Focus Areas: Women  dealing with life changes, Mom Burnout, Menopause, trauma, anger, depression, anxiety, BPD, grief, divorce, parenting/ co-parenting and relationship challenges (individual)

Hi, I am Michelle, Clinic Owner, and a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I have completed a Masters degree in Counselling Psychology, a Master of Science in Early Childhood Education  and Bachelor of Arts; Contemporary Studies and Religion and Culture.

Throughout life, I have worked through many challenges that allow me to relate to my clients on an experiential level. I am a wife, mother, co-parent, step-parent and hobby farmer and I am passionate about helping others and grateful that my clients allow me to lead them through the process of self-discovery.  

I use a client centered, solution focused approach to help my clients identify their barriers, build tools that help manage their most challenging symptoms of anxiety, panic, depression and trauma and help them build a life they love. 

Your mental health should be as important as your physical health! I focus on helping the client get to know the real authentic version of themselves.  Working with clients we focus on things like identifying and setting healthy boundaries, identifying root causes of anger and developing tools to help process, learning and practicing self-compassion, identifying toxic relationships, promoting and strengthening healthy relationships, working through major life changes and transitions, identifying problematic patterns and strengthening 'sense of self'.  One of the most common questions that I ask clients is "who is the real you'? and most clients answer "I don't know". My goal is to support you in figuring out the answer to that question in the therapy setting

 "Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom."–Aristotle.

Focus Areas: Perinatal Therapy, pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges (individual)

 Hi, I am Mallory and I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I have a Masters degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy and an undergraduate degree in Psychology. 

After going through my own pregnancy, loss, and postpartum journey, I have developed a deep passion for perinatal therapy. I use a client centered approach to therapy to address clients individual experiences and mental health concerns through pregnancy, infant loss, childbirth, and postpartum. 

My collaborative and compassionate approach to therapy gives space for clients to feel heard and work towards overcoming challenges. I utilize psychotherapy techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Therapy. 

Please, feel free to bring your little bundle of 

joy with you if needed! 

Focus Areas:   Women’s mental health, fertility & family planning, parenthood, anxiety, depression, stress, overwhelm, relationships (work, familial, romantic), career transitions, and peri/menopause. 

 Hi, I’m Devon, and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. My approach is shaped by both my clinical training and personal experiences that have transformed me – from corporate burnout, emotional complexity of infertility, the realities of motherhood and relationships, as well the mental and emotional load that so many of us silently carry.

These experiences allow me to meet clients with genuine compassion and a deep understanding of what it means to feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of who you are beneath all the roles you hold. I am passionate about supporting the times life shifts and you are seeking more understanding and control.

My approach is integrative and evidence-based, drawing from EMDR, Mindfulness, Emotion-Focused Therapy, CBT, and a client-centred foundation. Together, we explore what’s contributing to your stress, make sense of emotional patterns, and build tools that support clarity, self-trust, balance, and healing. Whether you come in knowing exactly what you want to work on or simply feeling like something isn’t right, therapy becomes a place to reconnect with yourself.

The heart of my work is to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change—at a pace that honours your story and your strengths.

Hi, I am Ryanna and I am Registered Social Worker. I have completed a Master of Social Work, a Bachelor of Social Work, and an undergraduate degree in Social Development Studies, all from the University of Waterloo. I also possess a college certificate in Human Service Foundations from Conestoga College.

Our lives are not entirely defined by what has happened to us but rather by the meaning we decide to extract from it. "Trauma is a fact of life. It does not, however, have to be a life sentence" - P.A.Levine.

My professional and personal lived experiences, in collaboration with my identity as a neurodivergent and first-generation Canadian, fuel what drives my pursuit of collective healing. Before beginning clinical practice, I spent several years working in crisis intervention and prevention, addictions and recovery, accessibility, the shelter system, behavioural therapy, and child welfare and protection.

