Pleased to introduce our new therapist - Maria Clinton

Picture

Maria Clinton is a Registered Counselling Therapist (Candidate) who brings warmth, adaptability, and a deep passion for psychology to her therapeutic work. With a background in sociology and psychology, Maria approaches each client with a strong understanding of how individual experiences are shaped by broader social, cultural, and systemic influences. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from the University of Prince Edward Island and a Master’s in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. Her academic and clinical training emphasized trauma-informed practices, client-centred care, and the importance of cultural sensitivity in therapy.

Maria works with individuals who are ready to embrace change - whether they are seeking a healthier lifestyle, a more compassionate relationship with themselves, or effective strategies to support their mental health. Her therapeutic approach is evidence-based, drawing from modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Person-Centred Therapy and mindfulness practices. Maria empowers clients to navigate their unique journeys with resilience and clarity, and is dedicated to providing a therapeutic space that is inclusive, affirming, and safe for all identities.

​Maria feels deeply aligned with her work as a therapist and values the meaningful connection between her personal and professional life. She believes that self-awareness and reflection are essential foundations for personal growth and lasting change. A former university-level hockey player, Maria continues to enjoy both playing and watching the sport. She also dreams of one day competing on the TV show ‘Survivor’ and cherishes every opportunity to visit her family in Prince Edward Island.

Maria is currently accepting new clients. She can be reached by email at [email protected] or by the office phone at 902-758-3967.

Introducing our newest ATEN Therapist Team member

Picture
​Kartik Saini (he/him) - MACP, RCT-C, CCC - Registered Counselling Therapist-Candidate
[email protected]

Kartik Saini (he/him) is a Registered Counselling Therapist Candidate (RCT-C) and Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC). As a queer-identified immigrant and person of color, Kartik brings a deeply empathetic, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed approach to therapy, rooted in both his professional training and lived experience.

Kartik holds a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and has cultivated a strong foundation in client-centered, evidence-based practices. His therapeutic work is informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), the Relational Life Therapy for couples therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions, allowing him to tailor support to the unique needs of each client.

With a special focus on trauma, PTSD, grief, anxiety, depression, and relational health, Kartik works with individuals and couples—including those in monogamous and consensually non-monogamous relationships. He is particularly passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals, immigrants, and those navigating challenges related to sex, intimacy, and sexuality. His relational work emphasizes connection, communication, and repair of emotional wounds.

Since immigrating to Canada in 2016, Kartik has worked extensively in community mental health, LGBTQIA+ advocacy, and refugee resettlement. These experiences have given him a nuanced understanding of the systemic barriers many clients face and deepened his commitment to accessible, inclusive, and intersectional care.

​He remains committed to lifelong learning and to offering compassionate, collaborative support that centers the client’s inner wisdom and capacity for healing.

Kartik believes that healing happens in the context of relationships and strives to foster a warm, affirming space where individuals and couples can feel safe, seen, and empowered to move toward their goals.
