Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Alexis Banyai
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, and patterns rooted in past experiences. Many of my clients struggle with feeling constantly on edge, disconnected from themselves or others, or caught in cycles of self-criticism, people-pleasing, or emotional reactivity. I have a particular interest in supporting individuals who want to better understand their nervous system responses, build emotional regulation, and develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves. Clients work with me because they want therapy to feel safe, warm, and collaborative. I work from a person-centred, trauma-informed approach, integrating mindfulness tools and practical coping skills. Sessions are guided by your needs and comfort level, allowing us to move at a pace that feels supportive and respectful.

Sonya Sethi-Rankin: Healing Matters Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RSSW
Life can be beautiful, but it can also be incredibly hard.
When pain, loss, or confusion take hold, it’s easy to get caught in cycles that feel impossible to break. Sometimes, no matter how capable you are, the weight of it all can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of who you are anymore.
In therapy, we slow things down. Together, we untangle the patterns that keep you repeating the same pain experiences — in your thoughts, in your relationships, or within yourself. Whether you’re facing trauma, anxiety, addiction, grief, or emotional exhaustion, you don’t have to do it alone.
My work supports individuals and couples through the moments that feel unbearable — helping you rediscover stability, clarity, and connection. Healing isn’t about erasing the past; it’s about transforming how you carry it, so you can move forward with strength, authenticity, and self-compassion.

Chad Tomlinson
Registered Psychotherapist, MTS, MEd, MA, Rev.
Chad is an award winning therapist with 20 years experience... and doesn't actually enjoy writing in the third person. I'm a bit different than traditional therapists as I often have more smiles than tears in my office, but either way, my hope is to help individuals, couples, and families feel safe enough to share their lives. I find men who are nervous about trying therapy, women who want to understand their husbands better, and those who haven't had the best experience in therapy tend to really like my down to earth style that is influenced by my training in solution focused therapy, CBT, EFT, and DBT.

Chelsey Yaremchuk - Affordable therapy (ADHD/ASD, Trauma, Anxiety, Depression)
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Accepting New Clients - 2026 | Free First Session! (Limited Time) | Virtual Therapy
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in unhelpful patterns? Maybe you’re struggling with stress, relationships, self-doubt, or past experiences that still affect you today. You don’t have to navigate this alone. Think of me like your GPS: you set the end spot, and I will guide and redirect you along the way.
Hi, I’m Chelsey, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), and I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to explore what’s holding you back and build the life you want. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs.
I work with adults, teens, couples, and families who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, trauma, and life transitions. Together, we’ll identify patterns, develop practical coping tools, and strengthen your sense of confidence and resilience.
My background includes experience in educational and community mental health settings, supporting children, adolescents, and adults with diverse emotional and learning needs. This allows me to bring a holistic, strengths-based perspective into my work.
I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centred Therapy. Sessions are always adapted to fit your goals, comfort level, and pace. I believe therapy works best when you feel truly understood and supported.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, true crime documentaries, spending time outdoors, and being with my dogs. I bring authenticity, curiosity, and genuine care into every session.
If you're ready to take the first step, let's chat. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to ensure we'd be a good fit for each other. I look forward to meeting you!

Jennifer Morley
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MA, BSc, BA, CCPA
It’s not easy being human right now. Especially when you’re carrying anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, or the quiet exhaustion that comes from holding everything together for everyone else. I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves or the people they care about, and who are ready for meaningful change.
My approach to therapy is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I draw from evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, helping clients build insight, emotional regulation, and healthier patterns in relationships. I place strong emphasis on safety, trust, and understanding the whole person, not just the symptoms that brought them to therapy.
I have extensive experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, high stress, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. I believe therapy should feel like a space where you don’t have to perform, explain away your feelings, or have it all figured out. Together, we slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and work toward greater clarity, connection, and emotional ease.
