At Lumos Counselling, we believe that the counselling process is a collaborative approach where the patient determines where they are going and the therapist provides the directions. Our philosophy to counselling is to empower patients so that they are able to work through stressors with tools and strategies learned during sessions.

Using evidence-based approaches, we’ll work to reduce anxiety, process trauma, and navigate life’s changes with greater ease and self-awareness.

“Just because no- one else can heal or do your inner work for you doesn’t mean you can, should, or need to do it alone," -Lisa Olivera. Are you struggling with anxiety, low-mood, a lack of motivation, low self-esteem or stress? Is this causing difficulties in your relationship/dating, family role, school, career or some other area in your life? During these times, it is critical to have support to help guide you through these obstacles and alleviate the weight placed on you. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I help individuals restructure negative thoughts to create a mindset that stimulates strength and resilience.
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.
