Alexia Wensing
Therapist, Hons. B.A., M.A., Registered Psychotherapist
Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, burnout, or a major life transition? Maybe you’re a high achiever, professional, or athlete navigating pressure, self-doubt, perfectionism, or the challenge of balancing demanding expectations. You may find yourself caught in cycles of overthinking, people-pleasing, or feeling disconnected from yourself. I provide a warm, collaborative, and conversational space where we can explore what’s beneath the surface while building practical, evidence-informed skills to create meaningful change. Together, we’ll work toward greater self-awareness, confidence, authenticity, and emotional resilience.
I support adults with navigating anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, ADHD, and self-esteem while building more authentic, fulfilling lives. I enjoy supporting professionals, high achievers, and those navigating life transitions, taking a whole-person, evidence- based approach, emphasizing the connection between physical and mental well-being.

Dr. Justin Dubé
Psychologist, Ph.D, C.Psych
I appreciate that change is hard. Therapy––learning alternate coping skills, trying new behaviours, and facing your fears–can often feel uncomfortable. To make the hard work of therapy worthwhile, I will collaborate with you to uncover what makes your unique life meaningful. We will examine barriers to your meaningful life and develop a plan to overcome them.
