“Everyone wants to hold the new baby. Who holds the mom?” Motherhood is the ultimate personal development experience, but it can be a lonely one. Whether you are preparing for motherhood, struggling to conceive, feeling scared or unsupported in your pregnancy, experiencing birth trauma, or suffering with feelings of depression or anxiety as a new parent, mental health in the perinatal journey is just as important as physical health and recovery.

Tina Bohin
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Oftentimes, feelings of hopelessness and helplessness can emerge in our lives and make us feel stuck. In addition, experiences with trauma can make us feel like we are not deserving of support. You deserve mental health support that seeks to understand your unique experiences, needs and goals. Depression, anxiety and experiences with trauma can be debilitating mental health concerns that impact our well-being, relationships and daily living. These moments can be tough to navigate without someone to trust and confide in for support. I also have an abundance of experience in the realm of sexuality and education including: self-confidence, navigating relationships, arousal, kink, exploring sexuality, sexual orientation, gender identity and sexual health.
The first step of seeking help can feel intimidating and overwhelming. I would love to make the process as comfortable as possible for you. I strive to offer a safe and non-judgemental space where we can collaboratively and compassionately work through your challenges. Kindly feel free to reach out with a questions about my qualifications! Let’s work together to explore and address your unique experiences and needs. Please give our office a call to book your first session. I am looking forward to meeting you!

New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
We are a team of Registered Psychotherapists and Social Workers who specialize in supporting individuals through effective and research backed trauma, relationship, and sex therapy.
We began as a trauma focused clinic - our team has a solid understanding of the countless small and large ways that trauma impacts us. We work with traumatic stress and related difficulties such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD and complexPTSD), addiction, self-harm, and suicide ideation. We support survivors of sexual violence as well as those who have experienced emotional and physical abuse, criminal victimization, bullying, war, and near death experiences.
We've found that as people heal, relationships and intimacy naturally becomes a secondary focus. For this reason we offer family, couples, and sex therapy. We support individuals of all gender and sexual identities and relationship structures.
We respect diversity and differences in opinions, values and attitudes. This is reflected through individualized treatment plans which consider each individuals lived and generational experiences. We strive to provide culturally-sensitive, non-discriminatory, and affirming care to culturally diverse populations and BIPOC, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, kink and polyamorous communities.
Our goal is to help you break free from your past and rediscover a fulfilling life filled with joy and connection.

MindfulWe Holistic Psychotherapy & Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, IMD (candidate)
Therapy is not meant to last forever, it is a tool to serve you, and the only way to know if the tool worked for you is with successful completion of your goals. I describe myself as your human GPS, sitting in the passengers' seat while you sit in the drivers seat, you tell me where you want to go and I will get you there! Despite all the challenges you may have been through, I firmly believe that you are your own expert and you already have all your own answers. Sometimes challenging experiences have clouded access to this internal knowing. I assist and empower your true essence in order for you to make life affirming decisions that align with your values, and ultimately live a wholehearted life. We surpass focusing on the issue that brought you in to therapy, to making and reaching life goals. It takes a lot of courage to begin this journey inside yourself. Together, we can understand the root cause, nurture it back to vitality & feel the ripple effect on all parts of your life.
I am also currently pursuing a PhD in Integrative Medicine, which gives me alternative healing practices to incorporate into your treatment if/as you wish. I breathe this work, it is my love and passion. It is my utmost pleasure and honor to work with you and help guide you to the wise inner wisdom that resides within every human, today!

Accepting new clients! Everyone has unique lived experiences which impact how one views themselves and the world around them. Regardless of your experiences and what you may be going through, I aim to create a safe and non-judgemental space for you to share your life story and work collaboratively to discover or rediscover your values and meaning in life. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Q), one of my key passions is to help people discover their inner strengths and foster positive growth. I help clients struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, trauma-related concerns or coping with various life and role transitions.
I draw from integrative therapeutic techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindful Self-Compassion, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. My approach to therapy is compassionate and culturally sensitive and I strive to encourage a supportive environment to reach a place of healing and growth.
