Kevin Jones
Psychologist, MACP
Kevin’s path to becoming a therapist wasn’t a straight line—it was a discovery of who he truly is and how he wants to contribute to the world. He initially followed the direction his parents encouraged, completing an undergraduate degree in psychology before moving into law. As a lawyer in a full-service firm, he found himself drawn not to the adversarial side of the work, but to the problem-solving, collaboration, and human connection that naturally unfolded when helping clients navigate difficult decisions.
Over time, Kevin realized that the parts of law he loved most—listening, understanding, and working together toward solutions—were exactly the pieces that aligned with his values and strengths. He began to ask himself how can I make this the whole job? That question ultimately led him back to psychology, where a collaborative, solution-focused approach could become the foundation of his work. Therapy, he realized, was where he could fully lean into who he is: calm, thoughtful, curious, and deeply oriented toward helping people move forward with clarity.
Kevin’s shift into couples counselling grew naturally out of his experience in divorce law. He often saw relationships break down not because of a lack of love, but because communication had eroded long before either partner sought help. Witnessing this was disheartening—it highlighted how many couples were struggling without support and how preventable many of those ruptures could have been.
As a therapist, Kevin now has the opportunity to be on the other side of that process. Couples counselling allows him to help partners strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and rediscover connection before the relationship reaches a breaking point. It’s meaningful work that aligns with both his professional insight and his personal desire to help people stay connected rather than fall apart.
Today, Kevin brings the best of both worlds—his background in psychology and his experience in law—into a grounded, practical, and deeply human therapeutic style. He is committed to creating a space where individuals and couples can understand themselves, improve their relationships, and navigate life’s complexities with confidence.

Antony Alexander
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
There are times when we know we want something to change, but aren’t quite sure what needs to change—or where to begin.
Perhaps you want to understand yourself better, improve your relationships, develop a stronger sense of self, or make sense of patterns that seem to keep repeating. Sometimes, what brings us to therapy is a specific concern; at other times, it is simply a feeling that something in our lives or relationships isn’t quite working the way we would like it to.
I work with adults around relationships, self-esteem, emotional patterns, life transitions, and the experiences that shape how we understand ourselves and relate to others. Together, we explore not only what is happening, but what may be underneath it.
You might find yourself asking: Why do I keep responding this way? Why do I struggle to trust or feel close to others? Why is it difficult to set boundaries? Why do I keep being so hard on myself? Why do certain experiences continue to affect me?
Rather than offering quick solutions or telling you what you should do, I believe therapy is a space to slow down, become curious about your experience, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself. We work collaboratively to explore the emotions, beliefs, relationships, and patterns that influence the way you experience yourself and the world around you.
My approach draws from Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioural (CBT), Psychodynamic, and Trauma-Informed approaches. I pay attention to both your present concerns and the deeper influences that may be shaping them, while keeping our work grounded in your individual experiences and goals.
Therapy doesn't have to begin with having all the answers. Sometimes, knowing that you want something to be different is enough of a place to start.
If you’re ready to explore what’s beneath the surface and understand yourself in a new way, I’d be glad to begin that exploration with you.

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.
