Shanna Budzinsky
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
*Accepting New Clients* I believe that our healing begins with both safety and support. As a therapist, I strive to provide a nurturing environment where you can feel accepted and empowered to explore your stories and experiences. My journey towards becoming a psychotherapist began with my own mental health struggles relating to trauma and addiction. Those experiences of recovery and healing helped me discover the healing power of relationships. I work with individuals aged 14+ and couples and offer a free 15-minute consultation to ensure I am the proper fit for your journey.

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.

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.

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.

Colin Hayward
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd
My goal in therapy is to create a space where you can say the things you haven’t felt able to say anywhere else. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who carry a lot on their own. They may talk things through with friends or family at times, but often hesitate to go too far because they don’t want to burden the people around them. In therapy, you have a place where you can speak freely and be fully heard.
Clients often tell me they’re surprised by how much they have to say once they begin. They may have spent years thinking through challenges in their lives, but haven’t had the opportunity to explore those thoughts out loud in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. My role isn’t to criticize the past, rush to conclusions, or tell you what decisions you should make. Instead, I focus on helping you understand your experiences, clarify what matters most to you, and find practical ways forward that feel authentic and sustainable.
I see therapy as a collaborative process that helps you better understand both your strengths and the challenges that come with them. Many qualities that serve us well in life—like sensitivity, dedication, or a strong work ethic—can also create difficulties when they become overwhelming or unbalanced. Together, we explore how these qualities shape your experiences, identify the patterns that may be holding you back, and build on the strengths that can help you move forward.
Sometimes this work involves learning specific tools or skills. Other times it involves taking the time to reflect, share important stories, and gain new perspective. Either way, my aim is to help you uncover resources within yourself that may have been overlooked and to support you in navigating difficult moments with greater clarity and confidence.
I tailor my approach to each person I work with because every individual’s experiences and goals are different. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, OCD, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can be a place to slow down, reflect, and make meaningful progress.

Laura Jean Northey
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA
I provide individual therapy, both in-person and online, to clients who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relational issues, and burnout. I have been told by clients that my calm demeanour and caring, non-judgmental stance helps them to feel safe and comfortable to express themselves. Therapy with me is client-led, meaning you decide what we talk about, but I'm here to help you make sense of it and understand how lifelong patterns and unconscious beliefs might be influencing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
