Suzanne St. John Smith
Counsellor/Therapist, M.A., M.A. (Psych.) FEA, C.C.C Relationship and Family Therapist; Life Coach
The reason clients return time after time, and year after year, is due to the fact that I've made it a priority to build a strong connection with them. I listen, I guide them when they ask, and I'm very honest with my feedback. Simply, they trust me. Nothing could be more important to me or to them.

Nicklas Ehrlich
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, RCC (#0843), RSW (#11561), Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Life-Coach, Hypnotherapist, Advanced Neurofeedback Trainer
I help you get to the root of your problems, train your brain to be more resilient, and overwrite unwanted default programming so you can make lasting change. 95% of your thoughts and behaviours are processed in your unconscious mind, which is why, even though you might want something better for yourself, you find yourself stuck. I use evidence-based techniques like hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and neurofeedback to help you access your unconscious mind, and reprogram unwanted thoughts and behaviour patterns for good.

Jesse Niall
Drug and Alcohol Counsellor, Canadian Certified Addictions Counsellor
I would never ask you to do anything I haven’t been willing to face myself. My approach to counselling is grounded in deep personal experience—because I’ve walked this path too. Over the years, I’ve done the hard work of healing from addiction, anxiety, and trauma, and I continue to grow every day.
This journey has shaped not only who I am but how I support others. It allows me to connect with my clients in a way that many counsellors cannot—because I understand what it’s like to struggle, to feel stuck, and to fight for something better.
My professional training, combined with nearly a decade of lived recovery, means I bring both expertise and empathy to every session. I’m here to walk alongside you, offering real support, honest insight, and a genuine belief in your ability to heal.

Cayla Townes, Memento Psychotherapy & Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
What if the way you see yourself isn’t the truth—but a story shaped by past wounds?
Our sense of self is shaped by early experiences, especially in relationships. If you grew up feeling unseen, unsafe, or unworthy, those feelings don’t just fade—they shape your choices, beliefs, and relationships. Maybe you struggle with anxiety, depression, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or self-doubt. These patterns didn’t come from nowhere—they were ways your mind and body learned to cope. But they don’t have to define you.
Healing is possible. Using a relational, trauma-informed approach rooted in attachment theory, complex PTSD recovery, and memory reconsolidation, I help people rewrite the beliefs that keep them stuck. Therapy isn’t about fixing what’s "wrong"—it’s about understanding and transforming the impact of what’s happened to you.
Together, we’ll explore the deeper patterns shaping your life, so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and self-compassion—not just managing symptoms, but truly healing at the core.
You deserve to feel safe, connected, and whole. If this resonates with you, let’s talk. Book a free consultation today.
