Do you think it is time to talk to a therapist? Did you know that 1 in 5 women experience mental health concerns during pregnancy or after the baby comes? 1 in 10 partners also experience mental health concerns. Many parents wont admit something is wrong due to shame, stigma or fear of judgement. Sometimes family or even professionals may dismiss your concerns, but your therapist at Slater and Associates wont. We will take your concerns seriously. Postpartum depression and anxiety are treatable and you deserve to feel calm and happy.

Does your mind consistently race? Do you feel unsafe or wish you had more confidence? Do you feel like you simply can’t control what’s going around you? Do you feel like you have to keep busy all of the time for fear of your own thoughts? Do you want to feel more confident and in control of your own emotions, thoughts and behaviours? Do you want your goals achieved and relationships improved?

There are times when life can be hard, whether that's trouble at work, issues in our relationships, unexpected feelings of sadness or anxiousness and overwhelming thoughts that we can't seem to shake. This can leave us feeling disappointed, dejected and unsure on what steps to take to navigate these circumstances.

Things are not how they used to be and you don't know how to move forward. There is a reason that you feel the way that you do, and you're not alone. Trauma has a way of making us feel "stuck", heightened anxiety and stress can feel overwhelming, and navigating uncertainty can feel scary. I believe that we all have the capacity to experience healing when we are seen as we are in a trusting environment. My hope is that you not only develop a greater awareness within yourself, but that you truly feel heard, understood, and known.

Connect with me to start on your own unique healing journey today.

I am a South Asian woman of colour, who has experience working through a culturally inclusive lens. Through my lived experience and growing up in a multicultural society, it has given me a unique ability to see cultures from a different viewpoint; both the importance of beliefs & values that come from our cultures, whilst also recognizing the internal conflicts they can cause us as individuals. I believe as mental health providers it is important to meet the diverse needs of individuals within the community.

I have been using a holistic approach to empower women to take their mental well-being into their own hands, work on strengthening their voice, and making their needs a priority.
I have been working in the helping field for 10 years. I competed in bodybuilding and this was a huge turning point in my life in realizing that fitness was a huge part of my own mental well-being in addition to my physical health. This motivated me to continue my career journey into the Counselling field.

The physical & emotional habits developed in the context of your traumatic life experiences have constrained your capacity to live your life fully. Your attempts to live to the true potential you carry within, leave you frustrated. You feel alone, misunderstood and overwhelmed - like the emotional rollercoasters you are on will never relent. You end up often turning your present and future into a version of the past! If this describes how you feel, take a breath - what you are experiencing are best described as trauma responses. Therapy can offer tremendous possibilities for healing & growth. Why not experience it for yourself?

As a white, cisgender female settler, I am committed to living an authentic life in which I know who I am—and actively seek areas outside of my awareness/comfort zone.
I am impassioned about working with people who are awakening to their own potential and find having someone walk this journey with them to be helpful. I believe that holding space to be seen and heard in this awakening process is priceless. I am an approved RCC-ACS and especially enjoy working with individuals making the transition from intern/student to practitioner. I offer Ketamine-assisted Therapy through the FieldTrip Health Canada co-op program.

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
