I enjoy working with folks and their relationships. This includes individual support to help better relationships, healing after a break-up, and couples looking to develop a deeper connection with each other. Together we will look at what that means for you, what you view as key factors to work on, and what that work will look like. I am client-centered, strength based, and believe you are the expert in your life. I create a safe space for you and your partner to share your thoughts and come to mutually agreed upon solutions.

In a nutshell, what I am all about is connecting to my clients with acceptance and compassion to allow a safe space for them to connect back to themselves. I believe many messages and experiences can leave people very disconnected which can manifest as depression, anxiety, PTSD, addictions, difficult or toxic relationships, loneliness and general unhappiness.

I'm Dunja, a relational therapist with a background in cultural studies, community work, and a creative streak that runs across everything I do. Remaining open to ourselves and other people takes courage in a world that is often heavy. I’m excited to work with people ready to explore their identities (social, culturally, gender and sexual, racial, political and otherwise) and people trying to understand, strengthen and sustain their relationships and communities. I believe we can do this difficult work of reconnection and repair while still calling on playfulness and creative expression.

Whatever has brought you to this point has taken a toll. Life feels overwhelming, especially while others are leaning on you. Family issues, personal burdens, and troubles in the outside world pile up. It feels like too much. You’re feeling alone, and you’re not sure how you’re going to make it through. You're looking for rest and support, for resolution, and for a different way of managing everything.

I specialize in relationships, self-betterment, healing from trauma, and anxiety and depression. I help clients re-author their stories and separate their problems from who they are as a person. Clients can take the sessions where they need to and we will work through each focus point at a pace that works for the client.

"Better communication" is how most people summarize their therapeutic goals for a reason. Sometimes it seems like an impossible task to feel understood by others. I am deeply committed to comforting and guiding individuals and couples who struggle with the internal and external conflicts that result from feeling misunderstood. I facilitate improvements in communication with an approach that streamlines the process of therapy by identifying and working on eradicating our issues from their foundation.

EMDR is my preferred treatment method; it has changed my life and it has the potential to help you too. If EMDR is not right for you, my trainings in DBT, DNF, Narrative Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Gottman Method, Yoga, Dance, and Meditation make me a versatile and effective therapist. I understand the impact and prevalence of trauma in our world, and I take into consideration the ways that systems and structures (patriarchy, colonialism, racism, etc…) can negatively impact mental health, identity, relationships, and communities. My practice is body-positive; inclusive; LGBTQIA2S+; ENM; and kink friendly.

Reaching out is a brave step. Sometimes stress builds, life happens or our history including trauma, unresolved conflict or relationship patterns can leave us feeling stuck. Playing the same tapes over and over. A negative relationship with ourselves. Facing the same patterns or facing unfamiliar situations, challenges or decisions. It can be exhausting and feel isolating. If you are looking to address the root of the issue and find support through change, then reach out. I am an easy-going, straightforward, therapist and conflict resolution specialist with 25 years experience. Book a session at "Safe Harbour Therapy" website.

Hello and welcome! My name is Lee and I’m very excited to be considered your therapist. One of my favorite things to do is guide clients to their self-healing through psychotherapy, so it only made sense for me to open my own practice. I am a Korean Canadian and grew up knowing I wanted to be a therapist. Core foundations in psychotherapy have influenced my therapy approach, because I believe like any practice, you must respect foundations. I prefer to guide clients to their core issues, rather than focusing on the symptoms, as I believe we are all doing our best to cope.

Feeling disconnected? Perhaps you're struggling to exist in a society that doesn't feel like its accepting of you? I specialize in working with clients who often feel they diverge from societal norms. I have special interest in working with clients who may describe themselves as belonging to these groups: Neurodiverse, LGBTQIA+, Ethically Non-Monogamous, Kinky, and/or those involved in non-traditional family/relationship dynamics. If this is you, now that you are not alone! My experience may not be the same as yours, but through collaboration, we can work together to help find the best treatment methods for your unique situation.

Divorce Counsellors
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.
What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.
When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.
How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
