True Health Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Tracey Nguyen, Holistic Advanced Nurse Psychotherapist RN, MN
You are here because relationships and life for you have been an emotional and spiritual battle through your drained soul and body. Long-term narcissistic abuse, BPD, codependency and complex trauma have been a journey of living in survival mode. You are tired of suffering and not living better. You want better than this, and yes, you can have it. Many clients have told me they have been missing something from therapy after countless therapists - deep, soulful relationship healing and actionable steps that get into your heart of soul wounds, not just talk therapy and endlessly validating feelings. While we do this, we do so much more. Being in therapy with me is like experiencing the deep end of you with a professional best friend, shaman and prophetic healer in tune with your soul, body and spirit.
I will help you heal your complex trauma, navigate difficult relationships and guide you toward the reclamation of your soul, voice and power.
Evidence-based, integrative, holistic, complex trauma-informed DBT, mindfulness, Gestalt method and faith-based, I don't leave any part of you out of the equation - mind-body-soul-spirit healing. Where science, natural intelligence and God intersect. All parts of you deserve therapy at this deep level. If you're still reading and feel it, book a consultation with me. I look forward to connecting with you

Renee Chu
Registered Psychotherapist, Hon. BA., RP
Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, struggling with ADHD, anxiety, trauma, grief, or emotional regulation? Do intense emotions or communication challenges make it hard to build the connections you want? With compassion and curiosity, I invite you to explore the roots of recurring patterns so you can achieve lasting change and emotional well-being. What you need matters, and you don't have to face any of this alone.
As a BIPOC, trauma-informed therapist, I bring experience working with neurodivergence, complex relationships, challenging family dynamics, and narcissistic abuse recovery. I use a bicultural and mindfulness-based approach, drawing from CBT, DBT, IFS, psychodynamic, existential, person-centered, and narrative frameworks to tailor care to your goals. My practice is rooted in a lifelong interest in the interplay between our shared humanity and individual uniqueness, and I believe meaningful change is possible when you feel truly safe, heard, and seen.
I work with a gentle, validating style. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, to struggle, or to heal. Together we can explore entrenched patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and work through the barriers affecting your well-being and relationships. I tailor therapy to personal growth, healing, and identity exploration through culturally responsive, collaborative care, and I encourage you to be kind to yourself throughout the process.
I offer a complimentary 50-minute online consultation so we can get to know each other and explore whether we are a good fit. Reduced fees are available based on need. Reach out by phone or email, and let's take that first step together.

Corrine Wilde, Wilde Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Psychotherapy can change your life subtly and/or profoundly. The more we explore ourselves, the better we are able to make unique changes to our lives that create self-awareness, strength, creavitivity, joy, contentment and resilency. We all want to live our lives fully with purpose and meaning, healthy relationships and success. Most people know what they want in life, but are unsure of how to get what they want. Focusing on a positive future and moving towards it can be scary but ultimately it is a worthy endeavour.

As a Registered Psychotherapist and Clinical Director of Switzer Counselling & Psychotherapy Associates, I am passionate about providing compassionate, client-centered care that supports meaningful healing and personal growth.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual.

Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RP
“You’re too emotional.”
“You’re too sensitive.”
“You care too much.”
“You’re too hard on yourself.”
Do these judgments sound familiar?
If so, you’re not alone.
I’m passionate about working with individuals who experience the world deeply and whose sensitivity, intuition, and awareness are an important part of who they are. Being highly sensitive can be a strength, but it can also feel overwhelming when emotions, stress, or difficult experiences become hard to manage.
Many of my clients feel stuck despite their best efforts to cope. They may be navigating anxiety, self-doubt, grief and loss, or lingering effects of traumatic experiences, while relying on coping strategies that no longer seem to be working.
My goal is to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where we can make sense of what you’re experiencing and explore what may be keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll develop greater flexibility in responding to difficult thoughts and emotions, strengthen your connection with yourself, and build practical skills to navigate life’s emotional challenges.
You don’t need to become less sensitive or change who you are. Therapy can help you better understand and work with the way you experience the world—so you can move toward a life that feels meaningful, authentic, and truly your own.

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.

David Rockman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW RSW BA psych hon
In uncertain times, it is common to feel overwhelmed by difficulties and feel stuck in a cycle of challenges in the 6 general arenas of human experience: habituated repertoire of thoughts, emotions, soma, behaviours, situations, and environment. Many of the problems we experience are not our fault, but they can still have a significant impact on our mental health and well-being. As a psychotherapist with 27 years of experience in Toronto, I have helped countless individuals effectively and quickly resolve a variety of issues, including self-other relationship stressors, trauma from sexual abuse, emotional regulation, feelings of betrayal and abandonment, social anxiety, self-blame, self-esteem issues, motivation problems, and mis-transits of anger, shame and grief.
