Accepting NEW Clients – Do you feel like you’re never good enough, like you have to be perfect, or that you have to prove yourself to others? Are you tired of looking back on the things you said or did in order to try to be accepted and liked? Do you wish you could focus on putting yourself first, and making your needs/wellbeing a priority? Do you struggle with confidence or self-esteem, or stress, anxiety, and low-mood? Together we can look at exploring the strengths, relationships, and experiences that have got you to this point, and move forward in a way that reconnects you with yourself and your goals.

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.

Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CAMFT
When life or relationships become difficult, having someone who can help you step back, make sense of what is happening, and find a way forward can make a real difference. Wayne brings a down-to-earth and thoughtful approach to therapy. He believes meaningful change starts with being able to speak honestly about what is going on and feeling genuinely heard along the way. His goal is to help clients gain perspective, have more productive conversations, and develop practical ways to move forward. If something in your life or relationship isn't working the way you want it to, Wayne offers a place to start.

Angelica Esposito - AE Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, EMDR Therapist
Hi, I’m Angelica, a Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist, and EMDR therapist.
I specialize in working with individuals facing anxiety, stress, and those navigating significant life transitions, trauma, and cultural complexities. I work closely with newcomers, first- and second-generation Canadians. Having lived in multiple countries, I have a deep understanding of the challenges of cultural adjustment and integration.
With training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), I provide an effective method for processing trauma and reducing emotional distress. Along with narrative and solution-focused therapy, I help clients explore their stories, identify strengths, and develop practical tools for healing and growth.
My practice is grounded in a trauma-informed, feminist, and anti-oppressive approach, because I believe in creating a space where everyone feels heard, supported, and valued.
As someone living with Type 1 diabetes, I bring a personal understanding of the challenges of managing chronic conditions. This experience shapes how I practice, offering a compassionate, empathetic perspective that helps my clients feel validated in their journeys.
I prioritize creating a welcoming environment. My office has an all-gender bathroom, is wheelchair accessible, and offers free parking, ensuring that everyone feels comfortable.
I also offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation, so you can ask questions and get a sense of whether we’re a good fit—no pressure, just a chance to connect and explore how I can support you! 🙂
