(Note: Currently offering telephone or video sessions only). I have a passion for getting to know people deeply and guiding them toward a more satisfying, accepting and compassionate relationship with themselves and others. I believe that "knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom" and it is by being true to yourself that you will unlock the most satisfying life experiences and relationships. I welcome you to bring any issue to the table, but have found a special interest in assisting clients with relationship issues, including separation/divorce, dating, infidelity, relationship dissatisfaction, and family of origin issues.

I have extensive experience working with couples dealing with martial and relational issues. My systemic style of working with families helps build a strong bond between family members while exploring some potential root causes of discord. I also have a keen interest in working with parents on the many facets of parenting. Ranging from behaviour modification to raising children of character, integrity and respect. I also enjoy my work with individuals, starting from as young as 15 onward. I treat adjustment and mood disorders as well as anxiety, self-esteem, personal growth, stress/burnout, grief, and those dealing with separation and divorce.

I primarily work with those in relationships, both romantic and families, aiming to help people learn how to grow well in life individually and together. If you would like to strengthen a stagnant marriage, hedge against divorce, improve communication, or recover from an affair, I can help. I also work with children (ages 6 and up), teenagers, and family units navigating parenting issues, emotion regulation, ADHD, and trauma. Although I specialize in marriage and familes, I love working with individuals battling mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, past trauma, grief, addictions, and more.

Hello, My name is Cynthia Manley and I am a Certified Play Therapist with the Canadian Association for Play Therapy. I help children who are stuggling with a variety of challenges incuding anxiety, grief and trauma. I take a child-centered approach to working with children, which means I follow the child's lead in my work. Parents are crucial in the healing process, and I value working together toward meeting treatment goals.

Life is filled with struggles and challenges and they can seem difficult to overcome or even meet. Counselling helps people recognise the strengths that they already have to not only address life's challenges, but come out the other side stronger.

Accepting new couples for couples therapy, separation/divorce counselling, and custody/access matters. Offering both in-person and virtual sessions.

I am Clinical Social Worker/Therapist, experienced in supporting couples with issues like communication styles, betrayal, serious or chronic illness, consensual non-monogamy and non-heteronormative relationships. I have completed Levels 1&2 of Gottman Method, and Emotionally Focused Therapy, and draw from these modalities in my work with couples. For individuals living with anxiety, depression, or difficult life transitions such as Menopause, divorce, or feeling "stuck", my therapeutic approach can be matched to your learning style and needs, recognizing that therapy is a collaborative process.

Life can be challenging and sometimes it feels like we are riding the rollercoaster of ups and downs. You are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and full of anxiety. It is during these times that you need empathy, compassion, understanding and a safe place to unpack. In my practice, I offer a client-centered and supportive environment where you can feel safe to share your story and experiences. I help clients explore and process problems and challenges that impact every day life.

Do you feel challenged or overwhelmed by e.g.: general life problems, mental health problems like anxiety or depression, issues of abuse and trauma, marital/ relationship problems, separation/ divorce, bullying, career issues, parental difficulties, life or workplace stress, grief and loss, women’s issues or health-related topics? My services are tailored towards your particular circumstances and needs. With professional help you can start to make progress, work on your goals, overcome stumbling blocks, acquire coping skills, build resilience and resolve your issues. We all have the capacity to make meaningful changes and heal.

Family separations can be extremely stressful and difficult times for both parents and children, but they DON'T have to involve court battles, high conflict, or huge expenses. If you are dealing with conflict over living arrangements, parenting time, child support, or other parenting concerns, I can help. With the right support, information, and guidance, most families can work through their parenting and support issues together, and come to a practical and sustainable solutions for themselves and their children. I also offer Voice of the Child Reports to families involved in a collaborative law process or other family mediators.

