Women's Issues
Shelley Klammer
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
Do you consider yourself spiritual, empathic, intuitive, creative, deep-thinking, or highly sensitive (HSP)? Do you sometimes struggle with emotional overwhelm, anxiety or depression? Are you frequently the empath to the narcissist in your relationships? Do you often ignore what you need and feel codependent or are overly self-reliant in your connections with others?
Do you sense that “younger,” unhealed aspects within you might be sabotaging your health, livelihood, relationships, or your willingness to ask for support? I specialize in supporting women to heal “unfinished emotional business” from the past in a strength-focused, non-pathologizing, depth-oriented, and strictly confidential way.

Natalie V. Bochenska
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RCAT, Certified Somatic Practitioner
Women often navigate complex expectations around relationships, caregiving, identity, boundaries, and their sense of worth. I provide a supportive space to explore these pressures alongside experiences of trauma, attachment difficulties, and life transitions. Through somatic and relational psychotherapy, we work toward strengthening your voice, understanding your needs, and developing a more authentic relationship with yourself.

Pamela Mekuz
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Q)
Women often navigate a unique combination of expectations, responsibilities, and pressures that can influence how they see themselves and their place in the world. Whether you're balancing family and career, navigating motherhood, experiencing changes in your relationships or identity, or adjusting to a new stage of life, these experiences can bring complicated and sometimes conflicting emotions. As a mother myself, I understand how easy it can be to become caught up in caring for others while losing sight of your own needs and sense of self. I offer a compassionate space to explore these challenges, better understand the beliefs and expectations that may be shaping your experiences, and reconnect with what matters most to you. Together, we can work toward greater self-understanding, confidence, and a sense of balance that feels right for you.

Vanessa Fingland
Counsellor/Therapist, CCPCPR.cand, RPC-C
Perimenopause and menopause can bring unexpected emotional and physical changes, including anxiety, mood swings, irritability, grief, hot flashes, sleep difficulties, and a loss of confidence or sense of self. Together, we'll explore how this transition is affecting your emotional well being, relationships, and daily life while developing practical strategies to help you cope with these changes and reconnect with yourself. My goal is to help you navigate this stage of life with greater understanding, resilience, and confidence.

Kristen Bailey Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Masters of Arts Counselling Psychology
I am a cis gender woman myself and have worked mostly with women in my private practice. There are certain issues that do affect us personally- societal pressures and oppression history, hormones, expectations from ourselves and others that keep us stuck.

Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
Women’s emotional and mental health concerns can show up in many ways, including pressure to meet expectations, difficulty setting boundaries, burnout from carrying too much for others, self-worth and self-confidence struggles, marriage and relationship struggles, or navigating life transitions and identity shifts. You may feel disconnected from your body, intuition, or sense of inner strength while trying to balance roles, responsibilities, and personal needs. I work somatically, trauma-informed, and with the nervous system, inner child, and energy field in mind to support deeper healing from patterns that have been carried in the nervous system and body. My focus is compassionate, root-cause healing that helps you reconnect with your authentic self, your voice, truth, inner wisdom, and intuition.

Melinda Freitas
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RCC, CCS
Traditionally research, healthcare and mental health care lacked focus on women's issues, but thankfully the times have changed on this! I support women or anyone identifying as a woman, providing the gender-affirming space and compassionate-care to explore the unique psychological, biological, and societal challenges that we face. My approaches in this work are deeply rooted in compassion, mindfulness, self-care and through a feminist-lens, recognizing that a woman's mental health is shaped by cultural expectations, systemic pressures, and hormonal transitions such as PMDD, perimenopause and menopause.

Sophia Kopelow
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
As you know firsthand, moving through the world as a female can come with unique challenges. I offer a safe space to process your experiences, explore your emotions, and connect with your most authentic, embodied self. My mission is to empower sensitive and soulful women to step into the truth of who they are unapologetically. Together, we will work collaboratively to identify all the ways you've been programmed to go outside of yourself for validation and security and help you find the inner peace and freedom you long for. I have experience supporting women with a range of struggles including: fertility and reproductive health, PMDD, gender based violence (sexual assault or harassment), self esteem, body image/disordered eating, work life balance, societal expectations about women’s roles as mothers or caregivers, and assertive communication/boundary setting. I offer in-person, virtual or walk and talk therapy. I would love to hear from you—head to my website to book your free 20-minute consultation.

Christina Harrison | Vicara Wellness |
Counsellor/Therapist, Integrative Holistic Coach and Practitioner | Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner |
Women often carry many roles at once—partner, parent, caregiver, professional, daughter, friend—while quietly losing connection with their own needs, identity, body, or inner voice. I support women navigating change, overwhelm, relationships, self-worth, stress, and the desire to reconnect
more deeply with themselves. Our work can include the mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and energetic dimensions of your experience, creating space not simply to cope with what life asks of you, but to rediscover what feels authentic, nourishing, and meaningful to you. Reconnect with yourself.

Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Women’s issues can encompass a wide range of experiences, including challenges related to identity, relationships, self-worth, boundaries, life transitions, motherhood, fertility, sexuality, and the pressures placed on women in today’s world. You might find yourself navigating conflicting expectations, carrying emotional or mental load in relationships, struggling with people-pleasing, or feeling disconnected from your own needs and voice.
In our work together, I will create a space to explore your experiences as a woman in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. Using a trauma-informed and attachment-focused approach, we’ll look at how personal history, relationships, and broader social and cultural influences may be shaping how you see yourself and move through the world. The focus is on helping you reconnect with your own needs, values, and sense of agency.
I draw from approaches such as ACT, IFS, EMDR, Mindfulness-Based CBT, and somatic-based practices, tailoring our work to your unique experiences and goals. Together, we’ll work on strengthening self-trust, boundaries, emotional regulation, and self-compassion, while also supporting deeper healing and empowerment.
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.

Barbara (Barchi) Fojkar
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCC
I support women navigating self-worth, relationships, boundaries, anxiety, life transitions, identity, and the many expectations placed upon us. Our work can be a space to reconnect with your own needs, voice, values, and inner strength, and to explore who you are beyond the roles and expectations you may have learned to carry.

GrewpTogether.ca
Pre-Licensed Professional, BPHE, MRE, MACP
Thankfully we have a fuller picture now. Women hold systemic and cultural roles that may or may not "feel right, fair, or ok" to hold. Sometimes women can be left questioning themselves and working on "being a better wife, mother, daughter, caregiver, etc. when in fact they need permission to look at things from a broader perspective, find their voice, feel freedom, and then choose who they want to be from that place. Layered into all of this is our bodies, our rage, and expectations culture places on how we can move and express ourselves. I can listen, I can support, and help you tap into your own wisdom.
