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.

Rachael Burnett
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP
Therapy can be a journey of coming home to yourself. Carl Jung once suggested that until we bring our unconscious patterns to light, they may often shape our lives behind the scenes. Throughout our lives, we often outgrow old versions of ourselves, yet find it hard to shed the outdated habits, roles, or expectations that no longer fit who we are today. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to walk alongside you as we gently explore these patterns together, cultivating deeper self-awareness and self-compassion along the way.
I strive to offer a warm, non-judgmental space that welcomes all parts of your identity, background, and lived experience. Healing isn’t a race. While therapy can sometimes bring up challenging emotions, my commitment is to help you navigate your inner world at a pace that feels safe, respectful, and comfortable for you.

Lydia Bennett
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, BA Psychology
My passion for psychotherapy comes from my own experiences with relationships. I’ve learned that our greatest joys—and our toughest struggles—often come from the connections we share with parents, partners, children, friends, and colleagues. These relationships shape not only how we see the world but also how we experience ourselves.

Kendra Anselmo Counselling
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I believe that our struggles make sense in the context of what we've lived through. Whether you're feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety, people-pleasing, self-criticism, or painful relationships, therapy can be a place to slow down, understand yourself more deeply, and begin to heal at the root.
My approach is relational, compassionate, and trauma-informed, integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, mindfulness, and attachment-based perspectives. Rather than focusing only on symptom management, I work collaboratively with clients to explore the protective patterns that once helped them survive while creating space for lasting change.
I strive to create a therapeutic relationship where you feel genuinely seen, accepted, and supported. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you can reconnect with yourself, develop greater self-compassion, and move toward a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and connected.
