Laura Jean Northey
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA
I provide individual therapy, both in-person and online, to clients who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relational issues, and burnout. I have been told by clients that my calm demeanour and caring, non-judgmental stance helps them to feel safe and comfortable to express themselves. Therapy with me is client-led, meaning you decide what we talk about, but I'm here to help you make sense of it and understand how lifelong patterns and unconscious beliefs might be influencing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.

Rikki-Lee Epp
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA, Dipl. Psych.
Living with chronic illness, ADHD, or autism can feel like moving through a world that wasn’t built with your needs in mind. The pressure to mask, push through, or repeatedly explain yourself can lead to immense grief, anxiety, depression, burnout, loneliness, and a deep sense of feeling unseen and misunderstood.
As a neurodivergent therapist with lived experience of chronic pain, and a parent to neurodivergent children, I understand the emotional and physical toll daily life can take. This is why I offer a therapeutic space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment or pressure to perform. Instead of seeing chronic illness and neurodivergence as something to be “fixed,” I believe people often need supportive tools and thoughtful guidance to live in ways that honour their unique needs and nervous systems.
My work is grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy, guided by empathy and curiosity. Together, we move beyond temporary symptom relief by uncovering how past relationships and experiences shape your current reality (thoughts, behaviour, emotions). This approach fosters insight and self-awareness in an accepting environment, opening the door to lasting, meaningful change.
I invite you to reach out for free 30-minute virtual consultation to see if we are the right fit for your therapeutic journey.

Lisa O'Donovan
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
You may be feeling disconnected from yourself or others, struggling with healthy boundaries, or wanting a deeper sense of self-understanding. Repeating patterns in relationships, or the ongoing impact of (C-PTSD) childhood trauma, relationship or family dysfunction, addiction, PTSD & accumulative occupational trauma exposure can feel overwhelming, confusing, & exhausting.
I offer a safe, compassionate space to explore your story, reconnect to your sense of self, & work towards emotional processing. Together, we can make sense of your experiences, support your nervous system, cultivate self-compassion and create meaningful shifts.
Together, we will focus on emotional organization, acceptance, and integration, empowering you to embrace self-compassion, cultivate acceptance, and foster empowerment. My goal is to help you increase emotional awareness and make conscious, positive changes that align with your authentic sense of self.
I invite you to explore your inner world in a space that values your unique experiences, your growth, and your emotional well-being.

Gwen Shandroski, Expressive Arts Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc, S-LP(C), R.P.
I help my clients/patients feel comfortable to begin therapy. I have gone through this process as a client and as a therapist many times. Feeling understood and having someone help you take a look at what is going on can be very refreshing and provide some hope. My background in speech-language pathology has prepared me to work with clients who have difficulty expressing themselves. Expressive arts therapy is an alternative way to reach feelings and represent the experience you're having.

Eric Hammer
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MPT
Are you a man struggling in his relationship and seem to be repeating the same painful patterns over and over again? Hi, I'm Eric and I understand how difficult changing behaviours can be. My purpose and passion is to empower men to gain greater self awareness, self compassion and self love. Through psychodynamic psychotherapy, my hope is that men can learn to love and accept themselves and be able to develop healthier relationships in their lives.
If you can relate to these struggles, please reach out for a free initial consultation to see if we would be a good fit.

Kitchener — often referenced alongside Waterloo as part of the Waterloo Region — is at the centre of Canada's most significant technology hub outside Toronto, home to the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University, and dozens of major tech startups and scale-ups, creating persistent demand for therapists who work with innovation-sector burnout, high-stakes career pressure, and the psychological costs of startup culture. The region's growing immigrant population from South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East adds cultural diversity to therapy demand that the private therapy community is still catching up to reflect. Grand River Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside an active private therapy community. Kitchener's rapid diversification — beyond its German-heritage Oktoberfest identity — shapes a dynamic and evolving therapy culture.
