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.

Are you finding it challenging to navigate relationships? Have you experienced narcissistic abuse? If you are a people-pleaser and find difficulty setting healthy boundaries this may be an indication of relational trauma. As a result you may be experiencing symptoms like anxiety, stress or low self-esteem, that can affect your relationships, work, school and your ability to complete daily tasks. If this is you its time to priotitize your emotional well being. Together we can work on building healthier relationships, improving communication skills, setting boundaries and developing healthier coping skills and tools!

Life Transitions
Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Life transitions—whether expected or unexpected—can feel unsettling, even when they’re positive. You might be navigating a career change, relationship change, move, loss, or a new stage of life, and finding yourself feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your sense of direction. Transitions often bring up deeper questions about identity, purpose, and where you fit, which can feel difficult to sort through on your own.
In our work together, we’ll create space to slow down and process what this transition means for you. Rather than rushing to find answers, we’ll explore the emotions, patterns, and underlying experiences that may be surfacing during this time. Using a trauma-informed and attachment-focused approach, we’ll support both your emotional world and nervous system, helping you feel more grounded, clear, and connected to yourself as you move forward.
I draw from approaches such as ACT, IFS, EMDR, Mindfulness-Based CBT, and somatic-based practices, tailoring our work to your unique needs. Together, we’ll build practical tools to navigate uncertainty while also supporting deeper reflection, self-trust, and meaningful change.
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. You’re welcome to reach out or visit my website to book a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

Seasons Family centre
Psychologist, RCC, RPsych
Our providers' practice is rooted in a strengths-based and person-centred approach with a strong emphasis on attachment theory, meaning that we believe it is essential to establish safe and authentic therapeutic relationships. We understand the complexities of families and how essential it is to work with parents and caregivers as collaborators throughout the counselling process. We currently draw on strategies from a neurodevelopmental perspective, play and art therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, among others, in order to tailor my approach to the specific needs of each child, teen, or family.
