Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Finding your way back to a sense of balance, clarity, and inner steadiness is not always easy. Life can feel painful, confusing, or overwhelming at times, especially when you are carrying anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, grief, identity questions, or major life transitions.
In therapy, I see our work as collaborative. You are the expert on your own life and story, while I bring clinical training, curiosity, and experience to help us better understand what you are facing. My approach is person-centred, trauma-informed, and grounded in mindfulness. I integrate approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, CBT, MBCT, EMDR, CBT-I, and the Unified Protocol when appropriate.
I do not see mental health as the absence of painful thoughts or emotions. Difficult experiences are part of being human. What often matters is how we relate to those experiences and whether we can still move toward a life that feels meaningful, connected, and aligned with our values.
My hope is to offer a grounded, nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood as a whole person, not simply a collection of symptoms or problems. Together, we can work toward greater self-understanding, emotional steadiness, and meaningful change.

Margot Hovey
Counsellor/Therapist, CCC (In process)
I’m embracing Eldership in my counselling practice: individuals, dyads, and families through transitions and challenges. Completing the M.A. Counselling Psychology program, I’m a deep listener and provide authentic feedback.
During our conversation your life story, influences, and challenges emerge. We’ll collaborate on how to best shape the life you want to lead.With a Ph.D. Integral Studies, my previous work focused on facilitating inclusion – racial, cultural, age, life stages, sexual and gender identity in our communities. Integral counselling weaves mind, body, and spirit into healing. I bring a deep appreciation of wholeness to our work.
Arising from lived family experience of becoming multiracial, embracing LGBTQ+, caregiving and mental illness, I’m called to work with seniors and families in transition. Shifts in family circumstances (illness, death, relocation, diagnosis, divorce, identity, dementia, retirement, renewal) affect the living family system. I witness and support your process.

The Art Of Healing
Marriage and Family Therapist, RTC, CT
What makes my therapy practice unique is the way I blend clinical skill with real-life understanding. I don’t just offer techniques—I create a space where you feel genuinely seen, understood, and safe to be yourself. My approach is mindful, trauma-informed, and grounded in emotional awareness and nervous system regulation, helping you not only process what you’ve been through, but also build the tools to move forward with clarity and confidence. As someone who deeply values growth, resilience, and self-connection, I walk alongside my clients in a way that feels supportive, empowering, and real.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply ready for something to shift—even if you can’t fully explain what that is—this is your sign to reach out. You don’t have to wait until things get worse to invest in yourself. Therapy can be the space where you slow down, reconnect, and start creating a life that feels more aligned, peaceful, and intentional.

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.

I provide a warm, compassionate space where you can navigate life’s challenges and feel truly understood. As a neurodivergent, queer affirming, Third Culture Kid who has lived in seven cities across three continents, I’ve had the privilege of experiencing the world in ways that help me connect deeply with people from diverse backgrounds and experiences. This means I’m here to meet you where you are, without judgment or the need to overexplain your identity, values, or passions.
I understand how important it is to feel truly seen and valued. Whether you’re sharing something deeply personal or a niche interest, you’ll find a counsellor who truly gets it - and gets you.
If you’re working through loss, exploring your identity and purpose, or striving for balance in your relationships, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll focus on what matters most to you in a way that feels safer, affirming, and empowering. If this sounds like the support you need, contact me to schedule a consultation.
