Shanna Budzinsky
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Parenting is one of the most challenging roles we can undertake because each child has unique needs and there can be a lot of conflicting and confusing information out there. It can feel difficult to know what is right for your family, especially if challenges arise. Therapy for parenting can provide a supportive space to be able to work through difficult situations and explore approaches that work best for your family. When working with parents, we work together as a team because parents are the expert when it comes to their children. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit.

Susan Fehr
Registered Psychotherapist, RP Qualifying, MA
Parenting brings real joy alongside real difficulty, and it rarely looks the way anyone expects. I support parents navigating concerns at every stage — whether they're raising young children, working through conflict with teens, or finding their way in relationships with adult children.

Online in Waterloo, ON
Waterloo is the tech capital of Canada outside Toronto—home to the University of Waterloo, the country's leading technology and engineering university, and Wilfrid Laurier University, as well as dozens of technology startups and established companies in what is known as the Waterloo Region tech corridor or 'Canada's Silicon Valley'—and the mental health landscape is defined by the particular pressures of engineering culture, tech entrepreneurship, and the academic intensity of one of the world's leading computer science and engineering programs. UWaterloo's demanding co-op program and a culture that can be dismissive of mental health concerns are a significant driver of demand, and the stress of competitive employment and high performance expectations is consistently present. Grand River Hospital and St. Mary's General Hospital provide behavioural health services, and a growing private therapy sector serves both the student and tech professional communities. Common therapy concerns include academic pressure and perfectionism in elite engineering programs, tech entrepreneurship stress, STEM culture and mental health stigma, anxiety, burnout, and identity development in a community where technical achievement is the primary measure of status.
