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 honest with my feedback. Simply, they trust me. and nothing could be more important to me or to them. And because my work has always felt like both an honour and a gift, I value the opportunity of being brought into the emotional lives of my clients where I can offer them the kind of safe space they may not have ever experienced previously.

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.

Pamela Mekuz
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Q)
Sometimes we know something isn't quite right, but struggle to put into words what we're feeling or what needs to change. You might feel overwhelmed, stuck in familiar patterns, or exhausted from trying to manage everything on your own. I bring warmth, curiosity, and compassion to my work, along with a genuine interest in understanding what makes your experience unique. Together, we can explore what's keeping you stuck, gain new perspectives, and develop practical strategies to help you create meaningful change. I work with a nonprofit organization that provides free virtual counselling. If you've been considering therapy, I'd love the opportunity to connect and explore how I might support you.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, HBA, MPsy
Personally, I understand what it is like to grow up in a difficult family which resulted in much trauma. As a young adult, I made a series of problematic choices which included abusive relationships, alcohol and drug abuse, and general neglect of myself. I realized that my trauma was not my fault but healing from it, so that I no longer suffered and passed that suffering onto others, was my responsibility. My wellness journey has been long and hard fought, and continues today and will forever more. The work is necessary, as all healing is possible. My hope is to share both my personal and professional knowledge and experiences with others to help guide them on their own journeys towards their own healing.

Fatima Mohammad, Avec Counselling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, RCC
I work with individuals, couples, and business professionals who are often managing high expectations, demanding careers, and important relationships, while also trying to stay connected to themselves. Therapy with me is a space to slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and move toward greater clarity and alignment, while not losing sight of the goals.
Clients often come to me for support with relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, burnout, identity questions, and intercultural dynamics. I bring a relational and collaborative approach, meaning we work together in a way that feels thoughtful, honest, and tailored to your needs- not one-size-fits-all.
At the heart of my work is a belief that meaningful change happens when people feel seen, understood, and supported without judgment. I aim to offer that kind of space, where you can explore what’s not working, strengthen what matters most, and build relationships, with yourself and others that feel more connected and fulfilling.

Shelley Murphy, Food & Body Image Hypnotherapist
Hypnotherapist, BASc, Former RD
I believe that meaningful change doesn’t come from forcing or fixing yourself, it comes from understanding yourself more deeply, and learning how to work with your mind and body, rather than against them. In my work as a clinical hypnotherapist, I often meet people who are capable, thoughtful, and self-aware, yet feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, overthinking, emotional eating, or self-doubt. These patterns can feel frustrating, especially when you’ve “tried everything” to change them. What I’ve seen, time and time again, is that real, lasting change happens when we gently access the deeper parts of the mind where these patterns are held. This is where hypnotherapy can be incredibly effective; supporting you to shift not just how you think, but how you feel, respond, and experience yourself day to day.
