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.

Tina Bells
Registered Psychotherapist
You're carrying a lot. Memories you didn’t ask for, pain that shows up out of nowhere, the feeling that you've lost not just someone you love, but part of yourself. EMDR can be a powerful way to process what’s unresolved when you’re seeking relief, clarity, and a deeper sense of connection, with yourself and with others. When grief and trauma run deep, it’s not always easy to find the words and y…
