Tina Presta
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA MPCC- Provisional, CCPCPR.Cand
You don’t have to have your life perfectly figured out, and things don’t need to look flawless on paper to justify seeking support. Sometimes, you just feel a persistent sense that something is off, even if you can’t quite put your finger on it right now. Whether you are a creative, an entrepreneur, a business owner, a mother, or a father, it is incredibly common to find yourself quietly exhausted, feeling stuck, or questioning if the way you’ve been living actually works for you anymore. You might just feel ready for a change and a return to who you truly are.Traditional talk therapy is wonderful, but often the root of our pain or patterns lives deeper than words can reach. In my practice, I utilize Brainspotting—a powerful, neuro-experiential modality that serves as a way of working through deep-seated issues without having to talk through them endlessly. By integrating Brainspotting with nervous system regulation, CBT, and somatic tools, we look beneath the surface to safely locate and process hidden emotional stress, anxiety, or stored trauma. Together, we will finally take down the heavy things that have been "sitting on the shelf" for years, gently breaking them down into manageable, bite-sized pieces so your nervous system never feels overwhelmed.I support individuals navigating:A general sense of "stuckness," low mood, or a lost direction—even if it's hard to nameThe everyday pressures of running a business, creative burnout, or parenting demandsGently processing early life dynamics or long-standing patterns that still echo in your life todayReclaiming your personal boundaries and safely reconnecting with your body after times of stress or disruption. Overcoming deep-seated people-pleasing patterns, self-doubt, and an absence of self-compassionIf you’re feeling unseen or simply ready for something to shift, I’m here to support you. Together, we’ll create a supportive, collaborative path forward. I offer individual online therapy as well as healing group therapy sessions designed to help you reconnect and grow.

Shannon MacGregor
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, RTC, MTC, RCS, NARM Therapist
My goal as a Transpersonal Therapist, is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns, or negative perceptions, that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Anna Vaisser Psychotherapy
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, MEd, RCC
Life can feel confusing, heavy, or overwhelming—but you don’t have to navigate it alone. In my counselling practice, I offer a calm, thoughtful space where you can untie the inner knots that keep you stuck, understand yourself more deeply, and build the resilience to face life with greater breath and grace. Drawing on neuroscience, trauma‑informed therapy, and mindful awareness, I help you make sense of your patterns, soften anxiety and tension, and reconnect with your inner strength. Clients often tell me they feel lighter, clearer, and more able to make meaningful choices after our work together. If you’re ready for compassionate guidance and lasting change, I’d be honoured to support your journey.

Fiona Matalon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
If you're looking for long lasting change and finally breaking patterns, I'd love to support you. "Somatic counselling with Fiona is bringing change to my life in a powerful and profound way. I can't explain what exactly is happening inside me, it isn't the work I'm used to doing in counselling, and yet when the connection happens and release comes I feel like I have unloaded years worth of heavy emotions. My life is naturally shifting in ways that I never imagined possible, my body has started to process emotion differently, I am thinking about life differently, and I feel powerful. I am shifting in ways that I never imagined."

Ferzana Jamani
Counsellor/Therapist, BA, RTC
I want you to know me beyond my credentials. I grew up feeling invisible and inadequate, struggling with anxiety and low mood, and limiting beliefs that tainted my relationships. It took volunteering and self-reflection to recognize my own worth and seek help. It was a journey of healing for me too, as I confronted my insecurities and found connection and purpose and my dedication in serving others. Now, as a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, I’m committed to guiding you with care and compassion. Therapy with me consists of transpersonal and somatic techniques focusing on your growth, emotional experiences and connecting your body and mind. Together we will explore your inner emotional experiences to help you repair the pain you have experienced and support you in feeling seen, heard and ultimately thrive, honouring your pace and vulnerabilities every step of the way.
I offer personalized sessions to address your unique needs, fostering insight and resilience. In a safe and supportive space, I provide active listening and empathy to build trust. Equipping you with tools for stress management, communication, and self-esteem, we navigate challenges together. Taking the first step toward therapy can be transformative; I invite you to schedule a FREE introductory consultation. Let’s unlock your potential and create positive change, empowering you to embrace the life you deserve.
