Who we work with
Our clients come from all walks of life, and most find us because something in their day-to-day life isn’t working. You may be a good fit if you are:
- A nurse, first responder or healthcare worker. Megan has worked in hospitals, correctional settings and community mental health, so she understands how these systems work and what it is like to be part of them.
- An adult with complex or developmental trauma. Trauma-focused work, including EMDR, at a pace you control.
- Someone working days, shifts or long commutes. Evenings and weekends are our normal hours.
- A parent or caregiver who can only book once the house is quiet.
- A student who is in class during the day.
- Navigating relationship difficulties, separation or divorce.
- An LGBTQIA+ client.
- Anyone who wants therapy without leaving home. Secure video across Ontario.