I consider myself to be an eclectic practitioner. I employ many different therapeutic approaches including: Narrative, CBT, Solution Focused, Trauma Informed therapies, Mindfulness practices, ACT and Behavioural Modification strategies. I tend to work primarily from a Narrative Therapy approach, which is an approach to counselling that seeks to be respectful and non-blaming. It centres the client as the expert in their own lives and views problems as separate from the client themselves. Narrative Therapists assume clients have many skills, competencies, beliefs, values, commitments and abilities that will assist them in reducing the influence of problems in their own lives.

As your psychologist, I'll help you develop skills and insights for positive, lasting change. I'll be fully present and tuned in to understand your experiences, pain, fears, and hopes. We will be a team, your feedback will be used to design your treatment and ensure that it is helpful. Our sessions will provide a space for you to process what's going on in your mind, while equipping you with tools to reduce and manage physical and mental distress and pain. We can explore if other treatments such as physiotherapy, massage and osteopathy with our great team at One to One Wellness may help you to feel better and stronger in your life.

As a solution focused therapist, I meet clients where they are in their life and growth journey, seek strengths and skills already present and help them take control back of their lives and performance. Seeded in 17 years of Sports Mental skills performance, my therapeutic approach assists clients in all aspects of their lives to build agency, confidence, and increased motivation to change.

I thrive on navigating my clients through times of emotional distress, depression, anxiety, searching for meaning and purpose, need of connectedness, questioning of identity, values, looking for hope and peace. I feel confident in helping people find inner peace, mental tranquility and emotional calm through counselling and psychotherapy. I believe that a human being who is in search of reducing stress levels, boosting the quality of life, and achieving spiritual and mental sophistication and emotional stability would appreciate guidance and companionship. I would be glad to be at the service of my clients who feel this way.

Alicia offers quality training and experience providing assessments and psychotherapy for adult clients (ages 17+ years) with a wide variety of mental health challenges, including issues with depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), ADHD, self-esteem, body image, work/school stress, grief, and interpersonal relationships (e.g., relationships with romantic partners, friends, and/or family members).

Some of us feel challenged by anxiety, depression, or anger. Some by the relationships in our lives with partners, family, or in the workplace. Parenting never fails to challenge our best intentions, or we can also find ourselves repeating behaviours and ways of thinking that no longer work for us. My clients are typically active partners in change – sometimes to change those habitual behaviours or ways of thinking, sometimes to interact more effectively, sometimes to nourish personal growth, and sometimes just to clarify and explore.

Gender-based violence, restorative approaches and narrative therapy have led me to work internationally. Locally, I have spent 25 years working for a trauma-informed community-based organization and for the past fifteen I have also worked for the Canadian Armed Forces. Currently I continue to speak publicly and train others about domestic violence. I co-founded the Canadian Domestic Violence Conference when I saw a need to bring more light to the subject. I am available to help couples work through the damages caused by domestic violence as well as to help individuals repair the harm done to them so they can move forward.

One of the consequences of stress is re-experiencing it in the mind and body, leaving us depleted and disconnected from life. Intense reactions can be confusing and distressing. Making sense of our experiences, putting them in perspective, and changing unhelpful ways of thinking, behaving, and coping increases our resilience. I welcome individuals from all walks of life and have a particular interest in survivors of sexual violence and exploitation; first responders, frontline workers, military, veterans and their families; survivors of adverse childhood experiences; workplace stress and life transitions; and older adults.

You feel life is hard and you are a bit stuck. You feel overwhelmed by current challenges, perhaps exhausted from past trauma, and being anxious about the future. You are looking for some clarity and tools to feel less stressed. If this is the time that you are looking for growth and mental health wellbeing, I am here for you, offering sessions tailored towards your unique needs. Over 17 years, I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds, and assisted many of them in tough situations, including trauma in different life stages. I provide individual, couple, and family sessions to support you through challenging times.

It's overwhelming to find a therapist who gets it and who you connect with. Maybe that's even led to you putting off therapy for a while. Our therapists are approachable, genuine, and effective. As a team, we specialize in self-worth, relationships, anxiety and trauma and our intake coordinators are skilled at matching you with the therapist who best meets your needs and personality. You deserve to feel comfortable, understood and connected to your therapist. We can help you find the right fit.
