Samantha Diminutto
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CCC, MPS-AT
I'm passionate about working with fellow ADHDers, especially through expressive and creative means. It's not easy for everyone to verbalize big emotions, so I often use art therapy techniques to help people improve their mental health. Neurodivergent people can benefit hugely by getting professional support from someone who gets it. Together, we can help you to better understand your unique wiring, with improving your communication and relationship skills and with self actualizing.

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!

Hello and welcome. I offer support to adult individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues and life transitions. I specialize in working with women. We can all use a little help when we find ourselves struggling through difficult phases and events in our life. Learning to move through changes with support and self awareness, identify patterns that keep us stuck ,can can offer us clarity and a feeling of self-empowerment. I offer a supportive, non-judgemental safe space to share your story, explore a life you desire and identify what's standing the in way.

Kristen Bailey Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Masters of Arts Counselling Psychology
Reaching out for support shows you are already aware that you are in some form of pain and you want to do something different. Your relationships may be struggling, you may feel disconnected, you may be experiencing thoughts and feelings that are feeling unmanageable or living in a state of shame. Over my time as a therapist (and in going through my own journey) I have seen how that what brings people toward truly feeling better is learning to be more self compassionate, building acceptance of their own story and how it has affected their life and developing a more peaceful relationship with the thoughts and feelings that they experience.
I am passionate about helping folks build a better relationship with themselves, which ultimately leads to better relationships with others and have witnessed and experienced how therapy really supports us with this.
