Aida Retta

Registered Psychotherapist

Virtual

You’ve always been the one others count on—the thoughtful one, the steady one. But under the surface, you might feel anxious, resentful, or quietly overwhelmed. You say yes when you want to say no. You shrink your needs to keep the peace. You care deeply, but sometimes feel like you’re disappearing in the process. These patterns often begin in relationships where love felt conditional, conflict w…

You're not broken, and you don’t need fixing. At your core, you're whole. But life, trauma, loss, stress, and relationships can make you feel fragmented/out of alignment.

Counsellor, MA, MCP, RCC

Virtual Not accepting new clients

I work with folks who long to break free from patterns that perhaps were once helpful but are now worn out or destructive, who wish to reclaim lost or forgotten parts of themselves, their ancestral lineages, and their communities; who are seeking autonomy, sovereignty, and a sense of purpose in a world that needs us to show up and participate in our own unique ways more than ever.

I work with pilots and men in high-pressure careers who are navigating anxiety, burnout, identity challenges, or major life transitions.

For pilots concerns about career impact, medical implications often create hesitation around seeking support.
