ANXIETY THERAPY

Therapist focusing on individuals, couples, and youth counselling

Team Lead | Therapist

You're carrying a lot right now. Whether it's anxiety keeping you up at night, relationship tension that won't go away, parenting stress that feels overwhelming, or just the weight of trying to figure it all out alone—you know something needs to change. But reaching out for help? That feels like another thing on an already impossible to-do list.

And even when you do reach out, you want someone who gets it. Someone who speaks your language—literally and figuratively. Someone who won't tell you what to do, but will help you find your own answers.

That's where Nevena comes in.

With nearly 14 years of experience as a social worker and counsellor, Nevena has walked alongside people just like you through anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and everything in between. She holds a Master of Social Work from Wilfrid Laurier University and draws on evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy—but more importantly, she brings genuine warmth and a deep belief in your ability to heal.

Counselling support for anxiety and stress. 

"Everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued."

Finding the right support shouldn't feel like an uphill battle. Whether you are navigating neurodivergence, living with an intellectual or developmental disability, or managing the weight of anxiety and stress, you deserve compassionate care that respects your circumstances.

Everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued in therapy. If you have diverse needs or a developmental disability, finding someone who truly understands can feel impossible.

Through her extensive background as a Direct Support Professional, Developmental Services Worker, and Mental Health Worker, Gillian has gained deep experience supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities alongside complex mental health challenges.

Gillian supports individuals facing mental health challenges and life stresses, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and youth and adults from diverse backgrounds. Her practice is rooted in a strengths-based and inclusive philosophy. She believes that therapy should be a sanctuary where you can bring your whole self - your stresses, questions, imperfections, and hopes - and be met with genuine respect.

If you have been searching for a professional who understands diverse needs and prioritizes accessibility, Gillian provides a safe, supportive environment designed to help you thrive.

Therapist focusing in couples/relationships, burnout and perfectionism. 

"Let go of perfectionism. Reconnect with your true self."

You're exhausted from trying to be perfect. The high expectations, the constant pressure, the feeling that nothing you do is ever good enough, it's burning you out and stealing your joy.

Burnout from perfectionism isn't laziness, it's the result of pushing yourself beyond what's sustainable. Whether you're a teen drowning in academic pressure, an adult stretched too thin, or a couple struggling to connect under the weight of life's demands, you deserve to define what healing and growth mean for you, not what others expect.

Melissa's background as a registered massage therapist deepened her appreciation for the mind-body connection. She recognizes that emotional healing often involves physical awareness and brings this understanding into her work with warmth and attunement.

Melissa focusing on anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, life transitions, trauma, relationship concerns, couples counselling, parent coaching, and thoughtful support for those considering psychedelic-assisted therapy. She draws from evidence-based therapies and tailors her approach to each person's goals, whether you're building insight, processing trauma, reconnecting with values, or nurturing more meaningful relationships.

With a calm, grounded presence, Melissa creates a safe, respectful space where you feel truly seen. As she says, "Therapy with me is a collaborative process. You bring your story, strengths, and hopes for change; I bring a steady, compassionate presence and evidence-based tools. Together, we'll move toward more clarity, resilience, and a deeper connection with your true self."

Therapist focusing in Perinatal Mental Health, Postpartum and Life Transitions 

"You won't always feel this way."

You're overwhelmed, stressed, and worried you'll always feel this way. The burnout from day-to-day tasks, work demands, and parenting feels crushing. You're lost about your next steps and can't stop your racing mind.

Whether you're navigating pregnancy or postpartum challenges, experiencing caregiver burnout, or struggling with anxiety and depression during major life transitions, the exhaustion is real. You deserve confidence in making decisions, the ability to quiet your mind, and to simply feel better. It shouldn't be this hard.

Madeline understands that feeling burnt out, stressed, and worried doesn't make you weak, it makes you human. She knows that whether you're overwhelmed by parenting, work, or simply lost about your next steps, you need practical help and compassionate support.

Madeline supports individuals with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, anxiety, depression, caregiver burnout, or stress management for adults and older teens (16+). She works with individuals and couples, including those with Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) coverage. Her approach focuses on uncovering your inner strengths while developing practical ways to help you feel better and thrive.

With warmth and a strength-based approach, Madeline creates a space where you can be vulnerable, connect to your strengths, and develop a positive therapeutic relationship where you feel safe and able to face challenges. Together, you'll break things down into small steps and work toward aligning with your values.

Therapist focusing on DBT for teens and young adults (13-21)

"Your teen can build a life worth living."

Your teen is drowning in emotions they can't control. Mood swings, impulsive decisions, risky behaviors—it's terrifying. You're watching them struggle, maybe even harm themselves, and feel helpless and scared.

School avoidance. Angry outbursts. Self-harm. These aren't character flaws—they're signs your teen is overwhelmed without the skills to manage what they're feeling. Adolescence shouldn't be this dangerous. Your family deserves tools that actually work.

Jennifer is a Registered Nurse (RN) Psychotherapist with 35+ years in youth psychiatric care and a specialty mental health designation. She's one of the few therapists in London with comprehensive Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) training and has been practicing DBT for 20 years, making her one of the region's most experienced DBT specialists.
