psychotherapy for real life

The heart of our approach is experiential and mindfulness-based, which means connecting to your actual experience – your emotions, your values, your creativity – and opening to things as they are. This is the place where new possibilities can be found and new experiences can happen. 

Instead of automatic reactions of judgment, control or avoidance, we try to slow down together, get curious, bring warmth – and let you reconnect with who you are. In this way it is possible to feel at home in our own bodies and our minds – even in times of pain and confusion.

our psychotherapy team

We are lifelong learners and critical thinkers, ready to meet you where you are.

Effective psychotherapy is more than a technique, it’s the way we show up.

A skilled therapist shares in a unique process with you, which begins with their ability to be present and authentic.

Our team of Master’s-educated psychotherapists are warm, genuine people with different personalities and lived experiences. Learn more about each therapist to get a sense of who may be a good fit for you.

psychotherapy for unique people

People with diverse experiences and identities are welcome here. We love to work with creatives, queer and trans people, neurodivergent and culturally diverse people, frontline workers and trauma survivors.

Talk to us if you think you are too smart for therapy, too weird to be understood, or too hopeless to move forward.

We hold space to honour racialized trauma, ecological despair, and other kinds of pain it can be difficult to hold alone.

We specialize in therapy that is intelligent, imaginative, and deeply felt

Our therapists have a common interest in approaches that are creative and experiential, including somatic therapies like Sensorimotor, Polyvagal and Somatic Experiencing; mindfulness-based therapies like ACT and IFS; and psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapies that explore relationships, attachment and deep reflection.  

what to expect in therapy

Psychotherapy research shows that it’s important to find a therapist who will *get* you.

Get started with a free introductory consultation with one of our therapists. This call will help you sense whether you think the therapist is someone you connect with. We will take 10-20 minutes to briefly go over what’s bringing you to therapy, and you can ask any questions you have before getting started.
