History
Established in 2021.
The Therapy Space was founded in 2021 by psychotherapists Taylor Pagniello and Sumaira Choudhury, who met during their internships and quickly realized their specialties, values, and vision for care aligned. Both shared a passion for trauma-informed, inclusive, and accessible therapy, and wanted to create a practice that could reach more people across Canada. What began as a shared dream has grown into a diverse team of highly skilled psychotherapists and supervised interns. Together, we provide specialized care in trauma therapy, relationships and attachment, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, neurodivergence (ADHD & autism), and stress and burnout recovery. At The Therapy Space, we believe mental health care should be compassionate, affordable, and tailored to each person’s needs. Our diverse team reflects the communities we serve, and through secure virtual therapy, we strive to create a safe and supportive space where more people can access the help they deserve.
Meet the Business Owner: Taylor P.
I’ve always believed that therapy should feel accessible, safe, and truly supportive for every person who reaches out for help. During my internship, I saw firsthand how many people struggled to find a therapist who felt like the right fit, or who could understand their unique experiences. That realization, combined with my own passion for trauma-informed and inclusive care, inspired me to create something bigger. In 2021, alongside my colleague and now business partner, Sumaira Choudhury, I co-founded The Therapy Space. Our vision was simple: to build a diverse team of highly skilled therapists and interns who could serve a wider range of people across Canada, and make therapy more approachable, affordable, and personalized. What inspires me most is watching clients find their voice, their confidence, and their healing in therapy—and knowing that our practice can be a bridge to that transformation. That’s what keeps me motivated every day.
