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.

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.

Monika Georgieva
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc., RP
Hi! I am Monika - a fellow adventurer in this journey we call life! I am no stranger to the peaks of joy, the valleys of heartache, the roller coasters of emotions, the search for peace, and the mountains of uncertainty and challenge – they make life wild but also worth living! They have also helped me become a lifelong learner and someone who wants to support you in working through the ebbs and flows of your own journey.
So, how can I support you?
By offering you a space where you can pause, take a breath, check in with your inner compass, envision the destination, and consider the many paths you can take to get where you long to be. Together, we will explore the mission you are on – whether it’s about self-discovery, finding peace and happiness, rebuilding trust and connection, healing painful wounds, understanding emotions, or setting boundaries and managing pressure or expectations. We will also take a look at the paths you have already walked, the relationships you have encountered and built along the way, the strengths you have developed that have gotten you this far, and the things that you may need to keep going.
As your therapist, I welcome you with kindness and compassion, get genuinely curious about what feels most true to you that lights you up, cheer you on every step of the way, hold hope for what may seem both possible and impossible, and share an immense gratitude for your courage to forge the path that is meant to be yours.
A friendly reminder - I may also at times gently challenge you with deeper questions, tentative observations, and different perspectives. It is my hope that you will leave sessions with something new – whether that’s a feeling, resource, an idea, or question to ponder.
In the words of Maya Angelou - “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you”. I am here to support you in living out the stories that your life is meant to be about.

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.
