Narrative
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.

Maor Bernshtein, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
You’re tired of feeling this way, and you’re ready to change it because this isn’t the life you want to lead. It’s been too long since you felt like you knew who you were, not just theoretically, but practically too. I specialize in addiction, borderline personality disorder, and depression, among other concerns, and build on years of practice in healthcare, treatment, and crisis roles. Together, we will look at how your daily life is being affected, make sense of reactions that feel hard to control, and develop practical tools for difficult moments. I draw from IFS-informed parts work, relational, somatic and trauma-focused approaches, as well as DBT/CBT, to support greater stability, self-trust, and more honest, fulfilling relationships.

Diana Ostap
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions or disconnected from your sense of self? Past experiences, mood changes, or ongoing self-doubt can leave you feeling exhausted and unsure if things will ever feel different. These struggles can impact your daily life and relationships, making it hard to find calm or clarity. But something in you is ready for change. You want to feel grounded, confident, and supported. I can help you begin that process and feel like yourself again.

Narrative
Rikki-Lee Epp
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA, Dipl. Psych.
Living with chronic illness, ADHD, or autism can feel like moving through a world that wasn’t built with your needs in mind. The pressure to mask, push through, or repeatedly explain yourself can lead to immense grief, anxiety, depression, burnout, loneliness, and a deep sense of feeling unseen and misunderstood.
As a neurodivergent therapist with lived experience of chronic pain, and a parent to neurodivergent children, I understand the emotional and physical toll daily life can take. This is why I offer a therapeutic space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment or pressure to perform. Instead of seeing chronic illness and neurodivergence as something to be “fixed,” I believe people often need supportive tools and thoughtful guidance to live in ways that honour their unique needs and nervous systems.
My work is grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy, guided by empathy and curiosity. Together, we move beyond temporary symptom relief by uncovering how past relationships and experiences shape your current reality (thoughts, behaviour, emotions). This approach fosters insight and self-awareness in an accepting environment, opening the door to lasting, meaningful change.
I invite you to reach out for free 30-minute virtual consultation to see if we are the right fit for your therapeutic journey.

Donald Hill
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Div., M.Th., RMFT, RP
**Currently Accepting New Clients** Therapy is a safe space to share your story and help you learn more about yourself and the impact others have on our lives. It provides an opportunity to systematically review our experiences to see how our choices and beliefs are shaped and influenced. By exploring our challenges and concerns brought forth through our daily lives we can enrich our story, our love for ourselves, our families, and the world around us. As we explore your story, both past and present, we can access ideas and strengths to create positive change. I work with individuals, couples and families and offer a free 15-minute consultation to ensure we are a good fit.

Accepting New Clients
Feeling like your mind doesn't slow down, no matter how hard you try? Maybe you're overwhelmed, burnt out, or stuck in patterns you're not sure how to step out of, or navigating ADHD, anxiety, grief, or chronic health challenges without knowing where to turn. Maybe you're trying to understand yourself more clearly, or figure out how to move forward in a way that actually feels sustainable.
Together, we can slow things down, build insight, and help you feel more grounded and confident day-to-day. We'll start with a free consultation call.
I work with individuals 16+ from diverse backgrounds, including 2SLGBTQA+ and neurodivergent communities, as well as those living with chronic illness or disability. Currently completing my Master's degree, I offer a space that is affirming, compassionate, and non-judgmental. Somewhere you can show up without the mask.
My approach draws on CBT, ACT, DBT, ERP, and trauma-informed, mindfulness-based practices. I support clients with anxiety, burnout, OCD and phobias, ADHD, grief, life transitions, women's health, and chronic health concerns. Sessions adapt to you, with a focus on connection, emotional regulation, and practical strategies that fit your real life.
