Suzanne St. John Smith
Counsellor/Therapist, M.A., M.A. (Psych.) FEA, C.C.C Relationship and Family Therapist; Life Coach
When working with clients experiencing parenting challenges, I help them explore the emotional and relational dynamics at play — both within the parent–child relationship and within themselves. Together, we look beneath the surface of behavior to understand what’s really being communicated, fostering greater empathy, patience, and self-awareness. My approach emphasizes strengthening connection, setting healthy boundaries, and developing practical strategies that align with the family’s values. Ultimately, the goal is to support parents in feeling more confident, grounded, and attuned — creating a home environment where both they and their children can thrive.

Rosemary Laurel
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
As someone who understands having a highly sensitive, PDA kid, I'm not here to tell you what to do, but I can hold space and understanding for how different it is to let go of traditional parenting models and create your own version of a non-coercive, equality based, low demand parenting environment. I can help you connect to your own knowing and wisdom about what is best for your family at this time.

Parenting is an opportunity to learn and grow, revisit our own stages of development, and learn new ways to deal effectively with our children. It is also an opportunity to work as a team with those we may be parenting with while learning healthy effective communication and collaboration skills.

Cayla Townes, Memento Psychotherapy & Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
Parenting is one of the most difficult, demanding, all-consuming jobs there is. Often, people have had adequate or less than adequate examples of how to be a parent. I work with parents who are struggling with holding on to their identity and sanity while being full-time caregivers. I especially enjoy working with parents of teenagers who are struggling with connecting and communicating with their almost-adult children.

Heron Payne Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, RTC
Parenting can bring enormous love and meaning, while also stirring up stress, self-doubt, frustration, guilt, and old patterns from your own upbringing. You may find yourself reacting in ways you don’t fully understand, struggling to balance your child’s needs with your own, or worrying that you’re getting it wrong. I offer a supportive space to slow things down, understand what gets activated in you as a parent, and respond with greater awareness and intention. Using mindfulness, relational awareness, attachment theory and a compassionate exploration of family patterns, we can help you build more trust in yourself and create a more connected relationship with your child.

Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Effective parenting begins with our own internal stability. Drawing on over 15 years of experience in mental health and trauma, I help parents move beyond traditional discipline strategies to focus on the heart of the matter: forming a secure attachment with their children.
Using a Parts Work lens, we explore how your own history and 'inner child' may be triggered by your children's behavior. By healing those internal wounds, you can show up with more patience, clarity, and presence. My goal is to support you in breaking old cycles and building a relational foundation that allows both you and your child to feel safe, seen, and truly connected.
