Anxiety can look like constant overthinking, anticipating what might go wrong, difficulty relaxing, physical tension, irritability, perfectionism, or feeling as though your mind never really switches off.

Sometimes anxiety is obvious. Other times, you’re functioning well on the outside while using enormous amounts of energy to stay on top of everything internally.

Charlie works with anxiety where it intersects with ADHD, neurodivergence, and nervous-system dysregulation.

Jennifer draws on solution-focused and existential approaches, including support for OCD-related patterns.

Student therapists Patricia and Ciaran also support adults aged 18 and older with anxiety and worry through our Affordable Therapy Program.

Lina offers individual psychotherapy for anxiety, including concerns connected with relationships, attachment, and difficult life experiences. Sessions are available in English and Chinese.

Depression doesn’t always look like being unable to get out of bed.

It can show up as exhaustion, numbness, irritability, loss of motivation, disconnection, self-criticism, difficulty enjoying things, or simply feeling as though you’re moving through life without really being part of it.

Therapy can help you understand what’s contributing to the way you’re feeling while gradually rebuilding connection, meaning, motivation, and emotional capacity.

Charlie may be a good fit when depression intersects with neurodivergence, burnout, chronic stress, or trauma.

Jennifer may be a good fit when low mood intersects with substance use, recovery, or difficulty coping with overwhelming emotions.

Student therapist Patricia supports adults experiencing depression and low mood, including when it’s connected to stress, life transitions, or cultural adjustment, in English or Portuguese.

Lina supports people experiencing depression and low mood, including emotional difficulties associated with grief, relationships, and life transitions.

Maybe you’re still functioning, but it’s taking everything you have.

Burnout can show up as exhaustion, irritability, difficulty concentrating, emotional numbness, physical tension, reduced motivation, or feeling increasingly unable to tolerate demands you once managed.

Charlie may be particularly suited to burnout connected with neurodivergence, chronic stress, physical symptoms, or nervous-system dysregulation.

Student therapists Patricia and Ciaran support adults aged 18 and older with everyday stress and overwhelm. Patricia focuses on life pressures and transitions, and Ciaran on stress connected with ADHD, perfectionism, and people-pleasing.

You may appear capable and confident while privately questioning whether you’re good enough.

Low self-esteem can show up through perfectionism, people-pleasing, comparison, difficulty receiving criticism, fear of disappointing others, or feeling as though your worth depends on how well you’re performing.

Student therapist Ciaran helps adult clients explore the beliefs and experiences underneath these patterns while developing a more stable relationship with themselves.

Sometimes an experience is over, but your mind or body continues responding as though the danger is still present.

Trauma can show up through intrusive memories, nightmares, avoidance, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, dissociation, difficulty trusting others, strong physical reactions, or feeling constantly on guard.

Charlie specializes in trauma-informed work incorporating EMDR, somatic and nervous-system approaches, IFS, and attachment-based therapy.

Bonny works particularly with complex trauma, attachment wounds, dissociation, emotional dysregulation, and trauma that intersects with relationships or BPD.

Lina offers EMDR and trauma-informed psychotherapy, with attention to attachment, emotional safety, and individual readiness.

Complex trauma often develops through repeated or prolonged experiences rather than one isolated event.

It can affect how you experience safety, relationships, emotions, boundaries, identity, trust, and even your sense of who you are.

You may understand why you react the way you do and still find that insight alone doesn’t change the reaction.

Therapy can help you work with both the experiences you’ve lived through and the protective patterns your mind and body developed to survive them.

Lina may support clients experiencing trauma-related and attachment concerns through individualized psychotherapy, including EMDR when clinically appropriate.

Sometimes you already understand what’s happening intellectually, but your body hasn’t received the message.

You might experience chronic tension, hypervigilance, shutdown, dissociation, panic, restlessness, difficulty relaxing, or a sense that your nervous system is constantly preparing for something to go wrong.

Charlie and Bonny incorporate somatic and nervous-system-informed approaches to help clients notice these patterns, understand their body’s responses, and gradually build greater capacity for regulation.

You don’t need to hit “rock bottom” before asking for help.

You may be questioning your relationship with alcohol or another substance, trying to cut back, considering sobriety, returning to recovery after a setback, or simply wondering why something that once helped you cope has started taking up more space in your life.

Jennifer works with adults across different stages of change using a non-judgmental, trauma-informed approach that incorporates Motivational Interviewing, harm-reduction principles, and relapse-prevention work.

You don’t need to arrive completely ready to change.

Therapy can start with understanding where you are.

Recovery isn’t only about stopping a behaviour. It’s also about creating a life that makes change sustainable.

Jennifer supports clients with identifying triggers, understanding high-risk situations, developing coping strategies, strengthening support systems, navigating setbacks, and rebuilding routines and relationships.

Therapy can also explore the emotions, trauma, stress, loneliness, or unmet needs that may sit underneath substance use.

Substance use and recovery can affect trust, communication, intimacy, finances, responsibilities, and emotional safety within a relationship.

Jennifer provides individual and couples therapy for people navigating the relational impact of addiction and recovery, including partners who aren’t sure how to support someone they love without becoming responsible for that person’s recovery.

Therapy should not be another place where you need to explain, defend, or minimize who you are.

Charlie provides LGBTQ+ affirming, trauma-informed, and neurodivergent-affirming therapy for clients exploring identity, sexuality, relationships, coming out, family dynamics, belonging, self-esteem, and major life transitions.

Your identity isn’t the problem therapy is trying to solve.

Instead, therapy can provide space to understand your experiences, relationships, needs, and sense of self.

Graduation, career changes, relationships, parenthood, separation, relocation, identity exploration, and other major transitions can leave you wondering:

Who am I now? What do I actually want? What still fits?

Charlie supports clients navigating periods of uncertainty and change while exploring identity, values, relationships, expectations, and the direction they want their lives to take.

Student therapist Patricia brings a bicultural perspective to transitions involving immigration, cultural adjustment, family expectations, and belonging, in English or Portuguese.

Student therapist Ciaran works with identity, self-esteem, and the transitions of young adulthood.

Living with chronic pain or persistent physical symptoms can affect much more than your body.

It can change your mood, identity, relationships, work, independence, routines, and sense of what your future will look like.

Charlie provides psychological support for the emotional and nervous-system impact of chronic pain and ongoing physical symptoms, integrating trauma-informed, somatic, and nervous-system approaches.

Psychotherapy doesn’t assume that pain is “all in your head.” Instead, it creates space to work with the emotional, relational, and psychological impact of living with a body that may feel unpredictable or difficult to trust.

Sometimes it is difficult to find words for an experience. Art-based approaches can offer another way to explore thoughts, emotions, and personal meaning in a therapeutic setting.

Sylvia incorporates art therapy as a modality within psychotherapy, rather than as a separate service category. She offers supervised student therapy through Théla's Affordable Therapy Program, with in-person and virtual options.

You do not need artistic experience or skill to explore whether this approach may be a fit.
