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.

Are you tired of feeling stuck in the same old patterns, struggling with anxiety, or finding it hard to truly connect with your body and present life?Unresolved past experiences—including trauma, relationship ruptures, and deep-seated fears like loneliness or people-pleasing—don't just live in your mind; they are physically held within your body. My dedicated work is to help you develop a deeper understanding and gentle release of these dynamics. By exploring your inner "parts" and the physical imprints of your past, you will gain greater coping skills, profound healing, and the ability to move forward with confidence.

Joel Mayer
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv
Specializing in anxiety and OCD! Do you feel stuck in your anxiety? Are intrusive thoughts or memories bothering you and getting in the way of your life? Perhaps your anxiety is also affecting your ability to be present and to function in the ways that you would like to in your relationships, work, or school life. Maybe you have coping strategies that used to work in the past but are no longer as effective for you now. If this is the case, do these issues then lead you to experiencing feelings of shame, wondering if there is something wrong with you, or questioning if things will ever get better?
You are not alone and change is possible! Anxious thoughts and feelings do not have to dictate your life and relationships. Together, we will work on learning skills to help you decrease your anxious feelings, get unstuck from your thoughts, develop more helpful coping strategies, and get back into the relationships and activities that matter to you.
My commitment is to come alongside you with compassion and care to offer direct, practical support that can make a difference now. I utilize a mindful, values-based approach to help you get back to meaningfully engaging in your life – whatever that looks like for you! I would be honored to work with you as you seek to live your life more fully.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center is a practice built on the belief that healing takes time, safety, and depth. We are not a quick-fix model. We integrate neuroscience, attachment theory, trauma-informed care, and faith for those who desire it, so that change is not just behavioural but transformational. What sets us apart is our commitment to long-term relational work, nervous system stabilization, and whole-person care. We look at the patterns beneath the symptoms, the story beneath the survival, and we create a space where individuals, couples, and families can slow down enough to heal from the inside out. We are steady, clinically grounded, and rooted in the understanding that sustainable change happens when people feel safe enough to be fully seen.

Andrea Wiebe
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Hello, I’m Andrea Wiebe, a therapist passionate about supporting individuals, couples, and pregnant and parenting people navigating trauma, mental health challenges, relationship difficulties, and existential concerns.
I am a Certified Perinatal Mental Health and Birth & Reproductive Trauma Specialist (CC-PMH, CC-BRT), an EMDRIA-trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist, and an ICEEFT-trained Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) therapist serving residents of Ontario, Canada. I am a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) and a member of the Ontario Association of Social Workers (OASW).
I hold a Master of Social Work from the University of Toronto (2013) and a Bachelor of Social Work and Social Development degree from the University of Waterloo. Since 2013, I have worked with clients from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds in individual, couples, and family counselling across various social service and counselling agencies. In 2019, I transitioned to private practice to focus on supporting: couples seeking deeper connection, pregnant and parenting people facing new or unexpected challenges, and individuals healing from past trauma while navigating the pressures of modern life.
In my practice, I take a holistic approach that considers the interplay of mental, emotional, physical, social, spiritual, and environmental factors in each person and relationship. My therapeutic approach integrates EMDR, EFT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).
I also draw on my lived experience of relationship challenges, mental health struggles, postpartum mood disorders, trauma, grief, parenting, and existential questioning. These experiences have shaped my approach to therapy, emphasizing practical guidance, compassionate support, and the empowerment of clients to see their situations differently, challenge unhelpful patterns, and create meaningful change.
Ultimately, my goal is to help clients feel safe to be authentic with themselves and their partner; communicate with curiosity; build confidence as a parent; problem-solve in a calm, non-judgmental way; live with self-awareness and compassion; heal from past trauma; release unhelpful beliefs and coping strategies; and cultivate joyful, meaningful lives grounded in love and connection with themselves and others.
I believe therapy is valuable for everyone, as no one is immune to life’s challenges. Speaking with a trained professional can empower individuals to overcome obstacles, achieve personal goals, and gain new insights into themselves and their relationships.
Please contact me if you would like to schedule a free consultation to ensure client-therapist fit and review important information before beginning therapy.
