Are you trying to move forward in life, but find yourself constantly weighed down by the past? Maybe it's your experience growing up, a toxic relationship, or something that happened to you. After hardship or trauma, the brain adapts in brilliant (though sometimes unhelpful) ways. You might find yourself feeling anxious and unable to let things go, numb and shut down, or feeling disconnected from the person you want to be and the life you want to be living. If that sounds like you, know that this doesn't have to go on forever.

Hello! I am a compassionate, supportive and collaborative therapist that offers both short term or long term therapy depending on what you need! I am here to provide you with a safe and nonjudgmental space to work through old pains and new life challenges with yourself or family members.

Welcome. I’m happy you’re here because it means you believe things can get better, and that means you have hope. Hope is a great starting point. All of us woke up in this place called life, and none of us got a manual, let me help you make the most of it. I strive to create a warm, collaborative, and welcoming atmosphere where your bravery and vulnerability are met with a non-judgmental and curious attitude that allows for new insights and self-awareness to surface. I love walking alongside my client’s on their journey to build resilience, tenacity and self-leadership.

I work with adults and youth 12+. I have particular experience supporting neurodivergent folks who may be experiencing mental health challenges related to ADHD or ASD, such as burnout, substance use, anxiety and depression, school avoidance, feelings of isolation, relationship challenges, overwhelm, family conflict. I also work with families and caregivers of young people to help support family cohesion.

When a transgender youth comes out to their family, the whole family experiences a transition. For youth, family acceptance, celebration and support are integral to feeling safe, secure, and authentically themselves at home. For parents, their child coming out as transgender means learning to reimagine a new future and gender for their child. Reimagining a child’s future can feel scary when first learning that your child is trans- parents and caregivers often worry if their child will be misunderstood or be the victim of transphobia or violence. These worries can make envisioning a future worth celebrating feel difficult for parents

Welcome! I am a queer and gender expansive therapist, offering individual online therapy across most Canadian jurisdictions. I offer a contextualizing, self-compassionate, and strengths based approach. While life's hardships will never disappear, I can help you come to more peace and aliveness within yourself. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space to be seen, heard, and grow within. Therapy is kind of like detangling a big ball of yarn; it can be both hard yet relieving (you're not broken, just tangled!), and ultimately allows room for more consciousness/choice to flow in: now that your threads are free, what would you like to weave?

Greetings! I'm Normand, a proud Queer person, a Registered Social Worker, and an avid board game enthusiast. Welcome to my practice, where I emphasize the values of self-determination, diversity, and building strong therapeutic relationships. With a deep understanding of neuroscience and trauma, I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity, and life transitions. My practice embraces diverse ages, cultures, and identities, including Indigenous Peoples and the Queer community.

It is seeming all too normal these days to experience feelings of disconnection. A separation from ourselves, our passions, our bodies, our communities, etc. We spend so much time in our heads trying to figure out how to survive when we so desperately want to be thriving. Where has our aliveness gone? How do we get our bodies and our senses back online and truly show up for our unique experience?

Hello! I offer virtual counseling and other supports for adults and youth aged 12+. As a white, neurodivergent, trans, genderqueer pagan with a delayed sleep cycle, I’ve created Night Owl Counseling to be the mutually accessible, anti-oppressive, culturally humble, difference-affirming space I'd always wished for myself. My skillset goes beyond mental health support, because the mind is interconnected with every other part of us. I can also provide life skills coaching, help with accessing other systems, or even develop a long-term plan for your ideal future.

Ashley focuses on spirituality and cultural identity when working with individuals from various walks of life. With a diverse background, including youth mental health, they integrate DBT and trauma-informed methods. Recognizing systemic influences on internalized oppression, Ashley prioritizes connection and robust therapeutic relationships. Apart from psychotherapy at BRI, Ashley, an end-of-life doula, offers expertise in bereavement and grief. Driven by a passion for positive change, they believe resilience is self-defined, supporting individuals to overcome challenges.

Your relationships can be an incredible source of pleasure and connection, AND they can be the biggest source of tension and exhaustion. You might feel rigid and uncreative, or be falling into people-pleasing habits. You may feel overwhelming physical sensations of constriction, pain or numbness. You play a vast range of roles in your friendships, romantic & intimate dynamics, and at work. This can be a lot to handle, and you may be masking your authentic self. Creative arts therapy can offer new ways to find playfulness so you can relax into intimacy in your relationships, your body, and fully own the stories that shape you.

We spend much of our lives in survival mode, feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or overwhelmed. To admit our struggles, needs, and desires for change is a courageous risk—and an opening! Therapy's an opportunity to unearth and accept parts of yourself and your experiences you may have had to set aside before. It’s a chance to grow your capacities to feel, reflect, and connect in a supportive space. Much happens when someone is walking with you, at your own pace, showing loving appreciation for your unique journey. I won't tell you what healing or a more fulfilling life looks like—I want to explore together what that means for you.

As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I work with adults and teens who come to me with a variety of challenges. They may be struggling to cope with grief and loss, or are feeling confused about a relationship, or are finding anxiety increasingly hard to manage. I work with folks to bring patterns to light while building new ways of being in relationship to others and feelings together. I love working with feelings - and the people who have them. Whether your feelings are big, bold, and out loud, or you're struggling to articulate or find them, I am glad to sit with you and explore them together.

I'm Sarah (She/They), an Ontario registered Social Worker, and I'm here to walk alongside you on your path to healing and growth. I am a Queer, gender fluid individual, with my own lived experiences. Having walked my own path, I truly understand the worth of lived experience in therapeutic work. The special insights and lessons we gather from our personal journeys provide wonderful chances for self-reflection and personal growth. Embracing the idea that lived experience is a valid way of gaining understanding is at the heart of how I approach offering caring and therapeutic support.

Congratulations on taking this first step towards your own self-care. People start therapy for many reasons. Maybe your inner voice wonders whether you’re good enough. Maybe you’re having a difficult time finding joy in your life, and are searching for more meaning. Maybe you’re finding it hard to cope with life’s challenges, or are undergoing a big change, and are feeling worry and anxiety. Maybe you’d like to explore an earlier trauma, and you’re looking for someone compassionate and open-minded, who can help bring a new level of insight to your past.

Life can be messy. Therapy can be a way to navigate life’s most painful moments in a safe and supportive container. As a Relational Psychotherapist, I believe that it is the connections in our lives which foster growth and well-being. I help clients to deepen insight and self awareness, as well as identify obstacles to making change. Valuing the importance of the therapeutic relationship, I will create an environment which nurtures compassion and authentic being. I will honour the breadth of emotions in therapy and make room for whatever challenges arise.

My therapy practice is deeply rooted in celebrating 2SLGBTQ identities, neurodivergence, harm reduction, building a better relationship with your body and eating, and unpacking the impacts of trauma. If you tend to intellectualize your emotions and struggle to really feel them, my somatic and arts-based approach may work for you. You may already have a clear idea of what you'd like to discuss in therapy - or you may not! Either way is more than welcome.

My philosophy is, you are not broken, you are not something to be fixed! There is something you are wanting to change. That is the focus of what we can work on together. All individuals seeking assistance to navigate their life's journey are welcomed. I listen to what your needs are, help provide you with tools to find a path to break down barriers that are keeping you from living your best life. I believe a counsellor and a client must be able to establish a trusting relationship to make the most of the time spent together. I offer structured/non structured therapies depending on the needs of the clients.
