Fiona Matalon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
Are you seeking a more holistic and connected approach to healing and yearning for something much deeper than counselling sessions? Then Therapeutic Mentorship might be for you! Let's connect and discuss this offering for you!
Somatic therapy and inner child work reside at the core of my work. In session, we use the intelligence of the body in the present moment to allow a deeper exploration that goes beyond the everyday mind. Through this inner witness, we explore past and current relationships to dive deeper into our early wounding. By acknowledging and meeting our younger parts, we allow the pain to transform into self love and acceptance. This approach allows an organic process for our pain and suffering to be witnessed, transformed and integrated. The path of true change! When we are truly heard, seen and received by another human being, we come home to the feelings of belonging and acceptance – what we long for all our lives. I guide a self exploration that encourages deep curiosity to look at all parts of ourselves – the good, the dark, the painful and the joy-filled in a safe, non-judgemental space.

Darren Williamson
Pre-Licensed Professional
My goal in counselling is to help you to find what's missing in your life. Perhaps it is issues with identity, or ongoing conflicts in relationships, or a feeling of "stuckness." Mutual respect and trust are vital components to our work together. I offer a unique setting where we can work through the topics you bring in a non-judgmental way.

Tiffany Brown
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CCC
Being able to share our stories in safe places can help us to gain clarity, dissolve shame, feel more connected with ourselves and others and support our empowerment. I am honoured to provide this warm, compassionate, safe space for women and folks who've experienced abuse from a recent or past partner or any other form of gender-based violence. I will gently walk alongside you and together, in ways that centre your choice and at a pace that works for you, we will help you to lay your story down and connect with your experiences and yourself in ways that foster clarity, honour your voice, restore connection and trust, and sense of empowerment and wholeness within.

Katarina Guillen
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Life can be tough, especially if you are feeling stuck, alone, disconnected, burned out, or like something is missing. It takes a great deal of strength and commitment to work on your goals and your relationships, and you have taken an important step in making a change by looking for support. I believe that our lived experiences impact the way we interact with ourselves and others. In exploring these experiences, we can learn to grow, improve our relationships and communication, gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, and create meaningful change.
I offer online individual youth and adult psychotherapy. I am here to provide support and guidance for difficulties such as strain in relationships, anxiety, self-criticism, difficulty setting boundaries, lack of intimacy and connection, difficulties related to parenting or family dynamics, or if you would like to develop emotional insight and emotion regulation skills. I may also be a good fit if you would like to strengthen relationships, work to live your life more aligned with your values and goals, heal past relational pains, develop assertive communication skills, work effectively towards your goals, manage stress or burnout, explore how to increase self-compassion, or develop emotionally informed parenting skills.
I am committed to creating a supportive, collaborative, and compassionate environment in which you feel safe to explore the challenges you are facing. I value meeting you where you are at in your journey, and exploring steps towards meaningful change in your life. Everyone’s needs are different, please reach out to see if I would be a good fit for you!

Kristen Bailey Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Masters of Arts Counselling Psychology
Reaching out for support shows you are already aware that you are in some form of pain and you want to do something different. Your relationships may be struggling, you may feel disconnected, you may be experiencing thoughts and feelings that are feeling unmanageable or living in a state of shame. Over my time as a therapist (and in going through my own journey) I have seen how that what brings people toward truly feeling better is learning to be more self compassionate, building acceptance of their own story and how it has affected their life and developing a more peaceful relationship with the thoughts and feelings that they experience.
I am passionate about helping folks build a better relationship with themselves, which ultimately leads to better relationships with others and have witnessed and experienced how therapy really supports us with this.
