Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
My journey into this field is deeply personal. Having lived with anxiety, navigated grief, and taken on caregiving responsibilities early in life, I became committed to understanding mental health not only intellectually but in ways that could support genuine coping and healing.
I understand what it can feel like to be stuck, lost, or caught in what seems like an endless loop of discouragement and emotional fatigue. These experiences have shaped the empathy and perspective I bring to my work.
Through my work with individuals from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds, I have come to believe that human resilience is universal. Even in the most difficult circumstances, people find ways to endure and move forward. As a therapist, my goal is to support you in rediscovering your inner strength—helping you find clarity, reconnect with yourself, and rebuild a sense of hope and trust in your path forward.

Chad Tomlinson
Registered Psychotherapist, MTS, MEd, MA, Rev.
Chad is an award winning therapist with 20 years experience... and doesn't actually enjoy writing in the third person. I'm a bit different than traditional therapists as I often have more smiles than tears in my office, but either way, my hope is to help individuals, couples, and families feel safe enough to share their lives. I find men who are nervous about trying therapy, women who want to understand their husbands better, and those who haven't had the best experience in therapy tend to really like my down to earth style that is influenced by my training in solution focused therapy, CBT, EFT, and DBT.

Samantha Horne
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Life can feel isolating at times - whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or addiction, I want to help you reconnect with your sense of safety, self-trust, and empowerment. I work to provide a welcoming space that allows for you to slow down and make sense of your experiences, and feel validated and seen. We will work collaboratively to explore your thoughts and behaviours, and determine what change can look like at your own pace as I approach from a harm-reduction, trauma-based. Please contact for a free 15-minute consult to assess if we are the right fit for each other or to schedule an initial session; I have various times available both weekdays and weekends.
