Anne-Marie Lachance
Co-Founder, Registered Psychotherapist, (She/Her), First Responder Trained, Trauma Immersed Therapist
Clinic Manager
You look like you're holding it all together on the outside, but inside you're exhausted.
Maybe your mind never stops racing. You replay conversations long after they're over, struggle to switch off, or feel like you're constantly waiting for something to go wrong. You put everyone else's needs before your own, have trouble setting boundaries, and feel guilty whenever you try. You might find yourself stuck in the same unhealthy relationship patterns, questioning your worth, or feeling disconnected from who you used to be.
If any of that sounds familiar, you're not alone.
I help people who are feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or weighed down by past experiences that continue to affect their present. Many of my clients are high-functioning professionals who appear confident to everyone else but privately struggle with overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, emotional numbness, relationship difficulties, or the feeling that they're simply surviving instead of living.
Therapy with me is a space where you don't have to have everything figured out. You don't need the "right words," and you don't need to minimize what you're going through. Together, we'll slow things down, make sense of the patterns keeping you stuck, and help you understand why your mind and body respond the way they do. My goal isn't just to help you cope—it's to help you feel more like yourself again.
I work from a trauma-informed perspective and integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodynamic therapy, narrative therapy, and person-centred approaches to help create lasting change.
My approach is compassionate, intuitive, genuine, and down-to-earth. Therapy can be emotional, but it can also include laughter, curiosity, and moments of relief. I believe healing happens through a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel accepted exactly as you are.
I welcome clients of all genders, sexual orientations, identities, races, cultures, religions, and backgrounds. My office is an inclusive, affirming space where every part of you is welcome.
When I'm not in the therapy room, you'll usually find me reading a good whodunit novel, listening to true crime podcasts or music, walking anywhere near a body of water, or enjoying a quiet moment barefoot in the sunshine.

Emily Sukhra
Registered Psychotherapist, First Responder Trained (She/Her)
Life throws curveballs, and sometimes you just need a safe space to talk about it all. I'm a psychotherapist who believes in creating a judgment-free zone where you can be completely yourself. I bring warmth, understanding, and a touch of humor to our sessions, because sometimes, laughing at the absurdity of it all can be the most healing thing.
As we embark on this journey together, my priority is to create a space where you feel truly seen and heard. My approach centers on transparency and authentic connection. You'll find our work together is grounded in honest conversation and collaboration to increase awareness and understanding, seek solutions, and build towards your goals. I focus on tailoring evidence-based techniques to your specific situation, ensuring we work together to achieve your personalized goals.
It takes courage to consider therapy, and I am glad that you have taken the first step toward seeking support. Let's find a way to make the challenges of life feel a little less heavy.
Areas of Interest: Anxiety and Stress Management, Relationship/Interpersonal Issues, Life Transitions, Coping Skills, Self-Esteem, Communication, and Chronic Illnesses (Experience with Ostomies)

Erika Staring
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) (She/They)
Therapy can be intimidating to start. You’re sitting across from a complete stranger and are asked to talk about the most intimate and vulnerable parts of your life. Sometimes it may be things you’ve never spoken out loud before. My goal is to make that process feel a little less scary, and to create a space where you don’t have to edit yourself. You are welcomed and encouraged to show up as your 100% authentic self.
I believe the relationship we create is one of the most important parts of therapy. My role is to show up authentically, warmly, and without judgment, while creating a space where you feel comfortable being yourself. I’m client-led in my approach, which means I don’t come into sessions with a checklist of things I think you should be talking about. Instead, I want to understand what I can hold for you that day. We follow what feels important to you, and if you don’t know where to start, we can figure it out together.
I work with children, youth, and adults experiencing a variety of concerns, including self-esteem, feeling stuck, identity and Queer experiences, family and relationship dynamics, and self-harm. I’m comfortable talking about the things that may bring up feelings of embarrassment or discomfort, or that can be seen as taboo to talk about, things such as sex, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, and other experiences you may fear will be judged or misunderstood.
I want therapy to be a place where you can be curious about yourself, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and reconnect with yourself. Ideally, you’ll leave our sessions feeling supported, a little lighter, and with a little more space to create joy and whimsy in your day to day life.
Outside of therapy, you’ll usually find me playing video games, going for walks, reading, or being a body double for someone trying to get things done. I’m a big believer in curiousity, self-reflection, humour and getting a sweet treat.

