I have been honored to journey alongside individuals into a place of greater peace, meaning, connection, and freedom and would be excited to begin this journey with you!<\/p>\n<p>As a therapist, you can expect me to meet you with compassion, warmth, humor when appropriate, and a desire to deeply understand and adapt our work to be most helpful to you. I believe counselling is a collaborative process where your knowledge, needs, preferences, and expertise on you are welcomed and important every step of the way. With this collaborative approach in mind, my role will include incorporating empirically validated interventions tailored to shift thoughts, emotions, and patterns that are barriers to your wellness at the pace and depth that feels right for you. While I have experience working with a variety of mental health challenges, I\u2019m most experienced working with challenges related to family of origin experiences, abuse, trauma (including sexual violence), relational ruptures, &amp; loss. The impacts of these challenges can include shame &amp; self-criticism, guilt, anxiety, depression, overwhelming or muted emotion, over-working, body image and boundary challenges, and more. I work from a somatic and anti-oppressive informed lens while incorporating my extensive training in Emotion Focused Therapy, an empirically validated therapeutic approach, that equips me to support you through the impacts of your difficult experiences.<\/p>\n<p>If you think we\u2019d make a good fit for your healing journey, feel free to reach out!<\/p>\n<p>To book visit:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fernwoodpsych.janeapp.com\/\">https:\/\/fernwoodpsych.janeapp.com\/<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<div class=\"iwithtext\"><div class=\"iwt-icon\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/devu4.customdev.solutions\/Natalie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20231006-DSC_4323-300x274.avif\" alt=\"\" \/> <\/div><div class=\"iwt-text\"> \n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Stephanie Yang,<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">MC Registered Psychologist<\/span> <\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]<span id=\"therapy-text\">I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Sociology and a Master of Counselling.

Thank you for your interest in working with me.<\/p>\n<p>I obtained my M.A. (2008) and Ph.D.(2013) in Clinical Psychology from the University of Windsor, and have worked for over 10 years as a psychologist in the public healthcare system.<\/p>\n<p>I may be a good fit for you if you struggle with anxiety, depression, unresolved anger, perfectionism, self-criticism, self-destructive behaviours, or have a history of childhood maltreatment. My therapeutic style is grounded in Emotion Focused Therapy and person-centred approaches. I integrate elements from compassion-focused therapy, polyvagal theory, trauma-informed approaches, cognitive behaviour therapy, and dialectical behaviour therapy, as it best meets client needs. Each session, you decide the important topics to bring to therapy, while my role is to help you understand the underlying emotional patterns. This means feeling and exploring the painful or challenging emotions that are beneath the surface of your symptoms and behaviours. We work together to learn how to let your emotions guide you towards meeting your needs in healthy ways.<\/p>\n<p>I believe that shame and self-criticism are at the root of many mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, unresolved anger, perfectionism, and many self-destructive habits. Often these habits are our best attempts at soothing or numbing the underlying pain. I don\u2019t focus on diagnosis, but rather I invite you to reconnect with emotions that may have been dismissed, ignored, or too painful to allow yourself to feel. My goal in therapy is to help you understand the roots of self-criticism, help you listen to and heal the parts of you that are hurting, and learn to let in the healthy and self-compassionate aspects of yourself.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in working together, please send me an email or leave me a voicemail at the contact information below. I offer a free 15 minute telephone or video consultation to discuss if we will be a good fit. At this time my private practice is limited to Wednesday evenings, offering individual therapy to adult clients. Due to the nature of my ongoing public sector work, I am not accepting private practice clients whose primary therapy focus is disordered eating.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for considering me as you journey toward healing.<\/p>\n<p>Contact me to book a free 15 minute consultation:<\/p>\n<p>Email: <a href=\"mailto:mundorfpsychology@gmail.com\">mundorfpsychology@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Phone<a href=\"tel:8252556460\">: (825) 255-6460<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<div class=\"iwithtext\"><div class=\"iwt-icon\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/devu4.customdev.solutions\/Natalie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_0230_edited_edited-300x274.avif\" alt=\"\" \/> <\/div><div class=\"iwt-text\"> \n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Melanie Robinson, <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">MC Canadian Certified Counsellor<\/span> <\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]Hello and welcome! My name is Melanie and I am passionate about cultivating therapeutic spaces that allow you to show up exactly as you are, and consider it the ultimate privilege to sit with people on their journey of self-discovery.<\/p>\n<p>My areas of interest include grief and loss, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, exploration of gender\/sexual identity, the process of differentiation, faith transitions, as well as the stress and overwhelm of motherhood and the journey of identity (re)discovery that comes along with it.