Welcome! My name is Marcus, and I work here as a Registered Psychologist. My formal education includes a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and a Bachelor of Kinesiology, and I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. I work with teens (13+) and adults through a variety of mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder and more.

After playing elite sports at university, national and professional levels, I gained a special passion for working with high performers such as athletes, professionals, or entrepreneurs to develop the skills required to thrive in all environments. I have worked extensively with trauma, and I have specialized trainings in trauma, Indigenous culture, and traditional Nordic and Celtic healing practices. I am happy to incorporate spirituality or culture for those individuals who find it supportive to their healing.

I want you to arrive at a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable being your authentic self. I set the intention that we will have fun, learn, and grow together because every counselling experience is unique and special, just like you are. I believe that you have the power to create your own reality and I would be honoured to support you on this journey of discovery.

I work from a trauma informed, holistic perspective that looks at the entire human being (not just the symptoms) including the interactions of the mind, body, and external environment which create your overall health. I utilize science-based approaches of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Somatic Experiencing and Mindfulness-based therapy to support transforming your goals and aspirations into realities.

I view our work together as collaborative, and I am happy to offer wisdom/guidance/tools when this works/fits for you. Together, we will clarify your goals and explore ways to work towards and achieve what you are looking for out of our time together.

Welcome! I’m glad you’re here.

I’m a Registered Psychologist with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University (2019). Post graduation, I spent about 3 years in a remote community in the Northwest Territories, working as a mental health and addictions counsellor. That experience deeply shaped my approach and allowed me to support individuals and families from a wide range of backgrounds, each with their own unique stories and challenges.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but I believe it’s one of the bravest steps you can take for your well-being. My role is to walk alongside you, taking the time to understand your world through your eyes. You are the expert in your own life, and I strive to create a space where your experiences, values, and strengths are seen, heard, and honoured.

I use a trauma-informed and attachment and strengths-based approach, which means we tailor our work together to meet your individual needs, building on what’s already within you. I believe that our relationships and life experiences shape how we see ourselves, how we connect with others, and how we navigate the world. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) including as an EMDR Child Specialist, Play Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT).

My special area of interest is in trauma and self-worth. I work with children (2+) and adults, and in particular, with our first responder community.

A little about me:

-I’ll drink iced coffee in any season. -My latest hyperfixation is crocheting. -My guilty pleasure is reality TV

If you’re considering therapy for yourself or your child, I’d be honoured to connect and explore how I can support you on your journey.

Hello! (12+)My name is Kristine Mallorca, and my pronouns are she/her. I am bilingual, and I can provide support in English and Tagalog. I want to recognize that the first step of therapy can be complicated, and I want to thank you for being here. I am a registered provisional psychologist in Alberta. I hold a Master’s in Counselling degree from Athabasca University and a Bachelor of Arts specializing in Psychology from the University of Alberta.

I have worked with individuals from various backgrounds, economic statuses, genders, ethnicities, and genders. I enjoy working with adolescents, teenagers, and adults and supporting them in their healing journeys. My previous work and experiences have created the foundations of my counselling practice to emphasize the importance of recognizing the potential of individuals and providing a non-judgemental and safe space for all those who walk through the door.

The work in therapy can be exhausting and rewarding, and my work revolves around creating space to help acknowledge the potential of all my clients to take on this work. As a person-centred therapist, I believe in using a collaborative and integrative approach, drawing from Solution Focused, Narrative, Self-compassion, and Mindfulness-based therapy.

When I am not in the office, you usually find me at home watching movies, playing video games, or reading. I also enjoy taking time outdoors, whether hiking, snowboarding, or walking with my dog.

Welcome! (16+)My name is Ashley Till, and I have been a registered counsellor with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association for over 13 years. I am a Level 1 and 2 trained Gottman couples Therapist. Over the years, I have acquired experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I am passionate about working with individuals and couples experiencing infertility and the many challenges that go alongside that journey. Another area of interest I have is supporting clients transitioning into parenthood, parenting stressors, and challenges.

Effective counselling supports a balance in overall mental health and physical well-being. I work from a person-centred, strengths-based approach, using techniques and strategies from Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Gottman’s couple’s theories, to cultivate an opportunity for growth and change. Counselling can be fun and truly needs a balance of doing the hard work of being honest with oneself and moving towards change, with a mix of playfulness and laughter. I take great honour in hearing clients’ stories and being chosen as their counselling support to help process past/present/future challenges and stressors. Together attainable goals are created, and practical strategies implemented and practiced in working towards optimum mental health and long-term life satisfaction!”
