Therapists in B2Y
I support my clients in their therapeutic process who are LGBTQIA2S+, neurodivergent, polyamorous/non-monogamous and within adjacent communities by creating a supportive and relaxed environment. With a creative background I feel best suited to work with folks who are open to a curious and mindful approach to their healing journey with room for exploration. I have a strength-based approach and encourage my clients to gently unravel parts of themselves through somatic exercises, psychotherapy and creative arts therapy interventions to encourage more self compassion and understanding.

You don’t need to explain why you’re tired, overwhelmed, or stuck.
If you’ve been living in survival mode, feeling disconnected from yourself or unsure how to move forward, therapy can help you feel steadier, safer, and more like yourself again. I specialize in working with trauma, complex trauma (C-PTSD), and nervous system overwhelm. I support adults who have experienced chronic, relational, and identity-impacting trauma, including survivors of domestic abuse, sexual violence, and human trafficking. Many of the clients I work with have tried therapy before and felt it didn’t go deep enough or move too fast.

Hi, I’m Elizabeth, and I support teens and adults as they navigate trauma, grief, anxiety, low self-worth, life transitions, relationships, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and more. I welcome individuals from all walks of life, with a particular passion for working with survivors of narcissistic abuse and adverse childhood experiences. Trauma lives in both the mind and body, shaping how you see yourself and the world around you. Therapy offers a safe space to begin untangling those patterns and can help you move beyond the weight of the past—opening the door to a life with more ease, clarity, and harmony.

Hi, my name is Steve Gates and I have been working in mental health for 17 years with 9 years working as a counsellor with the Nova Scotia Health Authority. In my work, I try to blend my training with your expertise about you. Using this approach, I have seen people make progress through situations that truly seemed impossible. In my experience, once people accept where they are and make realistic goals, they tend to make progress. The “feel better” part does seem to take time, but it tends to follow the changes.

“Until you stop breathing, there's more right with you than wrong with you." (Jon Kabat-Zinn) This is also my guide and intention as a Registered Counselling Therapist. My work is to help an individual experience themselves differently while providing compassion, presence and skill in a safe space. I offer an integrated, eclectic approach that is based on each client's needs. Understanding attachment style, the effects of trauma and the mind-brain-body connection inform my therapeutic approach.

I work with adults who are navigating in-between times and places, relationship struggles, grief and loss, and challenges that prevent them from fully showing up in their lives. I believe therapy is a place to strengthen connection to self, and also locate that self within larger systems. Our environments, cultures, institutions, and lineages influence us in different ways - to find our power, we must understand the world around us, and the stories we live within. My work with couples attends to the individuals and the dynamics between them.