I focus on empowering authenticity and promoting self discovery; my therapeutic approach to healing is based around a trauma-informed, whole person lens. Interventions and resources are developed and carefully selected based on each individual's history and needs. Currently providing support to all age groups, some evidence-based modalities that inform my practice are Somatics, IFS, DBT, ACT, CBT, EFT, Play Therapy Strengths, Mindfulness and Attachment.

 Focus Areas:  Anxiety and related disorders, Trauma and PTSD (EMDR), Couples counselling and communication, Men's issues

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP). My clinical work focuses on anxiety and related disorders, including OCD, using gold-standard, evidence-based treatments such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I also work with trauma and post-traumatic stress using American Psychological Association–approved approaches, including Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

My approach to therapy is active and collaborative. Together, we work to understand why certain patterns have developed while also building practical tools to help you respond differently when anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or emotional overwhelm arise. I aim to balance insight with real-world strategies so therapy feels meaningful and useful beyond the session.

Through the use of the Gottman Method, I support partners in slowing down conflict, improving communication, and understanding what lies beneath recurring challenges. Rather than focusing on blame, our work centers on building emotional safety, strengthening connection, and developing healthier ways of relating. 

I strive to offer a space that feels grounded, honest, and supportive — one where you don’t need to have the “right words” to begin, only a willingness to show up. If you’re looking for a therapeutic approach that is both compassionate and practical, I’m here to help. Whether you prefer a structured treatment plan or a more free-flowing session, we can work together in a way that fits your need

Focus Areas: Individuals working through Betrayal/Infidelity Trauma, Attachment

Injuries, Addiction, Religious/Spiritual Trauma, Chronic Illness & Medical Trauma, Women without Children, Neurodivergence, Childhood Trauma, Family conflict, Familial Estrangement, LGBTQIA+ Community.

Hi there! I'm Amanda and I am a Registered Psychotherapist. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Guelph.  I obtained a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. I have a decade of experience in various mental health fields, primarily working with adults with comorbid mental health concerns as well

as individuals of marginalized populations.

From a very young age, I knew I wanted to help others and advocate for the importance of

addressing and treating mental health, just as we do our physical health-- from an empowering

place rather than a pathologizing one. 

 My lived experiences also help inform my work on a deeper level.

I work from a very client-centered, eclectic, biopsychosocial approach and incorporate a variety of therapeutic modalities to best meet and support the needs and goals of each individual client and help me to truly empathize and hold space for clients- meeting you where you are at. Some of the evidence-based approaches I pull from include: Strengths-Based Solution-Focused

Therapy, Self-compassion Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Somatic techniques, Attachment-Based Therapy,InnerChild  Therapy, Neuroaffirming Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based CognitiveBehavioural Therapy.

Helping others transform and reframe their issues and struggles into life-enhancing opportunities

and personal growth is my passion. We often forget that being truly heard and listened to can be

such a cathartic and powerful experience.  I strive to make every client feel truly heard, valued, honoured and empowered, by holding space for you to share openly and honestly. I look

forward to working together to help you achieve your goals and lead a more fulfilling, happier,

healthier life —one day at a time.

Focus Areas: children(play based therapy), teens and families (anxiety, depression, complex trauma, PTSD) NIHB billing

Hi, I'm Rebecca and I am a Registered Social Worker with a Master of Social Work, Bachelor of Social Work, and Social Service Worker diploma. I developed a deep compassion for helping others from a young age. My naturally playful and compassionate attitude led me to my journey working with children and teens. It was here that I realized how important it is to not only cope with life's challenges, but to understand why they're there and heal the root of it. 

I have 5 years of experience working in lead Children’s Mental Health Agencies in Ontario, 2+ years of experience working with children, teens and families in private practice and experience working with indigenous organizations. These experiences have been vital in my own growth as a therapist and have led me to be patient with the process, provide unconditional acceptance and understanding, and meet clients where they are. Some of my main go to interventions are EMDR, Play therapy, DDP, CBT, DBT and Part’s work.

Outside of my therapist role, my favourite thing to do is basking in the beauty of nature! I also dabble in slaying dragons in D&D, painting, (winning) board games, streaming shows and spending time with loved ones.
