Tracy Wideman Counselling
Counsellor, MA, RCC, CCC
Verified
I am excited to work with people to find meaning in the messiness. I value collaboration, compassion, curiosity and openness — and I support connection, community and expression. I bring non-judgement and a deep thoughtfulness to the more unpleasant parts of human experience, and I encourage coming into relationship with these aspects, and exploring ways to create a more meaningful, fulfilling life. In my one-on-one counselling, I support you in moving through the discomfort that comes with exploring your life’s challenges. Our work together will offer ways to explore what brings meaning to your life and human relationships.
Tanya Hubbard
Counsellor, RTC, BA
Verified
I imagine you might be struggling in some way at the moment. Maybe things are not the way you thought they would be. Maybe you imagined your life would have turned out differently. Perhaps you have had some painful life experiences that are feeling difficult to heal. Our grief and loss are exactly that and need to be honoured. What I do believe is if we allow space for our emotions and give the pain the attention it needs, we can experience some relief from that pain and find where the light can seep in. We then can build a life full of meaning and happiness.
Aron Buky-Tompa
Counsellor, MCouns, RCC
Verified
At the heart of this therapeutic practice is the idea that problems lie between you and others as opposed to within you. How do you relate to your loved ones, strangers, and the world at large? Questions such as these will help you understand not only what you could change in your life, but also how to change it. The cultivation of truth occurs through building lasting trust: This is the core of working effectively towards solutions and change together. A heart of non-judgment, encouragement, empowerment, and tools are provided so that you can work through trauma from the past as well as practice new ways of living in the world.

Psychologist, PhD, RPsych

Learn to Stop Worrying, Quiet Your Mind and Get the Sleep That You Need. "Nobody will ever love me." "I'm such an idiot." "I'll never get over this!" What thoughts are holding you back? Most of us have busy minds filled with doubts, worries and other stressful inner chatter. It can be especially difficult to quiet your mind at night when you are all alone with your thoughts.
Amy Kobelt Counselling
Counsellor, RCC, MA

I believe that everyone has an ability to heal themselves. At times, we find it difficult to navigate this healing journey alone.

These feelings might make it hard for you to connect with the people around you in a healthy, life giving way. If you find yourself wondering what is holding you back, I am here to help you discover why. My goal is to help you learn to connect better with yourself and the others around you.
Jordan Gruenhage
Counsellor, MA, CCC, RCC
Verified
Are you a gay man who is overwhelmed by the intensity of your feelings? Do certain situations feel triggering or remind you of a past trauma? It can feel unbearable when you’re just trying to keep it together, and hoping nobody notices when you start breathing rapidly, sweating, or shaking. Even between intense moments, there can be a low-level anxiety that feels like it’s always lurking, ready to take over at any time. Not to mention the shame about not feeling in control of your responses. The good news is that there are specific skills that can be learned to listen to your emotions and think about your past in a whole new way.

Kaitlin Stephens
Counsellor, MC, RCC, RHN
Verified
We can all feel lost and overwhelmed by our emotions, creating a disconnect from ourselves and others. Our anxiety can take over and we can start turning to self-sabotaging behaviors. It can feel as if it has taken over our lives and all that we are really craving is connection, support, and tools that can help us show up differently creating more peace with ourselves and others.

Hello and Welcome! I work with people facing difficult challenges, inwardly and outwardly. You may feel stuck, having faced these problems for a long time and having tried many times to overcome or change them. You might be feeling down or depressed, anxious or fearful, lost or overwhelmed. Perhaps your problems seem too complicated to solve, and you are losing hope for a brighter future. Maybe you have difficulty with empathy and kindness towards yourself or to those you care about, and this is a roadblock to your own happiness.