Holl Owen
Registered Psychotherapist, Trained in DBT, ACT & Working with First Responders (They/Them)
The idea of therapy can be rather intimidating and overwhelming, but with the right support and person(s) on your team, you can begin to heal and make meaningful changes to your life. I think it’s important to have open dialogue wherein you can freely explore and be curious about your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.
As your therapist, I strive to make sure that you feel heard, understood, and validated throughout our time together. Therapy is different for everyone and taking an individualized approach means that we can work together to find strategies and ways to process thoughts and emotions that are tailored specifically to you. The therapeutic relationship is the foundation that everything else we will do is built on, so it’s important to me that you feel safe to express yourself open and honestly.
I like to use a collaborative, strength-based, trauma-immersed approach wherein we collaborative work towards what feels authentic to you. Every person’s journey in therapy is different, and I strive to create an environment where we can address whatever is distressing for you so you can live a more fulfilling life.
Specific area of interest: First Responders (family and spouses of included), LGBTQIA+ experiences, Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Athlete mental health issues, sleep issues, self-esteem, and school related stressor. I also have experience supporting individuals who are neuro-divergent.
When I’m not at the office, I enjoy yoga, reading fantasy or crime novels, listening to music or a podcast (True Crime is a go to), or playing video games. Truthfully, I get the most joy from animals, especially my dog Asta, and watching documentaries.

Rebecca Donnelly
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), RN, BSc, Professional Art Therapist (She/Her)
We are often the hardest on ourselves. Our voice of self-criticism can get so loud. Sometimes we care so much about those around us that we lose space to care for ourselves. We push down our own needs…..until we can’t anymore. As a mother and a nurse, I have experienced the pressure to spread myself thin, and have experienced the burnout and exhaustion that results. I have a special passion in supporting women through relationship challenges and life transitions, as well as working with issues of self-acceptance, self-compassion, and burnout.
In therapy, we can explore thoughts and patterns that may be blocking our ability to be compassionate to ourselves, listen to our own needs, and care for ourselves. Therapy can create a space where you can slow down, and pay attention to the quiet voice of your own needs and wants that is often drowned by the busyness of everyday life.
My focus in therapy is creating a warm and compassionate space where you are comfortable to express and explore your thoughts, feels, and experiences. I believe that you have the inner wisdom to find solutions, and my role is to help you connect to and trust that inner wisdom. I also offer art therapy for those who may be interested. Art therapy incorporates the use of art making and creation into therapy to connect you to your intuition and emotion, or connect to experiences that may be difficult to put into words. My art therapy practice has been focused on working with children and youth experiencing anxiety, trauma, and emotion regulation.
Connecting to ourselves is a lifelong journey, and I welcome you to book online if you would like to start your personal therapy journey!

Aspyn Morrison
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), Associate Addictions Counsellor, Counselling Intern (She/Her)
Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? Are you in need of support while navigating complex family dynamics and past traumas? Do you struggle with an addiction? Are you supporting a loved one who struggles with addiction? I believe no one should have to do it alone. Together we can navigate any challenges that come your way, through a blend of deep warmth, steady support, and gently challenging you, when you are ready to grow past old patterns.
As a therapist, I believe you are the expert on your own life. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering a gentle, safe, and truly non-judgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are. We will look at the whole picture of your life—not just your challenges, but your strengths, your history, and your daily experiences. Taking the first step can feel daunting, but you don't have to navigate it alone. When you're ready, I'll be here. Please reach out and let's begin your healing journey together.
Specific areas of interest: addiction (substance, technology, family support etc.), complex trauma, family trauma, anxiety and depression.
Outside of work you will most likely catch me curled up with my two cats reading (If you need recommendations on any genre, I am your girl!) or out on a hike exploring new trails.

Farrah Obaidi
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), Counselling Intern (She/Her)
Do you ever feel like you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? And if you added any more weight, you would collapse? At times, life can feel extremely overwhelming, which can lead to feelings like anxiety and sadness. You do not have to go through this alone.
I am a therapist, who values connection and believes that the therapeutic relationship is the vessel for change. I believe that every person is unique and, therefore, I draw from a number of different therapeutic modalities to tailor therapy to best support you and where you are at.
Therapy with me looks and feels like a place where you are heard, validated, and supported while exploring your thoughts and feelings. Every session will be led with warmth and kindness, to foster a safe and inclusive environment. My goal is that you walk into the therapy room feeling understood and you leave the room feeling less alone and hopeful.
There’s no “right” time to start therapy or no problem “too big” or “too small”. With me, you are welcomed as you are. When you are ready, so am I.
Specific areas of interest: Anxiety, Depression, burnout, career or academic stress, First Responders, intimate partner violence, and children 12 years and older.
When I am not in the office, you can find me going for a hike, playing my guitar, jumping into a game of hockey, or spending time with my family, friends, and pets.
