Vanessa Gear
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Is your child or teen feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, ADHD, school challenges, or difficulty managing big emotions? Perhaps learning differences, neurodivergence, family conflict, or life transitions are creating stress at home or school. I work with children, teens, adults, and families who want a supportive space to better understand these challenges. Together, we focus on building emotional regulation, confidence, coping skills, and stronger relationships so clients feel more capable, understood, and supported in their daily lives.
I specialize in supporting children, teens, and families navigating ADHD, autism (ASD), anxiety, school issues, learning challenges, and life transitions. Using CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and experiential approaches, including play-based techniques, I help clients strengthen emotional regulation, build coping skills, and develop greater confidence and resilience
Behind every behaviour is a story waiting to be heard. If you or your child feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck, therapy can provide a supportive space to slow down and make sense of what’s happening. Together we’ll explore strengths, build practical tools, and create meaningful change so you can move forward with greater confidence and connection.

Brianne Roy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Do you find yourself questioning your relationships, your identity, or where your life is heading? You might be burned out from masking or holding it together, drained from a separation or life change, or noticing distance growing between you and your partner. Perhaps you're navigating neurodivergence, stuck in codependency, or grieving a life that didn't go as planned. You may not remember the last time you felt truly like yourself. But something in you is ready for change. You want to feel steady, understood, and clear about your next step. I can help you slow down, make sense of what's happening, and begin moving forward.
I work with adults, couples and families navigating anxiety, burnout, neurodivergence, codependency, identity exploration, relationship conflict and life transitions. I focus on attachment patterns, ADHD and Autism masking, premarital counselling, separation and divorce recovery, and supporting diverse identities and non-traditional relationship structures.
Clients come to me when they want a therapist who sees the full picture, not just the surface. Sessions are warm, collaborative, and never rushed. I meet you where you are and we work at your pace. You don't need the right words or a clear goal before reaching out. I offer a free consultation so we can explore whether working together feels right.

Do you find yourself struggling with relationships? You might be feeling overwhelmed from balancing the demands of work, school, and daily tasks, leaving you feeling emotionally drained and disconnected from yourself and your relationships.

You want to feel grounded, supported, and seen. You want to move through life with confidence and emotional clarity. I can help you reconnect with your sense of self and begin that healing process.

Alexis Banyai
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, and patterns rooted in past experiences. Many of my clients struggle with feeling constantly on edge, disconnected from themselves or others, or caught in cycles of self-criticism, people-pleasing, or emotional reactivity. I have a particular interest in supporting individuals who want to better understand their nervous system responses, build emotional regulation, and develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves. Clients work with me because they want therapy to feel safe, warm, and collaborative. I work from a person-centred, trauma-informed approach, integrating mindfulness tools and practical coping skills. Sessions are guided by your needs and comfort level, allowing us to move at a pace that feels supportive and respectful.
