Dr. Christine Sauer
Life Coach, MD;ND
Parenting is very hard. As a mother of two, grandmother of 8 and an aunt and grand-aunt to many as well as having studied parenting I know what works. Parenting with love and logic is my preferred method. Use necessary discipline combined with unwavering love.

EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Parenting encompasses a profound journey of nurturing secure bonds and healing past wounds. Parenting becomes a delicate ballet of giving protection, warmth, and unconditional love because it is based on the concept that early attachment experiences create the foundation of emotional development. Trauma, whether inherited or experienced, can ripple through generations, influencing parenting styles and relational dynamics. Therapy offers a space for parents to explore their own attachment patterns and address unresolved traumas, fostering greater self-awareness and empathy. By cultivating secure attachments and nurturing emotional resilience in their children, parents can break the cycle of intergenerational trauma, paving the way for a future filled with love, connection, and healing.

Lorna Barnes, Oak Tree Counselling
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CT, CPC
I love to work with parents who are struggling to parent their children. We'll look for patterns that come from root issues that may be impeding clients' ability to parent. Psychoeducation is important in this area so new skills can be developed. I supply parenting resources and believe the connection and attachment we develop with our children early in their lives creates a calm well adjusted child.

Aaron Chin
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MA, RCC
When working with parenting, I like to start with some mindfulness around the issue to gain a deeper understanding of the experience, from here there are many options, and I rely of the client's wisdom to guide me.

Meredith Mpinga
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CPC
As a mum of five kids, I get it. I get how hard it is to be the parent you hoped to be, when your kids are struggling and the work is piling up and the time is short. Often parenting can bring up struggles from our past, default ways of relating which we don't want our kids to experience. As we face our own pain, we're able to heal both for our own sake and the sake of our kids.
They're worth it, and you're worth it.
I also get how hard it is to prioritise your own healing. That's why sessions are available both in-person (to get away from the stressors at home and work) and online (to access therapy in the small window of time you have available).
