Lydia Bennett
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, BA Psychology
My passion for psychotherapy comes from my own experiences with relationships. I’ve learned that our greatest joys—and our toughest struggles—often come from the connections we share with parents, partners, children, friends, and colleagues. These relationships shape not only how we see the world but also how we experience ourselves.

Jessie Erb
Registered Psychotherapist, DPsychotherapy
I work from a Relational Psychodynamic and Integrative framework, making sure that we find a therapeutic framework that fits you and your unique needs.
When you see me you won't be seeing an overly clinical or 'removed' therapist, but rather a real person who meets you just as you are. I am warm, empathic, and non-judgmental - providing an environment that is safe so that you can explore all concerns and distress that have brought you to therapy.
I believe that anyone, regardless of class, sexuality, gender, race/ethinicity is valuable and deserves the best care I can give them. I would be honoured to work with you! Check out my website centredself.ca for more info.
I am taking new clients and have a great team of psychotherapists who are also here to help, including our new reduced cost therapy program. Message today for a free 20-min consultation for us to find a fit that suits you!

Chad Tomlinson
Registered Psychotherapist, MTS, MEd, MA, Rev.
Chad is an award winning therapist with 20 years experience... and doesn't actually enjoy writing in the third person. I'm a bit different than traditional therapists as I often have more smiles than tears in my office, but either way, my hope is to help individuals, couples, and families feel safe enough to share their lives. I find men who are nervous about trying therapy, women who want to understand their husbands better, and those who haven't had the best experience in therapy tend to really like my down to earth style that is influenced by my training in solution focused therapy, CBT, EFT, and DBT.

Hardie Counselling & BrainWorX, Inc
Registered Psychotherapist, BFA, B.Ed, MA, CPC, CCPCPR, CCAC, ICADC, CSAT, CCTP, CCTACP
For over three decades, I have had the privilege of helping clients while striving to provide the very best of counselling therapy they have entrusted me with. I am committed to excellence by staying at the forefront of therapeutic advancements, integrating current and effective techniques to empower clients in achieving their goals efficiently. In my practice, I provide a safe, comfortable, and supportive space where individuals can flourish, develop self-assurance, and embrace their full potential. My mission is to help clients overcome challenges, unlock their ability to lead fulfilling lives, and realize their authentic selves. I am dedicated to ensuring each individual feels seen, heard, and empowered to reach their goals.
Counselling has had a transformative impact on my own journey, serving as a powerful means of redemption and personal growth. It is now an immense blessing for me to be able to provide counselling for others, extending hope and facilitating healing in their lives, a possibility I firmly believe in because I, too, have navigated and overcome what once appeared to be insurmountable challenges and obstacles. I have made many mistakes and experienced many challenges, heartache, and sorrow, as well as incredible blessings in my lifetime. Today, I give God thanks for all His gifts – for the peace and assurance that I have even in difficult circumstances; for health, healing, and forgiveness; for family and friends; for the opportunity to do the work I do; and for His love that permeates my life.
I was divorced after 27 years of marriage and have two adult children. I married Bob Hardie in 2000, but was widowed in 2008. I have since remarried to a rancher who was also widowed. Together, we have 4 children, 8 grandchildren (one in Heaven), and 1 great-grandchild. We enjoy traveling and spending time with friends and family.
In addition to my private practice, I have a strong commitment to community outreach through my church, where I have actively facilitated various supportive and educational classes. These include GriefShare, a comprehensive program specifically designed to assist individuals navigating the complexities of grief and loss after experiencing the passing of a loved one. I also lead the Boundaries class, which is tailored for those facing separation or divorce, providing valuable insights and practical strategies to cultivate healthier relationships by establishing and maintaining personal boundaries. Furthermore, I facilitate the Changes That Heal class, offering a transformative experience that empowers participants to gain a deeper understanding of their past experiences, enabling them to build a more resilient and fulfilling future.

15 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.
