Accepting new clients for September! I know finding the “right” therapist can feel hard. I create a space where you're free to think, feel, and speak authentically. Life can feel challenging and isolating to navigate – you're not alone in feeling like the world is on fire. I believe our past experiences affect us now, and noticing patterns and taking time to understand ourselves can help us be more present, comfortable, and kind with ourselves. I'll listen to you without judgement and support you in pursuing what matters most to you.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) through CRPO and am currently under supervision at CMAP Health as a master's student.

Working as a Canadian Certified Addiction Counselor, especially when working with indigenous communities, is like navigating a winding river, full of twists and turns. It can be both challenging and rewarding. In my role, I had the privilege of working closely with indigenous communities to promote positive change and progress. I take immense pride in my counseling experience, where I dedicated myself to providing tailored, high-quality counseling services within a culturally sensitive, nurturing, and nonjudgmental framework. I have experience treating a variety of issues by offering counseling services using motivation

Life is challenging and sometimes all of the ups and downs can feel really overwhelming. I offer a supportive, non-judgemental, client centred approach to therapy. Stress, anxiety and depression can creep up in all types of life circumstances. I work with adolescents, adults, couples and families. My practice also specializes in parenting, pre-natal & postpartum support and helping navigate difficult life challenges and transitions.

I feel incredibly grateful to be able to sit with people and support them in some of the hardest times of their lives. I bring a compassionate, calm and non-judgemental energy to every session, ensuring that you feel safe and heard. I always welcome the difficult conversations, as I know this is where healing happens. My style of therapy is informal, compassionate, and responsive to each person’s unique needs. With a strength-based, real-life, and collaborative approach, I work to provide emotional support and guidance to adults and young adults challenged by the many adjustments to life transitions.

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, frustrated, reactive, or scattered. Many of my clients have difficulty with behaviours they feel they have no control over, such as compulsions 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.

I provide warm, heart-connected and empathetic counselling, coaching, mediation and hypnotherapy services to individuals, couples and families. I concentrate on "wholistic" healing and empowerment rather than on being clinical and "helping". Basically, I form what I call a "Healing Partnership" with the people who come for my services. I tend to be quite eclectic and bring a wide range of skills, techniques, modalities and wisdom to each counselling interaction. Please contact me to enhance your life and to make the most of each moment. My favourite slogan is: "Listening well is the most eloquent sign of caring."

Many people struggle with anxiety, depression, and substance use. My practice is centered around navigating these challenges, with a commitment to honoring the diverse cultural backgrounds of my clients. I strive to create a therapeutic environment where teenagers, young adults, and young professionals can explore their mental health concerns with a deep appreciation for their unique experiences.

People I work with are often seeking help for feelings of overwhelm or emotional pain and stress. Some are managing anxiety or depression, while others are healing from past trauma or looking for tools to build resilience and personal growth. The path toward holistic well-being is something we can walk together. I focus on helping you build internal safety and restore the wellness that is your birthright, using diverse approaches, including mindfulness and hypnotherapy. Together, we'll open doors to new possibilities for healing and growth. In our sessions, we'll work together to make your life tangibly better.

Hi there, if you are reading this you are probably taking the first steps towards starting your therapy journey. Take a moment and applaud yourself, this is no small feat! My name is Samatha, but you can call me Sam. Our health, both physical and mental, and how those interact has always been a huge interest to me. There is something so intimate and interesting about how connected our mental health is to our relationships, perceptions, behaviours, and environments. And even more interesting, that while these ultimately shape our experience, we have the power to shape them as well.

I do meaningful work with those seeking positive change, who want to live fully, in authentic connection with themselves and others while navigating life's transitions, interpersonal relationship concerns, and trauma recovery. I work with counsellors and healthcare workers, couples wanting to optimize relationship, and those living with chronic, life-limiting health issues or processing grief and loss. I provide counselling services to insured clients under the supervision of registered Counselling Psychologist Dr. David Paré, covered by most third party insurance plans. I am covered by NIHB & IFH.

Are you feeling disconnected and disoriented about how to move forward in your life? Perhaps change has swept through your world and left you in disarray, picking up the pieces and trying to return to a time or place when you felt you had it all together and you knew who you were. Whether it’s an identity crisis, a struggle to adapt to a new role or a profound sense of loss, change often happens in ways that can leave us feeling disempowered and alienated from our own lives. While distressing, change can often be a powerful time to reinvent ourselves in a more authentic way. Psychotherapy and inner work are a pathway through.
