I believe that people who come to consult with me are wanting safety and connection. A sense of safety in their bodies, connection to self, to people they love, to community, or to the larger world. These people may be facing problems that have been called things like anxiety, depression, trauma, disorders, grief, communication or relationship difficulties - names that may or may not feel right to you. Underneath it all, we are looking for the way back to ourselves and each other, to feel safe enough to connect and explore the fullness of life. I want to help you find that way.

My name is Recene Valgardson and I am an Indigenous mental health therapist. My goal is to provide a holistic, person-centered, anti-oppressive approach to counselling that is culturally safe and accessible. I believe that every person is the expert in their own lives, and I feel honored to be a part of their journey. In providing therapy my number one goal is to ensure folks feel validated and supported to allow for space for processing and healing.

Hi, I'm so glad you're here. I’m Mikayla. I facilitate a collaborative, therapeutic space for you to show up just as you are. I believe we all have gifts, insights & experiences that inform how we progress and move through life. Sometimes we need someone to accompany us in rediscovering & understanding these parts of ourselves. If you're looking to reconnect with yourself, understand patterns & behaviours, honour & process lived experiences, or re-author your internal narratives, this is the place to create healing. I hope to offer a safe space for you to unfold & integrate the parts of yourself that have been crumpled up.

Therapy can help us to connect with ourselves and others, find meaning, joy, love, acceptance, playfulness and peace of mind. If you are recovering from trauma, if you are stuck or struggling, therapy can create a safe space to work through painful and difficult emotions and experiences in order to live better and feel better. I value creativity, compassion and collaboration. My approach is drawn from attachment theory, narrative therapy, trauma-informed somatic therapies, mindful self-compassion and relational therapy.

My name is Laura Lockwood. I am a clinical social worker and therapist for teenage girls and women. I am passionate about supporting women in coming to a place of self-love and seeing their worth so they can reach their dreams. As women in our current society, we are often disconnected from our internal tools and resources that naturally exist in our mind and body. Our lives are fast-paced and stressful and we often struggle with mental and physical disconnection. This opportunity will give you a chance to take time to sit with yourself in a space that is supportive so that you can learn to access and develop your inner resources.
