchmaker will be launching!

Hello! My name is Patrick, and I am pleased to say I am part of the beautiful Building Bridges Psychotherapy team as an admin! I am currently studying at Brock University and planning to pursue post-graduate education in Counselling and Psychotherapy. My motivation for my future endeavours is planted by my intrigue in the connection between mental and spiritual health, which is why you might find me reading and studying these fields in my own time! I am also passionate about community service and sports (specifically soccer, basketball, and volleyball, but all sports are awesome!).
I firmly believe that I ought to treat others as I want to be treated, and I hope to apply the qualities that are implied by this belief to all the interactions in my life, including here in my role as an admin at Building Bridges Psychotherapy!

I hope to make a wonderful first impression on behalf of Building Bridges to all who seek out the support we all need and deserve! I look forward to assisting you and being that small (but necessary) step in your journey.
Hi there! My name is Veronica and I am a fifth-year Specialized Honours Psychology student studying at York University. As an aspiring Psychotherapist, I hope to work with and help romantic couples as I believe that an individual’s well-being and the quality of their interpersonal relationships are interconnected. As such, I am grateful to be part of such an amazing team here at Building Bridges Psychotherapy. Outside of school and clinical work, I enjoy painting, stargazing, singing (though not well), and all the desserts.
