Therapists
A Healing Relationship
At Clear Path Counselling Windsor you will find therapists who share a belief that the healing power of therapy lies in the relationship of trust formed between you and your therapist – a relationship in which hope is rekindled, strengths realized and the courage to look inward to discover the greatest gifts of the Self.
Sharon Sleiman
Individual Adult and Relational Therapist
My passion is working with individuals who initially seek emotional support and therapy for depression/anxiety, however, as we further explore we discover the initial injuries, feelings of inadequacies and abandonment issues. Saturated in negative thoughts, struggling with emotions and unable to share with their loved ones their inner feelings of despair, keeping them stuck and unable to make changes. I am skilled in Psychodynamic and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Solution Focus Brief Therapy as well, I am a Certified Sex Therapist. I am an experienced listener, skilled at thought-provoking questions and not easily shocked and I understand the courage it takes for you to show up and share those dark moments.
In couples therapy we will explore all aspects of intimacy, the way you communicate, and life stresses including family, finances and employment. Close to a decade of working in the field of sexuality, coming from a non judgment sex-positive lens has provided me with credible skills and experience to treat sexual dysfunction, sexual addictions and deviancy. I have found a significant increase with people expressing their sexual interest through online, electronic and digital media that encourage disconnect and inhibit human relatedness. The easy access to the internet, the anonymity of engaging in cybersex has become problematic and resulting in an escalation of pornography use and sexual addictions.
In addition to holding a Master’s in Social Work and being a Registered Social Worker in the province of Ontario …
- I am a Registered Social Worker and a member in good standing with both the Ontario Association of Social Workers and the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers, and carry full liability insurance.
- I am a Certified Sex Therapist with the Association of Sex Therapy in Ontario (ASTO, formerly BESTCO).
- I am an associate member of the Canadian Marriage & Family Therapy.
- I am also a Clinical Member with the Association of Treatment for Sexual Abusers.

Sunshine Forcier
Individual Adult Therapist
Hi, I’m Sunshine — a dedicated therapist offering counselling for adults seeking support, clarity, and healing. My work is rooted in compassion, authenticity, and a deep belief in the power of personal transformation. Through my education, professional experience, and ongoing commitment to growth, I’ve built a practice that helps individuals reconnect with themselves and move forward with confidence.
I support clients who are navigating emotional challenges such as anxiety, stress, and low mood, as well as those facing relationship concerns, communication struggles, and major life transitions. Whether you’re exploring your identity, working through a separation, or simply feeling stuck, I offer a space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported. Many of the individuals I work with are also seeking to build self-esteem, set healthy boundaries, and cultivate emotional resilience.
My approach is personalized and flexible, because I believe therapy should meet you where you are. I integrate mindfulness-based practices with talk therapy, emotional intelligence, and stress-reduction techniques.
Together, we’ll create a space that feels safe, relaxed, and empowering — where your emotions are validated, your experiences are honored, and your goals are supported. I believe healing begins with assertive self-care and the courage to explore new possibilities.
If you’re ready to begin your journey of healing and self-discovery, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Madeline Sonik
Jungian Analyst Diploma Candidate
(offering virtual counselling for adults)
“Out of difficulties grow miracles.”
~Jean de La Bruyère~
As a Jungian practitioner, I use a depth-psychology modality in therapeutic practice.
This approach facilitates connections between one’s everyday awareness and the
larger, vaster terrain of the unconscious. This shadowy terrain contains, among other
things, parts of the personality which have been disowned, repressed, or cut away.
Such aspects can be retrieved and experienced as a renewal of vital life force as we
evolve towards increasing wholeness.
When we allow ourselves to be informed by the unconscious, we gain trust in our life
process. Pain and problems that once felt overwhelming and insurmountable can
become newly observed, appearing as meaningful milestones in our ongoing
development. New creative pathways open, which not only enrich our lives and assist in
building resilience but also allow for the healing of past wounds and provide direction for
the future.
Dreams, as well as products of the imagination, such as stories and paintings speak in
the language of symbols. When understood, this language can open a window to the
unconscious, and allow us the fruits of its wisdom.
Madeline Sonik is a Jungian Analyst diploma candidate in Switzerland, a former
university instructor, and an author.

