Kristy Ricard

Accepting NEW Clients – Are you looking for support in navigating anxious thoughts or feelings, or what feels like a dark cloud following you around? Are you tired of feeling like you’re not enough? Is a new life change causing stress or needing exploring? Do you feel burdened by obsessive thinking, or difficulties with food and body image? Are there relationships in your life that you’d like to explore, or better understand how you feel when around others? Are you simply hoping to build self-awareness or coping strategies?

It’s normal if reaching out feels scary. I’ve worked with individuals in public, athletics, and private health settings, and i’m looking forward to connecting with you.

Dr. Jennifer Acheson

We all encounter moments when our usual coping strategies fall short, but you don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. With over a decade of experience, I’m here to guide you through your journey of self-discovery and healing. Recognizing the challenges of change, I approach our work with skill, respect, and curiosity, valuing your commitment to transformation. Your journey deserves professional expertise, warmth, and understanding. Knowing that one single approach doesn’t work for everyone, I utilize a variety of techniques, and provide personalized strategies to help you not only cope but thrive. Together, we’ll uncover your strengths, build resilience, and lay the groundwork for a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Natasha Sani

My practice specializes in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, chronic illness or cancer, ADHD, grief, and major life transitions, including the shift into adulthood and evolving family dynamics. I recognize that our identities and personal narratives are shaped by lived experiences—challenges, traumas, and milestones that influence our resilience and self-perception. By exploring these influences, we can foster personal growth and meaningful transformation.

Sandra Neil

I provide psychotherapy for various issues, including, but not limited to, childhood and adult trauma in all of its various forms, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, stress management, anger, and other related issues. I seek to support the client in a way that is individualized and, integrates the approach that is best suited to the individual, including, but certainly not limited to, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Ego-State Therapy, and other trauma-focused interventions. I enjoy working with all aspects of change and transition in one’s personal development and working with the client to address their specific needs.

Sukhjit Hothi

My therapeutic approach is grounded in a humanistic, client-centred framework, where compassion, authenticity, and collaboration will guide the work we do together. I integrate evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotion-Focused Therapy to help clients develop insight into their challenges, build emotional resilience, and create change. Above all, I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel genuinely seen, supported, and empowered in their healing.

Andrew Wallace

One of the most noble pursuits and individual can have is to strive to lead a meaningful and purposeful life.  This can be an extremely difficult task, both in terms of determining what this personally means and then figuring out how to get there.  When we feel stuck and overwhelmed, other negative and self-limiting states also take shape including anxiety and depression, leaving us full of bad habits and desperate for change.  In the therapeutic work with Andrew, the aim is to uncover the root causes that inhibit fulfillment and to further apply practical strategies that will permit change and foster personal growth.

Jeff Conners

I have over 20 years experience primarily in mental health & substance use. My style can be described as: a positive, down to earth, relaxed & commonsensical ‘blue-collar’ type. After years of doing the ‘tried & true’, I am interested in doing something new. So my current focus is on men’s health & psychedelics.

Joel Martinflatt

I am humbled to have been working in the helping field since 2003. During this time, I have walked alongside many people as they navigate life, deal with hardships, and persevere. I see my role in supporting you as holding space for your hurt and distress while also assisting you in finding the change you hope to see within yourself and the relationships around you. I strive to create a partnership of trust and support and to shine a light on your strength and capacity. Typically, people come to see me because life is hard, but counselling does not need to be. I infuse our time together with hope, and laughter. A little bit about me is that I am a partner, father, weekend athlete and outdoor enthusiast.

Pam Paquet

When clients work with me there is a guarantee that change will occur. This change does not have to be drastic or grand. It can come from a new or revised perspective, different level of awareness, change in reaction time or with a slight adjustment to feelings and thoughts behind the challenge. I focus on balancing the right model, the correct therapy and the appropriate strategies for each client. Because every client is different, the therapy and services provided should be as unique as the person(s) sitting across from me. I adhere to one philosophy with every client: if your comfort level is high, then you will do great work in therapy. This means the counselling process is driven by the client and based on their needs.

Freeman Woolnough

How do we know what works – and why? I believe that most people can ultimately provide the answers for themselves; however, it may take some exploration. I therefore use strategies that are evidence-based and research-driven, to help clients build resilience and develop effective coping strategies.
A counsellor is someone who is there to provide guidance and support in times of unmanageable stress. While our sessions may draw from various counselling approaches, including CBT, SFBT, and Narrative Therapy, the client ultimately provides the backdrop – and puts in the work – that leads to lasting change.

Madison Maitz

I take a holistic, mind-body approach in my practice and work to develop an awareness of how our nervous system plays a key role in regulating our emotions and internal state. I integrate aspects of both talk and body-based interventions to best support healing.

I specialize in; anxiety, trauma, stress, burnout, relationship issues, athletic & sports performance, and emotional regulation.

I draw primarily from polyvagal-informed therapy to support emotional and nervous system regulation, helping clients build resilience and cultivate safety in their bodies. I integrate somatic practices to encourage deeper body awareness and facilitate healing, and utilize EMDR to process past trauma and rewire unhelpful patterns.

Kate Bonnell

It’s important to me that my clients feel like they walk away from counselling with something, whether that’s a new insight, a skill, or a different perspective on what is an issue for them. My approach is collaborative, direct, and fully guided by my clients.

I feel it’s important to acknowledge the hand you were dealt and consider upbringing, socioeconomic status, race, sexual orientation, and gender norms and how they play into your own experience.

I work in trauma, anxiety, depression, and I’m passionate about helping late discovered adults with ADHD and autism understand themselves better. Some therapeutic styles I employ include CBT, DBT, IFS (internal family systems), and narrative.

Online and in-person sessions available Saturday through Wednesday.
