Life Transitions
Tina Presta
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA MPCC- Provisional, CCPCPR.Cand
I provide comprehensive counselling support for individuals navigating a wide range of personal, emotional, and situational challenges. Life transitions can be difficult and it's so valuable having support in place. My practice specializes in helping clients manage the pressures of perfectionism, high-achievement, and burnout, while offering dedicated space for navigating men’s issues, women’s issues (including perimenopause), and the unique complexities of ADHD or neurodivergence. I offer compassionate guidance for those experiencing mild depression, anxiety, low mood, or profound loneliness, helping you build self-compassion and emotional regulation strategies. Additionally, I support individuals walking through major life disruptions and hardships, including life or career transitions, divorce and relationship strain, grief, and loss of direction. No matter the challenge, my goal is to help you slow down, understand your patterns, and build a more intentional, resilient path forward.

Life Transitions
Carlos "Charlie" Garcia
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, LMHC, CCC, MSc, MBA, CCTP
Sometimes life transitions are unexpected, or even when they’re something you chose, they can still feel heavy, uncertain, confusing, pressuring, or come with a sense of loss.
If you’re going through a shift in your life, relationships, identity, or direction, we can make sense of it together. With me, you’ll find a space where you don’t have to have it all figured out, but where you’ll be supported as we navigate this new reality. We focus on where you are, what’s changing, and how to move forward in a way that actually feels right for you.

Life Transitions
Fiona Matalon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
Transitions can unsettle the identities, relationships, and ways of living that once made sense. Even a change we have chosen can bring uncertainty, grief, or disorientation. Therapy can offer space to listen more closely to what is ending, what is emerging, and how you want to meet the life that is taking shape.
