Karina McGregor

Registered Psychologist, Owner

Offering Neurostimulation

My name is Karina! I am a Registered Psychologist and the Owner of Choice Point Psychological Services. I am also a Certified EMDR therapist and an EMDRIA approved Consultant. I am passionate about mental health and I have been in the helping professions field for over 15 years. During this time, I have worked with many diverse adults, youth, and families in a variety of settings ranging from non-profit organizations, community health care, and private practice. The common theme I observed across all the professional roles I have had is that people are inherently resilient. I have had the pleasure of witnessing people from all walks of life persevering despite some of what seemed to be the most insurmountable conditions. I am constantly amazed by the strength of people and bearing witness to inner strength gives me life in this field! I can help you to overcome the pain of your past in a focused and manageable way. Together, we can make your mental health goals a reality.

​In my personal life, you can expect to see me in the stands at my sons’ hockey practices or going for long walks in my community with my husband, boys and loyal pup. I am a homebody at heart, but I like to try new things and have some laughs with my select few. I like to find the light side to things and sarcasm is my thing. I look forward to getting to know one another and I welcome a free virtual or phone consultation to see if I am right for your journey!

Dr. Pinar Caglayan

Registered Psychologist

Accepting New Clients

I am Pinar! I am a Registered Psychologist with a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. Over the past 15 years, I have worked in diverse settings including non-profit organizations, a university psychological clinic, and private practice.

My primary therapeutic approach is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and I also integrate other evidence-based models such as prolonged exposure therapy, motivational interviewing, compassionate inquiry and mindfulness-based techniques. I tailor each treatment plan to the unique needs of my clients, offering one-on-one therapy for adults and adolescents.

My graduate research focused on post-traumatic growth among motor-vehicle accident survivors, which deeply shaped my clinical perspective. This background informs my focus on not only addressing difficulties but also exploring strengths, resilience, and opportunities for growth. I believe that healing involves more than reducing symptoms—it also includes rediscovering personal values, cultivating inner resources, and building a stronger sense of self.

At the center of my work is the therapeutic relationship. I value building trust and creating a safe, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where clients feel understood and supported. I also provide therapy in both English and Turkish.

I’m Abbey. My background involves a lifelong interest in psychology and passion for mental health. I received my Master’s in Forensic Psychology and started my autonomous practice in 2020. I worked in corrections for 20 years in various positions including as a psychologist before moving into the world of private practice.

I truly believe that our body and minds are built to heal themselves however; our experiences, perceptions and habits can get in our way of a fuller, richer life. I have encountered times of turmoil, confusion and pain and know the impact that these, and other emotions and experiences have had on my life and relationships.

Through my ongoing journey, I have found evidence-based approaches that were of such great benefit, that I became certified in them so that I could bring awareness to and help others. What I have undergone and witnessed, is that you can feel whole again and I would be pleased to assist you in regaining yourself.

I work with individuals from diverse backgrounds who struggle with a variety of concerns and presenting issues. I utilize various therapeutic approaches in an effort to provide the most effective and efficient service to help my clients to reach their therapy goals.

I provide a client centred, trauma informed and non-judgemental approach when supporting individuals in their emotional recovery and reaching their full potential. I acknowledge that vulnerability is a big factor in therapy and therefore meet people where they are at with respect, compassion and empathy. It would be my pleasure to support you through your journey in feeling whole again.

Bilal Hasna

Registered Provisional Psychologist

Accepting New Clients

My name is Bilal! I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist offering my counselling services at Choice Point Psychology. I am also working towards EMDR training and consultation under the supervision of Karina McGregor, Owner of Choice Point and an EMDRIA-certified Consultant-in-Training. My niche practice area is teens and men’s mental health, specifically concerns surrounding stress, trauma, and burnout. I take my role very seriously and value ongoing professional development and feedback from my colleagues. I am dedicated to offering you the best experience and value from your sessions.

As a young adult male and father, I can relate to some of the societal pressures and challenges young people and men face today. I am incredibly passionate about working with young males ages 13 to 35+ who are navigating life transitions, societal or cultural pressures, general stress, student or career stress, burnout, depression, anxiety, and trauma. Mental health can sometimes present differently among men, and men can sometimes hesitate to reach out for support. Men are also good at concealing their struggles. I am passionate about helping men to get accurately diagnosed and supported. I am confident we can get you through this current stage of your life and help you build resilience for your future.

Despite society promoting that men should be more open about their mental health, I know men aren’t always met with acceptance in all circles or contexts of their lives. The idea that men should be stoic, independent, and provide for their families still prevails today, and it can be isolating, especially if this doesn’t align with who you are or want to be. I have found effective strategies to navigate these challenges as well as combat anxiety, depression, burnout, and more. I look forward to learning about your unique circumstances and discussing how we can get you back to living a manageable and fulfilling life. I welcome a free virtual or phone consultation to see if we work well together!

My name is Marli, and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist. My professional background spans several years in the mental health field, where I take a holistic and individualized approach to care. I bring a unique blend of neuroscience and psychotherapy into my work, recognizing the central role of the brain in emotional and psychological well-being.

My academic foundation includes a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and a Master’s degree in Cognitive Neuroscience. I am also a board-certified diplomate with the International QEEG Certification Board and a trained neurofeedback technician through the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance. This multidisciplinary background allows me to integrate neurophysiological insights with evidence-based therapeutic modalities to support clients in meaningful and measurable ways.

I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals across the lifespan—including children, adults, and seniors—in both private practice and public healthcare settings. My approach is client-centered, flexible, and collaborative. While I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities, I remain open and responsive to approaches that best align with each client’s unique goals and values. I place a strong emphasis on building a trusting therapeutic relationship, as I believe it is foundational to meaningful change.

I have completed both foundational and advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, which I integrate into my work to support clients navigating trauma, anxiety, and other complex emotional experiences. I am committed to ongoing professional development and strive to create a safe, supportive, and empowering space where clients can heal, grow, and thrive.

A Little More About Me

I do this work out of respect for human resilience and the change that can occur when someone truly feels safe and supported.
