I have experience providing individual counselling to children, youth, and families. I offer services in relation to trauma, grief and loss, transitions, family breakdowns, coping, anxiety, depression, ADD/ ADHD, emotional regulation, anger management, and other mental health diagnosis'. I provide brief therapy services which is goal oriented and aimed at debriefing an event, or offering clients new skills they can utilize. This type of service is ideal for those with a limited number of sessions through their insurance or EAP. I also offer more intensive services aimed at helping people work through their trauma.

I take a holistic, biopsychosocial approach to all clients, as what brings us to therapy exists within all aspects of our lives. I use theoretical approaches such as client-centered, attachment-based, emotionally focused therapy (EFT), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and solution-focused therapies, as well as components of mindfulness. I primarily work with couples and individuals as they navigate distress in their lives and relationships such as transitions, infidelity, pregnancy, and parenting. You will be met with warmth, comfort, and understanding in our sessions.

Teresa is an empathic, kind, and nonjudgmental counsellor who is passionate about helping individuals overcome their struggles with mental health, and cultivate the self-compassion needed to heal from past traumas. Feelings of stress and anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addiction, and relationship difficulties have feelings of shame and self-criticism at their core. Directing compassion toward ourselves can allow us to feel safe and accepted, giving us the caring motivation to work through our suffering, to change unhelpful thinking/behaviour patterns, and connect with our values to get the most out of life.

Jim believes that therapy should be targeted and effective, and that with the right tools, many challenges can be resolved sooner than we think. He understands that therapy is not meant to be a life-long engagement, but rather a collaborative process that creates a foundation for an authentic life. Jim is trained in Brainspotting, counselling hypnotherapy, and in working with complex trauma. He has been working in mental health since 2013. Currently, he specializes in working with men on issues related to chronic pain and physical injury, post-traumatic and workplace stress, depression, anxiety, and trauma.

Sometimes things happen in life that are beyond our control. Changing and adapting to new situations can be difficult. Navigating through that process can be challenging but talking through it can help gain perspective.

I know that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming and i'm so glad that you're here. I work with children, teens, young adults and adults. With adults, I work to explore new ways to cope with old patterns that are no longer serving them. I also work with folks to help them understand and process the stories and emotional experiences that have left them feeling stuck. This allows choice for people to move toward a life that is deeply connected to their values. My work with children (5-10), teens and families is focused on trauma, anxiety and depression and is informed by my advanced trainings in Play Therapy, ACT and EFFT.
