Sam Duran
Counsellor/Therapist, MAMFT, RCC, EMDR-Trained
Finding the right counsellor involves more than choosing a treatment approach. It means finding someone who will take the time to understand your experiences, concerns, relationships, and what matters to you. I work with adults and couples facing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, and other challenging life experiences. My approach combines evidence-based therapy with compassion, thoughtful exploration, and honest reflection. Whether you are seeking relief from distress, healing from painful experiences, or greater understanding of patterns that have been difficult to change, counselling can offer a place to begin moving toward meaningful and lasting change.

Reema Qamar
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC, CCC
Our life experiences—especially those marked by adversity, trauma, loss, or difficult relationships—shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. When painful experiences remain unresolved, they can contribute to anxiety, depression, self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, persistent rumination, and deeply ingrained negative thinking patterns. Many people find themselves feeling disconnected from who they truly are, struggling to trust themselves, build healthy relationships, or find peace in the present.
My passion is helping individuals reconnect with themselves, heal from the impact of adverse life experiences, and cultivate a life guided by self-compassion, resilience, and authenticity. I understand that healing is not about "getting over" what has happened—it is about understanding how your experiences have shaped you, making sense of your emotional responses, and developing new ways of thinking, feeling, and relating to yourself and others.
I believe that much of our emotional suffering arises when we struggle to reconcile the gap between our lived reality and our expectations of ourselves, others, or life itself. Over time, this struggle can lead to self-criticism, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, and a sense of disconnection. Together, we can explore these patterns with curiosity rather than judgment, helping you move away from surviving and toward genuinely living.
Whether you are coping with the effects of childhood adversity, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or a persistent inner critic, I will walk alongside you with compassion, empathy, and respect. My goal is to help you gain clarity, strengthen emotional resilience, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and replace cycles of rumination and self-doubt with greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, and confidence.
I believe every individual is the expert on their own life and already possesses the capacity for growth and healing. My role is not to tell you who to become, but to create a safe, collaborative, and trusting therapeutic relationship where your strengths, values, and inner wisdom can emerge. Together, we will work at a pace that feels right for you, honouring your experiences while helping you build practical tools to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and emotional balance.
I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Therapy is a space where you can bring your whole self—your fears, hopes, struggles, and strengths—and know that you will be met with compassion, validation, and genuine care. Healing is a journey, and you do not have to walk it alone.

Tracey MacKenzie
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CCC #7392
Life can be really challenging at times and while we love our family and friends, they tend to give advice rather than practical tools for navigating those challenges. Sometimes they even get upset when we don't do what they tell us to! Therapy is different -- you get an unbiased listener who will teach those practical skills and offer realistic suggestions, rather than advice. Best of all, you will feel supported regardless of your decision. Whether you just want someone to bounce ideas off of, to finally start working on those unprocessed traumatic memories that we can't just "get over", or anything in between, I offer a safe place to work through your unique situation on your timeline. You will never feel pressured to talk about something that you aren't ready to, but you will feel supported enough to do so. I'm looking forward to meeting with you!
