Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
When we experience a stressor, such as a job interview or academic demands, a certain level of anxiety is common. However, when anxiety persists and for no obvious reason individuals often experience a reduced quality of life. Some symptoms of anxiety include restlessness/feeling on edge, racing heartbeat, excessive worrying, and avoiding situations that are anxiety provoking. For managing anxiety I introduce varying tools from different therapy models in order to help you gain control over your discomfort.

Dave Vass
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor: RCC
Anxiety and fear can derail us from the lives we want to have and keep us stuck in holding patterns. I help clients not only manage their anxiety better, but uncover the 'why' towards chronic conditions that may be signals from the unconscious towards unmet wants and needs. Incorporating a neuroscience-based perspective that includes experiential focus on the mind-body connection, we can charter a path to more freedom in your dialy life.

Darren Williamson
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC (#23397)
The modern world tells us that it is bad to feel fearful or anxious. "Be happy" is the message we have been given from childhood through school, through our family, through TV and social media, as if happiness is the default and all other emotions are dysfunctional. This is not true. Happiness is important, but living life with only happiness is like eating a diet of only sugar, or listening to a song that is only bass. We need the lows to give meaning to the highs.
Through therapy, I will help you better understand your fear and anxiety without shaming or stigmatizing it. Once we understand the role your fear and anxiety plays in your life, we will find ways to make it work for you. And once you are able to accept your emotions without needing to avoid them, your happiness will feel more meaningful.
"Happiness cannot be pursued, it can only ensue. One must have a reason to be happy... Doing so would be the same as urging people posed in front of a camera to say “cheese,” only to find that in the finished photographs their faces are frozen in artificial smiles." Victor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

Mikyla Bergman
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC
Anxiety has increased in its impacts on our society, especially among the younger generation leading me to deepen my understanding of anxiety’s effect on thoughts, emotions, and overall well-being. My counseling approach is designed to create a supportive and versatile space, recognizing the challenges and triggers that come with anxiety. Sessions focus on developing coping strategies, emotional regulation, and practical life skills to help manage stress and regain a sense of balance. Whether you’re looking to better understand your anxiety, build resilience, or develop tools to navigate daily challenges, I’m here to support you with compassion and evidence-based strategies.
Anxiety is far reaching and I aim to work alongside you to minimize the impact on emotional regulation, heightened stress responses, avoidance behaviors, and difficulty managing uncertainty. I also focus on the physical manifest as restlessness, fatigue, tension, or even panic, affecting overall well-being and daily functioning.

Dena Marie Counselling & EMDR Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, MEd, RCC
I help clients address anxiety and fears by using EMDR to gently process the experiences and memories that contribute to ongoing worry or panic. This approach allows your brain to reframe and release the intensity of these emotions, helping you feel calmer, more grounded, and better able to face daily challenges with confidence and ease.
