Tatyana Cattan
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
As a therapist, I am committed to supporting you through the challenges you face. Issues related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationships are difficult to manage on our own. Within the safety and care of a therapeutic relationship, you can find relief from what has been weighing on you and access tools and resources that can help you move forward. I know how powerful it can be to have the opportunity to let it all out, gain a better understanding of yourself, and treat yourself with more kindness and care. Together, we will work to turn the heavy and stressful parts of life into a process of healing and growth.

Emily Beeckmans
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, B.A., B.S.W., M.S.W., RSW, CHRP
Our post-Covid world affects us all emotionally. Fear, anxiety and anger are all coming out. Our sense of safety has been shaken. Re balancing under constant uncertainty is a challenge.
Please reach out to debrief and process how our new world is affecting you and your family. Be patient with yourself and those around you, the chaos and uncertainty makes all of us emotional and sensitive. You are reacting normally to a monumental change to your lifestyle and life plans.
As a Work-Life Balance Coach, I offer coaching and therapeutic psychotherapy for impactful results and peace of mind.
As a clinical counselor & life coach for over 20 years, I help people overcome life barriers to reach their full potential. Our fast-paced careers and chaotic personal lives can cause burnout. Learning to balance often takes a few honest conversations with an unbiased and non-judgmental counselor to regain control of your competing demands.
I use a variety of therapeutic models to assist you in finding peace and happiness. I customize our sessions to meet your needs and teach you simple ways to be mindful and control your emotional well-being.
My experience, education, and skills will help you handle the stress and challenges daily life and work can create. Join me for a safe hour to debrief and connect with your needs to make life easier.

Ivan Pityk
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
My philosophy is that the past builds our being through the experiences we had and the lessons we learned. These experiences help to shape our sense of meaning and personal fulfilment through our journey. Therefore, I believe that it is important to explore the past and see how it shapes our experience in relation to ourselves and others. I incorporate this perspective in my work with clients and help to emphasize the power of choice, explore unmet needs and help to explore important areas for boundary setting.

Liz Dean
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.S.W., R.S.W
Feeling alone and stuck? Sometimes we find ourselves disconnected, insecure, anxious, angry, sad and exhausted - at ourselves, at the world, at our family and friends. And we don't know what to do about it. It can make us feel utterly alone. I would embrace the opportunity to support you to find a path forward and move more easily and authentically through life. My speciality is working with people with self-criticism and/or low self esteem - this can present as loneliness anxiety, depression, ADHD and struggles in relationships and with life transitions (jobs, relationships, new stages of life).

Kathleen King
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Registered Social Worker
I am passionate about helping clients uncover and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and create new ways of thinking and feeling about the issues they are dealing with. I help adults dealing with an array of issues including anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, trauma, grief, self-confidence and self-worth, boundaries, and relationship and intimacy issues. In sessions together, we will lean into the uncomfortable feelings, thoughts and physical responses you may have been trying to avoid and that have been causing emotional distress, and help you regain your confidence in dealing with your specific challenges.

Leigh Berry
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, RHN
"The more we give our inner voice a platform to be our guide, the more we generate feelings of inner worth and trust that we are enough."
Overwhelmed, anxious and oh so tired? How many hours have you spent doing what you don't want to be doing? Or spinning in anxiety and fear about all the unknowns? Lost in the hustle of everyday life - fighting to get it all done, and caring for everyone else, all while trying to fix your feelings and free yourself from the voice in your head telling you you aren't good enough. It's exhausting! Climb out of the fog of the have-to or should-dos, and everyone else's needs. No more gripping, no more pushing, no more resisting.
It's time to love yourself boldly. To feel grounded and connected to your body and your emotions. Through counseling and nutrition, I help women to shift their relationship with themselves and food. To become allies as you are guided into alignment, so you can live from a place of ease, confidence, balance, and trust in yourself.
I know how it feels to know there’s another way but to feel too busy and wrapped up in life to actually find it. Having someone on your side who understands how hard it is to let go of control when it’s all you’ve ever known, and who knows what it’s like to want to be excellent at everything you do, while managing a job, friendships, family relationships, exercise, birthdays, eating well and keeping your house-plants alive - means everything.

Recognizing that you may benefit from professional support is not a weakness but an amazing strength. By coming to this site, you have already taken the first step towards positive change and that takes courage! I know that for myself, the world feels like a very different place than it did a few years ago and many of us are feeling that impact. Therapeutic support is an excellent way to work through the changes of the past and to find ways to look toward a brighter future.
Whether you are looking for general support or to target a specific issue, I would be pleased to chat with you during a free 15-minute phone consultation.

Melanie Fuller
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Tired of being pathologized and feeling isolated? You are not alone.
Traumatic experiences are common yet unique to each person. While each person possesses unique resources and skills, trauma responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) can throw one off balance from their consistent, preferred way of living.
I am a registered psychotherapist (Q), practicing under the supervision of Christine Contant (RP, CTIC). My counselling and psychotherapy background consists of two years of behavioral counselling for individuals who experience developmental differences and one year (2019-2020) of experience providing supervised evidence-based trauma-informed psychotherapy (DBT, narrative therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive processing, somatic experiencing) at the Centre for Treatment of Sexual Abuse and Childhood Trauma (CTSACT) from September 2019-to 2020.
Currently, I practice online (private practice) and in-person while I complete my MC graduate thesis on parents' reflections of high-conflict co-parenting before, during and throughout the COVID-19 pandemic with Athabasca University.

Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
I work with motivated individuals who are looking to work towards better understanding, dealing with, and changing their lives. Clients of mine often have behaviours, thoughts, feelings, or emotions that are dysfunctional or cause them discomfort, such as feeling anxious, depressed, confused, reactive, or scattered. Many of my clients have difficulty with behaviours they feel they have no control over, such as habits or addictions, aversions, or getting easily frustrated or angry. I help my clients understand why these issues occur and help them create tools and protocols such that they can create the changes they want.

I have the tools you need that can help you to feel better so you can take your life back. I have been where you are, and I want to help you so you don’t have to suffer anymore.
