Lorna Barnes, Oak Tree Counselling
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CT, CPC
I find clients are looking to understand themselves, to find reasons they struggle the way they do, and discover how they got where they are. We've all been influenced by our experiences, whether good or bad. Good healthy experiences give us the tools and confidence to navigate life, but what happens when our experiences have been far from good? A child experiencing abuse, trauma, loss, and neglect believes they deserve it or it's their fault, not knowing the adults in their lives are responsible to help them feel secure and confident. Negative childhood experiences often throw individuals into feeling too much responsibility, becoming people pleasers, carrying much shame and guilt, feeling like a burden, social awkwardness, experiencing cognitive distortions, depression, addictions, loss of identity, anxiety and panic disorders, inter-relational problems, lack of confidence, and a lack of boundaries. Clients need to know they're not to blame and there's hope to experience a healthier and purposeful life, the life they were meant to have. Clients need to know they belong, they matter and are not a mistake. If you want to find freedom, purpose, contentment, and healing schedule a 30 minute free consultation to explore whether we'd be a good fit to journey together to a better you.

Jayne Batten
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, RPC, MPCC
It takes courage to ask for help. I am aware of the enormous amount of pain people carry every day, everywhere and I feel compelled to reach out and help them tap into a more meaningful life, to teach them they have value, to help them gain an increased sense of control over their own life, to help them recognize their resilience and improve the quality of their relationships. We are all in this together.

Elliott Kemmet
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, BSW, RSW
*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* In my practice, I prioritize creating a supportive and relaxed environment where therapy is a highlight of your week, not something you dread. I aim to make each session feel like a meaningful conversation rather than a clinical procedure, where you can laugh and heal in equal measure. My approach is to foster a space where deep reflection leads to clarity and peace, encouraging you to explore your thoughts and emotions openly.
I value a therapeutic experience that allows you to be your authentic self, supported by warmth and non-judgment. Each session is designed to empower you, facilitating personal growth and emotional healing through genuine connection and empathy. Join me in a setting committed to nurturing your wellness journey with intention and care.

Hi there, my name's Eric. My aim is to treat each person as unique with their own special strengths, flaws, values, and aspirations.

Authenticity is something I hold in high regard. Take care and best wishes on your own journey!

Kaimana Psychology
Psychologist, BA, MACP, Registered Provisional Psychologist/Therapist
I believe that healing is possible for everyone, and it is an honor to be part of your journey towards personal growth and well-being. My name is Michelle, and I am a dedicated therapist specializing in ADHD, trauma, PTSD, panic attacks, anxiety, and depression.
I understand firsthand the impact that these conditions can have on your daily life, relationships, and overall sense of self. Through my own experiences and professional training, I have developed a deep empathy and understanding of the challenges you face. My goal is to provide you with a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your emotions, heal from past traumas, and develop effective strategies for managing your symptoms.
In our sessions, I emphasize a personalized approach that respects your unique experiences, strengths, and goals. Together, we will delve into the underlying factors contributing to your difficulties, working collaboratively to develop strategies that address both immediate concerns and long-term well-being. I am committed to utilizing evidence-based therapies tailored to your needs, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused therapy, and mindfulness techniques.
My ultimate objective is to empower you to reclaim control over your life and embrace a sense of hope, resilience, and fulfillment. I believe in your innate capacity to heal, and I will provide unwavering support as we navigate the ups and downs of your therapeutic journey.
I also recognize that life can be hectic and finding time for therapy can be challenging. That's why I offer both in person as well as flexible online sessions, allowing you to prioritize your mental health without sacrificing your other responsibilities. You can receive the care you need from the comfort and privacy of your own home, eliminating barriers and making therapy accessible and convenient for you.
I invite you to take the courageous step towards a brighter future by reaching out for a confidential consultation. Together, we will embark on a transformative path towards personal growth, emotional well-being, and a life that is not defined by your struggles.
Remember, you are not alone. I am here to walk alongside you, providing guidance, understanding, and unwavering support. Let's embark on this transformative journey together.
Warm regards,
Michelle Bourque
