Michelle Strazzeri
Master of Social Work (M.S.W, R.S.W) -Social Worker/ Psychotherapist
For 9 years I have worked with individuals, couples and families on a wide variety of issues including communication breakdown, trauma, abuse, accident, injury, addictions, depression, anxiety and other mental health concerns. I understand that change is difficult, and it is hard to take the first step in seeking out therapy support. I know it takes courage to start this process.
Cheryl Jejina
Registered Psychologist
I support adults and women navigating burnout, trauma, anxiety, and major life transitions. My approach blends evidence-based therapies like DBT and ART with somatic, mind-body work to help you move beyond insight and create real, lasting change. I work especially well with high-achievers, mothers, and those feeling overwhelmed or disconnected.
Chris Graham
Professional Counsellor, MPCC-Provisional designation with the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association (CPCA).
I work with pilots and men in high-pressure careers who are navigating anxiety, burnout, identity challenges, or major life transitions. Many of the people I support are looking for counselling that is practical, confidential, and respectful of their professional context. For pilots concerns about career impact, medical implications often create hesitation around seeking support.
