Somatic Healing Arts, Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MA-ExAT
I believe that healing is a creative and embodied process. As an expressive arts and somatic therapist, I am guided by the understanding that our bodies, emotions, and imaginations hold profound wisdom. In my work, I invite movement, image, sound, and story to help people discover new pathways to resilience, connection, and self-understanding.
My approach is gentle, collaborative, and rooted in curiosity. I support clients in tuning into the signals of their bodies, exploring their inner landscapes, and expressing what may be difficult to put into words. I see therapy as a space where what has been held can be released, where identity can be reclaimed, and where the nervous system can finally exhale.
Whether someone is navigating trauma, stress, transition, or a longing for deeper authenticity, I strive to create a space where their whole being is welcomed. My intention is always to help others reconnect with their innate aliveness, creativity, and capacity for healing.

Dave Vass
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor: RCC
Are you a dedicated, values-driven individual, always working hard to meet your responsibilities but feeling the burden of burnout, chronic stress, or loneliness? Type C personalities often put others' needs before their own well-being in the pursuit of doing 'what's right'. If this sounds familiar, it’s time to pause and focus on yourself. I specialize in empowering Type C oriented people to reclaim balance in their life. Together, we’ll identify your strengths and create a tailored plan to reduce self-criticism and enhance your relationships. Expect improved sleep, renewed energy, and clearer boundaries that honor your values. Ready for meaningful change? Contact me for a free 15-minute consultation. You deserve the compassion you give to others.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center is a practice built on the belief that healing takes time, safety, and depth. We are not a quick-fix model. We integrate neuroscience, attachment theory, trauma-informed care, and faith for those who desire it, so that change is not just behavioural but transformational. What sets us apart is our commitment to long-term relational work, nervous system stabilization, and whole-person care. We look at the patterns beneath the symptoms, the story beneath the survival, and we create a space where individuals, couples, and families can slow down enough to heal from the inside out. We are steady, clinically grounded, and rooted in the understanding that sustainable change happens when people feel safe enough to be fully seen.

Kimberly Davidson | Katalyst Integrated Trauma Treatment
Counsellor/Therapist, RCS, MTC, RTC, SEP, CCTP, CCISM, CFRC, CATP, NARM
Hi, my name is Kimberly. As I worked to heal my own trauma, I worked with several well meaning counsellors and therapists, who really didn't know or understand how to work with complex or developmental trauma. At worst, I was further hurt by their efforts to help me, at best it fuelled me to go back to school to get the education needed to fit this gap, for those who may need help in these areas as well. The impact of developmental & complex trauma on a person is enormous and impacts the entire person and all aspects of their lives. There isn't an area of your life that cannot be improved by healing your trauma. I work efficiently and thoroughly, as you have been through enough. Healing shouldn't be harder or longer than what you have already been through.
