Alex Ozon Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, RCT, CCC
I'm a Registered Counseling Therapist who believes that therapy should feel safe, supportive, and tailored to you. My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I help clients explore the connection between past experiences and present challenges, while building practical skills for coping and healing. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just looking for a space to sort things out, I’m here to support you in making sense of what’s going on and finding a way forward that feels authentic and managable. I know how important it is to feel seen, heard, and understood—and that’s what I aim to offer in every session.

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.

Sydney is the urban centre of Cape Breton Regional Municipality and the primary city on Cape Breton Island, a former industrial centre whose steel industry collapsed across the 1960s–2000s, leaving behind one of Canada's most contaminated industrial sites—the Sydney Tar Ponds—and a community that has grappled with the environmental, economic, and psychological legacy of industrial decline and contamination for generations. The Cape Breton Regional Hospital provides mental health services, and the community's tight-knit social fabric—Cape Breton is known for its Celtic cultural traditions, music, and community solidarity—provides genuine protective factors against isolation. Cape Breton University contributes to a modest growth in the regional knowledge economy alongside a student mental health dimension. Common therapy concerns include economic grief and community loss following industrial decline, environmental trauma, seasonal depression in an Atlantic climate, and the mental health challenges of a community that has shown remarkable resilience while confronting genuinely difficult circumstances.
