Suzanne St. John Smith
Counsellor/Therapist, M.A., M.A. (Psych.) FEA, C.C.C Relationship and Family Therapist; Life Coach
"Women's issues" entails many things, doesn't it? What particular phase of life are you in? Sometimes what you need is just someone who can offer you the experience, strength, and hope that you need to make the very best of this phase, or sort out a direction for the next one as you head into it.

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.

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.

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.

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.
