Tina Presta
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA MPCC- Provisional, CCPCPR.Cand
I provide comprehensive counselling support for individuals navigating a wide range of personal, emotional, and situational challenges. My practice specializes in helping clients manage the pressures of perfectionism, high-achievement, and burnout, while offering dedicated space for navigating men’s issues, women’s issues (including perimenopause), and the unique complexities of ADHD or neurodivergence. I offer compassionate guidance for those experiencing mild depression, anxiety, low mood, or profound loneliness, helping you build self-compassion and emotional regulation strategies. Additionally, I support individuals walking through major life disruptions and hardships, including life or career transitions, divorce and relationship strain, grief, and loss of direction. No matter the challenge, my goal is to help you slow down, understand your patterns, and build a more intentional, resilient path forward.
