Angela Jones
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, BSW (Psychotherapist)
Parenting is deeply rewarding, but it can also be one of the hardest roles we take on. From managing daily stress to navigating your child’s emotions and behaviors, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed at times. I provide evidence-based support using approaches such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help parents strengthen coping skills, set healthy boundaries, and parent in ways that align with their values. Together, we’ll work on creating a calmer, more connected family life.

Suzanne St. John Smith
Counsellor/Therapist, M.A., M.A. (Psych.) FEA, C.C.C Relationship and Family Therapist; Life Coach
When working with clients experiencing parenting challenges, I help them explore the emotional and relational dynamics at play — both within the parent–child relationship and within themselves. Together, we look beneath the surface of behavior to understand what’s really being communicated, fostering greater empathy, patience, and self-awareness. My approach emphasizes strengthening connection, setting healthy boundaries, and developing practical strategies that align with the family’s values. Ultimately, the goal is to support parents in feeling more confident, grounded, and attuned — creating a home environment where both they and their children can thrive.

Kevin Jones
Psychologist, MACP
My approach to supporting parents focuses on creating a collaborative, non-judgmental space to explore the joys and challenges of raising children. I help parents understand the dynamics within their family, identify patterns that may contribute to stress or conflict, and develop practical strategies to strengthen communication and connection. Using evidence-informed approaches, including behavioural guidance, emotional regulation techniques, and problem-solving skills, I support parents in building confidence, fostering healthy relationships, and promoting positive development for their children. My goal is to empower parents to navigate challenges with clarity, patience, and resilience while nurturing a supportive and balanced family environment.

Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
Walking that line between structure and discipline and allowing your children to grow and explore on their own is not easy. Finding that 'balance' - and still finding time for yourself and for your career and partner - needs the support of community not always available to help. I will listen to you while you find your own unique way, occasionally drawing on and sharing my experience as a mother, single parent, foster parent, wife, daughter and career woman. Being a parent is not only the most important job, I think it's also (perhaps) the hardest job (to do well). I believe an important part of parenting is to teach children to be curious, mindful, accepting and respectful of the world and to help them understand their own needs and how to address and fill those needs, themselves, by the time they reach adulthood.
