Donna McLean

I have six years' specialized experience supporting persons with dementia and their family and I draw on this experience to support you. The journey with dementia can be challenging, frightening, and frustrating for the person with the disease and their family, and I can help you navigate that journey, being present as you ride the ups and downs, and providing information about the disease and resources for support.

Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Alzheimer’s and memory-related changes can affect not only the person experiencing symptoms, but also family members and caregivers. Therapy can provide support around grief, stress, role changes, communication challenges, and the emotional weight of caregiving. I offer a compassionate space to process these changes and strengthen coping, support, and emotional resilience.

Kayla Rivera
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Supporting a loved one with Alzheimer’s can be emotionally and physically draining, and it can bring complicated grief and guilt. Therapy offers a place to process what you’re carrying, strengthen coping, and build sustainable boundaries in caregiving. You deserve support too, not just resilience.
4 Years Experience
Online in Barrie, ON
Barrie is a city on Kempenfelt Bay of Lake Simcoe north of Toronto that has become one of Ontario's fastest-growing communities as families and professionals seek more affordable housing within commuting distance of the city, and the resulting rapid growth has created both rising demand for therapy and the particular challenges of a community still building its social infrastructure. Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre provides hospital-based mental health services, and Georgian College contributes to the local supply of trained counsellors through its health and wellness programs. The proximity to Muskoka cottage country and year-round outdoor recreation options give the city a quality-of-life appeal, though cold winters and long commutes to Toronto are among the stressors residents bring to therapy. Common therapy concerns include commuter stress, relocation and transition challenges, seasonal affective disorder, and the pressures of family life in a rapidly changing community.
