Philippa Klein
Counsellor/Therapist, PSW, MSW
I have been working with diverse populations for a very long time. I I truly love my profession and feel my life experience has given me an open and non judgemental perspective. I am trained in several therapeutic approaches for both individual and couple therapy. While I am certainly an empathetic listener, I also believe in active engagement, solutions orientation and real partnership with my clients. Choosing a therapist and taking that first step might seem
overwhelming , but I promise that first step is so worth it.

Lauren McCarley
Registered Psychotherapist, RP(Q), BSc, MA
Overcoming life's challenges alone can be incredibly difficult. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), the pressure to please people, or the exhausting pursuit of perfection, know that you are not alone.
I offer a safe space where we can work together to explore strategies and tools for navigating life's challenges. We will build on your areas of strength and resiliency, while acquiring new skills that can help you cope more successfully. I am excited to embark on this journey together, as we all have the potential to reach our goals when given the right tools and support.

Liz Dean
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.S.W., R.S.W
Feeling alone and stuck? Sometimes we find ourselves disconnected, insecure, anxious, angry, sad and exhausted - at ourselves, at the world, at our family and friends. And we don't know what to do about it. It can make us feel utterly alone. I would embrace the opportunity to support you to find a path forward and move more easily and authentically through life. My speciality is working with people with self-criticism and/or low self esteem - this can present as loneliness anxiety, depression, ADHD and struggles in relationships and with life transitions (jobs, relationships, new stages of life).

I am committed to ensuring that clients feel seen, heard, and respected, and that our conversations lead to unique transformations achieved through empowerment. I work with individuals, couples, children, and families and offer a free consultation to see if I am the right therapist to support you through this journey.

Sierra Goldfinger
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying)
I believe therapy is a safe space to explore the thoughts, emotions, hopes, and challenges you experience, as well as the relationships and contextual factors impacting your life. I believe that as we deepen our understanding of ourselves, we are able to recognize the ways in which we are impacted by our experiences. This deepened awareness can help us be our most authentic selves and cultivate newfound meaning in our lives. I work with individuals, couples, families, and youth and offer a free consultation to see if I am the right therapist to support you through this journey.

Emily Beeckmans
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, B.A., B.S.W., M.S.W., RSW, CHRP
Our post-Covid world affects us all emotionally. Fear, anxiety and anger are all coming out. Our sense of safety has been shaken. Re balancing under constant uncertainty is a challenge.
Please reach out to debrief and process how our new world is affecting you and your family. Be patient with yourself and those around you, the chaos and uncertainty makes all of us emotional and sensitive. You are reacting normally to a monumental change to your lifestyle and life plans.
As a Work-Life Balance Coach, I offer coaching and therapeutic psychotherapy for impactful results and peace of mind.
As a clinical counselor & life coach for over 20 years, I help people overcome life barriers to reach their full potential. Our fast-paced careers and chaotic personal lives can cause burnout. Learning to balance often takes a few honest conversations with an unbiased and non-judgmental counselor to regain control of your competing demands.
I use a variety of therapeutic models to assist you in finding peace and happiness. I customize our sessions to meet your needs and teach you simple ways to be mindful and control your emotional well-being.
My experience, education, and skills will help you handle the stress and challenges daily life and work can create. Join me for a safe hour to debrief and connect with your needs to make life easier.

Cynthia Roblin
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., R.P.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a clinically proven method for addressing a range of mental health concerns. For the past 3 years I have worked with clients presenting with a variety of personality disorders, life challenges/transitions, as well as relationship dynamics. Through a reparative therapeutic alliance we can work to understand the challenges you may be facing in your life. By exploring your past , we can connect what patterns and beliefs that may be hindering you today in order to improve your relationships with others and yourself. I am also under the supervision of a Feminist Supervisor and am expanding my modalities to include feminist therapy which really works to help understand the oppressive structures of patriarchy on both men and women and how they play out in our lives but with a particular focus on women's social justice and women's issues.
