Melissa Letourneau
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
My approach is grounded in authenticity, trust, and often humour. I believe you have the wisdom to navigate life’s challenges and I strive to help empower you to facilitate change in therapy. Therapy can serve as a safe space to explore your feelings of resentment and forgiveness. I work with individuals, couples, children and families offering a free consultation to ensure we are a good fit. I carry a systemic lens, exploring the way culture, community and family shape our experiences and aspirations. I am committed to strength-based and anti-oppressive practice in my work. I recognize the importance and responsibility I have as a therapist, to address the systemic inequalities impacting clients in their lives.

Cayla Townes, Memento Psychotherapy & Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
Forgiveness can have a lot of different meanings depending on who you talk to. I believe forgiveness is about being able to acknowledge that someone has hurt us, but not letting that hurt dictate how we think, act, or feel. This can be an incredibly difficult place to get to depending on how we were hurt. I work with people on acknowledging the hurt, processing how it has affected them, figuring out how this hurt affects their lives now, and how to move forward in a way that honours their pain while beginning to heal it.

Molly Heffernan
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Forgiveness is a deeply personal journey and can be a powerful tool for healing. However, it's important to recognize that forgiveness is not always necessary and it does not excuse or condone the actions of those who have hurt you. Sometimes, the most compassionate choice is to focus on your own healing and boundaries without feeling pressured to forgive. Forgiveness, when it feels right, can help release the hold that pain has on your heart, but it is not a requirement for your healing or peace. You deserve to honor your feelings and take the steps that are best for your well-being. Remember, your journey is unique, and it's okay to prioritize your needs and healing above all else.

Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RP
Are you noticing that the burden of resentment or self-blame has become too difficult to carry? Do you find yourself stewing on events from the past - locked in painful waves of anger, regret, disappointment, and self-doubt? Are you looking for clarification and emotional freedom?
Learning to cultivate forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting or denying the pain of your experience. It also doesn't mean having to say or do something for another person. It is all about doing something meaningful for you. It involves learning to give back to yourself what has been lost, reclaiming who you were before and nurturing self-forgiveness.
I am here for you, holding a safe and supportive space. Together you and I will explore ways to hold yourself kindly, develop skills to manage the pain and weather the emotional storms, and begin to reconnect with what is essential for how you want to live your life now.
