I have experience working with children, youth, and adults, in both individual and couple settings. I believe in tailoring my counselling sessions to meet the unique and individualized needs of each client, specifically with a holistic approach by taking into consideration sociocultural factors that may be impacting your well-being. My treatment approach typically includes Person-Centered Therapy, Feminist Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Strengths-Based Therapy. My approach encourages you to engage in continuous self-reflection and self-exploration, specifically by having you reflect on your core values and seeing if it aligns with your daily actions and habits. I am dedicated to creating a supportive environment.

Maria Malouf

Sometimes, the challenges we face can overwhelm our abilities to cope. This can lead us away from our values, sense of self and can make the future look uncertain.

During times of transition and uncertainty, we may require some extra support to help us make sense of the things getting in our way. My role as a therapist is not to provide you with an answer, it is to help you make meaning of your experiences.

I believe each person has their own innate wisdom and my job is to create a safe relational space for them to access it.

Mrs Kelsie Moore

Stress is the leading cause of so many health issues, so why not learn how to manage it better and live a healthier, more enjoyable life? I have experience with treating depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems, and many other issues using a variety of techniques and strategies from evidence-based treatment modalities including DBT, CBT, EMDR and solution-focused approaches. I help individuals overcome their hardships and thrive in life by providing an open and non-judgemental space to talk about the tough stuff and get to the root of the issues. I appreciate the courage it takes to reach out!

Sylvia Lagosky

Hi, I’m Sylvia and I’m so glad you’re here! I believe at some point or another, we’ve all experienced something that has changed our life. That’s why it’s important within my practice to develop a space where you feel safe and supported. I want to create a strong therapeutic alliance, one where you have a voice and a place to be your true, authentic self. Everyone has the capacity to be resilient and I want our sessions to foster this inner strength. Our time together is ultimately your time. Since effective therapy doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach, I offer cognitive-behavioural therapy, DBT, EMDR, ART, narrative therapy, sand tray therapy and much more according to your needs.
