Suzanne St. John Smith
Counsellor/Therapist, M.A., M.A. (Psych.) FEA, C.C.C Relationship and Family Therapist; Life Coach
The reason clients return time after time, and year after year, is due to the fact that I've made it a priority to build a strong connection with them. I listen, I guide them when they ask, and I'm honest with my feedback. Simply, they trust me. and nothing could be more important to me or to them. And because my work has always felt like both an honour and a gift, I value the opportunity of being brought into the emotional lives of my clients where I can offer them the kind of safe space they may not have ever experienced previously.

Sarah Bickle
Registered Psychotherapist, MPsy., R.P.
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I know how difficult it can be to navigate the complexities of life, especially when trauma, relationships, or identity issues weigh heavy on your heart. I’m here to offer you a safe, affirming space where you can begin the process of healing, at your own pace, and on your own terms.
Whether you’re navigating the aftermath of sexual trauma, exploring your LGBTQ+ identity, or simply seeking to understand the patterns in your life that no longer serve you, I am committed to walking beside you through every step of the journey. You don’t have to do this alone. In therapy with me, you’ll experience a unique blend of evidence-based therapies, creative techniques, and a deeply empathetic, collaborative approach. I’ll work with you to find what resonates, whether it’s EMDR, psychodynamic exploration, somatic therapy, meditation, or a combination of tools that evolve as your needs shift. My work is rooted in trauma-informed care, meaning I always respect your pace, your boundaries, and your journey. We’ll create a space where your healing is not just possible, but empowered.
I offer flexible evening and late-night sessions, making it easier for you to prioritize your well-being—even with a busy schedule. My online practice allows me to meet you where you are, whether that’s through Zoom or telephone, and I’m fully committed to being present with you during our sessions—so you get the support you deserve when you need it most.
With over a decade in mental health, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of individuals. From my early days supporting Haitian refugees abroad, to my experience working with neurodiverse young adults and seniors, I have helped people from many walks of life navigate complex emotions, trauma, and identity. While I specialize in sexual trauma and LGBTQ+ care, I believe healing is unique to each person—and I’m here to support you, no matter your background, experience, or life stage. Whether you’re exploring deep emotional patterns, working through trauma, or seeking more connection in your relationships, I’m committed to adapting my approach to meet your needs and helping you move forward at your own pace.
If you’re ready to begin this journey, take the first step today—together, we’ll find the path that works best for you. I’m here to help you heal, grow, and thrive.

Linda Szeto
Therapist, RCC, CCC
I believe therapy should make room for the full context of our lives, including the experiences, relationships, and systems that shape us. My approach is grounded in social justice and a commitment to affirming care. I work collaboratively and relationally, drawing on experiential and somatic approaches to help clients explore their experiences, better understand themselves, and process trauma.
My work is primarily trauma-focused, integrating EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, and somatic regulation techniques. Our work can include exploration, curiosity, and making sense of your experiences, alongside deeper trauma work when you're ready. I have a strong focus on concussion recovery and a particular interest in supporting People of the Global Majority, 2SLGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent folks, people living with chronic illness and disability, and frontline healthcare professionals. I also offer direct billing to ICBC for eligible counselling sessions.
I offer online counselling through a secure video platform.

Heron Payne Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, RTC
I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely understood, respected, and able to be yourself. My style is warm, thoughtful, and collaborative, with space for both reflection and honest conversation. I don’t see people as problems to be fixed; I’m interested in understanding how your experiences have shaped the ways you protect yourself, relate to others, and move through the world. Together, we can slow things down, notice what’s happening beneath the surface, and make room for changes that feel meaningful and sustainable. I bring mindfulness, somatic awareness, and parts work into sessions, while adapting the process to who you are and what feels most useful to you.

Cayla Townes, Memento Psychotherapy & Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
What if the way you see yourself isn’t the truth—but a story shaped by past wounds?
Our sense of self is shaped by early experiences, especially in relationships. If you grew up feeling unseen, unsafe, or unworthy, those feelings don’t just fade—they shape your choices, beliefs, and relationships. Maybe you struggle with anxiety, depression, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or self-doubt. These patterns didn’t come from nowhere—they were ways your mind and body learned to cope. But they don’t have to define you.
Healing is possible. Using a relational, trauma-informed approach rooted in attachment theory, complex PTSD recovery, and memory reconsolidation, I help people rewrite the beliefs that keep them stuck. Therapy isn’t about fixing what’s "wrong"—it’s about understanding and transforming the impact of what’s happened to you.
Together, we’ll explore the deeper patterns shaping your life, so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and self-compassion—not just managing symptoms, but truly healing at the core.
You deserve to feel safe, connected, and whole. If this resonates with you, let’s talk. Book a free consultation today.
