Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
Every parent and every child is different, which means parenting challenges are endlessly varied—and endlessly exhausting. Drawing on my extensive experience as a life skills coach and my own journey as a mother and grandmother, I help you navigate whatever stage you're in: toddler meltdowns, teen rebellion, blended family conflicts, or adult children struggles. We'll address both the practical strategies and the emotional wounds underneath your parenting patterns. You'll receive personalized book recommendations, learn approaches that fit your family's unique dynamics, and work toward personal growth that benefits everyone. Better parenting starts with understanding yourself—your triggers, your history, and your capacity for change.

Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
Walking that line between structure and discipline and allowing your children to grow and explore on their own is not easy. Finding that 'balance' - and still finding time for yourself and for your career and partner - needs the support of community not always available to help. I will listen to you while you find your own unique way, occasionally drawing on and sharing my experience as a mother, single parent, foster parent, wife, daughter and career woman. Being a parent is not only the most important job, I think it's also (perhaps) the hardest job (to do well). I believe an important part of parenting is to teach children to be curious, mindful, accepting and respectful of the world and to help them understand their own needs and how to address and fill those needs, themselves, by the time they reach adulthood.

Suzanne St. John Smith
Counsellor/Therapist, M.A., M.A. (Psych.) FEA, C.C.C Relationship and Family Therapist; Life Coach
When working with clients experiencing parenting challenges, I help them explore the emotional and relational dynamics at play — both within the parent–child relationship and within themselves. Together, we look beneath the surface of behavior to understand what’s really being communicated, fostering greater empathy, patience, and self-awareness. My approach emphasizes strengthening connection, setting healthy boundaries, and developing practical strategies that align with the family’s values. Ultimately, the goal is to support parents in feeling more confident, grounded, and attuned — creating a home environment where both they and their children can thrive.

North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Relationships with family members can be particularly complex. With family, we often fall into old roles that may no longer serve us. You may be grieving the loss of a relationship you wished you had with a family member, or struggling with conflict and hurt feelings that keep getting re-triggered in each encounter. You may be facing challenges with parenting or trying to figure out the best ways to support your children. Relationship counselling can help you sort through the complexities of family dynamics, understand old roles and how you get pulled into them while working towards setting healthy boundaries in order to create more harmonious family dynamics.

Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
I support parents in understanding that children’s behavior is often an expression of unmet needs rather than something to control or correct. Instead of relying on discipline alone, we work on strengthening connection, responding to emotions with presence and understanding, and maintaining parental leadership through relationship rather than force. An important part of this work also involves parents becoming more aware of their own patterns, so they can show up in a more grounded and connected way with their children.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you are navigating parenting, you may feel stretched in ways you never anticipated. You want to respond with patience and wisdom, yet stress, fatigue, and your own history can surface in the hardest moments. You may question whether you are doing enough, doing it right, or unintentionally repeating patterns you hoped to change.
At Selah Counselling, we support parents with compassion and practical guidance. We understand that parenting activates your own attachment history and nervous system. Together, we explore your child’s needs alongside your responses to help you build regulation, consistent boundaries, and connected communication. Our goal is not perfection. It is steadiness. We help you parent from awareness rather than reaction, strengthening the relationship with your child while also caring for your own emotional health.

Liz Witzke
Registered Psychotherapist, RPQ, BA, LLB, CSAT, CPTT
The process of raising children can be fraught with questions, uncertainty and it can bring up parts of ourselves that we didn't know were there or that we had promised ourselves we would never let come out with our own children. We try to balance protection, care and responsiveness and sometimes we lack support, knowledge or positive examples of how to have the kind of parent-child relationship we desire. I have four children of my own and can relate. I am here to help you connect the dots, weigh the issues, process your past and family or origin traits to come into the role of parent in a way that feels grounded, positive and authentically you.

Parenting is deeply rewarding, but it can also be one of the hardest roles we take on. From managing daily stress to navigating your child’s emotions and behaviors, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed at times. I provide evidence-based support using approaches such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help parents strengthen coping skills, set healthy boundaries, and parent in ways that align with their values. Together, we’ll work on creating a calmer, more connected family life.
