We can target a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, cultural issues and more.
Therapy to me is about creating relationships and being there to support anyone who needs it. It is about providing a space where you can feel heard and validated about your experiences so you do not have to go through things alone. I am here to help individuals who are looking to begin their healing journey and wish to improve their relationship with themselves and the world. Some areas that I focus on are supporting teens struggling with anxiety, self-image and transitional stages, couples, as well as immigrants and children of immigrants.

I have over 14 years of experience helping adults and teens dealing with trauma, anxiety, and depression.
Are you constantly exhausted from keeping all the balls in the air? The guilt and burnout from trying to “do it all” can be overwhelming. As modern-day women, we juggle work and family, simultaneously feeling like we’re falling short. Nurturing and caring for your family’s needs often comes at the cost of neglecting your own, which isn’t sustainable. Reconnecting to your sense of self is not only possible but essential for reclaiming your own identity and a sense of balance. Therapy can provide a safe space to explore your needs and desires despite life’s complexities, helping you cultivate a more fulfilling life and relationships.

I have also worked with members of the LGBTQ community, Indigenous folks, those with ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, and more.
I became a Social Worker because of this intrinsic desire to walk alongside people through their pain and into their growth. As I’ve continued my own growth, both personally and professionally, I have developed a deep passion for working with folks across the lifespan, from ages 8 to 90, as they work towards healing and peace. I have worked with folks with various neurotypes, substance use and addiction, those experiencing housing insecurity and poverty, intimate partner violence/domestic violence, trauma and attachment challenges, self-esteem, emotion regulation, self-harm, suicidal ideation/suicidality, Dementia, and TBI/ABIs.

Currently accepting new clients (as of the week of July 6th, 2026). My style and approach to therapy are influenced by a holistic understanding that we are a composite of our histories and experiences, the intersections of our identities, and socio-cultural understandings and systems. I am also a firm believer that therapy is a collaborative process of growth and discovery between the client and therapist, and while you are the true catalyst for change, it is an honour to be by your side throughout the journey.

Are you longing for close connections with your loved ones, but something seems to jumble up your messages to one another, driving you apart? Is your loved one pulling back or acting out, leaving you unsure how to reach them? Do you catch yourself going through the motions to please or care for everyone around you, but losing sight of your own needs and voice along the way? Are hurts from trauma or grief clinging to you, overwhelming you, or making it hard to thrive?

I work mainly with depression, anxiety, OCD, perfectionism and worry.
I am an experienced clinician who see's a range of child/youth and adult cases. Prior to completing my Master's degree I worked in the hospital system as a child life specialist and have a special perspective in helping clients who themselves or their family members, have experienced health and hospitalization issues related to medical or mental health issues.
I work individually with clients, but also find it important to make sure that family members, especially parents are included in the therapy process, when working with children and adolescents.

Self-acceptance feels like shedding a heavy coat you didn’t even realize you were wearing. It’s the quiet relief of no longer needing to hide parts of yourself, the sense of freedom in knowing you no longer have to justify your feelings to anyone, including yourself. It's like stepping into sunlight after years of being in the shadows, where every step forward feels lighter. It’s knowing you’re worthy of love, belonging, and happiness, just as you are. I'm Mel, and I’m a Registered Psychotherapist with a passion for providing affirming and inclusive mental health care to individuals of all sexual and gender identities.

Hi, my name is Hannah. I use she/her and they/them pronouns. I believe every client is different and deserves their own unique therapy experience. Before we begin our work together, we will create a collaborative treatment plan, informed by your goals for therapy. My approach is gentle, with a hint of compassionate confrontation. I embrace an anti-oppressive framework, with intentional attunement to the intersections of your identity (e.g. gender, race, age, sexual orientation, etc.). Knowing how difficult therapy can be, I also try to bring humour into my sessions as much as possible.

Anxiety, depression, addictions, compulsions, fears, anger, self-harm, narcissism, etc
There are valid reasons behind your behaviour and emotions. We function best in an environment where we feel safe, loved and valued and can develop healthy relationships and a positive sense of self. We can then better explore life from a position of mental and emotional well-being. Perhaps this has not been your experience. Trauma and distress can affect your feelings and behaviour. The hurt may have left you feeling unsafe, devalued and negative towards yourself. You may struggle with poor coping options that have caused harm and suffering to yourself and those around you. You might be finding it difficult to navigate life.
