Audrey Kao
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
You keep repeating the same painful patterns in your relationships, no matter who you're with. Maybe you're actively dating, and you find yourself reading into every shift in their tone, chasing reassurance, or losing yourself trying to be who you think they want. Maybe you keep going back to an ex even though it leaves you feeling worse each time. Or maybe you're in a committed relationship that's become a cycle of conflict and resentment, and you're tired of having the same fight on repeat. The exhausting part is that it keeps happening, and it's starting to shape how you see yourself.
If any of this feels familiar, you're in the right place. I'm a Registered Social Worker who helps people in their 20s and 30s make real, lasting changes in how they relate. My style is warm and practical, and I'll challenge you rather than just nod along.
Using attachment theory, we'll trace where these patterns began and build the security to break them.
These patterns can change. As you build real security within yourself, those painful patterns stop running the show, and you get to choose how you show up instead. You can feel calm and confident, whether partnered or single. The first step is a free, no-pressure meet & greet call—just reach out to set one up. I'd love to hear from you!

Grounded Minds Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Grounded Minds is a team of compassionate therapists who are skilled in treating anxiety, OCD and PTSD. Are you constantly battling anxiety, intrusive thoughts or compulsions that you can't resist doing? Perhaps you've experienced a trauma and you're finding it difficult to move forward. You may have found that pushing worries away only works for a short time. Let's work together to kick anxiety out of the driver's seat. Together, we may work on uncovering what's underneath anxiety and panic, learn how to take the power away from intrusive thoughts, or perhaps learn tools to manage uncertainty. Please reach out to schedule a therapy session or free 15 minute consultation call. We look forward to hearing from you!

I believe it's important that that therapy offers a safe and supportive space - a place where people can explore new ways of thinking and dealing with challenges they encounter. It's also an opportunity to to reflect on how we see the world and begin to toward more balanced effective ways of living. When someone is open to it, therapy can also be place for learning to live more presently, with greater awareness and clarity.

Jane Allen
Psychologist, Master Counselling, BSc. Eng, MBA
Many of my clients feel lost or stuck in their lives. They often feel troubled by their relationships, work situations, unmet dreams, and transitions into different stages of life. Our culture does not offer many forums for authentic exploration of life's challenges. My work supports you in exploring the underlying causes of such feelings as anxiety, depression, fear, emptiness, despair, resentment, anger.
I offer a very non-judgmental environment where we can examine different life patterns and core beliefs which may be negatively affecting your quality of life. If you feel isolated in your challenges, I can offer perspectives and insights that will help you understand yourself more and discover that you are not alone.
My goal is to provide hope, insight and new perspectives to my clients. I am an avid reader, researcher and learner and work to find a good match with each client and a suitable counselling approach. Working as a psychologist is a second career for me. I have extensive life experience and work experience in science, business and work teams.
