Lindsay Renaud (EMDR, Trauma, Relationship, ADHD)
Registered Psychotherapist, H.B.A., B.Ed., M.A., EMDR
Not sure where to start or if therapy will help? Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like something’s missing? Trauma, grief, relationships, ADHD, anxiety, career stress—it’s a lot to carry alone and it can drain our battery. I understand what it's like to sit in the client's seat with these feelings and thoughts and I am here to help. Think of me as your GPS—you set the destination, and I’ll help guide you, redirecting as needed along the way. I specialize in trauma, using approaches like EMDR and IFS to help you make sense of your past and lower the distress levels of those memories.
Further, being married/together for 15 years, I understand the complexities that relationships can bring. If you're looking for relationship counselling, I help couples improve communication and conflict through practical tools and strategies (using Gottman and EFT). Or maybe 4 walls are not for you? I also offer walk-and-talk therapy & animal therapy.
If you're ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, growth, and healing, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Please reach out to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation—I look forward to walking alongside you on your path, however that may look.

She specializes in helping people recover from trauma, PTSD, anxiety disorders, panic attacks, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions using evidence-based therapy tailored to each client's unique needs.

* Learning practical CBT strategies to change unhelpful thought patterns
* Building distress tolerance and emotion regulation using DBT skills
* Reducing anxiety and panic symptoms

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Therapy works best when you feel genuinely safe, understood, and able to speak openly. Many of my clients share that one of the most meaningful parts of our work together is not only the practical tools and strategies they gain, but also the sense of connection, honesty, and relief that comes from having a space where they can be real and experience real change.
My background includes social work, music therapy, palliative care, oncology, acute mental health, and service in the Canadian Armed Forces. I also bring lived experience with grief, trauma, chronic pain, and adversity, which deeply informs my compassionate and realistic approach.
I work with individuals who are often used to “holding it together” on the outside while internally feeling overwhelmed, burned out, disconnected, or stuck in painful patterns.
Together, we’ll figure out what actually works for you — not just generic advice. I take the time to understand your strengths, your struggles, and the deeper patterns that may be keeping you stuck so we can approach challenges in a way that feels realistic and meaningful.
We can do more than just manage symptoms or get through the day. My goal is to help you build a life that feels worthwhile.
