Susie Kim
Psychotherapist, PACFA
Serves Area
Hello my name is Susie and I am a culturally responsive, trauma-informed psychotherapist. I work with a range of issues that contribute to symptoms of anxiety, depression, and a feeling of being stuck in unwanted patterns of behaviour. These include attachment patterns and relationships, trauma, self-esteem, challenging family dynamics, sense of identity, life transitions, grief and loss. Understanding the mind/body as one dynamic system, I work in a collaborative way that supports lasting changes in self-understanding, relationships, emotional resilience, and inner strength.

Many of my clients come to therapy wanting to understand long-held patterns, improve emotional wellbeing, strengthen relationships, or find a clearer sense of direction. Some people come to therapy knowing what they would like to work on or discuss, others don’t, and we use the space to explore why they might be feeling off. I usually see adolescents and adults experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, burnout, relationship concerns, eating disorders & the transition to motherhood.

If you're good at holding it together on the outside, but privately running on empty, you say yes when you mean no, or you shrink yourself to keep the peace, you might be pretty exhausted. You might notice you want to prevent burnout or need some help with getting out from underneath it all.

Dr Anu Paradkar
Psychologist, PhD, PsyBA - Clin. Psych
Serves Area
My personal belief is that despite our histories and circumstances we strive for fulfilment, purpose and growth. I seek to help people resolve their inner conflicts, break through internal disconnects, process grief and trauma and build better relationships with parts of self and with others. The goal of most therapy is to allow for healing, strengthening the "kind and wise Inner Leader" that lives within us and to live with greater freedom and self direction.

Psychotherapist, PACFA

Life can look fine on the outside while something still feels missing underneath. You may feel disconnected from yourself or your relationship, unsure of what you need, exhausted by the same conflicts, or longing to feel more deeply seen, heard and understood. Sometimes you know something isn't working, but can't quite put your finger on what. You may feel empty, disconnected or exhausted, overwhelmed yet unable to slow down, or numb and shut down while struggling to sleep, focus or stay present. Sometimes you know something feels wrong, but can't quite explain what is missing.

Rebecca Pettinato
Psychologist, PsyBA General
Serves Area
I know how challenging it can be to reach out for support, but taking the first step towards improving your mental health can be a catalyst for change. I want to help you make positive changes that make your life feel rich and meaningful; helping you live a life that feels authentic and aligns with your values and who you want to be. Together we can explore and work through issues relating to anxiety, depression, ADHD (and diagnosis), rumination, struggles with life transitions, work stress, study stress, relationship issues, loss of direction, uncertainty about careers or life trajectories, and addiction (such as gambling).

Hi! My name is Ray and I support clients that feel overwhelmed, stuck and disconnected from themselves who need a space to slow down, make sense of their emotions, and find steadier ground. Many people seek counselling when they’re navigating the effects of trauma, chronic stress, or complex relationships. I offer support that feels calm, respectful, and genuinely collaborative. With a trauma‑informed, humanistic, and strengths‑based approach I aim to help clients understand what’s happening inside them, develop practical coping strategies and reconnect with their values and direction.
