Find Support for What You're Experiencing
Anxiety, Mood & Stress
Anxiety & Chronic Worry
Caroline
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.
Caroline works with adults and young adults to understand anxiety patterns, develop emotional regulation skills, and build ways of responding to uncertainty, worry, and overwhelm that don't require constantly fighting with yourself.
Depression & Low Mood
Caroline • Jennifer
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.
Caroline may be a good fit when depression intersects with anxiety, ADHD, self-esteem, identity, or life transitions.
Jennifer may be a good fit when low mood intersects with substance use, recovery, or difficulty coping with overwhelming emotions.
Stress & Burnout
Caroline • Charlie
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.
Caroline supports clients experiencing anxiety, ADHD-related overwhelm, perfectionism, and life stress.
Charlie may be particularly suited to burnout connected with neurodivergence, chronic stress, physical symptoms, or nervous-system dysregulation.
Self-Esteem & Self-Criticism
Caroline
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.
Caroline helps clients explore the beliefs and experiences underneath these patterns while developing a more stable relationship with themselves.
ADHD & Neurodivergence
ADHD in Adults & Young Adults
Caroline • Charlie
ADHD is about more than attention.
It can affect motivation, task initiation, organization, emotional regulation, relationships, self-esteem, time management, and the amount of effort required to do things that seem to come easily to everyone else.
Caroline works with ADHD alongside anxiety, procrastination, overwhelm, self-esteem, and life transitions.
Charlie offers neurodivergent-affirming therapy when ADHD intersects with trauma, masking, burnout, nervous-system dysregulation, or other neurodivergent experiences.
Therapy isn't about forcing your brain to work like someone else's. It's about understanding how yours works and finding strategies that fit.
Neurodivergence, Masking & Burnout
Charlie • Bonny
Years of masking, adapting, pushing through sensory or social overwhelm, or trying to meet expectations designed around someone else's nervous system can be exhausting.
Therapy can provide space to understand your needs, identity, emotional patterns, sensory experiences, relationships, and the impact of navigating environments that may not have been designed with neurodivergence in mind.
Charlie works primarily with neurodivergent adults.
Bonny also works with neurodivergent adolescents and their families.
Neurodivergent Teens
Bonny
Adolescence can already involve major changes in identity, relationships, independence, and emotional intensity. Neurodivergence can add another layer when a teen is navigating masking, sensory needs, school demands, social expectations, emotional regulation, or feeling fundamentally misunderstood.
Bonny works with neurodivergent teens and can also involve families when appropriate to support communication, understanding, boundaries, and changing family dynamics.
Trauma, Emotional Regulation & the Nervous System
Trauma & PTSD
Charlie • Bonny
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.
Complex Trauma
Bonny • Charlie
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.
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) & Emotional Regulation
Bonny
Living with BPD or BPD-related patterns can mean experiencing emotions and relationships with extraordinary intensity.
You might struggle with fear of abandonment, rapidly changing emotions, unstable relationships, impulsive reactions, identity uncertainty, chronic emptiness, self-criticism, or feeling overwhelmed by emotions that seem to arrive faster than you can manage them.
Therapy doesn't have to reduce you to a diagnosis.
Bonny works integratively with BPD and emotional dysregulation, drawing from DBT-informed skills, IFS, attachment-based work, EMDR, and nervous-system approaches to address both immediate emotional regulation and the experiences underneath recurring patterns.
Somatic & Nervous System Concerns
Charlie • Bonny
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.
Addiction, Substance Use & Recovery
Substance Use & Addiction
Jennifer
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.
Addiction Recovery & Relapse Prevention
Jennifer
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.
Relationships Affected by Addiction
Jennifer
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.
Relationships, Couples & Families
Relationship & Attachment Difficulties
Bonny • Caroline • Charlie
Relationships can activate some of our deepest fears and most automatic protective patterns.
You might find yourself becoming anxious about rejection, shutting down during conflict, overthinking interactions, struggling to set boundaries, taking responsibility for other people's emotions, or repeatedly ending up in familiar relationship dynamics.
Therapy can help you understand both what's happening between you and others and what happens inside you when connection feels uncertain.
Couples Therapy
Bonny • Jennifer
Couples therapy can help when the same conversations keep turning into the same arguments — or when you've stopped having the conversations altogether.
Bonny works with couples navigating communication difficulties, trust and attachment wounds, emotional disconnection, recurring conflict, and complex relationship patterns.
Jennifer works with couples experiencing relationship concerns, including the impact of substance use, addiction, or recovery.
The goal isn't to determine who is right.
It's to understand the cycle you've become caught in and create different ways of responding to each other.
Family Therapy
Families are systems. When one relationship changes, the effects can be felt throughout the family.
Bonny works with families navigating conflict, communication difficulties, boundaries, changing roles, parent-child relationships, neurodivergence, mental health concerns, and major transitions.
Family therapy creates space to understand not only what each person is doing, but the patterns that develop between family members.
Identity, LGBTQ+ & Life Transitions
LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy
Charlie
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.
Identity & Life Transitions
Caroline • Charlie
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?
Caroline and Charlie support clients navigating periods of uncertainty and change while exploring identity, values, relationships, expectations, and the direction they want their lives to take.
Pregnancy, Postpartum & Parenthood
Perinatal & Postpartum Mental Health
Caroline
Pregnancy, postpartum, and becoming a parent can bring joy alongside anxiety, exhaustion, grief, identity changes, relationship shifts, guilt, and expectations that don't always match reality.
Caroline provides an affirming space for clients navigating perinatal and postpartum anxiety, low mood, overwhelm, identity changes, relationship concerns, and adjustment to parenthood.
You don't have to be struggling “enough” to deserve support during this transition.
Chronic Pain & Health-Related Stress
Chronic Pain & Persistent Physical Symptoms
Charlie
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.
Grief, Loss & Major Life Changes
Grief & Loss
Grief doesn't follow a schedule.
Loss can include the death of someone you love, the end of a relationship, changes in health or ability, infertility, pregnancy loss, career changes, migration, or the loss of a future you expected to have.
Therapy can provide space to experience grief without being pressured to “move on,” while gradually finding ways to carry what happened alongside the life that continues.
Major Life Transitions
Change can be difficult even when it's something you chose.
Starting university, changing careers, becoming a parent, ending a relationship, moving, entering recovery, receiving a diagnosis, or realizing that an old version of your life no longer fits can bring uncertainty alongside possibility.
Therapy can help you slow down, understand what's changing, clarify what matters to you, and make room for the person you're becoming.
Not Sure What Your Concern Is?
You don't need a diagnosis, a perfectly defined goal, or the right clinical terminology before starting therapy.
Sometimes the starting point is simply:
“I don't feel like myself.”
“I keep reacting in ways I don't understand.”
“I'm exhausted.”
“Something needs to change.”
Tell us a little about what you've been experiencing, and we'll help you identify a Théla therapist whose focus and approach may fit what you're looking for.
Therapy That Fits the Person — Not Just the Diagnosis
The same concern can look very different from one person to another.
That's why Théla therapists draw from different approaches, including EMDR, IFS and parts work, attachment-based therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, DBT-informed skills, somatic and nervous-system approaches, Motivational Interviewing, ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy.
You don't need to decide which modality you need before contacting us.
Start with what you're experiencing.
We'll help with the rest.
