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.

Taking the first step towards therapy can be overwhelming. My goal is to provide a safe space where you feel comfortable sharing your challenges. My practice focuses mostly on anxiety, and relationship challenges. Together, we will work to modify the patterns that are no longer serving you.

Vanessa Gear
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Is your child or teen feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, ADHD, school challenges, or difficulty managing big emotions? Perhaps learning differences, neurodivergence, family conflict, or life transitions are creating stress at home or school. I work with children, teens, adults, and families who want a supportive space to better understand these challenges. Together, we focus on building emotional regulation, confidence, coping skills, and stronger relationships so clients feel more capable, understood, and supported in their daily lives.
I specialize in supporting children, teens, and families navigating ADHD, autism (ASD), anxiety, school issues, learning challenges, and life transitions. Using CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and experiential approaches, including play-based techniques, I help clients strengthen emotional regulation, build coping skills, and develop greater confidence and resilience
Behind every behaviour is a story waiting to be heard. If you or your child feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck, therapy can provide a supportive space to slow down and make sense of what’s happening. Together we’ll explore strengths, build practical tools, and create meaningful change so you can move forward with greater confidence and connection.

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.
