Janelle Cooper — Student Therapist

Creating a space of safety and openness is at the centre of Janelle’s counselling approach. Join her in a collaborative process where you are the expert of your life, and explore areas of importance to you together while emphasizing your strengths and what is already working to further expand upon this. Janelle’s intention is to help you access the tools and wisdom already within and around you, as you venture together toward more healing and wholeness. Rooted in feminism and valuing social justice, she is passionate about equitable care. Janelle is especially interested in navigating topics that are often taboo or stigmatized in the majority culture, with overarching interests in relationships, gender, sexuality, Indigenous issues, grief and loss, and healing trauma.

With a holistic approach to counselling that incorporates aspects of solution-focused therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), somatic work, and mindfulness, Janelle works with people of all genders, sexual orientations, relationship structures, ethnicities, and cultures. She is currently accepting clients to begin counselling, with a special interest in providing accessible poly-friendly counselling!

“I value honour, humility and humour.”

Lindsay Redman — Registered Psychologist

Lindsay is passionate about taking time to explore your inner experience. Whether this means being present for emotion, honouring your stories or memories, exploring the patterns that arise for you as you connect with yourself or others in your life, or acknowledging physical sensations that ebb and flow through your body, she views all aspects of our experience and the perspectives we hold, as a rich paths toward growth and connection.

She attentively adjusts the pace and focus ongoing within her client sessions, guiding curiosity to flow, making space for insight to arrive naturally, and providing opportunities to shift and feel through emotions gently, in real-time. Her clients are making time to invite further connection into their lives in numerous ways, including artistic pursuits, career exploration, parenting, and romantic and/ or sexual partnerships.

Lindsay enjoys connecting with clients exploring their relationship with neurodiversity, sexuality, gender, kink, and relationship styles including polyamory and relationship anarchy, whether these are aspects of your life that you would like to bring active focus to within your sessions, or if these are simply peripheral details you’d like your therapist to have some base understanding around.

“We naturally experience growth when met with presence and connection.”
