Vanessa Fingland

Imagine how life could be if you could control your emotions, ask for what you want, and not feel guilty! I help women who struggle with: relationships, setting boundaries, confidence, communicating their feelings, stress, burnout, anxiety, anger/resentment.

Mackenzie Fournier

Registered Psychotherapist

Hi, I’m Mackenzie! I’m a Psychotherapist who loves keeping therapy real, down-to-earth, and practical. I help people untangle patterns around anxiety, food, and self-trust using tools grounded in science. In sessions, I bring my authentic self—you can expect a mix of support, guidance, and maybe a little humour when it feels right—so we can tackle challenges together without the extra pressure.

Maiya Robbie

Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, Registered Expressive Arts Therapist

My approach is compassionate, curious, resourcing, arts-based and informed by my particular constellation of interests and experiences in the field of psychotherapy. I'm dedicated to helping folks navigate liminal (in-between) spaces of not knowing. Sometimes this looks like stuck-ness, or feeling at a standstill... experiencing grief, overwhelm, depression or anxiety. ​I'm here to help.

Aida Retta

Registered Psychotherapist

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…

Edna Mitander

Registered Therapeutic Counsellor RTC

What is your understanding of joy and happiness? I'd like to hear your definition. Do you find it difficult to understand the suffering and challenges you face in your life? Do you still experience past trauma and feel like you're going through life on autopilot? Do you question your faith and finding yourself scrolling the internet to find answers?

Helen Beynon

Registered Clinical Counsellor, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner

I help thoughtful women transform “never enough” into calm confidence. If you look successful on the outside yet secretly wrestle with self-doubt, people-pleasing, or exhaustion from trying to keep it all together, you’re not alone. You don't have to stay stuck - together we’ll turn survival patterns into sustainable self-trust so you can enjoy relationships, work, and your own company.

Kirin Dupuis-Friele

Registered Professional Counsellor - Provisional

Life brings us many challenges, some hard and some traumatic. In each of these is an opportunity to discover who we are beyond the challenge through growth and self discovery. In my practice I walk along side you and support you in processing and turning life's challenges into character growth and hope in a new direction.

Liana Yip

Counsellor, MA, MCP, RCC

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.

Lisa Demmer

Registered Psychotherapist, HBA, ADHD-CP, EMDR
