Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
Walking that line between structure and discipline and allowing your children to grow and explore on their own is not easy. Finding that 'balance' - and still finding time for yourself and for your career and partner - needs the support of community not always available to help. I will listen to you while you find your own unique way, occasionally drawing on and sharing my experience as a mother, single parent, foster parent, wife, daughter and career woman. Being a parent is not only the most important job, I think it's also (perhaps) the hardest job (to do well). I believe an important part of parenting is to teach children to be curious, mindful, accepting and respectful of the world and to help them understand their own needs and how to address and fill those needs, themselves, by the time they reach adulthood.

Cameron Wharram
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
Parenting is the perfect example of "Full Catastrophe Living". Becoming clear and remaining grounded in your values and emotionally-regulated when you make decisions about your child's future or respond to their behaviour is the foundation of parenting. Build on that foundation is learning how to effectively communicate with your child, your partner, and yourself .

Whether you're a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) or simply want to break unhealthy patterns, together we'll strengthen your emotional regulation, build confidence in your parenting, and help you respond to your child with greater calm and connection. My goal is to help you become the parent you want to be while creating a healthier, more secure foundation for your family.

parents healing from narcissistic or emotionally neglectful childhoods,
parents struggling with burnout,

Liz Witzke
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying), CSAT
The process of raising children can be fraught with questions, uncertainty and it can bring up parts of ourselves that we didn't know were there or that we had promised ourselves we would never let come out with our own children. We try to balance protection, care and responsiveness and sometimes we lack support, knowledge or positive examples of how to have the kind of parent-child relationship we desire. I have four children of my own and can relate. I am here to help you connect the dots, weigh the issues, process your past and family or origin traits to come into the role of parent in a way that feels grounded, positive and authentically you.
