Find a Therapist

Ms Suzanne Raitt

It can be daunting attending therapy for the first time and talking about personal issues. Your relationship with your therapist is the most important factor in your success; you need to feel a connection in terms of communication, trust, comfort and safety during your sessions. I therefore offer a complimentary, no-obligation call so we can chat with no expectations or pressure. You do not fit in a pre-made mould and neither should your therapy. As such, I implement a blended therapeutic approach which is client-centered; this means you are in the driver’s seat at all times. I work only with proven, evidence-based approaches including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) & Solution Focused Therapy (SFT).

I provide Virtual/Online individual therapy to adults (18+) who are located in the Provinces of Alberta, Ontario, NS, NFLD and PEI. I often work with clients who feel stuck, depressed, anxious and/or irritable and who want to feel better, learn coping strategies and learn how to be their best self in relationships. I also work with clients who have experienced childhood emotional neglect and feel dissatisfied and disconnected from their lives and relationships. I have 24 years of experience and am trained in various approaches of therapy including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy for Individuals as well as Accelerated Resolution Therapy. Remote therapy only.

I provide an empathetic and non-judgemental approach. I work with a range of clients and specialize in Relationship issues, Men’s issues, Life Transitions, Communication, Self-esteem, Identity development, Overcoming Shame, Mood regulation and LGBTQ+ issues. I have 10 years of personal and professional coaching experience centred around emotional intelligence, communication skills and adult learning. My approach is eclectic, meaning that one size does not fit all. I work within your paradigm to find what works for you.

Vladimir Rakic

My approach is client-centered, meaning that I am well-versed in a variety of approaches including CBT, EFT, Existential, Narrative, Art and mindfulness-based, culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed and existentially-based methodologies, and utilize them to best fit my clients’ specific needs. I use these perspectives to guide men through various issues, such as depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction. I also have a Masters and undergrad in Religious Studies, which has allowed me to travel and study with a number of spiritual leaders within Christian, Indigenous, Buddhist and Muslim communities and can incorporate this experience and wisdom into a session if the client so desires.

Delaney Hughes

I believe in tailoring our therapeutic process to your unique needs and goals. My approach focuses on helping you become comfortable and confident in your own abilities, while introducing new strategies from evidence-based modalities to help you create a healthier and happier life. I use a variety of humanistic, cognitive-behavioural, dialectical, psychodynamic and mindfulness approaches. I work on an underlying foundation of trust, honesty and compassion, and provide a supportive environment that facilitates growth and healing. I practice through a lens of lived experience with trauma and mental illness. I understand how dark and frightening the difficult times can be, but I also know that it is possible to emerge a stronger, more resilient person.

Mr. Barry Johnston-Spooner

Hello there… As crazy as it might sound, patterns of anxiety, depression, controllingness, addiction, self automation (and others that one may fall into) are all learning environments – challenging us to search for ways to heal self and others. Our world gets better each time one of us takes such steps. After almost fifty years doing this work with others as well as with my self, I can assure you it is worth it. I’ll characterize my approach as practical/spiritual/integrative – and informal : > )

Ornella Harris

Welcome to finding your authentic self! I’m a collaborative and inclusive therapist who supports your healing, change, and growth using a variety of therapy models and tools. Viewing your identity and challenges through the lens of attachment, trauma, and relationships assists us with locating where you are and where you would like to go from here. I look forward to connecting with you about finding your path to self-discovery! Please note that email is the best way to get in touch with me.

Hannah McGechie

My approach to therapy is grounded in social justice and anti-oppression, and guided by narrative frameworks. I believe our lives are shaped by the stories we and others tell us about who we are. When we decide to come to therapy, it’s often because stories about problems (and about how WE are a problem) are dominating our lives. My role is to help you examine these stories and your relationship to them, and to explore, create, and sometimes change the stories in your life.

Michael Waxman

Using elements from cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, goal setting and systems therapy I work with the client to help them achieve what they are looking for from therapy. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust and understanding is the key to providing good work for my clients.

Mr. Jeff Barber
