Maya Oakes
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I recognize that starting therapy is not always the easiest choice; I'd like to acknowledge the courageous step you are taking to begin your journey. In our space together I will honour this strength and meet you where you’re at. My approach to therapy is to understand that you are the expert of your own life and you deserve an individualized treatment plan based on your unique needs, experiences, strengths and goals. There is no-one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, and as such, we will work together to understand what is needed in our space together to best support you. Together, we will work to establish goals, build resiliency and self-compassion, and identify effective coping skills and self-care tools.
I offer support to adolescents (13+) and adults experiencing issues related to anxiety, stress, depression, relationship concerns, trauma, grief, life transitions and self-esteem.
I would be honoured to be part of your therapy journey and I look forward to creating a safe space with you where you are offered the compassion and validation needed for processing, healing and growth.

Brian Baumal
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
I lost 100lbs and currently kept it off for eight years (I started August 15, 2012). I know the challenges of wanting so desperately to change but being unable to do so. I also know the constant mind chatter that plagues people who want to improve their health but just can't seem to do so. As a therapist, I take these issues and challenges very seriously, and work with clients to successfully find ways to manage their weight and health.
I remember at my heaviest weight, I wanted to talk to someone who had been there, done that & understood I so badly wanted to change and my frustration at not changing. I wanted someone who could quiet my mind when it worried about my weight and help me gain control of my body and life. I know what it's like to start losing weight, only to abandon the effort shortly thereafter. If you repeat that pattern and put your health and quality of life at risk, then you likely feel that there are issues that need to be addressed psychologically - I can help!
Finally, I absolutely love what I do, and I hope it shows in every session that I have with my clients.

Nora Taylor, MA, RP
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology 1994
My own experience of life has informed my practice as has my appreciation of the spiritual aspects of life. Depth psychology has long been an interest of mine since first reading Carl Jung's work in 1990. My practice is deepened by an appreciation of Buddhism and more recently neuroscience which provide more expansive views on how to work with the difficulties faced by simply being human.
