Myriam Hernandez
Registered Psychotherapist
It takes strength and courage to navigate daily life, with pressures coming at you from what seems like all directions. It takes even greater courage to seek out help, to step back, and look at ourselves in order to deal with distressing thoughts, emotions, body sensations or behaviours, or to deal with the past and its impact on present life.

Roja Vivekanand
Registered Psychotherapist
Life events and experiences are ongoing, and sometimes we are in a position where things may not go as we planned. If you are looking for help in dealing with distressing, difficult or unavoidable frustrations, it is the best time for you to speak to someone to gain some insight into these challenges. I appreciate your courage and applaud you for taking this first step to reach out.
Myroslava Tyzkyj
Registered Psychotherapit
Therapy isn’t about fixing you — because you’re not broken. You’re human, and that’s messy enough. Adulting can feel like assembling IKEA furniture without the manual — confusing, frustrating, and somehow missing a crucial piece. Together, we’ll make space to breathe, reflect, and build a life that feels more grounded, more honest, and more like you. No perfection required.

Dr. Michel (Mike) Thibodeau has helped over a hundred adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxiety-related disorders.

Kumasi Jay Gwynne
Registered Psychotherapist
Relationships of any kind can be challenging. I never underestimate how complicated things can get once we tease out the relational pieces in our lives and try to understand how they are affecting us.
David Mibashan
Psychologist
We cannot lie to ourselves: realizing that something is bothering us is the first step towards understanding our present situation. Coming to therapy is a positive second step. It allows us to see where we come from, where we are now and where we would like to be. We should also keep in mind that once we know something, we cannot unknow it.

Victoria Theodoris

Therapy is not just about techniques or sessions; it’s about the relationships, and that begins with a conversation. To make this step easier, I offer a free 20-minute consultation.
