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.
Meet Sharon, Sunshine, Jason and Madeline. Each brings their own specialization and unique way of working with their clients. They all have a master’s degree or higher and are licensed to practice in Ontario. Nestled within historic Sandwich Town, each clinician has their own private office that provides a safe and comfortable place for clients of all ages, gender identifications, and cultural backgrounds. Virtual, video, and phone sessions are available as well.
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.

Sunshine Forcier
Individual Adult Therapist

Through my education, my professional experience, and my commitment to helping others, my career is to assist people along their path of healing and self-discovery. I am committed to helping the people I work with find the courage to change the direction of their lives. A significant part of this is to embrace assertive self-care. I provide therapy to reduce anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and life challenges and transitions. My work includes a dedicated approach to resolving addiction and alcohol dependence.
Individuals are unique and flourish when personalized therapy is offered to them. I use a mindfulness
approach with talk therapy, stress reduction techniques, relaxation, and emotional intelligence. This
involves a variety of counselling techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical
Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Narrative Therapy. My

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.
