Katie Pula
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Learning to bring mindful attention to our mental health and how we are impacted by our experiences hones our ability to tend to ourselves more deeply. By deepening our sense of self, we grow and strengthen our capacity to experience well-being in the world and in relationships. The capacity to help ourselves in our struggles often begins with naming and identifying our emotions, thoughts and root causes. From here, we can make choices to tend to ourselves with greater care, bringing the change and growth we need for healing.
I am committed to bringing awareness and acknowledgement to the oppression that exists within racial, cultural, religious, gender, and sexual identities and experiences. I am dedicated to understanding how it exists in my client’s life and how it interacts with both of our beliefs and behaviour. I recognize that I as a white woman I benefit from white privilege, and am committed to addressing how systemic oppression might influence our relationship. I am committed to being informed about my client’s cultural context so that I am aware of how this impacts the nature of their experiences.

Steve Rose
Counsellor/Therapist, PhD, MA, BA, CGC (CCPC Global)
Using substances or addictive behaviours to cope with underlying issues, you get short-term relief at a long-term cost. As you lose control, your health and relationships may be affected. You may then begin to realize the substance or behaviour is the problem, masking as the solution.
If you've tried to stop and keep finding yourself back where you started, it can be frustrating. Counselling can help remove mental barriers, allowing you to break free from ineffective coping strategies so you can gain a sense of control, clarity, confidence, and start living the life you want.
I often hear people say they try to reach out, but they don't feel understood. They often feel judged, unheard, or feel the person trying to help them has a hidden agenda. My approach is highly person-centered, meaning I help clients create a plan that works for their unique situation. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to addiction recovery.
It can be hard to reach out for support. Many people wonder, "will it work for me?" and "what if things never change?" In early recovery, there's a lot of uncertainty. Luckily, long-term change is quite common, with the right support. If you don't know where to start, reach out for a free phone consultation and I can help guide you through the process.

Life is a journey comprised of the choices we make. We all have the ability to change course at any time by making different choices. No one is stuck, and no one has to be a victim to their past, their mistakes or feel trapped by their behaviors. Even our mistakes or tragedies we have experienced, have the power to transform us in brilliant and beautiful ways, if we chose to take responsibility. My practice is based on the idea of Kintsukuroi. This is the Japanese art of pottery repair, in which broken pieces of pottery are mended using precious metals. The resulting piece is often more beautiful than it was before it was broken. Its cracks make it unique, and the shining way it has been mended now becomes a valuable feature.
I believe that difficult times do not have to break us, but can help us grow , and our cracks can become opportunities to mend ourselves back together in beautiful ways. Our cracks can be reminders that even broken things can still be golden.

As a compassionate therapist, I strive to create a safe space for individuals to explore worries about being liked and patterns of overthinking that could be impacting life day to day. Working in collaboration, I support in creating a space where individuals feel comfortable exploring what may be affecting important relationships in their world. With flexibility and curiosity, supports are tailored to your individual needs, searching for strategies that will reduce patterns of overthinking, build boundaries, and manage uncomfortable or unwanted thoughts or feelings, all while highlighting your strengths and building confidence and security with your self.
