Jenn Andrus
Psychologist, MA, CPsych
Ancaster, ON L9G
My ideal client feels stuck—overwhelmed by trauma, intense emotions, addiction, OCD, or complex PTSD. Many are first responders or high-stress professionals who value competence but struggle privately. They need evidence-based, collaborative care that helps them understand the “what and why” of their diagnosis and treatment. Their goal is clarity, emotional balance, and lasting change—so they can feel grounded, confident, and become the healthiest version of themselves.

You take care of everyone else. But who's taking care of you? Between parenting, work, relationships, and the never-ending to-do list, it's easy to lose yourself. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed. Maybe you're stuck in loops of self-doubt or "not doing enough". Maybe you find yourself scrolling at the end of the day, completely exhausted, wondering where YOU went. Whether you're navigating stress, anxiety, or simply not feeling like yourself - you're not alone. I work with parents of all genders who are looking for support with anxiety, depression, trauma, identity shifts, and the mental load that comes with raising children.

Insight Counselling Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RSSW
Ancaster, ON L9K
My passion is to help people regain their inner peace and happiness to live a pleasurable fulfilled life. Life is full of ups, downs and challenges that we are often not prepared for. It does not matter how many times you get knocked down, but the what matters comes from how many times you get up. I believe the greatest accomplishment is who you become while picking yourself back up. Each new day gives you a fresh start to get back on track and to have the courage to rebuild yourself the way you desire. In therapy we would work collaboratively to address your needs and to determine how best to meet these needs.

Claudia Ceppi
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Ancaster, ON L9G
Relationships • Parenting • Self-Worth • Body Image. How we love, how we parent, how we see our bodies, and how we measure our worth are not separate stories. They shape one another. My work sits at that intersection. I work with adults, parents and couples navigating relationship and dating chaos, parenting stress, people-pleasing, perfectionism, body image, social comparison and self-doubt. The work is about becoming more secure in who you are and how you relate. This is a Self-Led Life.

Things might look fine on the outside, but internally something feels off. You may feel overwhelmed, emotionally shut down, anxious, or stuck in patterns that are hard to shift or explain. Therapy can be a place to slow that down and make sense of it. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, and relational or emotional overwhelm. My approach is grounded, collaborative, and paced with your nervous system in mind. Together, we explore what’s happening beneath the surface and build insight and tools that actually fit your life.

New Sep 2026: Are you a woman between 25-45 who is stuck in patterns you understand but can’t seem to change? Maybe you were raised by emotionally immature or narcissistic parents, struggle to set boundaries, or feel responsible for everyone else’s emotions while pushing down your own. Maybe you're in a dysfunctional relationship or stuck in "functional freeze". You are self-aware and KNOW what’s wrong - you’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, saved the tiktoks - but your body still reacts like you’re in survival mode. It’s exhausting to know what you need and still not be able to do it, and you're so ready for help.
