I consult with adults who are successful in many ways, but feel unsatisfied with some aspect of their life. They choose to participate in therapy because they want to feel better, cope more effectively, improve their relationships and their overall quality of life. While the circumstances that lead someone to make an appointment varies, there are a number of symptoms that many people identify with, including: • Anxiety • Low mood • Feeling bad about yourself • Relationships are frustrating and disappointing. • Feeling caught in past traumatic or upsetting experiences • Struggling with ineffective coping.

Counsellor, MA, RCC

When things aren’t feeling all that great it’s palpable. Life may seem overwhelming or dull. It can feel difficult, uncomfortable, and even the smallest things can bring about tremendous distress. Like many of my clients, you may be feeling stuck and unfulfilled. Your life and close relationships may feel challenging despite your best efforts. You struggle with how things are and long for what they could be.

You feel disconnected and unhappy. You’ve lost interest in things you once enjoyed and spend a lot of time on your phone or computer to distract you from the stress in your life. You have goals and dreams that you’d like to pursue but fear of failure and procrastination leave you feeling paralyzed. It’s hard to imagine a bright future or things changing, but you haven’t given up yet. You want to have a clear path forward so you can find enjoyment and meaning in your work, relationships, and hobbies.
Alexandria Butterfield
Counsellor, RCC , MA
Verified
While recovery is challenging, one of my greatest passions as a counsellor is helping clients develop tools and gain insight so that they no longer lean on disordered eating behaviours. My approach is compassionate and collaborate. Everyone's journey is different and so I tailor my work to each individual to help you reach your recovery goals. Having worked as a therapist at multiple eating disorder treatment programs (including treating ARFID), I apply this expertise into my work. I also incorporate body liberation and Health at Every Size in working with clients.
Nina Jankovic - Connecting Therapy
Counsellor, MA, RCC, CCC
Verified
You may be suffering from distressing emotions, anxiety, depression, fatigue, high levels of shame, or other symptoms that have left you feeling disconnected from yourself and others. Many of those I work with also have histories of trauma or grew up in invalidating environments where they were not heard. In therapy, it is often the relationship that heals. I practice psychodynamic psychotherapy and integrate mindfulness/somatics, narrative, and existential therapies. I'm here to listen and help you move towards feeling more grounded, creative, and engaged in life.
Adriana Brodyn
Licensed Professional Counsellor, PhD, MA, LCPC, RCC
I am an integrative psychotherapist and bring curiosity, warmth, compassion, and a sense of humor to the therapeutic relationship. I use a collaborative, strength-based, and relational approach focused on promoting long-lasting change. Fundamentally, we are social beings, embedded in complicated social relationships. It is my belief that many struggles people face are linked to how they experience these relationships and how larger structural and societal issues impact these relationships. I strive to work side-by-side with my clients in the healing process, helping them to pave the way toward a more authentic and satisfying life.

Amy Kobelt
Counsellor, MA, RCC

If you are feeling stuck in your past, old ways of coping, or are replaying painful memories I want you to know that there is hope for your future. I work with many people, who, like you, each have unique stories, and have done their best to push forward and to leave their hurts behind. You may be surrounded by people, and yet feel a longing in your life for deeper connection and relationships. You might even feel disconnected from yourself, your body, and others. Perhaps you have tried to cope with the distress by turning to substances, food, self-harm, shopping, work, or other ways of feeling in control.

Feeling stuck? My approach is to build on your strengths, moving you from where you are to where you want to be. I endeavour to enhance the therapeutic relationship by creating a caring and nurturing space for you to express feelings, emotions, behaviours, and relationships. My compassionate nature brings to the counselling relationship the sense of safety, support, and encouragement you need. When facing difficult life tasks, I provide the encouragement to explore new ways to approach your concerns, help shift perspectives and create fresh insights.
Ally Abrami
Counsellor, BA, MC
Verified
I specialize in helping individuals and partners navigate the extra something that makes their relationship(s) a unique challenge. Folks I work with are often loving outside of the cisheteronormative & mononormative structure such as ethical non-monogamy, kink/BDSM, or other LGBTQ2S+ relationships. I also work with people whose experience of the world may be impacting their relationships, such as folks who are neurodivergent, individuals living with chronic illness or pain, or folks for whom trauma is showing up. I strive to help folks design the intentional relationships they are struggling to create on their own.
Gaia Counselling and Psychotherapy
Counsellor, MA, RCC, CCC
Verified
Therapy is a journey to self-discovery and healing where understanding and acknowledging oneself is the key for that change to occur. Change comes from within so that it lasts; acknowledging that not every person is the same, we provide personalized therapy. Each person has the capacity to heal themselves and we will walk together in their healing journey.
Lindsay Jennifer Brown
Counsellor, MCP, RCC
Verified
My career in the realm of psychotherapy started with a few basic goals which are now the roots of my practice: I want my clients to feel safe getting vulnerable. I want you to leave feeling understood and that you have had the time to explore your inner world. I want to help you find strength and resiliency, even in the most uncertain of times. In the very least, we'll have a good chat and you may just leave with a different perspective.
Yoly Lin
Counsellor, MA, BCRCC
Verified
Hi, I am Yoly. For me, clients are not people with mental health issues to overcome, but people who are stuck in certain period of their life, as everyone could be. They come to therapy because they encounter the obstacles in their development. As therapist, my task is to help them identify and remove obstacles so that they could reconnect to themselves, where they could feel themselves holistically and love themselves with understanding, acceptance and compassion.
Martin Olson
Counsellor, RCC, CCC, MA, BSc
Verified
For anyone looking for support with navigating a challenge or who feels a longing to realize more of life's potential, I believe that counselling can be tremendously helpful. Through counselling we can enter a space where we can honestly explore our various thoughts and feelings and generate insights. As a counsellor I see my role as being a trusted companion that can facilitate honest reflection and conversation. I believe that through a strong therapeutic connection we can access deeper levels of our experience and consciousness, and that through this expanded awareness we can grow and evolve into our full potential.
Erin Dunn Wallden
Psychologist, PhD, RPsych

I am a Registered Psychologist specializing in the treatment of disordered eating, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based approach to the treatment of these problems. If you are struggling with: * unhealthy behaviors (disordered eating, substance abuse) * feeling overwhelmed, depressed, anxious * negative thoughts (hopelessness, worry) or * life transition (divorce, career change), I can help you learn skills to minimize the impact of these issues, so that you feel better, improve your relationships, and increase your overall quality of life.
