Simona Ilieva
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP
*Accepting New Clients* As a therapist, my goal is to help you navigate life’s challenges, empowering you to overcome the obstacles that hinder your ability to live a life aligned with your goals and values. My approach is grounded in the understanding that mental health is impacted by a multitude of factors. I recognize the profound impact that structural and systemic barriers can have on your well-being. These external pressures can often create feelings of frustration and hopelessness, making it difficult to find a path forward. In our work together, we will explore these external influences while focusing on your internal strengths. By identifying and acknowledging your resilience, we can work together to create the meaning change you are seeking in your life. I work with individuals 16+, couples, and families and offer a free 15-minute consultation to ensure I am the proper fit for your journey.

Molly Heffernan
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
*Currently accepting NEW clients* - Hi there, I'm Molly! I help all kinds of humans (18+) navigate the ups and downs of life. Often, my clients are struggling with depression, anxiety, difficulties within relationships (like conflict, codependency, and people pleasing), and difficulties measuring up to the rigid and unrealistic expectations of the world we live in (leaving them with a deep sense of shame and unworthiness). Simply existing as a human can be really hard somedays, let alone doing all of the things that come with human-ing.
Our work together is informed by my experience (over a decade of work in the mental health system, including hospitals and a school board), knowledge, and more formal certifications (in modalities like CBT for instance -- but there is SO much more than CBT!), and of course by you and the uniqueness of your stories and experiences. Please consider reaching out -- I would love to hear from you.

Brenda Cohen
Registered Psychotherapist, (Qualifying) BA, PsyDipl
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
We’ve all heard the saying, but can we actualize it? Can we find transformation and re-birth within our struggles, anxieties, and suffering? I too have been to the psychological underworld and battled the dragons of uncertainty and strife. I know that therapy can stimulate an exploration of the tasks and obstacles of life. Together, we can lean into adversity as an existential wake-up, calling you to new growth, understanding, and healing.
As we work together, we can:
- Harness your inner strengths and move beyond the challenges that hold you back.
- Heighten your appreciation for life
- Enhance your relationships by fostering better communication and greater connection
- cultivate a spiritual awareness that transforms how you see yourself and the world around you.
In my practice, I help clients understand that within every challenge lies the potential for deeper meaning, and a life filled with more purpose and joy.
By integrating principles from Positive Psychology, Strength Psychology, Jungian thought, and existentialism, I offer a unique approach that emphasizes healing through meaning. Together, we can uncover the paths forward—toward greater fulfillment, clarity, and an enriched sense of connectedness. Are you ready to explore the possibilities? Let's begin this transformative journey together.
