Narrative
Samantha Dupre
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) (Intern Therapist)
My name, Samantha, means “the listener,” my goal is to listen to your story with care and sensitivity and reflect on it with you to discover the wisdom you already carry within. I believe safe and caring relationships (with people, nature and yourself) are essential to personal growth and resilience. My approach to therapy is practical and tailored to what you need to grow and strengthen these relationships. I know that it takes a lot of courage to admit that you are struggling and reach out for support, but I also know its empowering. If you’re ready to try, please reach out.

Kaylen Leonienco
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
I have always been passionate about working in the field of social work/psychotherapy. I aim to provide spaces where individuals can speak openly about life's challenges and be met with nothing but support and zero judgement. It has been rewarding to witness client's move through challenges and live the lives they have always dreamed of. Client's are also equipped with lifelong skills and coping strategies to be used when new challenges arise beyond our time working together.

Shane Smyth
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, OACCPP
I specialise in couples therapy. I love helping couples improve their relationship by increasing their ability to communicate openly and lovingly. I am trained in Gottman Couples Therapy to Level 3 and am a Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist. I have also completed several sex therapy intensive trainings. I have over 15 years helping couples. Sexuality and desire discrepancies are something that I enjoy working it as this often becomes a shut down topic for couples. I try to make therapy as accessible and easy going as possible. I believe that everyone has the right to have a rich and meaningful life and through therapy I hope to provide clients with the space and skills to access their own inner resources as well as build meaningful relationships.

Laird Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Exhausted from holding it all together?
From the outside, it looks like you have it all under control. But inside, you are running on empty.
You wake up already dreading the day’s demands, your mind foggy from another night of tossing and turning. The relentless whisper of self-doubt follows you everywhere, telling you that no matter how hard you work, it is never quite enough. You find yourself saying "yes" to everyone else while quietly suffocating your own needs, trapped in a cycle of burnout and being there for others' needs.
By the evening, you are desperately searching for a way to turn off the noise. Maybe it’s a second or third glass of wine to quiet your racing thoughts, or turning to food for comfort after a brutal day—only to be met with intense guilt, a harsh critique of your body, and a promise to "do better tomorrow."
This isn't a lack of willpower. It is the natural result of carrying too much for too long without a safe place to put it down.

Monika Georgieva
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc., RP
Hi! I am Monika - a fellow adventurer in this journey we call life! I am no stranger to the peaks of joy, the valleys of heartache, the roller coasters of emotions, the search for peace, and the mountains of uncertainty and challenge – they make life wild but also worth living! They have also helped me become a lifelong learner and someone who wants to support you in working through the ebbs and flows of your own journey.
So, how can I support you?
By offering you a space where you can pause, take a breath, check in with your inner compass, envision the destination, and consider the many paths you can take to get where you long to be. Together, we will explore the mission you are on – whether it’s about self-discovery, finding peace and happiness, rebuilding trust and connection, healing painful wounds, understanding emotions, or setting boundaries and managing pressure or expectations. We will also take a look at the paths you have already walked, the relationships you have encountered and built along the way, the strengths you have developed that have gotten you this far, and the things that you may need to keep going.
As your therapist, I welcome you with kindness and compassion, get genuinely curious about what feels most true to you that lights you up, cheer you on every step of the way, hold hope for what may seem both possible and impossible, and share an immense gratitude for your courage to forge the path that is meant to be yours.
A friendly reminder - I may also at times gently challenge you with deeper questions, tentative observations, and different perspectives. It is my hope that you will leave sessions with something new – whether that’s a feeling, resource, an idea, or question to ponder.
In the words of Maya Angelou - “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you”. I am here to support you in living out the stories that your life is meant to be about.

Narrative
Colin Hayward
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd
My goal in therapy is to create a space where you can say the things you haven’t felt able to say anywhere else. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who carry a lot on their own. They may talk things through with friends or family at times, but often hesitate to go too far because they don’t want to burden the people around them. In therapy, you have a place where you can speak freely and be fully heard.
Clients often tell me they’re surprised by how much they have to say once they begin. They may have spent years thinking through challenges in their lives, but haven’t had the opportunity to explore those thoughts out loud in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. My role isn’t to criticize the past, rush to conclusions, or tell you what decisions you should make. Instead, I focus on helping you understand your experiences, clarify what matters most to you, and find practical ways forward that feel authentic and sustainable.
I see therapy as a collaborative process that helps you better understand both your strengths and the challenges that come with them. Many qualities that serve us well in life—like sensitivity, dedication, or a strong work ethic—can also create difficulties when they become overwhelming or unbalanced. Together, we explore how these qualities shape your experiences, identify the patterns that may be holding you back, and build on the strengths that can help you move forward.
Sometimes this work involves learning specific tools or skills. Other times it involves taking the time to reflect, share important stories, and gain new perspective. Either way, my aim is to help you uncover resources within yourself that may have been overlooked and to support you in navigating difficult moments with greater clarity and confidence.
I tailor my approach to each person I work with because every individual’s experiences and goals are different. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, OCD, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can be a place to slow down, reflect, and make meaningful progress.

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.

Sunlight Counselling, Melody Mann
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I’m a registered social worker and psychotherapist who helps people navigate life’s hardest seasons — burnout, trauma, grief, and chronic illness. My approach is grounded in compassion and curiosity, creating a space where you can exhale, be seen, and begin to heal at your own pace.
I draw from EMDR, parts work, and mindfulness-based approaches to support the body and mind’s natural capacity to heal. Together, we’ll explore not only what hurts, but also what helps — uncovering new ways of relating to yourself, others, and the world around you.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply exhausted by doing it all, therapy can be a place to slow down, reconnect with your strength, and move toward a life that feels more aligned and sustainable.
