Sarah Bickle
Registered Psychotherapist, MPsy., R.P.
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I know how difficult it can be to navigate the complexities of life, especially when trauma, relationships, or identity issues weigh heavy on your heart. I’m here to offer you a safe, affirming space where you can begin the process of healing, at your own pace, and on your own terms.
Whether you’re navigating the aftermath of sexual trauma, exploring your LGBTQ+ identity, or simply seeking to understand the patterns in your life that no longer serve you, I am committed to walking beside you through every step of the journey. You don’t have to do this alone. In therapy with me, you’ll experience a unique blend of evidence-based therapies, creative techniques, and a deeply empathetic, collaborative approach. I’ll work with you to find what resonates, whether it’s EMDR, psychodynamic exploration, somatic therapy, meditation, or a combination of tools that evolve as your needs shift. My work is rooted in trauma-informed care, meaning I always respect your pace, your boundaries, and your journey. We’ll create a space where your healing is not just possible, but empowered.
I offer flexible evening and late-night sessions, making it easier for you to prioritize your well-being—even with a busy schedule. My online practice allows me to meet you where you are, whether that’s through Zoom or telephone, and I’m fully committed to being present with you during our sessions—so you get the support you deserve when you need it most.
With over a decade in mental health, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of individuals. From my early days supporting Haitian refugees abroad, to my experience working with neurodiverse young adults and seniors, I have helped people from many walks of life navigate complex emotions, trauma, and identity. While I specialize in sexual trauma and LGBTQ+ care, I believe healing is unique to each person—and I’m here to support you, no matter your background, experience, or life stage. Whether you’re exploring deep emotional patterns, working through trauma, or seeking more connection in your relationships, I’m committed to adapting my approach to meet your needs and helping you move forward at your own pace.
If you’re ready to begin this journey, take the first step today—together, we’ll find the path that works best for you. I’m here to help you heal, grow, and thrive.

Roger Thiessen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CCC, MPS, M.Div
Who in your life truly listens to you? I base my practice in deep listening. I believe in your own inner owl: the innate wisdom you have but just can't find right now. My role is to provide a safe, gentle, non-judgmental and confidential space to help you get in touch with your wisdom so you can live your fullest life.
I've come to believe that the purpose of suffering is to help us better understand ourselves, our relationships and life itself. I would like to help you break through to what life has in store for you next. Fundamentally, there's nothing wrong with us; at difficult points in our lives, we all developed coping strategies that helped us survive but now, these strategies get in the way. Let's work together to facilitate your healing and growth.

Semra Lamky, Emotional Peace Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), MACP, Bsc
I hold a space where each person can be fully seen, heard, and met exactly where they are, with empathy, curiosity, and zero judgment. As a trauma-informed psychotherapist, I understand how past experiences can shape the way we relate to ourselves, others, and the world. I integrate EMDR, CBT, DBT, EFT, Solution-Focused, narrative and psychodynamic approaches to support healing not just at the surface, but at a deep, meaningful level.
Therapy with me is not about fixing you, because you are not broken. It’s about helping you reconnect with your strengths, untangle painful patterns, and move toward the life you want to live. I work collaboratively, honouring your pace and your story, and tailoring our work to what truly resonates for you.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking to understand yourself better, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and care. If you're ready to explore what’s been holding you back—and what’s possible—I invite you to reach out. You don’t have to do this alone.

Havenwood Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
FREE 20-minute consult: Accepting New Clients - Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you've spent a long time being the person who holds everything together. You may be functioning on the outside while privately feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward.
Our approach to therapy begins with meeting you exactly where you are. We don't believe you need to have everything figured out before you begin, and we don't see you as a problem that needs to be fixed. At Havenwood Psychotherapy, we believe your experiences make sense within the context of your story, and that understanding those experiences can create space for meaningful change.
Our work is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. Together, we'll explore the patterns, beliefs, emotions, and relationships that may be influencing how you experience yourself and the world around you. We want therapy to be a space where you can be honest, curious, and fully yourself without needing to perform or have the “right” answers.
Therapy isn't always about becoming a different version of yourself. Sometimes it's about coming back to yourself—building self-trust, making sense of what you've been through, and creating the freedom to move forward in a way that feels true to you.
You don't have to carry it all alone. We are here to help you take the next step.
