Andrea Laznik Amit
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MA in clinical psychology
I offer a personalized approach to therapy based on psychoanalytic psychotherapy. After getting to know you we can decide on your goals for change. We explore in depth patterns that may be an obstacle to your growth so that you can decide whether to change them( or not). This approach is a process we go through together and the change is long standing. You will have a better understanding of your deep self and better control of where you want to go as well as better connection with others.

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.

MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
Most people have something in their lives that they would like to change, whether it's to lose weight, quit smoking, get rid of some phobia or habit that is holding them back. Often these things seem too difficult to change. Most people never think about hypnosis as an option, their knowledge limited to stage shows or movies where hypnosis and mind control play a part. Modern hypnosis is a widely recognized practice that has helped millions of people overcome all kind of challenges. I started my practice with a focus on sexuality and that still forms a large part of my what I do, working with people with ED, PE, lack of desire, inability to orgasm, assisting them in enhancing their erotic lives, experiencing more pleasure, removing mental and emotional block that interfere with accessing their full sexual potential. I have expanded into medical hypnosis, removing symptoms of seemingly incurable conditions when doctors have given up on their patients and helping people deal with chronic pain. I've studied "Hypno-Oncology" enabling me to support patients on their Cancer journey, helping with pain, depression, and the various side effects of Cancer treatment. Studies have shown that Hypnosis can strengthen the immune system, lower blood pressure, among many other things. I have worked with many clients who had been in therapy for decades and were unable to get relief from their issues only to completely overcome them in one or two sessions of hypnosis. Certainly, in our stressful times hypnosis has become the go to treatment for anxiety of all sorts. If there is anything in your life you would like to change contact me and let's discuss how we might work to get the life you want.
