New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
We are a team of Registered Psychotherapists and Social Workers who specialize in supporting individuals through effective and research backed trauma, relationship, and sex therapy.
We began as a trauma focused clinic - our team has a solid understanding of the countless small and large ways that trauma impacts us. We work with traumatic stress and related difficulties such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD and complexPTSD), addiction, self-harm, and suicide ideation. We support survivors of sexual violence as well as those who have experienced emotional and physical abuse, criminal victimization, bullying, war, and near death experiences.
We've found that as people heal, relationships and intimacy naturally becomes a secondary focus. For this reason we offer family, couples, and sex therapy. We support individuals of all gender and sexual identities and relationship structures.
We respect diversity and differences in opinions, values and attitudes. This is reflected through individualized treatment plans which consider each individuals lived and generational experiences. We strive to provide culturally-sensitive, non-discriminatory, and affirming care to culturally diverse populations and BIPOC, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, kink and polyamorous communities.
Our goal is to help you break free from your past and rediscover a fulfilling life filled with joy and connection.

Kacper Kalin
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, MTh
Since embarking on my training in psychotherapy in 2003, I have continually encountered evidence reaffirming the crucial role of the therapeutic relationship in facilitating positive outcomes. Together, we can establish and nurture a trusting therapeutic alliance, where your feelings and thoughts are not only valued but also progressively understood with increasing accuracy and awareness. This holds true for both individuals and couples seeking therapy.

LifeCycle Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, MPE, RP
When you feel confused or lost about what to do in life, or you feel like no matter what you say or who you talk to they just don’t get it.. lean on us. We are here for you.
I became a therapist, because like you, I am human and have had my fair share of battles. It is difficult when you feel unheard, misunderstood, and overwhelmed.
That is why I created LifeCycle Counselling. Our primary focus is YOU. We meet you where you are, and walk alongside you to help you get to where you want to go.
Remember, therapy is an investment, not an expense. Rediscover yourself.

Ms. Alison Fosbery
Registered Psychotherapist, MA
You have probably started looking into therapy to help manage symptoms of anxiety. I help women who are struggling with the same obstacles you are facing. I know you have goals that you are trying to reach, but you likely need some support to learn how to process the past, remain present, and cope effectively.
Most of my clients are also struggling in their relationships. We will explore attachment styles and any other habits that might be negatively contributing to the already excruciating process of dating in 2023.
