I am a professional psychotherapist that specializes in blending mind and body therapies to help remove barriers to our sense of calm and joy. In a trusting and non-judgmental environment, the brain’s natural healing is encouraged. I have been working in the non-profit mental health field for 10 years in a variety of areas including: Addictions and Family Treatment, Medical Clinics with a focus on anxiety, depression, stress, insomnia and chronic pain, and in Community Health Centres with older adults managing life transitions and grief.

Sometimes life is challenging and overwhelming with no clear way to move forward. My job is to help people find their way. If you find yourself struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties or other challenges, I would like to help. Using a person-centred approach, I offer individualized support as you begin to take steps towards positive changes.

Do you struggle with communicating your needs and resolving conflict in your partnership? Perhaps you’re recovering from infidelity or looking to have a more satisfying sexual relationship. Do you experience anxiety and stress that impact your relationship? Maybe you are in a new season of life and want to start a new relationship or reinvigorate your marriage. These days, relationships are under pressure and yet they form the backbone of our families and communities. If you think you are in a rut and want to find a way out, you are not alone. I can help.

As we journey through life, sometimes the way is easy and other times it is not. Therapy may help us explore whatever we have encountered along the path. I work with individuals 18 and above who would like to explore paths previously travelled while developing strategies for wellness on the journey forward. My goal is to walk with you for a time, to co-create a space to reflect, learn and grow, guided by the expertise of your own experiences.

My name is Gwendolyn Preston. If you're experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, or a lack of motivation, you've come to the right place. Finding balance and direction in life are challenges we all face. Counselling therapy can help improve your quality of life, and together, we can achieve your goals. I hold a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and supported. By listening to your story, I can help you identify patterns and goals, and equip you with helpful tools to overcome barriers and improve your quality of life. I use an integrated approach tailored to each client to effect long lasting changes.

Currently accepting new clients! You might be feeling disconnected from yourself, like there are too many things out of your control right now, or are feeling overwhelmed. If this is you please take comfort in knowing change is possible. Through therapy, I can help you understand the thoughts, feelings, triggers, and stressors going on for you right now. I can also help you understand the body sensations that accompany these, like tension in your body, stomach aches, or breathing fast. In therapy I can help you reconnect to yourself. By doing this, you will learn more about yourself, so you can start to heal and grow.

There comes a time when we suppress our emotions down the drain. However, in the long run, feelings of stress, anxiety and overwhelmed will begin to pile up. We cannot run away from our emotions, but rather learn to accept our emotions, become self-aware and develop the correct tools to cope with them. Together, we will process your emotions and challenges while creating greater insights of yourself. I am committed to providing you with a safe space and supporting you at your own pace.

Hello, thanks for visiting! My goal is to work together with you to develop a safe place and a strong alliance so we can understand where you are now, define your goals, and how we can get there. With a focus on developing a resilient, positive mindset, we will explore your emotional cycles, generate corrective experiences, and ultimately, help you live your values. I primarily work with individuals and couples.

I offer assessment, therapy, and consultation services to adults and couples contending with a range of challenges related to adjustment to significant life events and transitions, anxiety, depression, end-of-life considerations, grief and loss, interpersonal difficulties, post-traumatic stress, and treatment adherence. While I emphasize an experiential (i.e., emotion-focused, mindfulness-based) approach to therapy, integrated within interpersonal and systems frameworks, I am also able to draw on cognitive-behavioural techniques.

Hello! As a registered psychotherapist (qualifying), I provide evidence-based counselling and psychotherapy services to children, youths, and adults.

I work from an empowerment model and many clients have found this very helpful.

I am personable, approachable, and flexible, and I will work with you to establish your goals for therapy, and help to process the issues that come up for you. My approach is seated in a place of curiosity and empathy, and I see myself as your advocate. I sometimes use humour during our sessions to reduce stress, and provide relatable examples so that you can integrate therapeutic skills into your life. I use evidence-based therapeutic approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness.

I also help those who feel confused with their work or life path. You are unique, and your therapy should reflect this. I tailor sessions to your distinct needs!

Hello, I'm Thanh (pronounced Tang)! I work with clients who are struggling with their mental health by drawing their strengths and helping them develop greater resiliency.

Together, we collaborate to build habits and systems in response to life's challenges, and build a life that clients enjoy living rather than letting the days pass by.
