Who Are We?

---

Currently not accepting new clients until September 2023. 

Lindsay specializes in working with individual adults (ages 18+) who have been impacted by trauma, and as a result, are experiencing challenges such as relational issues, low reaction time, anger, depression, anxiety, shame, loneliness, loss of identity, and poor boundaries. 

She loves to laugh and bring humour into her sessions. She is authentic and laughs at herself when she uses the wrong word or give a ridiculous analogy to explain a concept. At the end of the day, we are all human, and her desire is to connect with you and just be human together.

Lindsay uses an integrative approach to counselling, tailoring her approach to each client, as she believes that each client, and their needs, are unique. She is trained in both Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Observed and Experiential Integration (OEI), and Lifespan Integration (LI) which are evidenced-based trauma therapies that not only reduce your symptoms, but completely alleviate them. She offers support to those seeking personal growth, healing, and gaining a greater understanding of self.

Life is a journey that brings about many events and circumstances in our lives, some of which may be painful, confusing, and traumatizing. This can leave us feeling stuck, afraid, lonely, and disconnected from ourselves and others. Jess believes that through genuine connection and support, we can heal, grow, and become more fully ourselves. 

Jess is passionate about walking alongside others who are in pain by creating a safe, trusting, and non-judgemental relationship in order to help them heal and grow. It is through these kinds of relationships that we can explore past and current events that are causing distress and pain.  

About Jess: She has experience working with foster youth in group homes and women in residential programs. Jess also works from a trauma-informed, experiential, and relationally-centred approach. Her specialities includes working with youth (13+), young adults, and adults.

In her spare time she enjoys hanging out with friends, watching sitcoms, playing board games, going on adventures, playing softball, and hanging out with her blind dog.

Through Rachel's training and work to

become a clinical counselor, she has fostered a deep passion for helping individuals, couples, and families process and recover from an array of challenges from daily life stressors to extensive trauma. Rachel’s core belief regarding therapy is that each individual is the expert of their own lives and that it is the counselor’s role to provide a safe and open space to enable each person in uncovering and actualizing their strengths, wisdom, and resiliency through the tools and knowledge she has gained in working as a psychotherapist.

Rachel’s experience includes providing therapy to adult individuals, families, couples, children, and youth. Rachel’s areas of focus include addictions recovery, complex trauma/PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief, OCD,

relationship/marital conflict, and sexual abuse. As a counselor, Rachel incorporates specific therapeutic modalities/approaches to counseling that enable her to help each person achieve their goals towards living a healthy and fulfilling life. These approaches

include Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), EMDR, and Acceptance and Commitment Based Therapy (ACT). Through these modalities, Rachel incorporates art, mindfulness, attachment focused

processing, and exploration of patterns of thinking and feeling as tools in the counseling process.

In her spare time, Rachel enjoys spending time with her family, taking her dog on

adventures, playing volleyball, camping, and spending time outdoors (rain or shine!).
