Michelle Bilodeau
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Having a non-judgemental, empathic and understanding therapist can help us heal and process difficult emotions and experiences. And I aim to be that type of therapist for all my clients. I am a spouse, parent, former journalist, and a Caucasian woman who is committed to anti-oppressive, feminist, and harm-reduction values.

Carlos "Charlie" Garcia
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, LMHC, CCC, MSc, MBA, CCTP
Something feels off, and maybe you've been pushing through it for a while now. Anxiety that won't quiet down. A relationship that's started to feel more like work than connection. Questions about who you are, what you want, or what you actually need, that you haven't had space to sit with.
That's what therapy with me is for.
I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, identity, and sexuality, relationship challenges like communication challenges, trust issues, conflict, and repair, and intimacy and sexual concerns that often go unspoken. I'm not here to hand you a protocol. I'm here to help you understand what's actually happening for you and move through it in a way that fits your real life.
If you've been waiting for a space that's honest, real, affirming, and doesn't feel clinical or preachy, this is it.

Mariya Garnet
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist ( Qualifying)
When everything looks right but something still feels off, somatic, trauma-focused therapy is where the work begins.
You already recognize the pattern. Understanding it hasn't closed the gap between knowing and feeling, because the real shift happens in the body, not the story.
Maybe you've done therapy already, and you still don't have what you came for: the ability to make a decision without arguing with yourself, to feel present in your own life, to sleep without your mind still running.
What this supports, over time, is a slow and gentle return to aliveness.

Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RP
“You’re too emotional.”
“You’re too sensitive.”
“You care too much.”
“You’re too hard on yourself.”
Do these judgments sound familiar?
If so, you’re not alone.
I’m passionate about working with individuals who experience the world deeply and whose sensitivity, intuition, and awareness are an important part of who they are. Being highly sensitive can be a strength, but it can also feel overwhelming when emotions, stress, or difficult experiences become hard to manage.
Many of my clients feel stuck despite their best efforts to cope. They may be navigating anxiety, self-doubt, grief and loss, or lingering effects of traumatic experiences, while relying on coping strategies that no longer seem to be working.
My goal is to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where we can make sense of what you’re experiencing and explore what may be keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll develop greater flexibility in responding to difficult thoughts and emotions, strengthen your connection with yourself, and build practical skills to navigate life’s emotional challenges.
You don’t need to become less sensitive or change who you are. Therapy can help you better understand and work with the way you experience the world—so you can move toward a life that feels meaningful, authentic, and truly your own.
