Joel Mayer
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv
Specializing in anxiety and OCD! Do you feel stuck in your anxiety? Are intrusive thoughts or memories bothering you and getting in the way of your life? Perhaps your anxiety is also affecting your ability to be present and to function in the ways that you would like to in your relationships, work, or school life. Maybe you have coping strategies that used to work in the past but are no longer as effective for you now. If this is the case, do these issues then lead you to experiencing feelings of shame, wondering if there is something wrong with you, or questioning if things will ever get better?
You are not alone and change is possible! Anxious thoughts and feelings do not have to dictate your life and relationships. Together, we will work on learning skills to help you decrease your anxious feelings, get unstuck from your thoughts, develop more helpful coping strategies, and get back into the relationships and activities that matter to you.
My commitment is to come alongside you with compassion and care to offer direct, practical support that can make a difference now. I utilize a mindful, values-based approach to help you get back to meaningfully engaging in your life – whatever that looks like for you! I would be honored to work with you as you seek to live your life more fully.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Is your child or teen feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, ADHD, school challenges, or difficulty managing big emotions? Perhaps learning differences, neurodivergence, family conflict, or life transitions are creating stress at home or school. I work with children, teens, adults, and families who want a supportive space to better understand these challenges. Together, we focus on building emotional regulation, confidence, coping skills, and stronger relationships so clients feel more capable, understood, and supported in their daily lives.
I specialize in supporting children, teens, and families navigating ADHD, autism (ASD), anxiety, school issues, learning challenges, and life transitions. Using CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and experiential approaches, including play-based techniques, I help clients strengthen emotional regulation, build coping skills, and develop greater confidence and resilience
Behind every behaviour is a story waiting to be heard. If you or your child feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck, therapy can provide a supportive space to slow down and make sense of what’s happening. Together we’ll explore strengths, build practical tools, and create meaningful change so you can move forward with greater confidence and connection.

Kate Paul
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Hi, I’m Kate. I help individuals and couples navigate trauma, relational pain, and emotional overwhelm. Together, we’ll explore the roots of your challenges, to help you feel more grounded and empowered.
Past hurts can echo into the present: quick triggers, shutdowns, or the same fight on repeat. Trauma, whether from earlier life experiences or broken trust in relationships, can leave you feeling unsafe in your body and disconnected from the people who matter most.
My approach is compassionate, and collaborative. We will work at a pace that feels manageable, so you can restore trust in yourself and in your relationships.

Gal Zohar
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Ed.
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.

of Salt & Sky Therapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP
At of Salt & Sky, we’ve created a practice for the messy, complicated parts of being human. The things that happened years ago but still show up today. Relationships that leave you questioning yourself. A body or illness that has changed the life you thought you’d have. The exhaustion of holding everything together, or the feeling that somewhere along the way, you lost a little of yourself.
Our therapists don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. We bring different personalities, experiences, and approaches to the work, but share the same goal: to understand the person in front of us, not simply the problem that brought them through the door. Therapy here can be thoughtful and challenging, practical when you need it to be, and human enough that there’s room to laugh, too.
