As a Therapist who is also a parent I deeply appreciate the journey toward health for young people struggling with their mental health and the need for caregivers around them to support the process. I honor the time with parents and enjoy this part of the process. Working with clients with trauma and other mental health challenges has taught me the value of going at the pace of the client alongside, co-creating a new experience of themselves. Another part of my work that I truly enjoy is the supervision aspect with either new clinicians, or experiences clinicians desiring support, recovery from burnout or rediscovering joy.

Embracing Change Counselling
Counsellor, MA, CCC
Verified
Human beings, on the whole, are extraordinarily complex. I believe that we each carry within us depths that we do not necessarily draw on in our day-to-day movements, be it by choice, or by a certain unawareness – when what is needed to access our full capacities has not yet been discovered. When feeling stuck, it can be important to be reminded of our resilience and our capacity to change, to flow in the midst of flux.

I will be honoured to hold your story carefully and respectfully, and collaborate with you until things improve or your suffering goes away altogether, depending on your goals.

L. Enrique Monje-Alvarez & Associates, Inc.
Counsellor, MSW, RCC
Verified
I have been a mental health counsellor/therapist for over 25 years. In my experience, two very important factors in therapy are trust and safety. I believe trust is earned by the therapist and safety is experienced by the client as therapy progresses. What I have learned from my clients is that even when they experienced hopelessness at first, change was possible, and when there was change, no matter how small, they felt hopeful. My aim is to support clients and help them identify and achieve their short and long term goals, at school, at work, in their family and private lives.
Barbara Pattison-Clay
Counsellor, MA, RCC

Do you feel like you are repeating the same behaviours over and over? Stuck in the same cycle: sad, anxious, overwhelmed and unable to enjoy life? Do you feel caught in unhealthy ways of managing, feeling hopeless to create change? You are not alone. Whether you are embarking on a journey of personal growth, or seeking solutions to current challenges, counselling can help you explore what may be keeping you stuck. I strive to help clients find their strengths and develop a healthy way to navigate through life's challenges.
Steven Scaglione - Forging Bravery
Counsellor, RTCc
Verified
Is fear calling the shots in your life? Deep down you know you want something more or something different, but it's hard overcoming feelings of doubt, guilt, or shame. Maybe it's the fear of rejection which prevents you from dating or putting yourself out there. You try avoiding all situations where facing rejection is possible in an attempt to avoid feeling that pain, but its replacement is an equally unpleasant feeling of loneliness. Now, avoiding fear is hurting you just as bad as the initial fear itself. My passion is working with individuals who want change, and are eager to start their personal development journey.

When relationships become complicated or unsafe, it can be hard to figure out what is going on or what to do. Women who experience difficult relationships are faced with an overwhelming range of emotions, challenges, and obstacles. My goal is to create a safe environment for women who are experiencing relationship issues, including abuse, to process their experiences and reconnect with who and how they want to be in the world. People I work with say I am warm, grounded, supportive, non-judgemental, resourceful, creative, and hopeful. My primary areas of interest are difficult relationships, abuse, religious trauma, grief, loss.

Counselling can provide support and strategies to help you navigate the challenges with greater ease, and enhance the positive experiences with a sense of meaning and purpose. My goal in counselling is to foster an environment in which you may achieve greater understanding and compassion for yourself, find ways to ease distress, and create more clarity, peace and stability in your life.

Ina Stockhausen
Marriage & Family Therapist, MTC
Verified
These are unique and challenging times. We are faced with very real stressors that can trigger lots of anxiety. What is happening right now can also activate past trauma. Financial concerns, health concerns, worrying about loved ones, having to adjust to living with each other...it can bring out the best and the worst of us. If you have already been struggling with disconnect, unresolved conflict and hurt, or unhealthy ways of coping, now is the time to reach out. I have a very compassionate yet practical approach and focus on providing you with tools that will enable you to make positive life and love changes
Christine Michailides
Counsellor, RTC
Verified
Children and families are often referred to me by other counsellors or health professionals because "the kid refuses to talk or cooperate" or "we tried everything and nothing works". Families often seek my specialties to explore their children's behaviours and challenges from the developmental lens. Neurodivergent children look forward to seeing me because they feel I am safe, and fun, and can easily connect with them in a special and meaningful way. I cannot work with autistic children receiving ABA treatment as it is contraindicative with my strong commitment to neurodiversity affirmative and disability ethical principles.
Nicole Jenkins
Counsellor, RPC, MPCC

I believe that each person has the ability to improve their life; to become closer to who they want to be. No problem is too difficult to face with the right kind of support. Many people are suffering on their own or feeling stuck in patterns that keep them from having the life they want. Counselling can change this.
