Tina Presta
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA MPCC- Provisional, CCPCPR.Cand
You don’t have to have your life perfectly figured out, and things don’t need to look flawless on paper to justify seeking support. Sometimes, you just feel a persistent sense that something is off, even if you can’t quite put your finger on it right now. Whether you are a creative, an entrepreneur, a business owner, a mother, or a father, it is incredibly common to find yourself quietly exhausted, feeling stuck, or questioning if the way you’ve been living actually works for you anymore. You might just feel ready for a change and a return to who you truly are.Traditional talk therapy is wonderful, but often the root of our pain or patterns lives deeper than words can reach. In my practice, I utilize Brainspotting—a powerful, neuro-experiential modality that serves as a way of working through deep-seated issues without having to talk through them endlessly. By integrating Brainspotting with nervous system regulation, CBT, and somatic tools, we look beneath the surface to safely locate and process hidden emotional stress, anxiety, or stored trauma. Together, we will finally take down the heavy things that have been "sitting on the shelf" for years, gently breaking them down into manageable, bite-sized pieces so your nervous system never feels overwhelmed.I support individuals navigating:A general sense of "stuckness," low mood, or a lost direction—even if it's hard to nameThe everyday pressures of running a business, creative burnout, or parenting demandsGently processing early life dynamics or long-standing patterns that still echo in your life todayReclaiming your personal boundaries and safely reconnecting with your body after times of stress or disruption. Overcoming deep-seated people-pleasing patterns, self-doubt, and an absence of self-compassionIf you’re feeling unseen or simply ready for something to shift, I’m here to support you. Together, we’ll create a supportive, collaborative path forward. I offer individual online therapy as well as healing group therapy sessions designed to help you reconnect and grow.

Sanja Dejanovic
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, PhD
Hello! I'm Sanja. Feeling stressed, overwhelmed or stuck? Unsure how to change what you are experiencing, situations, or dynamics? Sometimes another viewpoint can help us navigate our path when we are unable to see a way through. I am a compassionate and nonjudgmental therapist who cares about witnessing others as they reconnect with themselves, explore their inner worlds and undergo changes they are aiming towards. If you are thinking of accessing therapy, connect with me to chat about your current experiences and how I could be there for you. I'm an experienced, skilled, and attuned therapist who has a variety of therapeutic approaches in her toolkit and integrates them in a way that works for you, whether you are seeking to navigate grief and loss, anxiety, depression, stressors, difficult emotions, familial and partnership challenges, addictions or other things weighing you down. I provide individual, couples and group therapy in Ontario and other provinces. Looking forward to connecting with you and collaboratively working with you toward your goals!

Fiona Matalon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
If you're looking for long lasting change and finally breaking patterns, I'd love to support you. "Somatic counselling with Fiona is bringing change to my life in a powerful and profound way. I can't explain what exactly is happening inside me, it isn't the work I'm used to doing in counselling, and yet when the connection happens and release comes I feel like I have unloaded years worth of heavy emotions. My life is naturally shifting in ways that I never imagined possible, my body has started to process emotion differently, I am thinking about life differently, and I feel powerful. I am shifting in ways that I never imagined."
