Perhaps you are overwhelmed, struggling in your relationships, reeling from something that just happened, or you are finally getting to that thing from your past. Perhaps you have been waiting to feel ready, or to find the right support. Maybe you want to feel better but you don't know where to start. Maybe it's time to make space!

Complex Trauma Specialist​​​
You are welcome here.
We are a modern, trauma-informed and trauma-responsive clinic.
We work with a variety of issues, and we specialize in working with complex trauma and relationship issues.
All of our registered psychotherapists have masters degrees, specialized training (and warm hearts). ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​
We provide high quality support.
We move beyond talk-therapy and work with you intuitively as a whole person.
We treat trauma using standard EMDR, Attachment Focused AF-EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Resource Tapping, Brainspotting, Sand Tray Therapy, Sound Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Walk & Talk Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and other evidence-based styles.
​
We work with adults, couples, families, teens, and have child specialists at both locations.
​We also work with Police, Firefighters, Paramedics, Dispatchers, Veterans and their families.
We welcome LGBTQ2IA+ and neurodivergent folks!
Our work with families and couples is secular, anti-oppressive and strengths-based, drawing from Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Couples therapy, Narrative Therapy and other modalities. We welcome LGBTQ2IA+ couples, poly couples, triads, and couples in non-monogamous relationships.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​
We are highly specialized.
​We offer an expansive team of talented therapists who each specialize in their own chosen niche.
This means we have options to fit exactly what you are looking for. ​
​We also take great care matching you with the right therapist.
There are often a few people (including the owner) working behind the scenes to suggest a great match.
If there is someone you feel drawn to work with though you can also book yourself or let us know!
*We offer direct billing options with most Major Insurers, plus NIHB, Blue Cross and others.
