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.

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.

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.

35 Years of Helping People Transform Their Lives
For more than three decades, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people as they navigate change, healing, and personal growth. My work as a therapist has shown me the incredible depth, resilience, wisdom, and goodness that exists within every person.
The connections I’ve built with clients — and the positive changes I’ve witnessed — have given my own life profound meaning.
I chose this path because therapy changed my life first. It taught me that lasting growth begins when we courageously look inward with honesty and compassion. No matter where you are in your journey, meaningful change is possible.
If you’re ready to better understand yourself, heal, and create a more fulfilling life, I’m here to help.

Change is a natural ability that we are born with. Our problems are a symptom a blockage of this ability. I learned this in my own journey where I was able to understand how I was preventing my own change and how I could free myself. For over 35 years I have taught people how to make major changes in their lives. I want to help you do this and see who you truly can be.

Kaylen Leonienco
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
I have always been passionate about working in the field of social work/psychotherapy. I aim to provide spaces where individuals can speak openly about life's challenges and be met with nothing but support and zero judgement. It has been rewarding to witness client's move through challenges and live the lives they have always dreamed of. Client's are also equipped with lifelong skills and coping strategies to be used when new challenges arise beyond our time working together.

Ms. Clare Pentelow
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.S.W., R.S.W.
Therapy can be a very vulnerable process, and it is important to feel that you are in a safe space in order to do this important work. I believe my warm, authentic approach allows my clients to feel comfortable opening up about the difficult issues they are facing. i work with my clients to deeply understand their goals, experiences and personalities and support them in both processing emotional wounds, and coping with the difficult feelings and situations they are dealing with in the present.

Sunlight Counselling, Melody Mann
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I’m a registered social worker and psychotherapist who helps people navigate life’s hardest seasons — burnout, trauma, grief, and chronic illness. My approach is grounded in compassion and curiosity, creating a space where you can exhale, be seen, and begin to heal at your own pace.
I draw from EMDR, parts work, and mindfulness-based approaches to support the body and mind’s natural capacity to heal. Together, we’ll explore not only what hurts, but also what helps — uncovering new ways of relating to yourself, others, and the world around you.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply exhausted by doing it all, therapy can be a place to slow down, reconnect with your strength, and move toward a life that feels more aligned and sustainable.
