Sam Duran
Counsellor/Therapist, MAMFT, RCC, EMDR-Trained
Life can become difficult when painful experiences, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, or patterns that seem difficult to change begin to affect how you feel, relate to others, and move through daily life. You do not have to navigate these concerns without meaningful support. I work with adults and couples, offering a compassionate and respectful space where your experiences are taken seriously and you are understood as a whole person, rather than reduced to a diagnosis or label. Together, we can explore what may be keeping you stuck, work through painful experiences, strengthen important relationships, and develop healthier ways of moving forward. My approach combines evidence-based therapy with compassion, thoughtful exploration, and honest reflection, including but not limited to EMDR, the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), Christian faith-based approaches when desired, and trauma-informed practice. My goal is to help you gain greater understanding, experience meaningful change, and move forward with greater clarity and hope.

Reema Qamar
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC, CCC
Our life experiences—especially those marked by adversity, trauma, loss, or difficult relationships—shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. When painful experiences remain unresolved, they can contribute to anxiety, depression, self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, persistent rumination, and deeply ingrained negative thinking patterns. Many people find themselves feeling disconnected from who they truly are, struggling to trust themselves, build healthy relationships, or find peace in the present.
My passion is helping individuals reconnect with themselves, heal from the impact of adverse life experiences, and cultivate a life guided by self-compassion, resilience, and authenticity. I understand that healing is not about "getting over" what has happened—it is about understanding how your experiences have shaped you, making sense of your emotional responses, and developing new ways of thinking, feeling, and relating to yourself and others.
I believe that much of our emotional suffering arises when we struggle to reconcile the gap between our lived reality and our expectations of ourselves, others, or life itself. Over time, this struggle can lead to self-criticism, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, and a sense of disconnection. Together, we can explore these patterns with curiosity rather than judgment, helping you move away from surviving and toward genuinely living.
Whether you are coping with the effects of childhood adversity, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or a persistent inner critic, I will walk alongside you with compassion, empathy, and respect. My goal is to help you gain clarity, strengthen emotional resilience, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and replace cycles of rumination and self-doubt with greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, and confidence.
I believe every individual is the expert on their own life and already possesses the capacity for growth and healing. My role is not to tell you who to become, but to create a safe, collaborative, and trusting therapeutic relationship where your strengths, values, and inner wisdom can emerge. Together, we will work at a pace that feels right for you, honouring your experiences while helping you build practical tools to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and emotional balance.
I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Therapy is a space where you can bring your whole self—your fears, hopes, struggles, and strengths—and know that you will be met with compassion, validation, and genuine care. Healing is a journey, and you do not have to walk it alone.

Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
Whatever happened to you, something covered the authentic you. Let's find it.
You've been managing. Keeping it together. Showing up for everyone who needs you, handling what needs to be handled, and quietly wondering why it still feels like something is missing or wrong.
Maybe you've survived something hard. Maybe you can't quite name what's weighing on you, but you feel it. Maybe life looks fine from the outside, and that almost makes it harder to explain.
I became a therapist because I know what it feels like to need support and not receive it. I also know what it feels like to finally find it, and how much that changes everything. My own experience with trauma, addiction, and recovery shapes how I show up: with genuine warmth, without judgment, and with a deep belief that people can move forward no matter how stuck they feel right now.
I work with an integrative, person-centered approach and view anxiety, depression, and addiction by looking at underlying trauma. I want to find the root with you and heal the problem, not just manage symptoms.
Of course, how struggles show up is different for everyone, I don't believe there can be one-size-fits-all solutions. I listen to your story, understand you through how you survived, and work with you on the patterns that keep showing up. I want to truly listen and help you ask, and answer, "What do you really want now?"
If you've been waiting for a sign to reach out, this is it. I'd love to hear from you.

Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Life can feel overwhelming at times, leaving you feeling disconnected, uncertain, or stretched thin. I provide a space where you can slow down and explore what’s happening beneath the surface. Therapy can help uncover the ways we have been coping and the patterns of behaviour that we continue to use.
I work with people who are struggling with trauma, including sexual assault, childhood abuse and family estrangement. I also work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, perfectionism, relationship concerns, chronic illness/chronic pain, issues with self-worth and grief/loss. I also hold space for individuals who are going through all the life transitions that we go through from our late teens to 40s.
I believe healing happens through connection and safety. Together, we’ll gently explore the beliefs, patterns, and experiences that have shaped you—especially those formed early in life. By understanding their roots, you can begin to reconnect with your authentic self and your body’s wisdom. My approach is warm, collaborative and honest. I am genuinely interested in what is going on for my clients and will wade through the messiness that is life with you.
In our work together, I focus on the mind-body connection within a trauma-informed, client-centred space. We’ll process experiences, build insight, and develop practical tools for navigating life’s challenges, supporting meaningful, lasting change. I pull from Adlerian Therapy, Internal Family Systems, EMDR and somatic approaches to understand my client’s world.
If this resonates with you, and you’re ready to take the next step toward your growth and well-being, reach out to book a free consultation or initial session. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you in your healing journey.
