Are you grappling with the question, "How do I overcome this?" A common hurdle individuals often articulate when discussing emotional distress is feeling immobilized. If you're encountering difficulties progressing in your career, relationships, or rediscovering lost joy in life, you might be grappling with unresolved trauma or unaddressed attachment needs. These challenges can manifest physically, such as chronic pain, headaches, or fatigue. We take the time to empathize with your unique journey that has led you here.
You might be navigating through anxiety, depression, or intense emotions like fear or anger. Ultimately, you might feel disconnected and wrestle with existential questions about your beliefs or purpose. Our aim is to offer the support you need to move forward. We endeavour to guide individuals towards a deeper understanding of themselves and how to authentically engage with the world around them.
Recognizing that addressing trauma requires vulnerability and emotional investment, we prioritize cultivating a safe, non-judgmental space for our clients. Our approach to trauma therapy is integrative, aiming for holistic healing. We follow a three-step process: 1) Building a comprehensive understanding of your experiences; 2) Crafting a personalized treatment plan; and 3) Assisting you in finding inner peace and resolution.

Brian Baumal
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
I lost 100lbs and currently kept it off for eight years (I started August 15, 2012). I know the challenges of wanting so desperately to change but being unable to do so. I also know the constant mind chatter that plagues people who want to improve their health but just can't seem to do so. As a therapist, I take these issues and challenges very seriously, and work with clients to successfully find ways to manage their weight and health.
I remember at my heaviest weight, I wanted to talk to someone who had been there, done that & understood I so badly wanted to change and my frustration at not changing. I wanted someone who could quiet my mind when it worried about my weight and help me gain control of my body and life. I know what it's like to start losing weight, only to abandon the effort shortly thereafter. If you repeat that pattern and put your health and quality of life at risk, then you likely feel that there are issues that need to be addressed psychologically - I can help!
Finally, I absolutely love what I do, and I hope it shows in every session that I have with my clients.

Dr. Nilgun Turkcan Ataoglu, BCT, RDT
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, Licensed & Registered Creative Arts Therapist
I am a Creative Arts Therapist, a Registered Drama Therapist - RDT, a Board-Certified Trainer - BCT, a supervisor and I am the founder and the director of Creative Arts Therapy Center…I have over 22 years of experience in promoting growth and healing through engagement in the arts.
Becoming a creative arts therapist has been long, extremely exciting and rewarding journey for me. Since I was a child, I was often expressing my thoughts and feelings through art, storytelling, role playing and writing poems, which made me to discover the healing power of arts at very early age. In 1999, when I found out about the MA Program in Creative Arts Therapies, at Concordia University, in Canada and I was accepted to the Master’s studies, my biggest dream came through. During my two years internships at McGill University Hospital, I became aware of my abilities to listen and have empathy towards others' suffering. After graduating and having for 11 years clinical experience, my motivation and curiosity about the field led me to start my PhD study in Expressive Therapies Program at Lesley University, in Boston. During my twenty-two years of clinical experience, I have privileged to help and to witness so many people to discover the meaning of their shattered life and to be empowered by creating and rewriting their life stories through drama, art, dance and music. To experience the honor of being entrusted with deepest secrets or overwhelming experiences also to experience with and to ''hold'' another human being through the process of healing, and transformation is the greatest reward one can experience.
