Pickering, Ontario therapist: Britney Victor, registered social worker
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

Britney Victor

Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Your days look successful to others, yet anxiety races beneath the surface. You lie awake replaying conversations, feel your chest tighten in meetings, and wonder why simple tasks drain all your energy. You may catch yourself scrolling, overeating, or snapping at people you love, then feel guilty. Deep down you want calm, confidence, and relationships that don’t exhaust you. You’re ready to understand where these stress loops come from and finally learn skills to break them so you can show up at work, at home, and for yourself with steady ease. I blend evidence-based tools—CBT, DBT, mindfulness—with a warm, anti-oppressive lens. Together we map the patterns driving your stress, teach body-based calming skills, challenge rigid thoughts, and practise boundary-setting. Every session ends with a concrete exercise so progress feels immediate and measurable. Therapy is a big step, and fit matters. Visit my website and book a free 15-minute consult, or tap the email button, and I’ll get back to you. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us via phone or email. If I’m not the best fit, I’ll connect you to someone who is. Relief starts with one step; take it today.

Pickering, Ontario therapist: Kayla Rivera, registered psychotherapist
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

Kayla Rivera

Registered Psychotherapist, RP
I believe meaningful change begins when you feel truly seen and safe enough to be honest. Many of the people I work with are high achievers and caregivers who have spent a long time holding it together, even while feeling anxious, disconnected, or drained. They’re often tired of people pleasing, overthinking, or repeating relationship patterns that leave them feeling unseen. Before I became a therapist, I was a classically trained pianist. Music taught me how to listen closely, notice what’s unspoken, and sit with emotion without rushing it away. That early foundation shaped the way I work now: with patience, attunement, and deep respect for your story. In therapy, we’ll gently unpack what’s keeping you stuck, build emotion regulation and self trust, and help you move toward balance, clarity, and more secure connections. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

If you’re feeling stuck in patterns that keep repeating, anxiety, conflict, disconnection, shame, or trauma reactions that won’t let go, you’re not alone. I work with individuals, couples, and families who want life to feel steadier, relationships to feel safer, and emotions to feel more manageable. My style is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed, with a strong focus on helping you feel heard, respected, and supported while we build practical steps toward change.

Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

Madeleine Krupl

Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I don’t see people as problems to fix, but as humans with stories to be held, pain to be witnessed, and strengths to be illuminated. My role is a steady, compassionate presence—curious, culturally humble, and practical—so you can feel safer, think more clearly, and make changes that last. Together we’ll move at your pace, building skills and resilience while we heal what hurts.

Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

Jessica Batres - Raices Flourish

Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Feeling stretched too thin? You're not alone. If you're dealing with anxiety, burnout, or the exhausting cycle of perfectionism and people-pleasing, I get it. Life transitions—whether it's becoming a parent, navigating career shifts, or simply trying to figure out who you are outside of everyone's expectations—can leave you feeling depleted and disconnected. Maybe you've checked all the boxes but still feel empty. Or you're so busy managing everyone else's emotions that you've lost track of your own. Anxiety shows up as overthinking, second-guessing, never feeling like you've done enough. Depression makes everything feel harder than it should be. And burnout? It's that deep exhaustion that rest doesn't fix. Therapy doesn't have to be one more thing on your to-do list. It's a space where you can actually breathe, sort through what's happening, and build a life that feels like yours—not just one you're surviving. Whether you're wrestling with parenting challenges, trying to break free from old patterns, or simply need someone who sees the weight you're carrying—I'm here. You don't have to keep doing this alone.

Ottawa, Ontario therapist: Kristen See, registered psychotherapist
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

Kristen See

Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
My therapeutic style is neuro-affirming, relational, and eclectic. You can expect friendly banter, a collaborative process, the option to actually get to know your therapist (I'm not here to be a stranger to you), and an approach that shifts with your needs and goals rather than a textbook treatment plan. In short, some sessions may be rooted in skill work, others may require more trauma-informed care. I offer therapy that meets you where you're at. I also understand that neurodivergent clients are neurodivergent 100% of the time - my goal is to provide a service that accommodates and accepts the ADHD / AuDHD experience. Fun facts about me: - I'm in my 30's / I'm a millennial - Diagnosed with ADHD later in life. - I love to laugh but can sit in silence. - Lover of cats, nature, and reality tv. -Always on the hunt for a good chip truck.
