Sandra Chapman, RCC, CCC, B.A. LL.B., Masters of Psychotherapy and Spirituality, Grief Support Certification

Sandra Chapman is a registered clinical counsellor known for her integrative, compassionate, and results-oriented approach to healing. Drawing on her extensive life experiences, including her work as a family law lawyer and mediator, clinical psychotherapy training, and creative therapeutic tools, Sandra helps adults move through life’s most challenging experiences with clarity, strength, and renewed purpose.

With a background as a lawyer and mediator, Sandra brings an uncommon level of insight into the emotional complexity of high-stress life events. Her legal career sharpened her ability to guide people through uncertainty, while her advanced clinical training allows her to support lasting personal transformation—emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually.

Sandra offers traditional talk therapy, art therapy, and accelerated resolution therapy (ART) creating a supportive space where clients can explore grief, trauma, anxiety, and emotional pain at their own pace. Her practice is rooted in the belief that true healing happens when we turn inward, listen deeply, and begin to create a life that is uniquely meaningful to us.

Sandra is deeply attuned to the silent burdens people carry: the grief we’re told to move on from, the trauma we struggle to name, the exhaustion of constantly feeling “not enough.” Her therapeutic work invites clients to lay those burdens down—and begin to live in alignment with their values, truth, and wholeness.

Sandra’s Philosophy

Sandra believes that every person holds the innate capacity to heal, grow, and live a deeply fulfilling life. Her role is to walk beside her clients—with empathy, clarity, and unwavering respect—as they reconnect with their strength, discover new perspectives, and move toward a life of their own conscious design.

Whether through words, creative arts practices, or accelerated resolution therapy, Sandra offers a path forward—one that honours where you’ve been and helps illuminate where you’re going.

Core Areas of Practice • Major Life Transitions (retirement, health issues, career changes, divorce, aging, relocation)

• Grief and Loss (including death, pet loss, estrangement, and ambiguous loss)

• Trauma Recovery (including non-verbal processing through Accelerated Resolution Therapy)

• Trauma Recovery (including non-verbal processing through art therapy using creative practices)

• Self Esteem Issues, Stress & Difficulty Coping

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Internal Family Systems (IFS)

• Narrative Therapy

• Person-Centred and Existential Therapy

• Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

• Art Therapy for trauma, grief, and self-expression

In art therapy sessions, Sandra uses creative tools such as painting, drawing, collage, clay, poetry, and photography. These non-verbal methods can promote emotional insight, reduce internal conflict, and help clients safely process experiences that may be too painful or complex to express in words.

Ava Razavi, MACP, RCC, BA, Clinical Supervisor (Provisional)

I was drawn to the field of psychology early on in my studies and had a particular passion for childhood developmental stages. I therefore pursued a career whereby I could combine my expertise with my passion and worked as a counsellor for more than a decade with children and families who have been through trauma of various kinds. My experience has taught me the importance of empathy and cultural awareness in helping my clients achieve strength and clarity in their lives.

On a personal level, I can tell you that I too have experienced loss and grief. I too understand the pain associated with a miscarriage, and the anxiety associated with trying again. I too have been through postpartum depression, and the pressure it puts on one’s relationships. I too have experienced loss of loved ones, and the uncertainty that follows. I too have been the subject of discrimination and everyday issues a mom and a woman is expected to face and be triumphant. I have started this business to share with you the tools and skills I have successfully utilized on a professional and a personal level to overcome whatever challenge you are facing in your journey through this life.

To quote the great Persian poet Rumi, I am confident that “the wound is the place the Light enters you”.
