Vanessa Fingland
Counsellor/Therapist, CCPCPR.cand, RPC-C
Do you feel emotionally exhausted from always putting everyone else first? Perhaps you've been in a relationship with a narcissistic partner, struggle to set healthy boundaries, or feel trapped in cycles of perfectionism and people pleasing. You may look like you're coping on the outside while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or never quite "good enough" on the inside.
You don't have to continue carrying everything alone.
I specialize in helping adults recover from narcissistic abuse, emotional abuse, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and low self-worth. Together we'll work to understand the patterns that have kept you stuck, heal the wounds beneath them, and build healthier relationships with others and with yourself.
Many of my clients are caring, capable, high-functioning people who have spent years taking care of everyone else. They struggle with guilt when saying no, overthink conversations, question themselves after being gaslighted, or feel emotionally drained from unhealthy relationships. Therapy can help you reconnect with your confidence, trust your instincts, and create lasting change.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and practical. I integrate evidence-based therapies while tailoring each session to your unique experiences and goals. My focus is creating a safe, supportive space where you feel understood, not judged.
I can help with:
Narcissistic abuse recovery
Emotional abuse and toxic relationships
Gaslighting and relationship trauma
Burnout and chronic stress
People-pleasing
Perfectionism
Self-esteem and confidence
Boundaries
Anxiety
Women's issues
Life transitions
Relationship concerns
I provide secure virtual counselling for adults throughout Alberta, making therapy accessible wherever you live.
For those looking to make significant progress in a shorter period, I also offer extended Therapy Intensives. These longer sessions allow us to work deeply on long standing patterns and accelerate healing in a focused, supportive environment.
Reaching out for therapy takes courage. Whether you're beginning your healing journey or have tried therapy before, I'd be honoured to support you. Together, we can help you move beyond survival and create a life that feels calmer, more confident, and more authentic.

Freedom of Expression Counselling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RCSW, T.S., RPT, CPT
Everyone one has their own life experiences that have been undergone in their own way. I recognize uniqueness in everyone's life and that they have a deep need witnessed and honored in those experiences. My practice is about creating space for every individual's unique feelings, circumstances, and experiences without judgement or interpretation. We collaborate to find the deepest meanings within those experiences and we use that to find direction as how we would like to close a chapter or grow next. Healing from experiences is through finding meaning in them and integrating them into ourselves thereby enabling us to live deeper and more enriching lives.

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.

Chris Russell
Counsellor/Therapist, BA Psych, high honours, RCC
I am here for those in need, seeking wisdom and guidance with Love and Honesty. I have over three decades of experience in helping people understand their emotions, fears and psychic blocks towards success in relationships as well as personal success in life. Your first step is reaching out to someone, like myself; the second step is the inner work of self discovery, and honest acceptance of past pains and disappointments. Then the work towards change and growth and healing begins.
