Dave Vass
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor: RCC
Do you often feel like it's up to you to keep the peace in relationships or get things done? You may be conscientious, dependable, and committed to doing things “the right way,” while privately experiencing stress, exhaustion, self-criticism, or disconnection.
If you identify with Type C traits, you may prioritize others, avoid conflict, keep difficult emotions to yourself, and feel pressure to continually accomplish more. While these qualities can reflect strength and integrity, they may also contribute to burnout, chronic stress or pain, disrupted sleep, relationship difficulties, and feeling dissatisfied despite your achievements.
I support high-functioning adults who want to maintain their values and sense of purpose while developing greater balance, self-compassion, and emotional well-being. Our collaborative, trauma-informed work may focus on boundaries, communication, stress management, self-criticism, sleep, chronic pain, emotional expression, or relationships.
Together, we’ll develop practical strategies tailored to your goals so you can protect your energy, strengthen connections, and create lasting change—without losing who you are. Contact me for a free 15-minute consultation to explore whether we’re a good fit.

Adam Manz
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), MCP
Life can sometimes feel like you’re running in circles—facing patterns that are hard to break, struggling with worry, self-doubt, or lingering effects from past experiences. You may notice tension in your relationships, challenges with communication, or a sense of disconnection from yourself or others. I provide a supportive space to slow down, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and build practical strategies to help you feel more grounded, capable, and present in your daily life.
Clients often describe a sense of relief and renewed hope after beginning therapy. Many report increased self-awareness, steadiness, and confidence in handling difficult emotions or life transitions. My work focuses on helping you take small, meaningful steps toward lasting change while developing tools that support long-term growth.
I use a collaborative, evidence-informed approach that integrates nervous system regulation, trauma recovery, and attachment-focused insights. Together, we’ll explore both practical solutions and deeper understanding, creating a path toward greater resilience, clarity, and fulfillment.
When you’re ready, I offer a free initial consultation to help you determine whether my approach aligns with your needs.

Gal Zohar
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Ed., Registered Psychotherapist
True healing begins in a space where you feel safe, seen, and understood. I believe that when we are fully heard and accepted, we can begin to explore our experiences, uncover patterns that may have once kept us safe, and reconnect with our authentic selves. Together, we’ll explore the roots of your struggles, work through challenges with compassion, and foster lasting growth that ripples into your everyday life.

Carl Malmsten
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC, CHyp
Over the last 6 decades decades I have had the opportunity to make significant mistakes, suffer and grow just like you. I have learned that success in life and relationships is about learning from these mistakes, and seeking support from people with experience, compassion, knowledge and life wisdom. I would be honoured to share the path with you and to walk together through the difficulties you have had, to a future with possibility, self acceptance and freedom.

Karen Baker
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CTP Dipl
I believe the parts of us that are hardest to look at — the patterns we can't explain, the reactions we regret, the feelings we'd rather not feel — hold the key to relieving suffering and finding a fuller sense of self. Those painful or shameful parts don't need fixing so much as understanding and accepting. My role is to offer clients an attuned and non-judgmental ear, and encourage a curiosity about their own inner world, while helping to recognize and interpret important signals from the nervous system — with a steady, consistent presence who can sit in the uncertainty with them. Over time, that kind of relationship can become a template for other secure, trusting connections. Clients who sense there's something beneath the surface worth exploring, even if they're not sure yet what that is, might find value in my approach.
