Vennassa Roper-Cunningham


Co-Founder & Registered Psychotherapist

MA, RP, CTP


Hello and welcome! I am Vennassa, a Registered psychotherapist based in the Greater Toronto Area and a Licensed Professional Counselor in the United States. As a Registered Psychotherapist, I aim to extend compassion and empathy to everyone so that they feel supported, listened to and cared for. In therapy, I work with racialized individuals, immigrants, and people living with depression, anxiety, and life-changing events of abuse, death, family separation, and other adverse experiences. 

As an immigrant and a black woman, I embraced my intersectionality and lived experiences which positively influence my therapeutic techniques. I believe that mental health can only be understood with a holistic approach considering the biopsychosocial factors that affect us.

I support living a full and meaningful life; therefore, when I am out of the office, I enjoy spending time in nature with my family and friends and travelling and learning about new cultures. I embrace the mantra that we can break through fear and live audaciously.

My Expertise:

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
  • Behavioural Activation
  • Motivational Interviewing
  • Trauma-Focused cognitive behavioural therapy,
  • Attachment-focused and family systems theory
  • Elements of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
  • Psycho-education strategies
