Wayne brings a down-to-earth and thoughtful approach to therapy. He believes meaningful change starts with being able to speak honestly about what is going on and feeling genuinely heard along the way. His goal is to help clients gain perspective, have more productive conversations, and develop practical ways to move forward.

Ashley Bargent Coaching & Counselling
Registered Social Worker, Associate Certified Coach, ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider MSW, RSW, ACC, ADHD-CCSP
Work is draining the joy from your life. Your confidence is dropping and you’re not sure about this career anymore. Every workday, it’s harder to get out of bed. You’ve considered changing jobs but are scared you’re the problem. The idea of change feels overwhelming because you overthink and don’t know where to start. You long for a job where your strengths will shine and you can live up to your potential. But you aren’t sure if you’ll ever find a place where you belong, especially if you’re grappling with ADHD.

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.

Renee Chu
Registered Psychotherapist, Hon. BA., RP
Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, struggling with ADHD, anxiety, trauma, grief, or emotional regulation? Do intense emotions or communication challenges make it hard to build the connections you want? With compassion and curiosity, I invite you to explore the roots of recurring patterns so you can achieve lasting change and emotional well-being. What you need matters, and you don't have to face any of this alone.
As a BIPOC, trauma-informed therapist, I bring experience working with neurodivergence, complex relationships, challenging family dynamics, and narcissistic abuse recovery. I use a bicultural and mindfulness-based approach, drawing from CBT, DBT, IFS, psychodynamic, existential, person-centered, and narrative frameworks to tailor care to your goals. My practice is rooted in a lifelong interest in the interplay between our shared humanity and individual uniqueness, and I believe meaningful change is possible when you feel truly safe, heard, and seen.
I work with a gentle, validating style. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, to struggle, or to heal. Together we can explore entrenched patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and work through the barriers affecting your well-being and relationships. I tailor therapy to personal growth, healing, and identity exploration through culturally responsive, collaborative care, and I encourage you to be kind to yourself throughout the process.
I offer a complimentary 50-minute online consultation so we can get to know each other and explore whether we are a good fit. Reduced fees are available based on need. Reach out by phone or email, and let's take that first step together.
