*I currently have a waitlist for new clients *
The action you have made to seek help is not an easy one, rather it demonstrates great strength, commitment, and resiliency. The effects of trauma can leave us feeling vulnerable and unsafe long after the event itself. So often people can be left feeling hopeless, disconnected, and ashamed. Healing these wounds are essential to developing a strong sense of self, positive self view, and safety within relationships. I work from a trauma-informed perspective and pull from approaches that will allow us to build an understanding of the protective strategies formed to survive the emotional and mental impact of the trauma and cultivate self-acceptance and trust with ourselves and others. I hope to create a space where you feel valued, seen, and safe as I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important part of the healing process.
Primarily, I work with those who have experienced recent and historical trauma, such as attachment trauma and abuse/assault. Additionally, I work with clients seeking support for emotional distress (e.g., reactivity, difficulties regulating, depression, anxiety), interpersonal relationships (e.g., relationship patterns, vulnerability issues), self-esteem issues, and personality disorders, among other areas as well. My practice is inclusive, as I work with diverse problems, histories and cultural identities, and ensure the approaches used are catered to each unique individual. My hope is to work together to heal old wounds and painful current experiences, and guide you through your journey towards a healthier life and empower you to become your most authentic self.

MindfulWe Holistic Psychotherapy & Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, IMD (candidate)
Therapy is not meant to last forever, it is a tool to serve you, and the only way to know if the tool worked for you is with successful completion of your goals. I describe myself as your human GPS, sitting in the passengers' seat while you sit in the drivers seat, you tell me where you want to go and I will get you there! Despite all the challenges you may have been through, I firmly believe that you are your own expert and you already have all your own answers. Sometimes challenging experiences have clouded access to this internal knowing. I assist and empower your true essence in order for you to make life affirming decisions that align with your values, and ultimately live a wholehearted life. We surpass focusing on the issue that brought you in to therapy, to making and reaching life goals. It takes a lot of courage to begin this journey inside yourself. Together, we can understand the root cause, nurture it back to vitality & feel the ripple effect on all parts of your life.
I am also currently pursuing a PhD in Integrative Medicine, which gives me alternative healing practices to incorporate into your treatment if/as you wish. I breathe this work, it is my love and passion. It is my utmost pleasure and honor to work with you and help guide you to the wise inner wisdom that resides within every human, today!

Accepting new clients! Everyone has unique lived experiences which impact how one views themselves and the world around them.

Bree Bonanno
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Does daydreaming rob you of being in the present moment? What about always being the "helper" but not willing to accept the help? There comes a time when it will all catch up to you. The sleepless nights, irritation, aggressive outbursts, porous boundaries - I bet these all seem familiar to you. Awareness alone is not enough, It is time to do something about it. Together we will build an authentic and safe relationship that aids in self-growth and discovery. Whether you are struggling with mental inflexibility, emotional dysregulation, or poor time management, I aim to meet your goals.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
As a trauma-informed, client-centered therapist, I believe that psychotherapy can be more than just talking about thoughts and feelings, it can actually do something to better manage them. The work we can do together will focus on helping you develop healthier, more helpful ways of coping while also digging deep to resolve the issues that are troubling you. I practice root cause psychology, which means getting to the bottom of what is actually going on. We will help you re-establish regulation, so that each day doesn't feel like such a struggle. I employ a mind-body approach to healing because they are interconnected and wellness should be integrative and holistic. I firmly believe that all healing is possible, that everyone is capable of overcoming their past, living better in the present, and reaching their full potential for the future.
