Lorna Barnes, Oak Tree Counselling
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CT, CPC
I find clients are looking to understand themselves, to find reasons they struggle the way they do, and discover how they got where they are. We've all been influenced by our experiences, whether good or bad. Good healthy experiences give us the tools and confidence to navigate life, but what happens when our experiences have been far from good? A child experiencing abuse, trauma, loss, and neglect believes they deserve it or it's their fault, not knowing the adults in their lives are responsible to help them feel secure and confident. Negative childhood experiences often throw individuals into feeling too much responsibility, becoming people pleasers, carrying much shame and guilt, feeling like a burden, social awkwardness, experiencing cognitive distortions, depression, addictions, loss of identity, anxiety and panic disorders, inter-relational problems, lack of confidence, and a lack of boundaries. Clients need to know they're not to blame and there's hope to experience a healthier and purposeful life, the life they were meant to have. Clients need to know they belong, they matter and are not a mistake. If you want to find freedom, purpose, contentment, and healing schedule a 30 minute free consultation to explore whether we'd be a good fit to journey together to a better you.

Elliott Kemmet
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, BSW, RSW
*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* In my practice, I prioritize creating a supportive and relaxed environment where therapy is a highlight of your week, not something you dread. I aim to make each session feel like a meaningful conversation rather than a clinical procedure, where you can laugh and heal in equal measure. My approach is to foster a space where deep reflection leads to clarity and peace, encouraging you to explore your thoughts and emotions openly.
I value a therapeutic experience that allows you to be your authentic self, supported by warmth and non-judgment. Each session is designed to empower you, facilitating personal growth and emotional healing through genuine connection and empathy. Join me in a setting committed to nurturing your wellness journey with intention and care.

Jennifer Fukushima
Registered Psychotherapist, registered psychotherapist
As a biracial, non-binary person of colour and fourth generation Canadian I hold that identity is complex and I want to make space for you to be seen for your true, authentic self.
The issues I treat are all experiences I have intimate familiarity with through my own life or the lives of family, friends and loved ones which allows me to operate from a position of deep, inner resonance. As a wounded healer, I consider it an honour and a privilege to accompany you on your own healing journey.

Shari Derksen
Psychologist, R. Psych.
Connection and sexual expression are key to our existence as humans. I support clients in releasing shame, fears, patterns, and blockages that get in the way of their relationships, intimacy, and sexual expression in a non-judging environment that is LGBTQ and polyamory/LS Lifestyle/kink affirming. Find your voice in relationships and freedom in sexual expression. Create the life that you want.

Meredith Mpinga
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CPC
If you're feeling overwhelmed, confused by your closest relationships, or affected by difficult experiences from your past, you don't have to keep pushing through all on your own.
Perhaps you don't recognise the person you've become. Or maybe the ways you've coped before just aren't working any more.
That's why I'm here; I'd be honoured to come alongside you and create the space to process the challenges you're facing, together.
