Anne Geraldine Barnes
Registered Social Worker, Travailleuse Sociale/RSW Qc Mindful Self-Compassion, PNL, polyvagal informed/outils somatiques
(ENGLISH BELOW) Je suis convaincue que le meilleur levier pour le bien-être d’un ado est une mère qui se sent en sécurité et outillée. Trop souvent, on s’épuise à essayer de contrôler l’incontrôlable. Je le sais, je l’ai vécu. Ma mission est de normaliser vos réactions : ce n’est pas un manque de volonté, c’est votre système nerveux qui réagit au stress. Formée à l’approche polyvagale, je vous offre un espace pour calmer cette réponse de "survie" et retrouver votre clarté. En stabilisant votre propre boussole, vous ne faites pas que traverser l'adolescence : vous transformez durablement la dynamique familiale.
ENGLISH: I believe the most powerful tool for a teen’s well-being is a mother who feels grounded and safe. Too often, we exhaust ourselves trying to control the uncontrollable—I understand, I’ve been there. My mission is to normalize your experience: your reactive moments aren't a failure, they are your nervous system responding to stress. As a Polyvagal-informed Social Worker, I provide a space to soothe that 'survival mode' and regain your clarity. By stabilizing your internal compass, you don’t just survive the teen years—you transform the entire family dynamic from the inside out.

Bianca Amendola
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Anxiety and intrusive thoughts can make everyday life feel mentally exhausting. You might spend a lot of time overthinking decisions, questioning yourself, or trying to quiet thoughts that just won’t let go. Teens and adults often reach out when anxiety, OCD, depression, stress, phobias, or life transitions begin to feel overwhelming. In therapy, we work together to understand what’s keeping these patterns going and develop practical coping tools so you can quiet the mental noise, feel more grounded, and move through life with greater confidence and clarity.
I specialize in supporting teens and adults struggling with anxiety, OCD, depression, stress, and life transitions. Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, I help clients quiet intrusive thoughts, strengthen coping
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or self-doubt, you don’t have to face it alone. Therapy can be a space where you slow down, feel understood, and begin building tools to move forward with confidence. Together, we’ll work at your pace to create meaningful change and help you feel more grounded, capable, and in control of your life

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.
