Susan Fehr
Registered Psychotherapist, RP Qualifying, MA
Parenting brings real joy alongside real difficulty, and it rarely looks the way anyone expects. I support parents navigating concerns at every stage — whether they're raising young children, working through conflict with teens, or finding their way in relationships with adult children.

Shanna Budzinsky
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Parenting is one of the most challenging roles we can undertake because each child has unique needs and there can be a lot of conflicting and confusing information out there. It can feel difficult to know what is right for your family, especially if challenges arise. Therapy for parenting can provide a supportive space to be able to work through difficult situations and explore approaches that work best for your family. When working with parents, we work together as a team because parents are the expert when it comes to their children. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit.

Laura Jean Northey
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA
I've taken an informal poll and I think it is safe to say that parenting is a mindf***. Becoming a parent and adjusting to the ongoing changes that confront parents as children grow is hard work, full of emotions and new experiences. Let's work together to help you understand how your parenting goals and style are impacted by your attachment, the parenting you yourself experienced, intergenerational dynamics, and your own relationship with yourself. I am especially influenced by attachment theory and non-oppressive parenting approaches.

Kitchener — often referenced alongside Waterloo as part of the Waterloo Region — is at the center 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.
