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.

Tina Presta
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA MPCC- Provisional, CCPCPR.Cand
On paper, you’ve built a life to be proud of. You are driven, successful, and the person everyone else relies on because you always appear to have it all together. But privately, the high standards you hold yourself to are leaving you feeling exhausted and deeply alone. Somewhere along the way of taking care of business and prioritizing everyone else, you’ve lost a piece of yourself. You are no longer satisfied with just going through the motions, and you are secretly questioning if the way you've been living actually works for you anymore. You are ready for a profound change and a return to who you truly are.
Navigating emotional stress, career challenges, or relationship strain. Life phase transitions, perimenopause, or burnout. Individuals experiencing anxiety, low mood or loss of direction. Those looking to build deeper connections and overcome people-pleasing patterns. Clients experiencing profound loneliness, self doubt & an absence of self -compassion.
If you’re feeling stuck, unseen, or simply ready for something to shift. I’m here to support you. Together, we’ll create a supportive path forward clarifying your goals, strengthening your coping strategies, and fostering meaningful change.
