Matt Hudson

I am honored to help those desiring meaningful change in their lives – personal mental, emotional and behavioural change is some of the most difficult work one can do and that is why most avoid it. From 27 years of practice and having worked with very challenging situations, I have refined my therapeutic approach to quickly assist with understanding of your symptoms, the real problem and practical strategies to gain relief. Therapy is a process yet a ‘deep dive’ into what troubles you can be achieved within a few sessions! I am determined to assist in the most effective and efficient way!

Exchiela Benusic

In my practice, I support clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, ​grief, stress, trauma, ADHD, and exhaustion. Life can be hard sometimes and my clients often tell me that they have so much going on in their lives that they’re struggling to manage their emotions. Many of my clients identify themselves as being helpers, healers, caregivers, entrepreneurs, advocates, and empaths and are having a hard time finding balance in their lives. If you’re tired of managing alone and want to find some peace or clarity in your life, or simply want to feel better emotionally, you’ve come to the right place.

Joel Mader

As part of my practice I use interventions and techniques that are practical and have been shown to be effective in addressing specific mental health issues. This includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Structured Relapse Prevention and Motivational Interviewing. My approach emphasizes collaboration, empathy, warmth and understanding, recognizing that these are important factors in developing an effective therapeutic relationship.

I provide online therapy using evidence-based practices to help individuals learn better skills to help them gain control over their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, and to live more successful lives. The focus of my approach is change-oriented and compassion-driven. Assessments are done at the beginning to best understand the individual and plan for helpful, change-oriented conversations. Remote therapy only.

I specialize in the assessment and treatment of adult ADHD and PTSD, and generalize in the treatment of most mental health disorders. I utilize an integrative and transdiagnostic approach to mental health treatment which incorporates a biopsychosocial view of the individual. I enjoy focusing on increasing good health behaviours by understanding the relationship between life experiences, socialization, stress, and current functioning. My goal is to work with the client in making tangible and meaningful life changes as well as gaining a good understanding and perspective into what drives their behaviours, emotions, thoughts, and physiological processes.

Amber Jerome

Hello and welcome,

My name is Amber (she/her). I recognize that sometimes, the hardest decision about seeking support is the decision to do so, which is why I emphasize the importance of starting where each person is at. I have over 12 years experience working with people from all walks of life at various points on their journey from children, youth, adults, and families. My approach shifts to the needs of each unique person I meet; nonetheless, it aligns most closely with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, and somatic or body-based awareness. I look forward to connecting to explore if I am the right fit for your journey
