Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Finding your way back to a sense of balance, clarity, and inner steadiness is not always easy. Life can feel painful, confusing, or overwhelming at times, especially when you are carrying anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, grief, identity questions, or major life transitions.
In therapy, I see our work as collaborative. You are the expert on your own life and story, while I bring clinical training, curiosity, and experience to help us better understand what you are facing. My approach is person-centred, trauma-informed, and grounded in mindfulness. I integrate approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, CBT, MBCT, EMDR, CBT-I, and the Unified Protocol when appropriate.
I do not see mental health as the absence of painful thoughts or emotions. Difficult experiences are part of being human. What often matters is how we relate to those experiences and whether we can still move toward a life that feels meaningful, connected, and aligned with our values.
My hope is to offer a grounded, nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood as a whole person, not simply a collection of symptoms or problems. Together, we can work toward greater self-understanding, emotional steadiness, and meaningful change.

Alex Boersen: Redline Recovery Counselling and EMDR
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I’m a Registered Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from Wilfrid Laurier University and founder of Redline Recovery Counselling and EMDR. I work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, burnout, addiction, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions. I especially support men, youth, rural communities, and those in high-stress roles like first responders, healthcare workers, and frontline social service staff, creating a space where clients feel safe, understood, and supported.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and combines evidence-based modalities with insight from my own mental health journey. Using therapies like ACT, IFS, CBT, attachment-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, CBT for trauma, and EMDR. I ask people to come in with honesty, an open mind, and a willingness to change and participate in trying something new.
I’ve worked in hospitals, with the OPP, and in community mental health, giving insight into high-stress and crisis settings. I also provide Psychedelic-assisted therapy with Field Trip Health Waterloo. Originally from rural Perth County, I enjoy life with my wife, daughter, two dogs, and staying active through running, weight lifting, fishing, and the outdoors.

Jessica Batres - Raices Flourish
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Feeling stretched too thin? You're not alone.
If you're dealing with anxiety, burnout, or the exhausting cycle of perfectionism and people-pleasing, I get it. Life transitions—whether it's becoming a parent, navigating career shifts, or simply trying to figure out who you are outside of everyone's expectations—can leave you feeling depleted and disconnected.
Maybe you've checked all the boxes but still feel empty. Or you're so busy managing everyone else's emotions that you've lost track of your own. Anxiety shows up as overthinking, second-guessing, never feeling like you've done enough. Depression makes everything feel harder than it should be. And burnout? It's that deep exhaustion that rest doesn't fix.
Therapy doesn't have to be one more thing on your to-do list. It's a space where you can actually breathe, sort through what's happening, and build a life that feels like yours—not just one you're surviving. Whether you're wrestling with parenting challenges, trying to break free from old patterns, or simply need someone who sees the weight you're carrying—I'm here.
You don't have to keep doing this alone.
