Tatyana Cattan
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
As a therapist, I am committed to supporting you through the challenges you face. Issues related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationships are difficult to manage on our own. Within the safety and care of a therapeutic relationship, you can find relief from what has been weighing on you and access tools and resources that can help you move forward. I know how powerful it can be to have the opportunity to let it all out, gain a better understanding of yourself, and treat yourself with more kindness and care. Together, we will work to turn the heavy and stressful parts of life into a process of healing and growth.

Theresa Gregory, Lightbridge Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), Masters in the Arts
Are you experiencing anxiety or panic? Do you feel depressed and overwhelmed with sadness? Are you having relationship issues, or has an important relationship just ended? I can help with that. I have the tools you need that can help you to feel better so you can take your life back. I have been where you are, and I want to help you so you don’t have to suffer anymore. It can feel like a struggle to get out of bed, to interact with others, or to go to school or work. It can be hard to take that first step. In your complimentary phone session, you will be heard, and greeted with gentle compassion, non-judgement, comfort and empathy.

Sierra Goldfinger
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying)
I believe therapy is a safe space to explore the thoughts, emotions, hopes, and challenges you experience, as well as the relationships and contextual factors impacting your life. I believe that as we deepen our understanding of ourselves, we are able to recognize the ways in which we are impacted by our experiences. This deepened awareness can help us be our most authentic selves and cultivate newfound meaning in our lives. I work with individuals, couples, families, and youth and offer a free consultation to see if I am the right therapist to support you through this journey.

I focus on approaching your therapy with openness. I want to facilitate you in discovering how you have come to be the person that you are, developing acceptance, and finding ways forward that will lead you to feeling at home in yourself. I believe that we are responsible for our own experience of life, but that we have more freedom than it often feels. If you feel we might be a good fit, I welcome you to reach out for a consultation.

Melanie Fuller
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Tired of being pathologized and feeling isolated? You are not alone.
Traumatic experiences are common yet unique to each person. While each person possesses unique resources and skills, trauma responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) can throw one off balance from their consistent, preferred way of living.
I am a registered psychotherapist (Q), practicing under the supervision of Christine Contant (RP, CTIC). My counselling and psychotherapy background consists of two years of behavioral counselling for individuals who experience developmental differences and one year (2019-2020) of experience providing supervised evidence-based trauma-informed psychotherapy (DBT, narrative therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive processing, somatic experiencing) at the Centre for Treatment of Sexual Abuse and Childhood Trauma (CTSACT) from September 2019-to 2020.
Currently, I practice online (private practice) and in-person while I complete my MC graduate thesis on parents' reflections of high-conflict co-parenting before, during and throughout the COVID-19 pandemic with Athabasca University.

By coming to this site, you have already taken the first step towards positive change and that takes courage! I know that for myself, the world feels like a very different place than it did a few years ago and many of us are feeling that impact. Therapeutic support is an excellent way to work through the changes of the past and to find ways to look toward a brighter future.

Cynthia Roblin
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., R.P.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a clinically proven method for addressing a range of mental health concerns. For the past 3 years I have worked with clients presenting with a variety of personality disorders, life challenges/transitions, as well as relationship dynamics. Through a reparative therapeutic alliance we can work to understand the challenges you may be facing in your life. By exploring your past , we can connect what patterns and beliefs that may be hindering you today in order to improve your relationships with others and yourself. I am also under the supervision of a Feminist Supervisor and am expanding my modalities to include feminist therapy which really works to help understand the oppressive structures of patriarchy on both men and women and how they play out in our lives but with a particular focus on women's social justice and women's issues.

Lauren McCarley
Registered Psychotherapist, RP(Q), BSc, MA
Overcoming life's challenges alone can be incredibly difficult. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), the pressure to please people, or the exhausting pursuit of perfection, know that you are not alone.
I offer a safe space where we can work together to explore strategies and tools for navigating life's challenges. We will build on your areas of strength and resiliency, while acquiring new skills that can help you cope more successfully. I am excited to embark on this journey together, as we all have the potential to reach our goals when given the right tools and support.

Ivan Pityk
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
My philosophy is that the past builds our being through the experiences we had and the lessons we learned. These experiences help to shape our sense of meaning and personal fulfilment through our journey. Therefore, I believe that it is important to explore the past and see how it shapes our experience in relation to ourselves and others. I incorporate this perspective in my work with clients and help to emphasize the power of choice, explore unmet needs and help to explore important areas for boundary setting.

I also honour the important need to foster compassion, validation and understanding as a foundation with my clients before this occurs. I am available to help adults presenting with a broad array of mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem, relationships and life purpose. I also have a specialized focus of helping clients with chronic pain, chronic illness and disability. I am honoured to take part in the change process with anyone who is open to doing deep personal work.

Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
I work with motivated individuals who are looking to work towards better understanding, dealing with, and changing their lives. Clients of mine often have behaviours, thoughts, feelings, or emotions that are dysfunctional or cause them discomfort, such as feeling anxious, depressed, confused, reactive, or scattered. Many of my clients have difficulty with behaviours they feel they have no control over, such as habits or addictions, aversions, or getting easily frustrated or angry. I help my clients understand why these issues occur and help them create tools and protocols such that they can create the changes they want.

Liz Dean
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.S.W., R.S.W
Feeling alone and stuck? Sometimes we find ourselves disconnected, insecure, anxious, angry, sad and exhausted - at ourselves, at the world, at our family and friends. And we don't know what to do about it. It can make us feel utterly alone. I would embrace the opportunity to support you to find a path forward and move more easily and authentically through life. My speciality is working with people with self-criticism and/or low self esteem - this can present as loneliness anxiety, depression, ADHD and struggles in relationships and with life transitions (jobs, relationships, new stages of life).
