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.

Brandi Rosgen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, B.Ed, MACP, MPCC
I help people alleviate anxiety and depression, as well as create relationship transformations.
Stress is part of life, but struggling relationships, anxiety and depression do not need to be. I help people change their stories and the trajectory of their lives by helping them decrease depression, anxiety, and relationship concerns. Most importantly, I help people learn how to sustain and maintain their happiness and peace. The goal is not less suffering. The goal is to know how to sustain and maintain happiness and peace.
If you're having trouble getting ahead of your thoughts, emotions, or behaviours know that relief is possible, and success can be made inevitable.
If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or in your relationships, know that you deserve more than just relief. You deserve lasting change that you know how to sustain, maintain and grow.
In the relationship counselling, there is a focus on helping individuals and couples create a second version of their relationship. The second version may be working through reconciliation after infidelity, learning how to co-parent, deciding to stay or go, working through separation and on separation agreements, or reconnecting after years of disconnection.
In anxiety or depression counselling, there is a focus on mental and emotional struggle and learning how define and create happiness and peace. There is special attention given to learning to sustain and maintain this peace and happiness in the future.

Kaylei Murray
Registered Psychotherapist, CRPO, ACTA
Reconnection is at the heart of my work.
Many of the individuals and couples I support are thoughtful, capable, and high-functioning, yet find themselves feeling disconnected, whether from themselves or within their relationships. Often, this disconnection doesn’t happen all at once. It develops gradually through patterns that once served a purpose, but over time begin to create distance, pressure, or uncertainty.
My approach to therapy is grounded, relational, and attachment-informed. I focus on helping clients understand the underlying patterns shaping their thoughts, emotions, and interactions, not to assign blame, but to create clarity. This includes exploring what is being said, as well as what may be harder to access or express.
I aim to create a space that feels both safe and engaged. Alongside attunement and support, I offer gentle challenge to help clients move beyond familiar patterns and toward more intentional ways of relating. In our work together, we slow things down. We make sense of emotional responses, attachment dynamics, and survival strategies, so that change feels meaningful and sustainable, rather than forced Whether you are seeking individual support or navigating challenges within your relationship, therapy can be a space to reconnect, rebuild trust, and move forward with greater awareness.
