Mallory Fisher
Registered Provisional Psychologist
Prioritizing a therapeutic alliance built on trust and transparency, I welcome all individuals into the counselling space with curiosity, acceptance, and an open mind. As an integrative counsellor, collaborating with clients to find an approach to therapy which best suits their needs and hopes for therapy is important to me. I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, including narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, and dialectical behaviour therapy. I provide services to individuals aged 15 years and older, and I offer both individual and couples counselling.
Liza Patapenka
Provisional Psychologist
I want to work on combatting the idea that going to therapy means that you’re “weak” or “broken”. Those suffering from severe mental disorders are not the only ones who can benefit from therapy. Many of the distressing symptoms we may experience are normal reactions to abnormal life situations; learned behaviors that previously served us well but can no longer be maintained or work as effective coping mechanisms.
Angie Ratcliff
Canadian Certified Counsellor and Counselling Therapist
My approach focuses on creating a non-judgmental, safe space where you can explore your story and life experiences with curiosity and compassion. My goal is to help you connect with yourself, understand your feelings, align with the values that guide your choices, and embrace new challenges so you can lead your life with confidence and belonging. Together, we’ll identify patterns, get you “unstuck,” develop effective coping skills, and build on your strengths.

Psychotherapist & Clinical Counsellor
Brandon will only be offering online or phone sessions from December 18th to January 4th. If you would like to book a session during this period, please select either the video or phone session type when booking your appointment.
What is the job of a counselling therapist? I believe it to be rooted in empowerment; in helping you to find within yourself and your environment the strength, knowledge, insight, hope, direction, courage, and confidence that were always there waiting to be found and tapped into, but which for whatever reason(s) evaded notice or access for a sustained period.

Charis Falardeau
Registered Provisional Psychologist
“As individuals, we each have a unique set of values that guide us. We may or may not be aware of what these values are, and they may shift over time and with experience. I believe that by understanding what is most important to us we have an opportunity to use this information to manage our thoughts, beliefs, and behaviour in a way that allows peace of mind and authenticity, which in turn leads to a meaningful life. Using our values to direct our choices and ground us in who we are can allow us to overcome challenges and put us on a path to becoming our best selves..”

Jessica Cundy
Registered Provisional Psychologist
Embarking on therapy can be an intimidating (and courageous!) step to take as you prioritize your well-being. I strive to understand your world and life’s path through the unique experiences, insights, values, strengths and perspectives that make you who you are. You deserve to be respected, supported, and honoured within the therapeutic process that we create together. I will strive to provide you with a non-judgemental, safe space where you can come as you are, unapologetically. Together, we will work on the issues that are most important to you, at a pace that you define.
Allison Eisner, MSW
Registered Social Worker
Everybody needs help sometimes… and that’s okay! Sometimes we need somewhere to feel heard or to feel safe enough to let our guard down. Sometimes we lose sight of our inherent worth and value as a human being. And sometimes we need an avenue to help us better understand ourselves and the world around us. As we develop our therapeutic relationship, I will walk beside you as you take steps toward the life you want to live. Whether you’re struggling with day-to-day stressors, a significant life event, or symptoms of a mental health diagnosis (just to name a few), I am here for you.

Life can be messy, stressful, and challenging, I get it. My goal is to show you that you don’t have to walk this journey alone.

Uma Pépin-Robbins
Registered Provisional Psychologist
Navigating the changes and transitions in childhood and adolescence can be scary. From physical changes to having different feelings about ourselves and others, this period of time is pivotal in our development and can be confusing to figure out alone. Without guidance and support, we can feel lost. I believe that with the right tools and support, anyone can begin their journey towards an improved quality of life. The goal is to find a safe environment where you can share your emotions and feel heard. My hope is to create a collaborative and culturally informed practice by valuing you as the expert in your own life. I also follow the perspective that the mind and the body are connected, therefore all the changes we make have an impact in our physical health and vice versa.
Manu Sharma
Registered Provisional Psychologist
“I believe that everyone has the ability to make positive changes in their lives. It is my privilege to support individuals on this otherwise daunting task. Through a collaborative therapeutic relationship built on compassion and empathy, we can embark on this journey towards healing.
I strive to create a collaborative relationship with my clients and emphasize authenticity in my practice. I believe in exploring contextual factors to determine sources of psychological distress, such as factors within an individual’s environment and broader society. I believe in exploring a person’s strengths to help them develop skills that can be applied to areas of life where they are struggling.”
Dr. Anusha Kassan
Registered Psychologist
“I believe that human connection can be an extremely powerful means of healing and I have a deep respect for people who take a chance and trust the therapeutic process. My love of psychology comes from a longstanding history of supporting the people in my life and I have a natural inclination towards understanding the human condition. I feel extremely privileged that my career path has afforded me the ability to teach and practice psychology as well as conduct research in the area of diversity – Something I am extremely passionate about!”
Dr. Christine Knight, Ph.D., R.Psych
Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Neuropsychologist
“I have found that most people are much more courageous and resilient than they give themselves credit for. As such, in both my assessment and therapy work, I focus on an individual’s strengths to help them develop skills and find resources for tackling whatever they are struggling with.”
