Nakasha Ogbonna
Registered Social Worker, RSW
I am a dual province (Ontario & Alberta) registered social worker specializing in mental health. Before entering private practice, I served as the University of Calgary’s Mental Health Consultant where I was the primary on-campus therapeutic support for staff, faculty, and post doctorates. I now work in private practice supporting individuals, couples, families, and groups. I also have specialized training and experience working with first responders and their families in dealing with operational stress injuries. My breadth of experience includes work with patients accessing community public health as well as school aged youth in primary and secondary school divisions.
Life is hard enough. Therapy does not need to be overly stressful. For this reason I take a relaxed approach, infusing light humour while discussing your deepest thoughts and concerns. I aim for your time with me to be one of the best parts of your week, because it is where you know you can be your authentic self with a warm and non-judgemental supporter.
Therapy can work for anyone when there is a strong relationship between the client and therapist. For this reason I prioritize building a strong therapeutic partnership with my clients that is grounded on transparency, empathy, and unconditional support. Think of me as a GPS for your mind. You pick the destination and I’ll show you how to get there.

Lavendar Meadows Therapy
Pre-Licensed Professional, BSS, MACP, MST, OCT
Hi, I'm Lindsay! I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. Over the years I have had the opportunity to work in the school system as a certified teacher and at the rink, coaching young athletes in figure skating. During this time, I developed a passion in supporting children, teens and young adults.
My Counselling approach is focused on the therapeutic relationship, relational, holistic, client-centred and trauma-informed. I strive to create a non-judgemental environment guided by confidentiality, empathy, and compassion. My practice is supervised by a Registered Social Worker as I work towards my license.
Together we will work to enhance your self awareness, develop self compassion and challenge your thoughts that bring about specific emotions and feelings so you can live a more well-balanced and fulfilling life. I look forward to connecting with you!

Alison Duyck
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I am passionate about helping people to expand the story they write for themselves. We all carry with us a narrative of who we are and who we can become. Living with anxiety and depression, whether long standing or circumstantial, constrains our narrative: “This is who I am, this is who I will always be.” I see the process of therapy to be about connecting with your thoughts and emotions in a way that gives you control over how you respond to, and engage with, your world. I find it remarkable how small adjustments to these areas can have a profound impact on how you see yourself and those close to you. This is the beginning of a richer narrative.

Meaningfully Connected Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP
Our passion is helping people from various walks of life who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, angry or irritable. Are you experiencing relational difficulties or frustrations, and do you feel triggered by important others in your life? Do you sometimes find it difficult to identify or articulate your feelings? Do you cope with your feelings by avoiding them or shutting down? Do you sometimes 'people please', or feel driven to achieve to feel a sense of self-worth and safety, or to escape your feelings? Are you ready to get to the bottom of things? If you are interested in self-exploration, coping better, managing anxiety, perfectionism, trauma or depression, I can help. I understand the courage it takes to reach out for help, and how life can open up when you do. Our team strives to provide relevant, responsive and collaborative therapy by prioritizing rapport-building and using a compassionate approach so that you feel safe as you explore the experiences and feelings that are coming up for you today. You are not your difficulties, even though some days it can feel that way; and so it is just as important for us to explore your goals, strengths and story as we tackle the challenges that you are facing. We use an eclectic approach, drawing on numerous approaches including Emotion-Focused, Cognitive Behavioural/Acceptance and Commitment, Dialectical Behavioural, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems, Family Systems, Polyvagal theory, Solution-Focused and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing to tailor therapy to you. If you are looking for a compassionate therapist who cares not only about your difficulties, but also about how they developed and impact you, who is culturally sensitive and aware, and who will support your self-discovery, we would be honoured to be a part of your journey. Contact us today to schedule a complimentary consultation by phone where we can answer your questions. You deserve a meaningful and peaceful life.
Please note that at the moment, I am seeing all clients virtually.
