Liz Witzke
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA, LLB, CSAT
The process of raising children can be fraught with questions, uncertainty and it can bring up parts of ourselves that we didn't know were there or that we had promised ourselves we would never let come out with our own children. We try to balance protection, care and responsiveness and sometimes we lack support, knowledge or positive examples of how to have the kind of parent-child relationship we desire. I have four children of my own and can relate. I am here to help you connect the dots, weigh the issues, process your past and family or origin traits to come into the role of parent in a way that feels grounded, positive and authentically you.

Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Effective parenting begins with our own internal stability. Drawing on over 15 years of experience in mental health and trauma, I help parents move beyond traditional discipline strategies to focus on the heart of the matter: forming a secure attachment with their children.
Using a Parts Work lens, we explore how your own history and 'inner child' may be triggered by your children's behavior. By healing those internal wounds, you can show up with more patience, clarity, and presence. My goal is to support you in breaking old cycles and building a relational foundation that allows both you and your child to feel safe, seen, and truly connected.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Parenting can be deeply rewarding, exhausting, confusing, and emotionally intense — especially when you are trying to support a child while also navigating your own stress, trauma, neurodivergence, or uncertainty.
While I am not a parent myself, my background includes extensive experience working with children, families, education, behavioral support, and foster parent training. This gives me a unique perspective that blends practical child development knowledge, trauma awareness, neurodivergent understanding, and real-world strategies without the pressure of “perfect parenting.”
My approach is compassionate, practical, and focused on helping you better understand your child’s needs, behavior, emotional world, and nervous system — while also supporting your own. Together, we work on communication, regulation, boundaries, and realistic tools that help create more connection, clarity, and confidence in how you parent.

North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Relationships with family members can be particularly complex. With family, we often fall into old roles that may no longer serve us. You may be grieving the loss of a relationship you wished you had with a family member, or struggling with conflict and hurt feelings that keep getting re-triggered in each encounter. You may be facing challenges with parenting or trying to figure out the best ways to support your children. Relationship counselling can help you sort through the complexities of family dynamics, understand old roles and how you get pulled into them while working towards setting healthy boundaries in order to create more harmonious family dynamics.
