NOTE: I am going on leave until the Fall and will not be taking any new clients in the near future. My name is Tessa Dimnik and I am a Registered Psychologist with CAP. One of my main focuses in therapy is to create an environment of authenticity and empathy - this means that you are going to see me for who I am and I hope this encourages you to be comfortable being you! I enjoy working with a range of populations including adults and couples and I work with diverse cultures, ethnicities, spiritual beliefs, and sexual orientations.

Everyday life presents us with many challenges, and not all challenges are easy to overcome. In order to preserve our mental and physical health, it is important to identify when the challenges we are facing are beyond the normal threshold of storm and stress. We need to make a decision to reach out...Find a professional who will provide us with an environment where we will feel safe, comfortable, respected, listened to, and understood. Where we are able to gain insight into our situation, find a deeper understanding, evoke meaningful changes, improve our relationships, and heal ourselves by using a potential that we already have.

I am a doctoral-level Registered Psychologist with 10 years of education and training. I specialize in working with adults and couples, and have experience with a wide range of concerns. My approach is based on creating and maintaining a calm, supportive, and safe environment in which we can work towards your goals. I believe that people have the capacity to grow and change, and the inner resources to do so. My role is to help guide clients to these inner resources, and support change that focuses on establishing more effective life strategies.

I help clients shift from just surviving into thriving; realigning with who and how they want to be instead of being hijacked by past experiences. My focus is on creating safe trauma-informed spaces, meeting clients where they are at, and inspiring a compassionate curiosity about who they are, how they got here, and what else might be possible. I have always been fascinated with how our experiences shape us and how we find meaning and inspiration. During this quest I have worked as a trainer/strength and conditioning coach, yoga teacher, and psychologist and these experiences have uniquely shaped my perspective as a therapist.

Society used to look at mental health issues as something to be ashamed of, but we don't have to any more. Mental health, like physical health, is something that absolutely everyone must work at to feel good. It's rewarding work, but it isn't always easy. Traumatic events or even just daily struggles can sometimes lead to addictions, poor relationships with others, or strong feelings of disconnection and worthlessness. The resources we need to stay balanced, to grow, and to feel whole are within each of us, but sometimes we have trouble finding them on our own.

I am a registered psychologist who offers culturally sensitive, anti-oppressive, LGBTQ friendly therapeutic, consultative, and assessment services to children, teens, and adults. I am committed to helping my clients cope with life challenges and overcome a variety of socio-emotional, behavioural, and academic difficulties.

Hello! I'm Charlene. My therapeutic work focuses on understanding each person's own unique emotional experiences and meeting my client's where they are at to overcome and heal from the obstacles they face. I strive to work from a non-judgmental and trauma informed perspective in order to provide evidence based, client centered care. I have experience in working with depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma alongside many other mental health concerns.

I have been a psychologist for 35 years. My motto in working with clients is one of positioning myself shoulder to shoulder with them, meaning I believe people should not be pulled or pushed, but rather find their own way on the road with guideposts provided along the way by myself – it’s something like being a co-pilot. I believe that when one obtains the ability/growth to choose what one needs or wants, there is a certain freedom in that.

Sometimes RELATIONSHIP issues can feel overwhelming and as though things are cycling with no end in sight. The stress and uncertainty can be emotionally paralyzing or explosive. If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, confused, stressed, or strained…I am here to support you as you gain clarity, peace, healing, and confidence. I hold a relational approach to recovery and healing and respect self-determination, as individuals find clarity in the direction that is best for them.

I'm a Registered Psychologist specializing in counselling and sport psychology. I work with a wide variety of issues and tailor therapy to meet the needs of each individual. I believe that individuals have the ability to work through challenges they face, however at times can have difficulties navigating these challenges or feel stuck. I will collaborate with you to help to facilitate desired change. My process involves uncovering and strengthening the abilities you already have while promoting greater self-understanding and skill acquisition to help you arrive at meaningful solutions.

My greatest passion is to bring healing and foster resilience to people who have been through a traumatic or stressful experience. I have over 20 years of experience, working directly with children, adults and families from various cultures, building empathy and providing nonjudgemental support to help people with addictions, depression, anxiety and grief. Currently I see individuals 13 years to 80 years old.

In this journey of life, we experience all kinds of events both positive and negative. As humans, we are equipped with unique strengths and resources that shape our resiliency when it comes to healing, changing, growing, and adapting. We may experience problems because of a disruption (internal or external) to our daily functioning, which can impact how we feel, how we think, and/or how we behave. This can result to feeling a loss of control and autonomy over our lives. A central tenant to my approach in counselling is social justice which means supporting my clients to empower themselves: regaining power over their lives.

We have all been through unprecedented times these last 2 years. The situation has caused us to go through trauma and many loses in our lives large and small, whether it be the passing of loved ones, loss of employment or friendships, counselling can help make sense of what we have been through. Times of struggle and loss can force us to look inward to re evaluate what has meaning for us and perhaps even what is our purpose. It can help to process all you have been through to make sense of it and to find peace. I have 20 years of counselling experience and I have a compassionate approach to working with clients.

I'm a registered Social Worker who has been in the field of Addiction and Mental Health for over 10 years. I've worked in a variety of health care settings including hospitals (in-patient and emergency room), community outpatient settings, the inner city and various counselling clinics.

Welcome to FORWARD! Both Melanie Lestus and Cory Donald are currently accepting new clients. FORWARD offers Online, Office-Based and Outdoor RUN & WALK therapy, for adolescents and adults.

Everyone needs help sometimes. From feeling stressed out, to burned out, to being stuck in a negative cycle, it's hard to move forward alone. Without knowing where to turn or what to do, personal growth, professional pursuits, and important relationships can suffer. This is when it's time to get help. I am here to really listen, make sense of what is happening, and find a clear way forward.

I specialize in psychoeducational and psychological assessments and have nearly a decade of experience completing work privately, in schools, for government, and insurance companies. The assessments I complete help to provide insight into academic, occupational and personal difficulties, which can support treatment goals and other supports.

What do you want your life to look like? Are you feeling overwhelmed, distracted, unable to concentrate? Does the harsh sound of your morning alarm create a feeling of dread? Are you hoping that your next coffee, snack, or social media scrolling session will give you the energy to keep going? It is said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and counselling is like that too. Making the decision to attend counselling is an important step and frequently made when you are struggling and feeling overwhelmed. I applaud your courage in taking steps towards recognizing things in your life that are not serving you.
