Reduced Rate Therapy

Hi! I work with people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or like they’ve been quietly carrying a lot on their own for a long time. Many are navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, or the emotional impact of chronic illness and body changes.

My approach is grounded in person-centered therapy and focuses on presence, deep listening, and genuine curiosity. I aim to create a space where people feel understood and supported as they explore their experiences and begin making sense of what they’re carrying.

As someone who is neurodivergent, I appreciate the many ways people think, process, and move through the world, including the impact that masking can have on our sense of self and wellbeing.

If you’re looking for a warm and thoughtful space where you can show up just as you are, without needing to have the right words or everything figured out, we may be a good fit.

Outside of counselling, I’m a mom of two teenagers, a bit of a bookworm, and happiest when I’m curled up with a cozy blanket and our dog, Sonny.

Hi, I’m Hope Finlayson, a Graduate Counselling Intern and Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS). I am passionate about supporting youth and young athletes who are navigating academic, sport, and social pressures. I work with young people experiencing anxiety, stress, friendship or relationship challenges, confidence struggles, and the impact of social media and cyberbullying.

I believe therapy should feel relatable, supportive, and empowering. My approach is strengths-based and focused on helping young people build confidence, strengthen emotional wellbeing, and develop meaningful social connections. I integrate CBT and DBT-informed approaches with movement and physical activity-based interventions, recognizing the importance of the mind-body connection and the positive role recreation and socialization can play in mental health.

I have a special interest in supporting youth navigating the pressures of academics, athletics, and social media. My goal is to help clients build coping skills, resilience, and confidence that can be carried into everyday life.

Outside of counselling, I enjoy watching hockey, trying new coffee shops, and catching up with friends!

Hi! I support individuals in navigating relationships, emotions, and identity exploration, primarily focusing on affirming care for 2SLGBTQIA+ folks. 

My approach integrates trauma-informed and anti-oppressive perspectives, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

I believe in collaborative, relational, and inclusive therapeutic relationships. If you're looking for a space where you can show up as your true self, we may be a good fit.

I feel most like myself when I'm being creative, laughing, and spending time in nature with my partner and our two dogs.
