Susan Fehr
Registered Psychotherapist, RP Qualifying, MA
Chronic stress wears people down in ways that are easy to normalize until it's no longer sustainable. I help clients identify what's driving their stress, build practical coping strategies, and create more breathing room in their day-to-day lives.

Sunlight Counselling, Melody Mann
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Stress can build slowly or hit all at once, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or disconnected from yourself. Whether you’re navigating burnout, caregiving demands, health challenges, grief, or a major life transition, stress can take a real toll on both mind and body.
In our work together, I offer a grounded, compassionate space to slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and reconnect with your inner resources. Drawing from EMDR, ACT, narrative therapy, and parts work, I help you understand your stress patterns, shift unhelpful beliefs, and build tools that support sustainable change-not just short-term coping.
My approach is holistic and collaborative. We pay attention to your body’s signals, your lived experiences, and the deeper stories shaping how you respond to stress. Together, we work toward greater clarity, self-trust, and resilience so you can move through life with more steadiness and ease.

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.
