Matthew Pitts
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and driven, yet internally struggling with relationship conflict, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, career stress, or recurring interpersonal patterns that leave them feeling stuck. Therapy can offer a space to better understand these experiences, navigate difficult emotions and relationships, and develop more grounded and meaningful ways forward. My approach is collaborative, reflective, compassionate and direct when helpful. I aim to create a space where clients can explore difficult emotions honestly, while feeling supported, understood, and challenged toward growth. Prior to becoming a Registered Psychotherapist, I worked as a family law lawyer. That experience informs my understanding of conflict, emotional strain, and the complexity people carry beneath outward competence. My life experience also includes marriage, parenthood, and work within finance/asset management which shapes the perspective I bring into therapy. In couples work, I help partners better understand recurring cycles of conflict so that more emotionally honest, insightful and productive conversations may emerge. Whether for individual therapy or couples therapy, finding the right fit is essential. I invite you to reach out for a brief consultation to see if we would work well together.

Masha Andreeva
Registered Psychotherapist, HonBA, DTATI, RP
I am an Art Therapist specializing in trauma-informed, holistic, and creative approaches to therapy. My practice is rooted in reconnection—to yourself, your body, nature, and the present moment. I offer a safe and supportive space where you can explore your inner world, process emotions, and move beyond limiting patterns toward deeper self-understanding and fulfillment.
Drawing from over two decades of experience in psychology, meditation, yoga, art therapy, music, and shamanic practices, I integrate psychotherapy, art therapy, mindfulness, and culturally sensitive modalities to help you cultivate balance and self-awareness. My work is deeply informed by my studies in meditation, yoga, music as medicine, and my time learning from mestizo healers in the Amazon.
I believe in the power of creativity—the art-making process can facilitate deep emotional processing and insight. Many of my clients find that working with symbols and creative expression allows them to navigate trauma in a way that feels intuitive, safe, and meaningful.
With a gentle yet deep, structured yet intuitive approach, I support clients—often those processing childhood trauma—as they reconnect with their unique truth. Whether you are navigating life transitions, seeking emotional clarity, or longing to reclaim your authentic self, I am here to guide and support you.
Let’s begin this journey together. Reach out to explore how we can work toward growth and transformation.
