Melanie Fuller
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Tired of being pathologized and feeling isolated? You are not alone.
Traumatic experiences are common yet unique to each person. While each person possesses unique resources and skills, trauma responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) can throw one off balance from their consistent, preferred way of living.
I am a registered psychotherapist (Q), practicing under the supervision of Christine Contant (RP, CTIC). My counselling and psychotherapy background consists of two years of behavioral counselling for individuals who experience developmental differences and one year (2019-2020) of experience providing supervised evidence-based trauma-informed psychotherapy (DBT, narrative therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive processing, somatic experiencing) at the Centre for Treatment of Sexual Abuse and Childhood Trauma (CTSACT) from September 2019-to 2020.
Currently, I practice online (private practice) and in-person while I complete my MC graduate thesis on parents' reflections of high-conflict co-parenting before, during and throughout the COVID-19 pandemic with Athabasca University.

Have you experienced something that has left you feeling lost, or unsure how to move forward? Perhaps you have noticed an increase in anxiety, leaving you feeling paralyzed or overwhelmed by your thoughts. Maybe you have been having trouble with daily tasks such as eating or cleaning, or feeling like you don't want to get out of bed. Some experiences in life can hit so hard, it feels impossible to move. It can be difficult to figure out how to process them and understand how to start feeling like yourself again. I specialize in helping people process and cope with trauma, loss, and grief.
You are definitely not alone. Together, we can work through the challenges that you are facing, and begin on the path toward healing and growth. We will create a safe space for you to process what you are going through, find new ways to create meaning in life, and feel some relief from the pain you are experiencing.
I recognize that it’s not easy to reach out for help. It can feel intimidating and vulnerable to speak to a person you have never met. Finding the right therapist for you is so important. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to book a free 15 minute consultation to discuss your needs and make sure we are a good fit. It would be an honor to hear from you.

Jasmine Bruce
Pre-Licensed Professional, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) RPq, BA
Welcome, I'm so glad you're here. Together we'll explore why you've sought therapy. There is nothing too big or too small, nothing too bad or uncomfortable that we can't talk about together. My approach to therapy is warm, accepting, and empathetic. Most importantly, this is a space where you will never be judged or made to feel ashamed. One of the biggest ways you'll experience significant change in therapy is by choosing a therapist who works well for you. As a therapist I am someone who will authentically show up for you every session, I am also human and come with my own life experiences, just as you do. I know first hand how scary and challenging therapy can be, but also how rewarding and life changing the process is. To see if we are a good fit please send me an email and we can schedule a free 20 min consultation.

Steve Rose
Counsellor/Therapist, PhD, MA, BA, CGC (CCPC Global)
Using substances or addictive behaviours to cope with underlying issues, you get short-term relief at a long-term cost. As you lose control, your health and relationships may be affected. You may then begin to realize the substance or behaviour is the problem, masking as the solution.
If you've tried to stop and keep finding yourself back where you started, it can be frustrating. Counselling can help remove mental barriers, allowing you to break free from ineffective coping strategies so you can gain a sense of control, clarity, confidence, and start living the life you want.
I often hear people say they try to reach out, but they don't feel understood. They often feel judged, unheard, or feel the person trying to help them has a hidden agenda. My approach is highly person-centered, meaning I help clients create a plan that works for their unique situation. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to addiction recovery.
It can be hard to reach out for support. Many people wonder, "will it work for me?" and "what if things never change?" In early recovery, there's a lot of uncertainty. Luckily, long-term change is quite common, with the right support. If you don't know where to start, reach out for a free phone consultation and I can help guide you through the process.

Laura Farberman
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW
Therapy is the journey of becoming free to be ourselves. Instead of becoming a better version of ourselves, we can connect to who we are at our core, without the coping mechanisms we unconsciously took on to survive. These ways of coping, often wired into our brain and nervous system, can show up differently for each person. For you, it might be perfectionism, procrastination, an inner critic, low self-esteem or anxiety, to name a few. My approach combines the best of practical psychology, science and grounded spiritual psychology. I make the roots of complex emotions, behaviours and addictions accessible and actionable so that you can achieve sustainable change and true transformation. I am trained in Compassionate Inquiry, a psychotherapeutic approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté that reveals the patterns beneath how we present to the world amongst other psychotherapeutic modalities.
Through Compassionate Inquiry you begin to recognize the unconscious patterns, which show up as triggers, traumas and ways of coping and suppressing emotions, and how to become free from them. I support clients to reconnect with their bodies, via somatic experience. Benefits include, relief of symptoms of chronic pain, anxiety, depression and addiction.
Soulful Therapy is a compassionate and non-judgmental approach to psychotherapy and an effective way to begin down the path of introspection. It is a place to process what’s going on in your present, make sense of your past, or explore factors that may guide choices to cultivate a life that feels self-compassionate, vibrant, and authentic above all else.
