Somatic Healing Arts, Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MA-ExAT
Healing is not a linear path — it’s a creative, embodied unfolding. As an Expressive Arts and Somatic Therapist, I offer a space where movement, image, sound, and story come together to help you reconnect with your body’s wisdom and your inner voice. Through gentle curiosity and creative exploration, we work to release what has been held, rediscover your resilience, and move toward a greater sense of aliveness and wholeness.
Whether you are navigating stress, trauma, transitions, or simply longing to feel more connected to yourself, our sessions invite you to listen deeply — not just with your mind, but with your whole being.

Birgit Schreiber Dr
Psychologist, PhD and MA in Psychology
I deeply enjoy offering psychotherapy because it provides a powerful and accessible medium, where we can share and uncover, allowing me to assist people to live a meaningful and fulfilling life with with joy, resilience and growth. It’s an incredible privilege to create a safe and compassionate space where someone feels seen, heard and understood, often for the first time. Being part of a journey where individuals uncover their inner strengths, navigate challenges and gain a deeper understanding of themselves, reduce their symptoms and address problems is profoundly rewarding. I have 25 years of experience in psychotherapy (with PhD) and my approach is built on gentleness, openness, acceptance and curiosity, and together we find ways to disentangle, understand, manage, and change unhelpful patterns, overwhelming feelings, challenging conditions, or past experiences that can hold us entrapped. I recommend an initial consultation to get to know each other. I pursue a multimodal therapy approach and have extensive knowledge in dealing with psychological, social, relational, family and professional problems. My specialisations include, among others:
• Stress management, coping strategies and burnout prevention
• Reactions to any stress, including relational, social, familial, personal and professional
• Anxiety disorders and related symptoms
• Depressions and related challenges around mood
• Challenges in professional life, especially during career changes and in leadership positions
• Adjustment disorders, losses, separation, trauma and other life changes
• Problems in interpersonal relationships, partner and family challenges
I prefer to work in an active and collaborative way. Together we find ways to understand and change some aspects in your life, in sustainable ways. Please feel free to reach out and write to me with any questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you.

Liz Witzke
Registered Psychotherapist, RPQ, BA, LLB, CSAT, CPTT
Has someone close to you caused you harm? Whether it was a partner, spouse, or someone you loved and trusted, the betrayal can leave you feeling shocked, heartbroken, and unsteady. It may feel as though the ground has shifted beneath you, leading you to question what you once felt certain about. Emotions often come in waves - anger, grief, fear, confusion, or numbness - and carrying all of this can feel overwhelming. These responses are natural, and it’s okay if you’re feeling lost right now. My role is to support you in understanding what has happened and start finding steadier ground again.

Jonah Fialkow
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
Although many people prefer the connection of in-person therapy, online therapy offers many unexpected benefits. As a clinician, I appreciate getting to see people in the comfort of their own home and meet their pets. Sometimes seeing someone in their own space helps me understand things about them that I otherwise would not. It can be a helpful tool for busy people to get to therapy appointments regularly without worrying about travel time - I often see busy professionals over lunch. For people in remote locations, it can make specialized therapy more accessible.

Liz Dean
Registered Social Worker, M.S.W., R.S.W
Feeling alone? I would love to support you with therapy personalized to you and your unique needs. Sometimes we find ourselves feeling disconnected, insecure, anxious, angry, sad and exhausted - at ourselves, the world, our family and friends. We don't know what to do about it and it can make us feel utterly alone. Together we can find a path forward so you can move more easily and authentically through life. I work with people experiencing struggles like self-doubt, loneliness, anxiety, depression, ADHD, chronic pain or illness, emotional dysregulation and difficulties in relationships or new stages of life.
My style is direct and genuinely non-judgemental. You will hear me say “that makes sense because…” a lot. My goal is to create a space where you can understand what is going on in your life. Because when we understand and accept where we are, we can begin to see a different path for our future - and begin to like ourselves and our lives life more.
