Compassion Focus Therapy
Sarah Elizabeth McMillan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MA, MSW, RSW
What would living a meaningful life with illness, pain and uncertainty look like for you? Where do you want to spend your precious time and energy? How do you want to treat yourself and others during these challenging times? I help my clients answer these and similar questions based on their personal values so they can show up in their lives in ways that are authentic and fulfilling to them.
As someone who lives with serious medical conditions, I am attuned to the challenges of living with an unpredictable body and uncertain future. Whether you're facing a sudden life change, a progressive illness or a long-term health challenge, my practice focuses on supporting folks currently struggling against what they can’t change about themselves, their body and the world around us.

Emma Heutschi
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Ed. Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychotherapist
I will always be sensitive to your needs while we work to deeply understand who you are, what is going on for you, and what you want. I will fully listen to you in a safe place with zero judgement, as we bring awareness to your issues and discover solutions. Feelings of shame, confusion and guilt will be resolved together, as I will challenge your thoughts to develop more balanced thinking and guide you to understand and express your emotions.
It takes courage to ask for help, thus I see all clients as strong and capable of change, otherwise they would not be in my office. My commitment is to meet you where you're at and to help you feel safe exploring whatever you're struggling with. I can teach you skills for developing boundaries, regulating your emotions, communicating more effectively, and much more. I will support you to achieve your goals and to build self-compassion and self-reliance.

Sehr Athar
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I believe that healing is growth in the face of adversity; it is a journey of coming (back) into yourself with deep self compassion, and we all have insight into how to get there. Sometimes we just need a bit of support along the way; someone to hold (non judgemental space) and work alongside us to find solutions, develop coping strategies and build on our innate skills and wisdom so that we are more emotionally resilient to life's challenges. I look forward to holding this space for you.

Jess Erb
Registered Psychotherapist, DPsychotherapy
I work from a Relational Psychodynamic and Integrative framework, making sure that we find a therapeutic framework that fits you and your unique needs.
When you see me you won't be seeing an overly clinical or 'removed' therapist, but rather a real person who meets you just as you are. I am warm, empathic, and non-judgmental - providing an environment that is safe so that you can explore all concerns and distress that have brought you to therapy.
I believe that anyone, regardless of class, sexuality, gender, race/ethinicity is valuable and deserves the best care I can give them. I would be honoured to work with you! Check out my website centredself.ca for more info.
I am taking new clients and have a great team of psychotherapists who are also here to help, including our new reduced cost therapy program. Message today for a free 20-min consultation for us to find a fit that suits you!

Ms. Alison Fosbery
Registered Psychotherapist, MA
You have probably started looking into therapy to help manage symptoms of anxiety. I help women who are struggling with the same obstacles you are facing. I know you have goals that you are trying to reach, but you likely need some support to learn how to process the past, remain present, and cope effectively.
Most of my clients are also struggling in their relationships. We will explore attachment styles and any other habits that might be negatively contributing to the already excruciating process of dating in 2023.

New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
We are a team of Registered Psychotherapists and Social Workers who specialize in supporting individuals through effective and research backed trauma, relationship, and sex therapy.
We began as a trauma focused clinic - our team has a solid understanding of the countless small and large ways that trauma impacts us. We work with traumatic stress and related difficulties such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD and complexPTSD), addiction, self-harm, and suicide ideation. We support survivors of sexual violence as well as those who have experienced emotional and physical abuse, criminal victimization, bullying, war, and near death experiences.
We've found that as people heal, relationships and intimacy naturally becomes a secondary focus. For this reason we offer family, couples, and sex therapy. We support individuals of all gender and sexual identities and relationship structures.
We respect diversity and differences in opinions, values and attitudes. This is reflected through individualized treatment plans which consider each individuals lived and generational experiences. We strive to provide culturally-sensitive, non-discriminatory, and affirming care to culturally diverse populations and BIPOC, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, kink and polyamorous communities.
Our goal is to help you break free from your past and rediscover a fulfilling life filled with joy and connection.

If you feel called to engage in a deeply expansive, experiential process steeped in a compassionate and heart-centered approach to healing and wellness and to learn how to let go of the illusion of control through holding on to the story about the your issue or illness, to let go of your attachment to the story, to let go of using it as an excuse to avoid growing, I am honoured to serve you and assist you to facilitate your own healing. I am an experienced therapist with over 20 years experience in mental health assessment, therapy and wellness coaching.
