Karen Sri Thomas
Registered Psychotherapist, MCP
As a counselor and psychotherapist, my goal is to help you through your struggles and challenges. Whether it's anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, family violence, emotional abuse, or relationship difficulties, I'm here to support you. Sometimes, traumatic memories or emotional obstacles can prevent you from feeling calm and centered, hindering your ability to live your best life.
It's possible that there's something unsettling lingering in the background or that you feel pressured, rushed, isolated, or disconnected. You may feel like you can't truly be yourself. If you're facing difficulties at work, school, or with a parent or close family member, I'm here to help.
Together, we will work on processing and overcoming your emotional or psychological struggles. Even small positive shifts in therapy can lead to relief and long-lasting change. I welcome adults of all ages, including those from culturally diverse backgrounds.

Tony O'Loughlin
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, GradDip
I am a trauma-informed integrative psychotherapist specializing in helping individuals heal from childhood developmental trauma, reconnect with their inner selves, and foster deep emotional healing. My approach blends somatic therapy, parts work (IFS), and nervous system regulation to address the profound mind-body connection that trauma impacts. I believe healing occurs when we learn to listen to the wisdom of our bodies, meet the wounded parts of ourselves with compassion, and reclaim the sense of safety we may have lost.
In my practice, I provide a safe, compassionate space where your full experience is welcomed. Together, we explore the parts of you that feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, gently supporting you as you uncover your authentic self and rebuild a stronger sense of wholeness.
Who I Work With
I work with individuals and couples who experience:
Childhood trauma or attachment wounds
Overwhelm, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation
Feelings of disconnection or difficulty trusting themselves
Persistent patterns of shame, self-criticism, or relational struggles
Navigating relationship challenges
