Jasmine Gill Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC
I believe that our emotions carry important meaning, even when they feel overwhelming or difficult to understand. Much of my work is rooted in the idea that healing happens when we feel safe enough to slow down and truly experience what’s beneath the surface.
I aim to create a space that feels warm, collaborative, and grounded in curiosity - where all parts of you are welcome. Together, we explore the patterns and emotional experiences that have shaped your life, helping you make sense of them with compassion rather than judgment.
Therapy with me is not about “fixing” you, but about understanding you. Through this process, my hope is that you begin to feel more connected to yourself, more confident in your emotions, and more able to move through life with clarity and intention.

Louis Lin, Owner & Founder of Cicada Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor
Have you ever rushed out the door only to realize you forgot something or spilled coffee all over yourself? Have you ever said to yourself, “I'm tired of feeling this way/ I shouldn’t be feeling like this,” yet the feelings persist and sometimes come back stronger? These may seem like two distinct, unrelated instances I am raising, but I parallel them with how we often approach our problems: we tend to want to rush through them or judge ourselves for having the emotions and reactions to the difficulties life tosses at us. I’m here to propose an alternative: your feelings are valid, no matter what you’re seeking help for.
We rarely move through life with intention and space to slow down and reflect. I see counselling as a dedicated space created for you by you to get curious about yourself, tend to the parts that need some fine-tuning and updates, and process some uncomfortable emotions that the outside world doesn’t always give space for.
I offer 15-minute complimentary consultations for all clients who are interested in working with me. Looking up therapists is a big step – in my opinion, you are already halfway from where you began to where you would like to be!

As a Registered Psychotherapist and Clinical Director of Switzer Counselling & Psychotherapy Associates, I am passionate about providing compassionate, client-centered care that supports meaningful healing and personal growth.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. I integrate modalities such as EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and personality disorder treatment to help clients build resilience, strengthen relationships, and process difficult life experiences in a safe and supportive environment.
I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey built on trust, empathy, and authenticity. My goal is to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward lasting change and emotional well-being.
In addition to my clinical work, I am committed to supporting the growth of the psychotherapy profession through clinical supervision and mentorship of registered professionals and Master’s-level interns. I value ongoing learning, professional development, and fostering strong therapeutic relationships that promote healing and hope.

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.
