Andrea Wiebe
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Hello, I’m Andrea Wiebe, a therapist passionate about supporting individuals, couples, and pregnant and parenting people navigating trauma, mental health challenges, relationship difficulties, and existential concerns.
I am a Certified Perinatal Mental Health and Birth & Reproductive Trauma Specialist (CC-PMH, CC-BRT), an EMDRIA-trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist, and an ICEEFT-trained Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) therapist serving residents of Ontario, Canada. I am a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) and a member of the Ontario Association of Social Workers (OASW).
I hold a Master of Social Work from the University of Toronto (2013) and a Bachelor of Social Work and Social Development degree from the University of Waterloo. Since 2013, I have worked with clients from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds in individual, couples, and family counselling across various social service and counselling agencies. In 2019, I transitioned to private practice to focus on supporting: couples seeking deeper connection, pregnant and parenting people facing new or unexpected challenges, and individuals healing from past trauma while navigating the pressures of modern life.
In my practice, I take a holistic approach that considers the interplay of mental, emotional, physical, social, spiritual, and environmental factors in each person and relationship. My therapeutic approach integrates EMDR, EFT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).
I also draw on my lived experience of relationship challenges, mental health struggles, postpartum mood disorders, trauma, grief, parenting, and existential questioning. These experiences have shaped my approach to therapy, emphasizing practical guidance, compassionate support, and the empowerment of clients to see their situations differently, challenge unhelpful patterns, and create meaningful change.
Ultimately, my goal is to help clients feel safe to be authentic with themselves and their partner; communicate with curiosity; build confidence as a parent; problem-solve in a calm, non-judgmental way; live with self-awareness and compassion; heal from past trauma; release unhelpful beliefs and coping strategies; and cultivate joyful, meaningful lives grounded in love and connection with themselves and others.
I believe therapy is valuable for everyone, as no one is immune to life’s challenges. Speaking with a trained professional can empower individuals to overcome obstacles, achieve personal goals, and gain new insights into themselves and their relationships.
Please contact me if you would like to schedule a free consultation to ensure client-therapist fit and review important information before beginning therapy.

Cindy Jennings
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, RP
Living with addiction in a relationship can feel confusing, exhausting, and isolating. Many partners find themselves trying everything they can to help, while feeling increasingly powerless. My goal is to help you make sense of what’s happening, reconnect with your own voice, and develop more effective ways of responding that support both your well-being and the possibility of real change.
For over 30 years, I have had the privilege of helping individuals and couples navigate some of life’s most difficult relationship challenges, including alcohol and substance use concerns and the lasting effects of trauma. As a trained couples and family therapist, I have a particular focus on supporting partners and spouses whose lives have been deeply affected by a loved one’s addiction. As a Registered Psychotherapist, I draw on a wide range of evidence-based approaches to meet the unique needs of each person I work with. My training includes Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Motivational Interviewing, Somatic Therapy, and Exposure Therapy. These approaches allow us to work not only with practical skills for communication and boundaries, but also with the deeper emotional and relational patterns that keep people feeling stuck.
I strive to create a thoughtful, respectful space where you feel heard and understood. Together we can navigate the complexities of your situation and help you move toward greater clarity, stability, and confidence in how you move forward.

Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
My journey into this field is deeply personal. Having lived with anxiety, navigated grief, and taken on caregiving responsibilities early in life, I became committed to understanding mental health not only intellectually but in ways that could support genuine coping and healing.
I understand what it can feel like to be stuck, lost, or caught in what seems like an endless loop of discouragement and emotional fatigue. These experiences have shaped the empathy and perspective I bring to my work.
Through my work with individuals from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds, I have come to believe that human resilience is universal. Even in the most difficult circumstances, people find ways to endure and move forward. As a therapist, my goal is to support you in rediscovering your inner strength—helping you find clarity, reconnect with yourself, and rebuild a sense of hope and trust in your path forward.

Guelph is an Ontario university city home to the University of Guelph, particularly renowned for its veterinary college, agricultural programs, and biological sciences, and the mental health landscape here reflects both the distinctive stresses of veterinary and agricultural education—which carry some of the highest burnout and mental health burden of any professional training—and the broader needs of a growing, diverse university community. The city is part of Ontario's southwestern technology and manufacturing corridor, and a growing innovation economy has added a professional tech class alongside the traditional university community. Guelph General Hospital and the Homewood Health Centre—a nationally known mental health and addiction treatment facility based in Guelph—anchor local services, and a private therapy sector serves the wider community. Common therapy concerns include veterinary and agricultural training burnout, student mental health, anxiety, life transitions in a rapidly growing city, and the particular stresses of professional programs with high academic and emotional demands.
