Wendy FitzGerald
Counsellor/Therapist, RPC-C
I'm passionate about helping my clients better understand themselves. This self-awareness is the key to overcoming difficult emotions such as anxiety, depression, low mood, stress, and overwhelm, among others. Sometimes they come to me just feeling stuck, unmotivated, and unsure of how to move forward. I work with them to find the reasons behind these challenges and walk with them on the path to healing. I find people and their unique life experiences intriguing, and the most important part of my practice is building a trusting relationship with my clients so they feel safe, accepted, and comfortable opening up about whatever is on their minds.

Vera Cheng
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
As a 1.5-generation Chinese Canadian, who grew up in an Asian immigrant family household, it has shaped and informed my life and practice in many ways. Therapy can be a transformative and empowering experience. I will work with you to develop a deep personal awareness and support you on the path toward healing, learning and growing. Finding a therapist that is a good fit for you is essential. We'll be a good fit if you are motivated, self-reflective and ready to tackle the daunting task of “figuring it all out.”

Tiffany Brown
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CCC
Being able to share our stories in safe places can help us to gain clarity, dissolve shame, feel more connected with ourselves and others and support our empowerment. I am honoured to provide this warm, compassionate, safe space for women and folks who've experienced abuse from a recent or past partner or any other form of gender-based violence. I will gently walk alongside you and together, in ways that centre your choice and at a pace that works for you, we will help you to lay your story down and connect with your experiences and yourself in ways that foster clarity, honour your voice, restore connection and trust, and sense of empowerment and wholeness within.

EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Are you grappling with the question, "How do I overcome this?" A common hurdle individuals often articulate when discussing emotional distress is feeling immobilized. If you're encountering difficulties progressing in your career, relationships, or rediscovering lost joy in life, you might be grappling with unresolved trauma or unaddressed attachment needs. These challenges can manifest physically, such as chronic pain, headaches, or fatigue. We take the time to empathize with your unique journey that has led you here.
You might be navigating through anxiety, depression, or intense emotions like fear or anger. Ultimately, you might feel disconnected and wrestle with existential questions about your beliefs or purpose. Our aim is to offer the support you need to move forward. We endeavour to guide individuals towards a deeper understanding of themselves and how to authentically engage with the world around them.
Recognizing that addressing trauma requires vulnerability and emotional investment, we prioritize cultivating a safe, non-judgmental space for our clients. Our approach to trauma therapy is integrative, aiming for holistic healing. We follow a three-step process: 1) Building a comprehensive understanding of your experiences; 2) Crafting a personalized treatment plan; and 3) Assisting you in finding inner peace and resolution.

Katarina Guillen
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Life can be tough, especially if you are feeling stuck, alone, disconnected, burned out, or like something is missing. It takes a great deal of strength and commitment to work on your goals and your relationships, and you have taken an important step in making a change by looking for support. I believe that our lived experiences impact the way we interact with ourselves and others. In exploring these experiences, we can learn to grow, improve our relationships and communication, gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, and create meaningful change.
I offer online individual youth and adult psychotherapy. I am here to provide support and guidance for difficulties such as strain in relationships, anxiety, self-criticism, difficulty setting boundaries, lack of intimacy and connection, difficulties related to parenting or family dynamics, or if you would like to develop emotional insight and emotion regulation skills. I may also be a good fit if you would like to strengthen relationships, work to live your life more aligned with your values and goals, heal past relational pains, develop assertive communication skills, work effectively towards your goals, manage stress or burnout, explore how to increase self-compassion, or develop emotionally informed parenting skills.
I am committed to creating a supportive, collaborative, and compassionate environment in which you feel safe to explore the challenges you are facing. I value meeting you where you are at in your journey, and exploring steps towards meaningful change in your life. Everyone’s needs are different, please reach out to see if I would be a good fit for you!
