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 ketamine-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.

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.

Mary B Rodenhurst
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BA, BSW, MSW RSW
I am a Registered Social Worker with over forty years of experience working mostly in hospital based Mental Health facilitating individuals, couples and families to achieve well-being and their personal best
I am trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), informed Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and I am also well experienced in facilitating group therapy. I was a member of the teams that developed and implemented the Adult Anxiety and Affective Disorders Program and the Child and Adolescent Day Treatment Program
specializing in the treatment of anxiety, depression and psychosis at London Health Sciences Center.
In addition to working at London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC), Madame Vanier Children Services in London Ontario and McDonald House Community Out-patient Psychiatry General Hospital in Sault Ste. Marie Ontario,with both adult and adolescent populations, I maintained a private practice since 1990. Since retiring from LHSC in 2016, my private practice has thrived and is now full time.
At times life is a balancing act, and sometimes we need a little guidance and support to maintain that balance. An experienced therapist can help us move through difficult times, better understand our families/relationships, and find our inner sense of peace, well being and wisdom. Having a neutral, non-judgmental place to share difficulties,receive validation and support can be very beneficial. Collaboration to reach your goal is an essential element of our work together. The client brings open communication, a desire for change and I will listen unconditionally and without judgment. We will work together to help you hear your inner voice and nurture your resilience. Sessions are confidential and provide a safe and relaxed environment with your best interests as a priority.
My counselling approach begins with a thorough assessment. This will include gathering information about social supports, daily routines and self care. Once problems are clarified, a detailed plan for counselling is made. Family or close supports are welcome to join sessions as desired. Please note that all counselling sessions will include confidential discussions and note-taking. At the initial session we will discuss consent to services, protection of your personal information and exceptions to confidentiality.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), HBA, MPsy
Personally, I understand what it is like to grow up in a difficult family which resulted in much trauma. As a young adult, I made a series of problematic choices which included abusive relationships, alcohol and drug abuse, and general neglect of myself. I realized that my trauma was not my fault but healing from it, so that I no longer suffered and passed that suffering onto others, was my responsibility. My wellness journey has been long and hard fought, and continues today and will forever more. The work is necessary, as all healing is possible. My hope is to share both my personal and professional knowledge and experiences with others to help guide them on their own journeys towards their own healing.

Cindy Jennings
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, RP
Living with addiction in a relationship can feel confusing, exhausting, and isolating. Many partners find themselves trying everything they can to help, while feeling increasingly powerless. My goal is to help you make sense of what’s happening, reconnect with your own voice, and develop more effective ways of responding that support both your well-being and the possibility of real change.
For over 30 years, I have had the privilege of helping individuals and couples navigate some of life’s most difficult relationship challenges, including alcohol and substance use concerns and the lasting effects of trauma. As a trained couples and family therapist, I have a particular focus on supporting partners and spouses whose lives have been deeply affected by a loved one’s addiction. As a Registered Psychotherapist, I draw on a wide range of evidence-based approaches to meet the unique needs of each person I work with. My training includes Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Motivational Interviewing, Somatic Therapy, and Exposure Therapy. These approaches allow us to work not only with practical skills for communication and boundaries, but also with the deeper emotional and relational patterns that keep people feeling stuck.
I strive to create a thoughtful, respectful space where you feel heard and understood. Together we can navigate the complexities of your situation and help you move toward greater clarity, stability, and confidence in how you move forward.

Shane Smyth
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, OACCPP
I specialise in couples therapy. I love helping couples improve their relationship by increasing their ability to communicate openly and lovingly. I am trained in Gottman Couples Therapy to Level 3 and am a Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist. I have also completed several sex therapy intensive trainings. I have over 15 years helping couples. Sexuality and desire discrepancies are something that I enjoy working it as this often becomes a shut down topic for couples. I try to make therapy as accessible and easy going as possible. I believe that everyone has the right to have a rich and meaningful life and through therapy I hope to provide clients with the space and skills to access their own inner resources as well as build meaningful relationships.