Jason McKinlay
Individual Adult Therapist
As you begin your quest to find a therapist, I believe the key is finding a comfortable space and a therapist with whom you feel safe to explore some of the most painful and challenging aspects in your life. I believe that together we will be able to identify your needs and find effective ways to meet your challenges. Allowing yourself to explore and grow is an essential ingredient in personal empowerment and healing.
My extensive professional history has allowed me to work directly with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, bereavement, addiction, anger and other issues that may be affecting your day-to-day life. By using a flexible approach to therapy and utilizing modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy and Emotion Focused Therapy, I am able to tailor your therapy to what is most effective for you. With the right type of therapy for you delivered in a comforting, welcoming environment, let me guide you to make changes within yourself (and reach your goals).

Denise Turner
Hi, I’m Denise Turner, Holistic Grief Coach and Therapeutic Art Practitioner.
I am truly so sorry for your loss. Loss is never easy—and I see the strength it takes to show up here. Grief has a way of turning life upside down. It can leave you feeling like a stranger to yourself, unsure of how to keep going. If you’re feeling lost, heavy, or just deeply tired from carrying it all, please know you’re not alone.
This work is deeply personal to me. My approach is shaped not only by professional training, but also by my own lived experience with grief. I understand the disorientation and silence that loss can bring, and I believe in the healing power of being truly witnessed.
Your grief is unique, and so is your path through it. In a safe, trauma-informed space, we’ll explore what’s present for you and draw on your own inner wisdom as we move at a pace that feels right for you. Through this holistic approach I help adults navigate identity loss and emotional overwhelm after a loss.
I’m here to help you make space for your grief and gently reconnect with who you are now—not by leaving love behind, but by learning to live with love and loss side by side.
Through a trauma-aware, somatic coaching approach, I guide clients to rebuild self-trust, reconnect with who they are now, and move forward with clarity and confidence. Our work will honour your whole self—mind, body, and spirit.
There’s no rush. No fixing. Just room to breathe, feel, and begin again—when you’re ready. My practice is grounded in professional training and a trauma-sensitive, client-led approach to grief support. My approach integrates somatic awareness, creative expression, and grief education to support each client’s unique healing process.
I have completed academic studies and certifications in:
- Thanatology Certificate (the study of Death, Dying & Bereavement) – Durham College
- Therapeutic Art Practitioner – Canadian International Institute of Art Therapy
- Grief Educator & Peer-to-Peer Bereavement Support Facilitator – David Kessler
- Heartwork Journaling Certification
- Neurographica Specialist
- Creatively Fit Coach
I am a graduate of the Holistic Grief Coach Certification (Good Grief UK) accredited by the ACCPH (Accredited Counsellors, Coaches, Psychotherapist & Hypnotherapists) & IPHM (International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine).
If this speaks to your heart, I invite you to reach out. Let’s take the first gentle step together.

Emily D’Alimonte
Clinical Therapist
I believe we all carry wisdom within us—and with the right support, we can reconnect to it and live more fully. At Wellness with Emily, I provide tailored tools, education, and compassionate guidance to help you navigate life’s challenges. Being a therapist is an honour I hold with deep care. I approach this work with warmth, curiosity, and a strong respect for your lived experience. I’m committed to lifelong education and growth, so I can continue to show up for my clients in meaningful ways.
I am a registered Social Worker with twelve years of experience. My work is rooted in a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive framework. I’m classically trained in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)—both effective approaches, though they may not fully address the deeper impacts of trauma for some.
To support those who haven’t connected with talk therapy alone, I have expanded my training to include “bottom up” methods like Somatic Experiencing, guided by Polyvagal Theory. These body-based approaches help regulate the nervous system and support deep trauma healing. I’m currently working toward my Somatic Experiencing Practitioner designation.
