NS Talks
Counsellor/Therapist, RP, RCT, RCT-C, CCC, CCTP
We’re passionate about our work. We're constantly engaging in professional development to ensure we’re the best therapists we can be. We meet regularly to exchange ideas, and even have a book club. Our team members hold several additional certifications treating Clinical Trauma, ADHD, and are trained in EMDR. We work with clients dealing with a number of struggles and we're here to help.
The research has consistently shown the importance of good fit for successful counselling. That's why we start with a consult with the Clinical Director, followed by a consult with 1-2 of our therapists to empower you to have a say in who you work with. You will not be matched off a spreadsheet or by the next available appointment.
We're a counsellor-led practice. I’ll be uncomfortably blunt with you on this: there are a lot of practices out there run by people who know nothing about counselling, hiring subcontractors at every step, trying to maximize how much they can charge the client, and minimize how much they pay the counsellor. These environments inhibit counsellor growth, may have high turnover, and usually do not deliver the quality of care you deserve.
It’s just the 4 of us and a monthly bookkeeper. Since we’re virtual, we pass the savings on to you where possible. We do not have a large ad budget, relying on the quality of work we do leading to word of mouth referrals.

Vanessa Gear
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Is your child or teen feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, ADHD, school challenges, or difficulty managing big emotions? Perhaps learning differences, neurodivergence, family conflict, or life transitions are creating stress at home or school. I work with children, teens, adults, and families who want a supportive space to better understand these challenges. Together, we focus on building emotional regulation, confidence, coping skills, and stronger relationships so clients feel more capable, understood, and supported in their daily lives.
I specialize in supporting children, teens, and families navigating ADHD, autism (ASD), anxiety, school issues, learning challenges, and life transitions. Using CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and experiential approaches, including play-based techniques, I help clients strengthen emotional regulation, build coping skills, and develop greater confidence and resilience
Behind every behaviour is a story waiting to be heard. If you or your child feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck, therapy can provide a supportive space to slow down and make sense of what’s happening. Together we’ll explore strengths, build practical tools, and create meaningful change so you can move forward with greater confidence and connection.

Brianne Roy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Do you find yourself questioning your relationships, your identity, or where your life is heading? You might be burned out from masking or holding it together, drained from a separation or life change, or noticing distance growing between you and your partner. Perhaps you're navigating neurodivergence, stuck in codependency, or grieving a life that didn't go as planned. You may not remember the last time you felt truly like yourself. But something in you is ready for change. You want to feel steady, understood, and clear about your next step. I can help you slow down, make sense of what's happening, and begin moving forward.
I work with adults, couples and families navigating anxiety, burnout, neurodivergence, codependency, identity exploration, relationship conflict and life transitions. I focus on attachment patterns, ADHD and Autism masking, premarital counselling, separation and divorce recovery, and supporting diverse identities and non-traditional relationship structures.
Clients come to me when they want a therapist who sees the full picture, not just the surface. Sessions are warm, collaborative, and never rushed. I meet you where you are and we work at your pace. You don't need the right words or a clear goal before reaching out. I offer a free consultation so we can explore whether working together feels right.

Mark Brower-Herbert
Counsellor/Therapist, CCC
My goal is to work myself out of a job. I want to help you build the skills, insight, and confidence you need to navigate life’s challenges long after therapy ends. Whether we’re working on relationships, coping strategies, or understanding your internal world, I focus on practical, meaningful change that you can carry forward into your daily life. Therapy with me is collaborative and grounded—I’m here to support you, challenge you when it’s helpful, and help you move toward a life that feels more connected, intentional, and resilient.

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counsellor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Life can feel so heavy when anxiety won’t let your mind rest, when fear wakes you at night, or when stress and self-doubt erode your confidence and faith. When burnout creeps in and relationships begin to crack, holding it all together can start to feel overwhelming.
At Rising Calm Center, we understand that weight. Our Christian counselors help young professionals, couples, and families find calm, rebuild trust, and walk in the peace Jesus promised—rather than performing under the pressures this world demands.
We integrate faith-based wisdom with evidence-based care, drawing from CBT, DBT, IFS, ACT, Gottman, EFT, Narrative Therapy, trauma-informed work, tapping, and breathwork. This combination helps you retrain your nervous system, heal emotional and spiritual wounds, and live with genuine peace.
Clients often come to us struggling with anxiety, insomnia, panic attacks, grief, burnout, relationship conflict, or a sense of spiritual disconnection. Here, you’ll find compassion, honesty, and practical tools to feel safe in your body and centered in your spirit again.
What we offer:
• Free consultations for new clients — relief can start now
• Same-week availability, including evenings (Mon–Thu until 8 p.m.)
• Sliding-scale rates for affordable care
• In-person, telehealth, or phone sessions
You don’t have to face the storm alone. There is calm on the other side—and together, we can find it.
