My approach is to learn about you and your strengths, to work collaboratively in a relationship based on trust and competency, and to draw on my years of experience and theory.
The most important component of successful therapy is the relationship you have with your therapist. Building relationships is a particular strength of mine which supports best practice approaches

Gwen Shandroski, Expressive Arts Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc, S-LP(C), R.P.
I help my clients/patients feel comfortable to begin therapy. I have gone through this process as a client and as a therapist many times. Feeling understood and having someone help you take a look at what is going on can be very refreshing and provide some hope. My background in speech-language pathology has prepared me to work with clients who have difficulty expressing themselves. Expressive arts therapy is an alternative way to reach feelings and represent the experience you're having.

Lauren Jin Yong Schneider
Registered Psychotherapist, R.P. (Qualifying)
I understand reaching out to begin therapy can be intimidating. My biggest priority is ensuring you feel comfortable, genuinely seen, supported, with empathy and without judgment. I help support clients struggling with anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, eating disorders, trauma, relationship and communication issues, emotion dysregulation, as well as concerns related to self-esteem and self-development.
My approach to therapy centers my clients, integrating evidence-based approaches of cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, emotion-focused, and acceptance & commitment therapies as well as distress tolerance and mindfulness-based interventions. Above all, I believe in providing collaborative, individualized care, where we'll work together to discover your hopes, strengths, therapeutic goals, and an approach that resonates with you.

Emma Heutschi
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Ed. Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychotherapist
I will always be sensitive to your needs while we work to deeply understand who you are, what is going on for you, and what you want. I will fully listen to you in a safe place with zero judgement, as we bring awareness to your issues and discover solutions. Feelings of shame, confusion and guilt will be resolved together, as I will challenge your thoughts to develop more balanced thinking and guide you to understand and express your emotions.
It takes courage to ask for help, thus I see all clients as strong and capable of change, otherwise they would not be in my office. My commitment is to meet you where you're at and to help you feel safe exploring whatever you're struggling with. I can teach you skills for developing boundaries, regulating your emotions, communicating more effectively, and much more. I will support you to achieve your goals and to build self-compassion and self-reliance.
