Hi, I'm so glad you're here. I’m Mikayla. I facilitate a collaborative, therapeutic space for you to show up just as you are. I believe we all have gifts, insights & experiences that inform how we progress and move through life. Sometimes we need someone to accompany us in rediscovering & understanding these parts of ourselves. If you're looking to reconnect with yourself, understand patterns & behaviours, honour & process lived experiences, or re-author your internal narratives, this is the place to create healing. I hope to offer a safe space for you to unfold & integrate the parts of yourself that have been crumpled up.

Welcome, I'm glad you're here. Seeking support to navigate life's complexities is a courageous first step in your mental health journey. Have you thought about how a satisfying sex life fits into your goal of overall health? In therapy, sex is often overlooked - yet it’s part of your identity and your intimate relationships and contributes to your physical, emotional, and mental health. As a member of both the queer and ENM communities, I understand the feelings associated with not ‘fitting in’ with society’s messages about what is ‘normal.’ I have insight and empathy into the unique ways sexual health can impact one's life.

Human beings are always searching for connections. Anything that hinders this need (or goal) will result to instability. Clients need someone to be with them as they ground themselves to accept defeat, find balance or peace.

With two decades of collaborative experience alongside psychiatrists, psychologists, and healthcare experts, I've dedicated myself to enhancing clients' mental wellness. Recognizing that pain and suffering are universal, I've come to understand that mental wellbeing hinges on how we process these experiences. Consequently, feelings of anger, stress, self-doubt, anxiety, and depression often permeate our lives. Do you find yourself withdrawing or losing control when adversity strikes? If you struggle with motivation, energy, or suspect depression, consider seeking support. I'm here to accompany you on your path to recovery.

Do you often feel anxious without reason? Do you sometimes wish your mind could just stop thinking for awhile and let you enjoy inner peace? We often become victims of our own minds and emotions, struggling with the same inner and outer turmoil over and over and don’t know why. Anxiety, worry, self doubt, fear and incessant thinking aren’t caused by a single factor but a combination of things such as trauma, difficult life experiences, loss, troubled relationships and stress. Dealing with these issues, processing your feelings and learning strategies to quiet your mind will help you attain inner peace and emotional resilience

Human beings crave the comfort and closeness of relationships but can also suffer in the chaos of them. Rigid and negative patterns can develop in relationships causing disconnection and hurt. Therapy can provide unique opportunities to interrupt what is not working and repair, reimagine, and create the relationships people want and need.

Winnipeg, MB R3G (Online Only)
My name is Laura Lockwood. I am a clinical social worker and therapist for teenage girls and women. I am passionate about supporting women in coming to a place of self-love and seeing their worth so they can reach their dreams. As women in our current society, we are often disconnected from our internal tools and resources that naturally exist in our mind and body. Our lives are fast-paced and stressful and we often struggle with mental and physical disconnection. This opportunity will give you a chance to take time to sit with yourself in a space that is supportive so that you can learn to access and develop your inner resources.

I provide services to any clients (age 16+) to assist with anxiety, depressed mood, stress management, eating issues (including digestive upset and other gastrointestinal problems), dealing with adult ADHD, parenting struggles, self esteem, trauma, PTSD, and any other general mental health issues. I can also focus on Nutrition Therapy which is not only what to eat, but also the why, when, and how we eat. I know that the often overlooked ‘why’ we eat is where people can really make positive changes. I help people come up with realistic plans to help improve their quality of life.
