Mathai Valliyil, MSW, RSW | Social Worker, Psychotherapist

With over 30+ years of experience, Mathai is a Registered Social Worker (RSW) and a dedicated psychotherapist committed to providing professional mental health services for individuals and groups. Specializing in a wide range of mental health challenges, including anger management, anxiety, depression, psychosis, emotion dysregulation, and addiction, Mathai creates a high-trust environment focused on healing and growth.


At the heart of Mathai’s practice is a person-centred approach. He believes that every individual possesses the innate strength to change but often requires a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic space to unlock that potential. By placing your unique needs, cultural preferences, and personal priorities at the centre of the therapeutic process, Mathai ensures that therapy is never 'one-size-fits-all.' He provides a nurturing environment where you can safely explore your thoughts, feelings, and past experiences, guiding you to find the answers that lie within.


Certified in evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), Mathai integrates specialized techniques like a Trauma-Informed approach, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing to help you achieve lasting change.

Jolly Thomas, MSW, RSW | Social Worker, Psychotherapist

  

Jolly Thomas, MSW, RSW, is a Registered Social Worker and psychotherapist who brings over two decades of experience supporting individuals living with complex mental health needs. 


Jolly is known for creating a calm, supportive, and respectful therapeutic space where clients feel heard without judgment. She understands that people come to therapy carrying different stories, struggles, and strengths, and she works thoughtfully to ensure care feels personalized rather than prescriptive. Her approach is rooted in empathy, trust, and genuine human connection, helping clients feel safe enough to explore difficult emotions, patterns, and life experiences at their own pace.


Her practice draws from a range of evidence-based approaches, including CBT, DBT-informed strategies, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed care. She supports clients experiencing anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, emotional dysregulation, and other mental health concerns. Jolly’s goal is to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and move toward meaningful, sustainable change in their everyday lives.
