Kevin Jones
Psychologist, MACP
Kevin’s path to becoming a therapist wasn’t a straight line—it was a discovery of who he truly is and how he wants to contribute to the world. He initially followed the direction his parents encouraged, completing an undergraduate degree in psychology before moving into law. As a lawyer in a full-service firm, he found himself drawn not to the adversarial side of the work, but to the problem-solving, collaboration, and human connection that naturally unfolded when helping clients navigate difficult decisions.
Over time, Kevin realized that the parts of law he loved most—listening, understanding, and working together toward solutions—were exactly the pieces that aligned with his values and strengths. He began to ask himself how can I make this the whole job? That question ultimately led him back to psychology, where a collaborative, solution-focused approach could become the foundation of his work. Therapy, he realized, was where he could fully lean into who he is: calm, thoughtful, curious, and deeply oriented toward helping people move forward with clarity.
Kevin’s shift into couples counselling grew naturally out of his experience in divorce law. He often saw relationships break down not because of a lack of love, but because communication had eroded long before either partner sought help. Witnessing this was disheartening—it highlighted how many couples were struggling without support and how preventable many of those ruptures could have been.
As a therapist, Kevin now has the opportunity to be on the other side of that process. Couples counselling allows him to help partners strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and rediscover connection before the relationship reaches a breaking point. It’s meaningful work that aligns with both his professional insight and his personal desire to help people stay connected rather than fall apart.
Today, Kevin brings the best of both worlds—his background in psychology and his experience in law—into a grounded, practical, and deeply human therapeutic style. He is committed to creating a space where individuals and couples can understand themselves, improve their relationships, and navigate life’s complexities with confidence.

Francisca Carrasco - Compassionate Healing
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, CCC. M.Psych
You may look capable on the outside, yet feel constantly tense, self-critical, or emotionally exhausted on the inside. I work with adults who are tired of pushing themselves and want a calmer, more grounded relationship with their thoughts and emotions. My therapy style is warm, structured, and collaborative, combining compassion-focused therapy and mindfulness to help you build inner safety, clarity, and resilience. I offer a supportive space where change happens gently, without judgment or pressure.

Laura Hall, Red Rock Psychology
Psychologist, MC, R.Psych
I offer comprehensive psychoeducational, ADHD, and gifted assessments. I approach assessments as a collaborative and thoughtful process, using evidence-based tools to better understand how you think, learn, and function. My goal is to provide not just answers, but meaningful insights and clear, practical recommendations that you can apply in everyday life. In therapy, I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build emotional regulation and interpersonal skills, and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) to develop practical, goal-oriented strategies for change. I also integrate Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy to support present-moment awareness and stress reduction, along with Emotionally Focused Therapy to deepen emotional understanding and strengthen relationships. Whether I’m working with you in therapy or through an assessment, I strive to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
