I will walk alongside you on your journey, while providing a safe and non-judgmental space. Connection is the foundation of our work together.

Cultural values, family history and rigid expectations about our future can shape the stories we have about ourselves. These stories can begin to feel heavy and leave us feeling “not good enough.” I work with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, imposter syndrome, self-worth and relationships. Together we work to understand your relationship with yourself, and the impacts of your environment on your wellbeing. I support in developing healthy boundaries and coping strategies. I use both exploratory methods of Internal Family Systems and Narrative Therapy as well as skills based approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

Hi I'm Judy, Director at Your Story Counselling (YSC). At YSC, we understand that life can be stressful, it's easy to become disconnected from ourselves and those we love. Our goal is to help you find what you need in order to create the pathways towards your own desired journey in life. When we open ourselves up to our vulnerabilities, we open ourselves up to our full potential. We believe that all of us have the strength within ourselves to overcome and forge ahead with our own preferred way of life, love, and happiness. We all can use some help and support from time to time.

Do you feel stuck in life? Are you exhausted by intrusive thoughts that just don’t seem to stop no matter how hard you try? Are you someone who suffers from anxiety, sadness and self-esteem issues? Are you having a difficult time with stress management, making decisions to move forward in life, marital conflict, job related problems, difficulty relating to family members or just day-to-day life? My mission is to help you identify your goals and needs, while instilling a feeling of safety, trust and understanding and to foster resilience and direction in the achievement of your goals.

I don’t believe in taking a clinical, transactional approach to therapy. I nurture each relationship I have and view every client as a unique individual requiring a tailored approach. Over the last three years I have helped clients move through anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, life transitions, and relational issues. My client-centred approach allows for a natural flow in our work and creates space for sustainable positive change and long-term success. I want therapy to feel useful and I always welcome feedback, honesty, and laughter in sessions. If this feels like the right approach for you, let’s get connected!

Are you looking to enhance your life and better manage stressors? Would you benefit from someone to support you while you navigate the difficulties you currently face? I strive to nurture safety and vulnerability in my clients so they are able to work through their emotional pain, defuse from their negative thoughts, develop coping skills and care for their overall mental health. I have experience working with women and men; teens, millennial and adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, eating disorders, relationship issues, narcissistic parents or partners, and borderline personality disorder.

Hi! I'm Olivia and I'm a Registered Psychotherapist who helps millennials work through challenges from their past so they can be the best versions of themselves tomorrow. Do you have a hard time regulating your emotions, low self-worth, or struggle with attachment issues? Maybe you’ve developed people-pleasing tendencies or have trauma from your childhood that you still carry the weight of. These are examples of how your past may be influencing your life today. By working with me, I will guide you through my 3-step approach to holistic healing:

My approach to therapy is Attachment and Interpersonal Neuroscience Based. Adult Attachment Theory (rooted in Attachment science) will uncover the ways our early attachment experiences in childhood, impact our relationships in adulthood. Interpersonal Neuroscience (rooted in Polyvagal Theory) focuses on the role of our nervous system, and why we respond to/interpret “threat” the way we do.
