Meet Our Team
Hana Mancuso, M.A.,
Co-Founder, Affinity Psychology Group
My private practice encompasses counselling and the comprehensive assessment of children, adolescents, and adults. For over two decades, I have been witnessing clients overcoming challenges and thriving, enhancing their quality of life, and fostering a balanced sense of well-being. More generally, I work collaboratively with clients, bringing curiosity to understand and address a broad range of issues, helping each toward lasting positive change. My integrative approach adapts interventions to the unique obstacles each client faces along their counselling journey. I am passionate to help individuals understand their abilities, learning, and behaviour and offer a range of assessments, along with recommendations to support their realizing of full potential. I draw from valuable experience gained in diverse settings, professional development, and collaboration with colleagues to provide responsible support to my clients.
Amy Shaw, M.A.,
When I entered the field of Psychology nearly 20 years ago, I was both surprised and delighted in the path that unfolded before me. Gaining experience in a variety of settings, I developed skills in assessment, counselling and working with children with disabilities. Since then, I found a way to weave my interests and skills into an eclectic and unique practice. I now devote care toward children, parents, couples and families struggling with the most complicated life situations. Through the use of assessment, diagnosis, counselling and training workshops, I have the pleasure of seeing growth and change in each of my clients. You have the potential, let me help you discover the possibilities. Growth is in your hands.
Dr. Yvonne Hindes, Ph.D.,
Stephanie Poole, M.Ed.,
I am passionate about the field of child psychology, focusing specifically on the well-being of the children and families with whom I work. My expertise in early intervention and child development is rooted in years of collaborative clinical practice within various agencies, school boards, and private practice settings. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I tailor interventions to address the distinct needs of each child and family, fostering opportunities for growth and skill-building. I am committed to supporting the resilience of early learners, including those with diverse needs (e.g., high behavioural, sensory, and communication support needs, etc.) While tackling immediate and often complex concerns, my goal is to not only provide solutions but also establish a solid foundation for the long-term success of the children and families I support.
Clemence Deblire, M.A.,
With over a decade of experience working with diverse clients, I have witnessed the incredible resilience and potential for growth in people. My professional journey has encompassed supporting clients within the mental health and social services fields, including secure facility settings. This experience cultivated my specialization in grief and trauma, while deepening my understanding of the unique challenges faced by first responders and helping professionals. I create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients explore their inner world, including the most painful experiences, to uncover insights and make meaningful changes in their lives. My work is integrative, combining evidence-based approaches that meet the unique needs and values of my clients to help them achieve their goals. As a Master-level Accelerated Resolution Therapist and a certified Grief Recovery Method specialist, I am committed to guiding each client through life’s complexities while helping them find a path to healing
Rachel Bradley, M.A., CCC.,
As a Registered Provisional Psychologist, I am deeply committed to empowering individuals and couples to navigate life’s challenges with clarity, resilience, and mutual understanding. Above all, my goal is to accompany clients on their journey toward wholeness and well-being with warmth, empathy, and a touch of humour. I emphasize honesty and genuine collaboration in my work, while creating a therapeutic environment that empowers clients to embrace healthy change. With a focus on relational dynamics and emotional well-being, I support clients to build the skills and insights they need for long-term success. I also conduct comprehensive assessments, applying a holistic lens to evaluate each client’s unique strengths and areas for development.
