Shawna Cunha is a Registered Provisional Psychologist with over 18 years of experience as a middle school educator. Her background in education, combined with her deep commitment to adolescent development and family support, allows her to bring a well-rounded, practical, and compassionate lens to her clinical practice.
Shawna holds a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and a Master of Education from the University of Calgary. She takes a client-centered, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approach to therapy, supporting both adolescents and adults through a variety of challenges including anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, grief, and life transitions.
She has a particular interest in working with individuals during periods of growth and change—whether transitioning from adolescence to adulthood, navigating school pressures, entering post-secondary education, or adjusting to new roles in work or family life. Shawna creates a safe and supportive space where clients can build resilience, process experiences, and develop tools for long-term well-being.
In addition to therapy, Shawna has begun offering psychoeducational and mental health assessments for adolescents to support their academic, emotional, and social development—both in school and in everyday life. These include tools that help identify learning needs, mental health concerns, and other barriers to well-being, along with assessments that may inform supports and services to enhance functioning across all areas of life.
Shawna integrates evidence-based therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Somatic Therapy. She also incorporates holistic practices such as mindfulness, yoga, and breathwork to enhance mind-body awareness and promote emotional balance.
Currently, Shawna is completing her training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to further support trauma recovery. She is also working toward certification in Animal-Assisted Therapy, reflecting her belief in the healing power of connection—with both people and animals.
Outside of her professional life, Shawna enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and two children, exploring nature, and volunteering with local animal rescue organizations.

Sienna is a Registered Provisional Psychologist with a Master’s in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. She has worked in the Human services field for well over a decade. In recent years, Sienna has worked as a respite provider to children diagnosed with ADHD, autism, generalized anxiety disorder, selective mutism, and oppositional defiant disorder. As the mother of two neurodivergent children herself, Sienna is well aware of the void in the system when it comes to supporting the caregivers of children with heightened behavioral, social, and sensory challenges. Thus, she is passionate about offering support and guidance to individuals who are directly and indirectly affected by ADHD and/or autism. Making meaningful connections is a top priority for Sienna and she works to create a safe space for the diverse needs of each client. Sienna uses client centered therapy as her foundation and draws from several modalities including compassion focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, narrative therapy, and internal family systems. Sienna also provides psychoeducation to caregivers so they can better understand how their child’s brain differences affect development/behavior. When Sienna is not supporting clients she gets a lot of joy from her gaggle of cute animals, listening to audio books, and hiking with her kids.

I believe in a person-centred, nonjudgmental approach to counselling, where no client struggle is seen as insignificant. I am compassionate and empathetic, and strive to ensure a safe space for clients to work through their concerns. I also understand the importance of honouring individual differences and celebrating people’s stories, while being considerate of the varied cultural and social contexts within which they exist.
I provide clients with the necessary technical tools to address issues and help achieve their goals. I know that each individual comes with their unique experiences and, as such, different people will require different things from therapy. Accordingly, I believe in having open and honest communication about my clients’ needs and work hard to foster a strong therapeutic relationship.
I provide counselling to both youth and adults experiencing a plethora of concerns, including those related to relationship troubles, self esteem, anxiety, self-care and life transitions, among others. I believe in an evidence-based approach to counselling that is largely tied to the client’s needs. To ensure that I am the right fit for my clients’ needs, I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation in order to help us get to know each other before a session.

My name is Samuel! I am a therapist and previous medical doctor who is
passionate about the messy and beautiful parts of being human. I believe
that we live in a world that constantly (and often effectively) tries to
tell us who and what we should be, which often leads us to trying to fit
in. This can create a considerable amount of conflict, and possibly
trauma, inside of us that not only leads to mental health challenges such
as anxiety and depression but can also take us further from the belonging
and connection that we desperately crave. As your therapist, I hope to
provide a safe non-judgmental space for you to think and feel your way
through the messiness of your humanity. I look forward to our journey
together!

Diana is a registered social worker with almost 10 years of experience working with diverse populations, including seniors, youth, and individuals with complex cultural backgrounds. Additionally, Diana has significant experience working with children and families who have complex mental health and behavioral needs. Her expertise spans parent coaching, case management, psychosocial assessments, various modalities and psychoeducation, all of which she uses to provide holistic and client-centered care.
When she’s not busy saving the world one psychosocial assessment at a time, Diana is knee-deep in community projects. Whether she’s running a Lunch and Learn or teaching Mental Health First Aid with a special flair for the ethnic communities, she’s all about making sure everyone gets the support they need.
But Diana’s not all work and no play. When she’s off-duty, you’ll find her dominating in various sports leagues, binge-watching anime like it’s her part-time job, or trying (and sometimes failing) to keep up with the latest TikTok trends. She’s all about balance, after all—it’s important to practice what you preach.

Navigating life’s terrain can be challenging, stressful, and overwhelming at times. I work with clients collaboratively to uncover more adaptive ways of navigating through these difficulties. I provide individual counselling in various areas including but not limited to anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, body image, self-esteem, self-care, and stress.
I prioritize creating a warm, safe, comfortable, and non-judgmental space where clients can share openly and feel both seen and heard. I believe the therapeutic relationship between the counselor and the client is vital to the counselling process and helps to foster a sense of trust and mutual respect. I employ an empathetic, compassionate, strengths-based, and empowering approach in my practice. My therapeutic approach to counselling is predominantly client-centered; however, I utilize various research and evidence-based therapeutic modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. I understand and appreciate that each individual is different; therefore, I tailor counselling to the individual client to better meet their needs and therapeutic goals.
I believe that everyone is capable of creating positive change and fulfilling their potential with the right tools, resources, and support. I look forward to joining you on your counselling journey. I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation to determine if I am a good fit for you.

I am a fellow human being on a journey of learning, growing, and healing. I have been supporting beautiful, messy, and imperfect people through the ups and downs of life for over a decade. My goal is to provide you with an experience of feeling seen, heard, and connected to a mental health professional who can provide a safe non-judgmental space. I feel that we are all whole (even if we feel broken) and it is through this safe therapeutic relationship we can open universes of possibilities like making sense of your experiences together, connecting with yourself and others with self-compassion, and learning research-based techniques. I believe that one of the greatest gifts I can give another human is my attention in an environment of openness, curiosity, and empathy. So, I aim to listen carefully, kindly, and genuinely—with an open heart and an open mind.

My name is Tristan Monague a status Anishnabe/Celtic man from Beausoleil First Nation, a Mount Royal/ Athabasca Alumni (B.A. Psychology) and a graduate from the University of Victoria with an M.A. in counseling psychology with a focus on intergenerational and lived trauma. I’ve also completed an advanced diploma through the Vancouver Art Therapy Institute where I focused on traditional art forms in the healing context. I’m also a member of the CCPA as a Canadian Certified Counselor and am registered with the Canadian Art Therapy Association as a professional art therapist.
I believe that over the course of our lives we go through many journeys of growth and transformation, sometimes we are willing to participate in these journeys and jump in with both feet and other times the need for a transformative journey has been thrust upon us through circumstances beyond our control. We can often find ourselves feeling lost and unsure of what the next step is and at times we may need help along that journey, and this is where I often have the honor of stepping into the life of a client in the capacity of acting as a guide on the road of change and transformation, re-connecting you to a sense of self, individual power and agency.
Working through the lens of the hero’s journey and utilizing a strong arts-based approach I endeavour to help you conceptualize the road of personal growth, transformation, and healing in a way that you can see reflected in aspects of your everyday life.
When not working I like to fill my free time with hikes out in nature, tending to the garden, cooking, carving, painting, listening to vinyl’s, doing martial arts, working out or just spending time with friends and family.
