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.

Isabelle Tremblay
Life Coach, Isabelle Tremblay is a Purpose, Power & Mindset Coach helping high-achieving women move from burnout
If you’re a high achieving professional feeling burned out, overwhelmed, or disconnected despite your success, you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate it alone.
I specialize in burnout recovery, mindset transformation, and purpose driven leadership for ambitious women who are ready to reclaim their energy, confidence, and direction. My approach goes beyond traditional coaching by addressing the root causes of stress, overperformance, and misalignment, helping you create lasting, sustainable change.
With over 20 years of experience in high level executive environments, I understand the pressure to constantly perform, lead, and deliver. I provide a space where you can reset, gain clarity, and rebuild from a place of strength, not exhaustion.
Clients choose to work with me because they are ready for real transformation, not quick fixes. Together, we move you from burnout to clarity, from pressure to purpose, and from success on the outside to fulfillment on the inside.
If you’re ready to feel like yourself again and lead your life with intention and confidence, I invite you to reach out.

Mikyla Bergman
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC
Let's talk ADHD!
Are you newly diagnosed ADHD? or an experienced hyperactive/ inattentive brain? I focus on working with and understanding the ADHD brain, looking at the challenges, strategies and differences of living with ADHD in a neurotypical world- let's get into it!
I believe in a person-centered approach that provides unique, tailored support for each individual. My goal is to work collaboratively with you, gaining a deep understanding of your challenges, experiences, goals, and emotions. In addition to fostering emotional well-being, I incorporate strategies to enhance executive functioning skills—such as organization, time management, and emotional regulation—to support overall life balance and daily functioning. This approach is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing overwhelm, ADHD, anxiety, or depression, as it strengthens key life skills that promote resilience and personal growth.

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.

Suzanne Nievaart
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
In my work, I believe you are the expert in your own life. I offer the space and support to help you explore deep insight into your strengths, your needs, and what matters most to you. Through my own lived experience, I understand what it can feel like to start over as a newcomer in a foreign place. I hope to support you as you are rebuilding a sense of identity, belonging, and stability, and hold awareness of the many expectations placed on women in our society, especially when navigating work, caregiving, and life transitions.

Fatima Mohammad, Avec Counselling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
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.
