Kristin Ball
(She/Her/Hers)
Kristin is a Registered Psychotherapist who supports adults, teens, and children navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation challenges, trauma, and major life transitions. Her extensive background in crisis and community mental health includes supporting individuals and families through some of their most difficult moments.
Her approach is warm, practical, and direct. She combines compassion with honest feedback, helping clients understand unhelpful patterns, build skills, and make meaningful changes in everyday life. Kristin incorporates a brain- and nervous-system-informed perspective, helping clients make sense of how stress, past experiences, and relationships influence their emotions and responses. She translates these ideas into practical strategies for emotional regulation, connection, and responding more flexibly to everyday challenges.
Drawing from cognitive behavioural, dialectical behaviour, acceptance and commitment, and attachment-informed approaches, Kristin adapts therapy to each client’s needs, strengths, and goals. She has a particular interest in ADHD and in supporting people through separation, divorce, co-parenting challenges, and changing family relationships. Her family’s lived experience with ADHD and anxiety also informs her compassionate, realistic understanding of how these challenges affect daily life.
Kristin aims to create a space where clients can feel understood, speak openly, and work toward change without feeling judged. Outside of work, she is a mom of twins, an avid reader, and happiest in a cozy corner with a stack of books and a cat or three.
Kristin offers a free 15-minute consultation to answer your questions, discuss what you’re looking for, and explore whether working together feels like a good fit.

Melissa Duggan
Let me introduce myself. My name is Melissa. I am an educator, an advisor, and a therapist. I have spent my career working with kids and young adults from 4-25 years old. I have a Master in Education and a Master in Counselling Psychology. I work in the world of career development but combine my knowledge of industry, education, and biopsychosocial development to support my clients in therapy. I believe supporting our nervous system by understanding it, providing compassion, and then moving to set goals can support long term mental health and flourishing.
With a focus on ADHD, Depression and Anxiety, I work collaboratively with clients to find the mind body connection that is in need of support. With a focus on neurodivergence, we will explore coping strategies for big emotions, how to flow with scheduling and navigating the neurotypical world. When we work together on depression and anxiety, we are going to focus on behavioural activation strategies and supporting our nervous system.

Edia Emamyar
Hi, my name is Edia Emamyar. I work with a diverse population of individuals navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, and other mental health concerns. My clinical interests include fostering self-awareness, strengthening boundaries, exploring cultural identity, and addressing the lasting impact of early childhood experiences and trauma. I recognize that reaching out for support can be one of the most difficult steps in the healing process, and I view the decision to seek therapy as an act of courage and self-compassion. I use an integrated therapeutic approach, blending trauma-informed Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and somatic psychotherapy. My approach is grounded in creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients can openly explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I work alongside clients to better understand their challenges, identify meaningful goals, and develop strategies that align with their unique needs and values.

Emily Light
Feeling overwhelmed by your thoughts or emotions? You don’t have to navigate them alone. Maybe anxiety is making everyday life feel harder, self-doubt is holding you back, or intrusive thoughts and familiar emotional patterns are leaving you feeling stuck. You may understand what’s happening but still struggle to change it. Whatever brings you to therapy, you deserve a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported in moving forward.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care. I integrate client-centred empathy with approaches such as CBT, ACT, and EMDR to help you better understand yourself, navigate difficult emotions, and develop practical tools for everyday life. Our work together is both supportive and active, creating space to process your experiences while building skills that help you feel more confident and in control.
I have experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, OCD, and other concerns. My goal is to offer a non-judgmental space where you can show up as you are, explore what’s been weighing on you, and work toward meaningful change at your own pace.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you’re already carrying a lot. You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. If you’re ready to explore whether therapy might be helpful, I’d be happy to connect for a complimentary 15-minute consultation, which can be booked on my website.

Stacy Olieux
Hi, I’m Stacy, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with two years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I work with people experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, and burnout, helping them better understand themselves, navigate difficult emotions, and reconnect with a sense of balance and well-being.
I believe you are the expert on your own life, and therapy should be a space where you feel safe, heard, and accepted without judgment. You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, struggling with painful experiences, or simply trying to find your way back to yourself, we can work together to understand what you’re going through and find a path forward that feels right for you.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your individual needs. I draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to explore unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping strategies; Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to strengthen emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness; Schema Therapy to understand longstanding beliefs and patterns that may be contributing to your struggles; and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore the different parts of yourself with curiosity, compassion, and understanding. Together, these approaches can help you make sense of your experiences, build resilience, and develop a kinder relationship with yourself.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy making music and spending time with my dog. I value the importance of having space for creativity, connection, and the little things that bring us joy. I hope to offer that same sense of warmth and openness in our work together, creating a space where you can feel supported as you work toward meaningful and lasting change.
