Conflicts. Heartache. Angst. Chronic worry. Fear. Prolonged Sadness. Anger. You probably tried to deal with your struggles on your own, but you are not meant to suffer alone. Most of us reach out for help to family and friends. But sometimes you need more. You need someone who knows how to help you through your difficulties. You need someone who will hear, understand and help you find your way out of darkness. You need someone who can help you develop the courage to say no to toxic choices and yes to life-affirming decisions.

If you're living with anxiety, low self-esteem, disordered eating, addiction, or the daily challenges of ADHD, Autism or disabilities, you might have spent years just surviving, quietly wondering if there's another way to live. You are not broken! No matter what you've been told, or have told yourself, you are worthy of feeling well. I believe every person is born with an inner drive toward a meaningful life. Over time, life has a way of quieting that voice, but therapy can help you feel safe and reconnect with your unique self.

My name is Bruce Avery. I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor, Certified Sex Therapist, and the founder of Avery Therapy Centre. Most of my clients come from marginalized backgrounds and are queer and BIPOC. I work with a wide range of people who may seek increased perspective, self-understanding, and clarity in their everyday lives. I also work with people who may feel that anxiety, depression, or trauma (past/current) is hindering them from achieving a sense of fulfillment and purpose. I've found the work of counselling to be incredibly fulfilling, and feel honoured when trusted with the opportunity to learn about someone’s life.

At the heart of my practice is a belief that bringing light to what pains us, with openness, kindness and compassion, helps us connect to our natural healing capacity. As a counsellor, I bring my knowledge, experience and humanity to create a safe space for this healing to occur. I focus on working with adults impacted by trauma, relational abuse, life transitions, anxiety, depression, shame, issues of self-worth, identity and belonging. I will walk alongside you as you navigate your path to experiencing more wholeness, ease and aliveness in your relationship with yourself and with others.

Reaching out for therapy is a brave step. Life can feel overwhelming, and sometimes we can feel caught, like we don't understand why we feel the way we do or behave in certain ways. Our past experiences can create patterns and habits that might be impacting us in negative ways. Our past doesn't have to define our future. We can learn to slow down and expand our capacity to heal and grow. I work from a trauma-informed, and relational approach. I strive to create a supportive and warm environment where you can safely explore your emotions, take risks, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself.

I support adult women who feel stuck in painful emotional patterns - whether that shows up as anxiety, self-doubt, relationship struggles, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or a sense of losing themselves in the needs of others. Many of my clients are navigating the impact of childhood experiences, unresolved attachment wounds, or long-standing behaviours that keep repeating in ways that no longer serve them.
If you're wanting to understand yourself more deeply, build healthier boundaries, reconnect to your worth, heal old emotional patterns, or show up in relationships with more confidence and clarity, I can help get you there.

Change. Do you have the feeling that something has to change… but you’re not quite sure what it is? Or you have a good idea what and where you want to be… but don’t know what changes to make to get there? Are obsessions and compulsions ruling your life? Or are you struggling with feelings of depression or anxiety? Are your relationships – intimate, family, work – suffering? And are you ready to take that first step towards change? You've come to the right place.

I know how vulnerable it can feel to open up in therapy.

That’s why I show up with compassion, and curiosity to create a space where all parts of you are welcome! My name is Daniel Oommen and I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Certified Sexologist. At my practice, I specialize in sex therapy, couples therapy, and trauma therapy. My hope is to support change that feels both meaningful and sustainable, without ever rushing the process.

Life doesn’t always unfold the way we imagined. Transitions, relationships, and the ups and downs of our inner world can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or questioning your direction. You may find yourself in familiar relationship patterns, feeling anxious beneath the surface, or noticing patterns like overthinking, people-pleasing, or struggling to set boundaries, even when you know something needs to change. Part of you understands what’s happening, but another part still feels stuck. Together, we’ll look at the patterns underneath what you’re experiencing, not just the symptoms, so change feels meaningful and lasting.

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.

I have been in private practice for 20 years, and in the mental health field for almost 40 years. My practice draws self-referring, high-functioning adults. couples and families with addiction, anxiety, depression and attachment disorders affecting their lives beyond their historical, current or perceived ability of self-control. In couples, I usually begin individually to create safety and self-awareness, then re-convene targeting clear self-advocacy, expression and truthful communication. EMDR in the couple context can clear a lot of old trauma and wounded pattern-associations that mire us in destructive relational dynamics.
