Have you been white‑knuckling your way through stress, work, relationships, or whatever the hell the last while has been? Or maybe someone (ahem) insisted you do this? If stress, anger, or emotional shutdown are becoming your default—that super sucks and glad you're here.
I specialize in men’s mental health—particularly men who are feeling angry, irritable, disconnected, numb, on edge, or just plain exhausted. It often shows up in ways that feel hard to control—snapping or “blowing up,” disappearing into gaming or work, drinking or using more than you want, or leaning on habits that used to help but don't anymore.

Hello! My name is Monica (she/her), and I am a Registered Psychologist. I am centred in the belief that we are all unique human beings who have found a way to survive this wild ride we call life. I view all symptoms, concerns, and difficult emotions as a map to understanding how you have learned to survive (and potentially, flourish!). This means that I am here to work with your natural capacity to navigate your life, while establishing new ways of meeting your needs (ie. belonging, safety, control) in an empowering and healing way.

I take a client-centered, collaborative approach, believing individuals are the experts of their own lives. With nearly two decades of experience working with trauma, substance use, and mental health issues, including within law enforcement, my focus is on those affected by addiction, trauma, depression, and anxiety. I address current concerns while exploring early life experiences and relationships to promote deeper healing. Through various therapeutic modalities, I create a supportive, empathetic space for clients to explore and grow.

Hi, my name is Amy Geislinger. I believe therapy works best when rooted in a safe, supportive, and authentic relationship. When appropriate, I use humour to make the work a little lighter because I also think that therapy doesn't always need to be heavy. I am committed to helping people develop resilience while navigating anxiety, stress, challenging relationships, and childhood wounds. With 10 years as a junior high teacher, I enjoy supporting youth (12+) through life’s challenges and working with parents to strengthen connections with their children while addressing their own challenges.

My clients say: "I just want to feel a sense of peace again. I haven't felt joy for too long. I don't know why I feel sad and angry all the time." These are statements my clients often say to me when I am learning about them. In womanhood, there are complex reasons why women struggle. I look at areas like work, intimate partnership/s, friendships, physical health, childhood experiences, female biology, the relationship with the self, and the relationship with spirituality (how to make life meaningful) to help untangle the emotional web women feel stuck in. I gently teach women how to begin the process of healing by looking within.

Tansi,
You might be carrying a lot right now—stress, disconnection, or things that are hard to explain but heavy to hold. Maybe you’ve been trying to manage on your own, or feeling pulled between different parts of your identity, your responsibilities, and who you’re trying to become.
As an Indigenous counsellor, I work with people who are navigating trauma, life transitions, and a sense of feeling disconnected—from themselves, their voice, or their path. Many of the people I support are used to being strong for others, but aren’t always sure where to put their own pain.

Many people struggle with self-doubt, relationship challenges, stress, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Therapy can offer a supportive space to better understand yourself, heal from past experiences, and move toward a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
I believe that through self-awareness, self-compassion, and a deeper understanding of the beliefs we carry, lasting change becomes possible. Together, we can explore how past experiences may be impacting your relationships, confidence, emotional wellbeing, and sense of purpose — while helping you reconnect with your strengths and inner resilience.

I view therapy as a holistic landscape, where we considering different areas of your life that influence how you are feeling and functioning. Therapy doesn’t require you to have "it all figured out", it’s a space to be honest about stress, uncertainty, or self-doubt without pressure for immediate answers. I often work with those in transitional, in-between stages of life, where change is constant and clarity feels limited. Together, we may explore how your nervous system responds to stress and the patterns you may find yourself in, so you can respond with more awareness and intention, rather than just coping.
