Welcome. Taking the first step to find support can feel vulnerable, and I’m glad you’re here. Being human is complex—made even more so by the rapid pace and pressure of 21st-century life. While technology connects us, it can also make it harder to truly feel seen, focused, and connected. I support individuals and couples with relationship challenges, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. I have additional experience in menopause, ADHD, and neurodivergence. My approach is collaborative, grounded in Psychodynamic and Emotionally Focused Therapy, with a strong focus on relationships, meaning, and emotional resilience.
Therapy is most effective when the relationship feels safe and aligned. I offer a free 25–50 minute consultation so we can get a sense of that fit. I also encourage you to speak with other therapists if you’re unsure.
Whether we work together or not, please know you are worthy of care.
Call or Joanna Puchala now for a free 15 minute consultation - (289) 275-4017

My primary modalities are Psychodynamic and EFT (which uses the attachment lens and holds that emotions tend to be the compass directing our behaviours). We are unique individuals so I like to keep an open mind about the variety of ways to support clients. What may work for one person, doesn't necessarily work for another. We will get there at a pace that feels right for you.
