Lorna Barnes, Oak Tree Counselling
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CT, CPC
I find clients are looking to understand themselves, to find reasons they struggle the way they do, and discover how they got where they are. We've all been influenced by our experiences, whether good or bad. Good healthy experiences give us the tools and confidence to navigate life, but what happens when our experiences have been far from good? A child experiencing abuse, trauma, loss, and neglect believes they deserve it or it's their fault, not knowing the adults in their lives are responsible to help them feel secure and confident. Negative childhood experiences often throw individuals into feeling too much responsibility, becoming people pleasers, carrying much shame and guilt, feeling like a burden, social awkwardness, experiencing cognitive distortions, depression, addictions, loss of identity, anxiety and panic disorders, inter-relational problems, lack of confidence, and a lack of boundaries. Clients need to know they're not to blame and there's hope to experience a healthier and purposeful life, the life they were meant to have. Clients need to know they belong, they matter and are not a mistake. If you want to find freedom, purpose, contentment, and healing schedule a 30 minute free consultation to explore whether we'd be a good fit to journey together to a better you.

Nicholas Breitenbach
Psychologist, R. Psych, CST, MA, BA
I offer a warm, straightforward, and non-judgmental space where you can talk about the things that are often hardest to say out loud - sex, intimacy, conflict, trust, desire, and the patterns that keep showing up in your relationships. My approach is trauma-informed and affirming, blending clinical skill with real-life practicality (and the occasional well-timed bit of humor). Whether you’re coming in as an individual or as a couple, we’ll work together to build clarity, confidence, and connection, so your relationships can feel safer, healthier, and more satisfying.

Mariya Garnet
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist ( Qualifying)
When everything looks right but something still feels off, somatic, trauma-focused therapy is where the work begins.
You already recognize the pattern. Understanding it hasn't closed the gap between knowing and feeling, because the real shift happens in the body, not the story.
Maybe you've done therapy already, and you still don't have what you came for: the ability to make a decision without arguing with yourself, to feel present in your own life, to sleep without your mind still running.
What this supports, over time, is a slow and gentle return to aliveness.

Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
I am a trauma-informed, somatic, intuitive therapist supporting women, individuals, and couples - who are seeking deeper, root-cause healing for emotional, relational, and spiritual concerns. I often work with highly sensitive, empathic, intuitive, or neurodivergent clients, including mothers, caregivers, creatives, entrepreneurs, and professionals in helping roles, demanding careers, or leadership positions. Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, spiritual exploration, or periods of personal transformation. My approach integrates somatic work, compassionate and empowering talk therapy, nervous system healing, inner child work, energy healing, and more, to help you move beyond symptom relief toward greater inner safety, self-trust, and authenticity, and mind-body-spirit health and wellbeing.
