I’m so glad you are here. New Clients are welcome, both young and old (individuals, couples, families). Let’s talk about how therapy helps. There are so many ways we can feel better, we just need to take one step. Reaching out is the first, and often clients feel better after the first session. There are no waitlists for new clients, when you are ready to begin, we begin. Every moment is an opportunity to feel better, but sometimes we lose hope and stop trying. I encourage self love and self-compassion with playfulness and creativity. “Love has the intense ability to heal the wounds from the blows that life gives us.” Sue Johnson

Hi, I’m Sandy Kirkwood, the founder of Integrate Counselling. I’m passionate about counselling because I know that with the right therapist at the right moment in your life, it can be both helpful and life changing. I know this because, over the years, I have witnessed so many clients move through their struggles to gain a deeper understanding of who they are and what they truly want. I have gathered this particular team of therapists together because I know how they work with clients. They have been either close colleagues of mine or past supervisees. I have witnessed their warmth, wisdom and effectiveness in working with clients.

You might look like you’re coping on the outside, but inside feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in your head. Stress may feel constant, self-doubt shows up at the worst times, or performance pressure and perfectionism are getting in the way: at work, at home, or in sport. You want relief, but you also want understanding: a space where you don’t have to justify your feelings, can slow down, and make sense of what’s happening. Ultimately, you want to feel calmer, more confident, and more like yourself again.

Trauma impacts how we see the world, navigate through our experiences, and connect with others. While you are not the product of a single experience or relationship, sometimes one experience can feel so overwhelming that it overtakes over all others. Together, you can start to move towards a life where this problem or memory is no longer an obstacle.

Hi, I’m Adriann. I work with people who often seem 'fine' on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected on the inside. Sometimes it feels like everything is too much—but at the same time, you don’t know where to start. Maybe you’re constantly in overdrive, or maybe you’ve started to shut down just to cope. I support people who are navigating complex trauma, burnout, and emotional numbness—especially when things look okay from the outside but don’t feel okay at all. Together, we slow things down and start to reconnect with your body, your inner cues, and what you need to feel good, happy and grounded again.

As a counsellor, I have the privilege of working with youth (ages 10+) and their caregivers, young adults and athletes of all backgrounds on their mental health journeys. Some individuals come to me seeking support for their previous mental health diagnoses, others may feel “stuck,” overwhelmed or disconnected and are looking for a path forward. Through compassion and collaboration, I help individuals gain a deeper awareness of themselves and their patterns, leverage their strengths and make shifts towards their goals. When working with caregivers, I help them "decode" their child's behaviours and build deeper connections with them.

How effective is treatment for insomnia?
The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.
Are there specific medications for sleep problems?
There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.
Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?
There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.
What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?
Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
