MRS LOLA OPACIC LUNOT

I have 15 + years of experience in the social work field (from child protection to medical social work- including ER, Maternity, and medical units). I have spent the last 3 years working on an Inpatient Psychiatry Unit where you can still find me 3 days per week. I pride myself in helping and working with individuals struggling with mental illness and addictions as well as their loved ones.

I practice within a trauma informed, anti-oppressive and intersectional practice and use the following counselling approaches:

​Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
Motivational Interviewing
Solution-Focused Therapy
Gottman’s Couple’s Therapy
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Welcome to the start of your journey toward your most authentic self! I am here to guide you as you navigate your culture, relationships, and feelings of stuckness in your life. I am here to help you discover coping skills to manage overwhelming, anxious, and overpowering emotions. You become my client, and I become a part of your support system. Together, we will create a personalized plan to support your mental health and your life goals. At the end of our journey together, you will leave with a better awareness of your emotions, an arsenal of tools for challenging times, and greater resiliency.

Let’s explore negotiating the reality you want, healing and tools to strengthen your mental health. Therapy can be an empowering space, including for your relationship, career, men’s issues, self-esteem, assertiveness and transformation goals and challenges. I offer an oasis to safely learn more about yourself and grow, protected by confidentiality and unconditional positive regard. My life experience includes having worked as a family law lawyer for over four years, and I’m a husband and father.

As a co-traveller within sessions, I focus on creating that crucial empathetic environment where we can explore underlying patterns that impact how you act and think, and the building of the empowering alternatives you want.

Nadine McLeod

I use a variety of psychotherapy modalities and will use the one that feels best and right for you. We offer clinical psychotherapy with traditional approaches like cognitive behavioural therapy, as well as modern-day approaches like trauma-based therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) which focuses on the brain’s ability to update itself and adapt to the positive present perspective.

Dave Dyck

I aim to create a non-judgmental space where the relationship between client and counsellor is built on trust and mutual respect. I see therapy as a journey—one that requires patience, empathy, and a deep respect for your unique story. My approach is person-centered, meaning I believe you are the expert on your own life. You’re in the driver’s seat, and I’m here to support and collaborate with you to find a path forward that truly fits who you are and what you need.

Mr. Ian Wine

Working with clients from diverse backgrounds, I provide professional and confidential counselling to address a number of issues including anxiety, trauma, depression, anger management, and relationship problems. I have a passion for expanding my knowledge in evidence-based practice, including lessons from clients themselves, and have completed additional professional training in different therapeutic modalities. I use an eclectic approach of holistic, evidence-based techniques to teach clients how changing their thinking can change their behaviours and improve the outcome of their lives. I use my own narrative of resiliency to motivate and inspire others to recognize the growth and positives that can come from life challenges.

Dr. Gloria Jacobucci

My approach typically includes managing current symptoms and addressing underlying causes. Interpersonal patterns are often at the heart of depression, so our work together may include a focus on improving relationships with family, friends, co-workers, and others. Remote therapy only.

I work with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, identity, life stress, racism/discrimination, and more. I work from an approach called Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) which helps clients bring awareness to their underlying emotions and break the cycles that make them feel stuck.