<\/p>\n<p>On your journey, I will walk alongside you as you navigate your emotions, deepen your self-awareness, explore your values, and gain perspective that will help you strengthen your connection to yourself. I offer a warm, empowering, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where you can show up as you are &#8211; meeting you with curiosity, humour, and authenticity.<\/p>\n<p>I care deeply about providing a space that is anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, LGBTQIA2S+ affirming, and culturally sensitive. I am EMDR trained and use a collaborative approach tailored to each client.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_background&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_color=&#8221;#E8E6E6&#8243; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;20&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;40&#8243; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; id=&#8221;Community_innner_mC&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; gradient_type=&#8221;default&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<div class=\"iwithtext\"><div class=\"iwt-icon\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/devu4.customdev.solutions\/Natalie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Head-shot_edited_edited_edited_edited-300x274.avif\" alt=\"\" \/> <\/div><div class=\"iwt-text\"> \n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Kimberly Robbie<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Grief Recovery Method Specialist<\/span> <\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\u201cOur emotional pain needs witnessing, not fixing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I believe one of the most powerful things we can do for someone is to see them, to truly see them, and to remind them that the emotional pain they are feeling is NORMAL and that they are NOT broken.<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest sources of emotional pain in our lives is from emotional loss (and we actually experience sources of emotional loss and grief on a nearly daily basis!). Why emotional loss\/grief is so painful is because it is cumulative in our bodies, and because we are not taught about our emotions, nor are we taught healthy ways to feel, speak about, and process these emotions.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, we are taught that painful emotions are \u2018weak\u2019, or that we are \u201ctoo sensitive\/too emotional\/too fragile\u201d for feeling what we feel; we are told (directly or indirectly) that we should feel better asap, keep busy\/distract ourselves, and deal with it on our own so as to not burden others with our pain. These messages are what keeps the emotional energy trapped in our bodies, becoming heavier and heavier in our \u2018backpack of life\u2019 with each \u2018loss rock\u2019 we add to it. Now, imagine you gave yourself the permission to feel your painful emotions more freely, to understand and honor why these emotions are present \u2026.instead of believing your emotional pain is something to feel ashamed about and to hide away in? Imagine the impact that could have on your life?!<\/p>\n<p>It is my deepest passion to guide adults, young adults, and teens in revolutionizing their relationship with the losses\/ upsets of life and the normal emotions that result, with the nurturing self-compassion and shame-resilience tools of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT \u2018Tapping\u2019) and The Grief Recovery Method (GRM). When we revolutionize our relationship with loss and grief, this changes how we show up for ourselves and our hearts when we are in pain, hence transforming the way we love ourselves! And of course transforming the way we love ourselves has the potential to change everything in our lives! Simply put: when we have the tools and capacity to love our broken hearts in nurturing, powerful new ways, it allows us to move through life\u2019s losses with more grace, and frees us up to truly LIVE and LOVE in courageous new ways!<\/p>\n<p>If your heart is pulled by this and you want to learn more about starting your own journey, and want to learn more about my journey that brought me to this passionate, soulful work, connect with me here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kimberlyrobbie.com\">www.kimberlyrobbie.com<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<div class=\"iwithtext\"><div class=\"iwt-icon\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/devu4.customdev.solutions\/Natalie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20231006-DSC_4257-300x274.avif\" alt=\"\" \/> <\/div><div class=\"iwt-text\"> \n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Chelsea Penman<br \/>\n<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Registered Provisional Psychologist<\/span> <\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]Helping people and making an impact in the world through spreading kind connection and engaging with empathy is my purpose. I have felt the call to sit with others as they navigate the complex and difficult seasons of their lives since I was a teen, and I am honoured to have the opportunity to walk with others on these journeys to heal and create change in their lives.<\/p>\n<p>I believe the client is the expert on their lives, goals, and how they would like to work together in therapy. I am client-centred, warm, accepting, and empathetic in my work with clients. I believe authentic connections rooted in kindness and unconditional understanding can create success for therapeutic healing.<\/p>\n<p>As a therapist, I have grounded in psychodynamic therapy, with additional modalities of ACT, EMDR, and narrative therapies. I am passionate about helping people understand unconscious inner conflicts and unhealed elements enacting influence on their life, exemplified in harmful patterns of behaviour, thought, feeling, and relation. I aim to raise awareness to these as well as societal elements which add pressure and create conflict in many areas of our lives. I would like to work with issues of grief, trauma, depression, and anxiety, as well as issues specific to women and the LGBTQ2IA+ community.<\/p>\n<p>Showing up and seeking out therapy is hard.
