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.

Tiffany Warmington
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP
I support individuals who are struggling with perfectionism, self-criticism, and the pressure to meet high or unrealistic standards. My approach is compassionate and trauma-informed, focusing on understanding the underlying patterns that drive perfectionistic thinking while supporting greater self acceptance and flexibility. Together, we can work toward reducing overwhelm, building self-compassion, and creating a more balanced and sustainable way of relating to yourself and your goals.

Vanessa Fingland
Counsellor/Therapist, CCPCPR.cand, RPC-C
Perfectionism can leave you feeling like nothing you do is ever good enough, driving anxiety, self criticism, procrastination, and constant pressure to meet impossible standards. Together, we'll explore the beliefs and patterns that fuel perfectionism, build self compassion, and develop healthier ways of measuring your worth that aren't based on achievement alone. My goal is to help you let go of unrealistic expectations so you can feel more confident, balanced, and free to enjoy your life.

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.
