Zanna Seipp-Katz
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Recognizing that you may benefit from professional support is not a weakness but an amazing strength. By coming to this site, you have already taken the first step towards positive change and that takes courage! I know that for myself, the world feels like a very different place than it did a few years ago and many of us are feeling that impact. Therapeutic support is an excellent way to work through the changes of the past and to find ways to look toward a brighter future.
Whether you are looking for general support or to target a specific issue, I would be pleased to chat with you during a free 15-minute phone consultation.
I have immediate virtual availability for residents of Ontario.

Sierra Goldfinger
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying)
I believe therapy is a safe space to explore the thoughts, emotions, hopes, and challenges you experience, as well as the relationships and contextual factors impacting your life. I believe that as we deepen our understanding of ourselves, we are able to recognize the ways in which we are impacted by our experiences. This deepened awareness can help us be our most authentic selves and cultivate newfound meaning in our lives. I work with individuals, couples, families, and youth and offer a free consultation to see if I am the right therapist to support you through this journey.

Melanie Fuller
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Tired of being pathologized and feeling isolated? You are not alone.
Traumatic experiences are common yet unique to each person. While each person possesses unique resources and skills, trauma responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) can throw one off balance from their consistent, preferred way of living.
I am a registered psychotherapist (Q), practicing under the supervision of Christine Contant (RP, CTIC). My counselling and psychotherapy background consists of two years of behavioral counselling for individuals who experience developmental differences and one year (2019-2020) of experience providing supervised evidence-based trauma-informed psychotherapy (DBT, narrative therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive processing, somatic experiencing) at the Centre for Treatment of Sexual Abuse and Childhood Trauma (CTSACT) from September 2019-to 2020.
Currently, I practice online (private practice) and in-person while I complete my MC graduate thesis on parents' reflections of high-conflict co-parenting before, during and throughout the COVID-19 pandemic with Athabasca University.

Kathleen King
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Registered Social Worker
I am passionate about helping clients uncover and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and create new ways of thinking and feeling about the issues they are dealing with. I help adults dealing with an array of issues including anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, trauma, grief, self-confidence and self-worth, boundaries, and relationship and intimacy issues. In sessions together, we will lean into the uncomfortable feelings, thoughts and physical responses you may have been trying to avoid and that have been causing emotional distress, and help you regain your confidence in dealing with your specific challenges.

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!

Stephanie Wojciechowicz
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapists, CCC, c.o.
It is possible for everyone to find a balance in their life. In our work together, we will identify the emotions, thoughts and behaviours that occur in stressful situations. By identifying needs and wants, it provides clarity for yourself and also the dynamics of relationships you have with others. It will help determine the path that best suits your life.

Liz Dean
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.S.W., R.S.W
Feeling alone and stuck? Sometimes we find ourselves disconnected, insecure, anxious, angry, sad and exhausted - at ourselves, at the world, at our family and friends. And we don't know what to do about it. It can make us feel utterly alone. I would embrace the opportunity to support you to find a path forward and move more easily and authentically through life. My speciality is working with people with self-criticism and/or low self esteem - this can present as loneliness anxiety, depression, ADHD and struggles in relationships and with life transitions (jobs, relationships, new stages of life).

Matt Temple
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., R.P., C.C.C.
I focus on approaching your therapy with openness. I want to facilitate you in discovering how you have come to be the person that you are, developing acceptance, and finding ways forward that will lead you to feeling at home in yourself. I believe that we are responsible for our own experience of life, but that we have more freedom than it often feels. If you feel we might be a good fit, I welcome you to reach out for a consultation.

Ivan Pityk
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
My philosophy is that the past builds our being through the experiences we had and the lessons we learned. These experiences help to shape our sense of meaning and personal fulfilment through our journey. Therefore, I believe that it is important to explore the past and see how it shapes our experience in relation to ourselves and others. I incorporate this perspective in my work with clients and help to emphasize the power of choice, explore unmet needs and help to explore important areas for boundary setting.

I have the tools you need that can help you to feel better so you can take your life back. I have been where you are, and I want to help you so you don’t have to suffer anymore.

Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
I work with motivated individuals who are looking to work towards better understanding, dealing with, and changing their lives. Clients of mine often have behaviours, thoughts, feelings, or emotions that are dysfunctional or cause them discomfort, such as feeling anxious, depressed, confused, reactive, or scattered. Many of my clients have difficulty with behaviours they feel they have no control over, such as habits or addictions, aversions, or getting easily frustrated or angry. I help my clients understand why these issues occur and help them create tools and protocols such that they can create the changes they want.
