Hi! I’m Michelle, a registered Social Worker passionate about walking alongside individuals and families as they navigate life’s complexities. I offer counselling that is trauma-informed, neuro-affirming, compassionate, and tailored to you.
My practice is grounded in deep respect for each person’s unique story. I specialize in working with neurodivergent individuals, including late-diagnosed women, and supporting families navigating new or evolving diagnoses. I also provide guidance through family conflict, attachment-related challenges, and experiences involving child welfare.
I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT). This eclectic approach allows me to create individualized care plans that truly reflect your needs, strengths, and goals.
My work is built on a foundation of trauma-informed care, always considering how past experiences may shape the present. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or your family, I strive to offer a space that feels safe, validating, and empowering.
about steve hambleton
Hi! I’m Steve Hambleton, and I’ve been working in the field of developmental services for over 15 years. As a Developmental Services Worker (DSW), I’m passionate about creating inclusive environments where individuals of all abilities feel valued, empowered, and connected.
Throughout my career, I’ve supported individuals with a wide range of physical and developmental disabilities in both residential settings and community recreation programs. My support focuses on social and recreational programming, community integration, and helping people build meaningful connections and a strong sense of belonging.
I believe deeply in person-centred care—honouring each person’s strengths, autonomy, and goals. My approach is grounded in respect, collaboration, and empowerment, always advocating for the rights and choices of those I support.
Whether I’m organizing a community event, supporting daily living, or helping someone pursue a personal milestone, my goal is always the same: to walk alongside people in a way that uplifts their voice, fosters connection, and celebrates who they are.

Hi, I’m Stacey. I’m a Registered Indigenous Social Worker, and for more than a decade I’ve had the honour of walking alongside children, youth, and families as they uncover their strengths, nurture resilience, and build connections.
I specialize in supporting individuals living with ADHD, ASD, youth and children, families in crisis and parents seeking guidance and healing in their relationships with their children. I am passionate about guiding individuals through complicated systems and working to dismantle obstacles that stand in the way of accessing support.
While my practice is deeply rooted in supporting Indigenous individuals and families as they unpack cultural identity, address the impacts of intergenerational trauma, and connect with their roots and spirit, I also work with people of all cultural backgrounds, offering a safe, inclusive space for those looking to explore a deeper sense of their identities.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and culturally grounded. I integrate evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused strategies, while honouring Indigenous ways of knowing and healing. Together, we can create a safe space where your story is respected, your strengths are celebrated, and new pathways for growth and connection can emerge.

Hi, I’m Narmeen Ellahi, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the CRPO and a certified ABA/IBI Therapist. I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and a Post Graduate certification in Autism and Behaviour Science. I have spent several years supporting children, teens, and families in different therapeutic roles. I use my ABA/IBI training through a compassionate, strengths-based lens, focusing on supporting each individual’s growth, autonomy, and well-being rather than promoting compliance for its own sake. My approach is guided by respect, collaboration, and an emphasis on building meaningful skills that empower individuals, honour their identities, and support their unique goals. I’m committed to using evidence-based strategies in a way that is ethical, affirming, and centered on the person’s voice and lived experience.
I’m passionate about creating a safe and supportive space where individuals, children, and parents feel understood and empowered. My passion lies in helping individuals build meaningful connections, develop emotional resilience, and navigate life’s challenges with confidence. I take a compassionate, evidence-based approach to therapy, drawing from a range of therapeutic modalities to meet each individuals’s unique needs.
I believe that growth happens when we feel supported, and I work closely with parents and caregivers to create an environment where children can thrive. At the core of my practice is a belief that every person has the capacity for healing and growth when offered a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment. Whether it’s navigating challenges, managing big emotions, or building confidence, my goal is to empower both children and adults to discover their strengths, enhance their coping skills, and live more fulfilling lives.

Hi! I’m Jonayca. I’m a Registered Social Worker with 8 years of experience walking alongside children, youth, families, and individuals through life’s many twists and turns. I take pride in offering genuine, compassionate support—walking hand in hand with you (or your family) as you tap into your resilience, navigate challenges, and embrace healing at your own pace.
My approach is collaborative and client-centered. Together, we’ll explore insights, build coping strategies, and create meaningful change that fits your unique journey. Whether you’re hoping to strengthen relationships, manage anxiety or stress, or simply understand yourself better, I aim to make therapy a space where growth feels possible, personal, and empowering.
My practice is deeply rooted in respect for your experiences, identity, and values. I have had the privilege of working with diverse communities, including First Nations, Inuit, and Métis (FNIM) individuals and families, as well as members of the LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent community. These experiences have grounded my practice in cultural humility, inclusivity, and a deep appreciation for the ways identity, culture, and community shape our healing journeys.
I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Psychodynamic Therapy, while fostering a safe and nurturing environment for exploration and self-discovery. Together, we’ll transform challenges into opportunities for growth, strengthen your sense of resilience, and help you move toward a life that feels more balanced, grounded, and fulfilling.
Therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely heard, deeply understood, and supported. My goal is to create a space that honours your story, validates your experiences, and celebrates your progress—without judgment, pressure, or pretense. Above all, I want you to leave each session feeling lighter, more hopeful, and connected to the strength that’s already within you.
Shé:kon, Hello. My name is Alisha Parks.
