Tina Presta
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA MPCC- Provisional, CCPCPR.Cand
Low self-esteem rarely looks like what people expect; for high-achievers, it often masks itself behind a flawless exterior, relentless drive, and chronic people-pleasing. On paper, you have built a life to be proud of. But privately, you are trapped in a exhausting cycle of self-doubt, constant comparison, and a lingering fear of being "found out." No matter how much you accomplish, your internal critic convinces you that you are falling short, leaving you feeling deeply alone, unseen, and disconnected from your true worth.I provide specialized, compassionate counselling for individuals ready to break free from the weight of insecurity and build genuine, lasting self-compassion. In our collaborative space, we don't just patch over your insecurities with positive thinking. We use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to actively untangle unhelpful mindsets, quiet your inner critic, and build everyday tools to help you stop over-functioning for validation.Because a lack of self-worth often lives in the nervous system as a chronic state of low-grade anxiety, tension, or a desire to hide, we go beyond traditional talk therapy. We integrate somatic tools, breathing techniques, and visual exercises alongside neuro-experiential tools like Brainspotting. Looking beneath the surface allows us to safely locate, process, and release the hidden physical weight of old criticisms, unspoken patterns, or past experiences that left you feeling unsafe or guarded in your own skin. Together, we will help you slow down, reclaim your boundaries, and step into an authentic, intentional, and confident way of living.

Barbara (Barchi) Fojkar
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCC
If you often feel "not enough," struggle with self-doubt, or rely on others for reassurance and validation, we can explore where these patterns began and how they continue to shape your life. Our work focuses on developing a deeper sense of self-worth, self-trust, and the freedom to live more authentically. Clinical hypnotherapy may also be integrated when appropriate.

Carlos "Charlie" Garcia
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, LMHC, CCC, MSc, MBA, CCTP
Self-esteem isn’t just about confidence. It’s about acceptance. It’s what you actually see when you look at yourself in the mirror.
It shows up in how you see that person, how you relate to others, the boundaries you set, the choices you make, and in that internal dialogue you carry with you every day.
Sometimes it looks like overthinking, self-doubt, people-pleasing, or feeling like you’re not enough. Even when you’re doing everything right, it can feel like you don’t really deserve it, or that at some point people will realize who you really are and leave.
We can work on understanding where that comes from, how those patterns developed, and how to shift them so you can feel more grounded in who you are, trust yourself more, and move through your life and relationships with more clarity and confidence, because you deserve to feel and live as the person you already are.
