Our Team

Jennifer Vauthrin, MPCC, RPC. Over the past 20+ years of being a Clinical Counsellor, I have realized how difficult it can be to balance family, work, and have time for yourself. Most of us want happiness, to be heard, health, trust, career passion, stability, enthusiasm for life, and love. Finding the tools that work for you, as you are an individual, with areas in your life that are not the same as others, is where I come in. You are unique with your own set of wiring. The tools that work for others will not necessarily fit into your life.

Mia Balawi, RSW. I am a Registered Social Worker with a focus on counselling. I specialize in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), as well being a Certified Trauma Professional (CCTP). I provide services to those struggling with anxiety disorders, mood disorders, life transitions, trauma, attachment disorders, and psychotic disorders, as well as other mental diagnoses. In a session, we talk about your past, present, future, behaviours, patterns, and life events, and we talk about them in your own pace in a safe, comfortable, secure, and confidential space. You’re about to embark on a journey of self, and I am pleased to be your guide.

Robert Phillips, M.Mus, MCP, CCTP, RCC.

How long will this last? Am I doomed to feel like this forever? It’s possible that you may be asking some of these questions. You might also be feeling alone – like no one else truly understands what you’re going through. And what you’re really seeking is peace, happiness, and connection. My goal, then, is to provide two things for you. The first is specific tools that can help you feel better, right now. And second, I will give you an open heart so that you can be vulnerable and feel safe. I look forward to hearing from you.

Kristen Hamilton, M.A., RCC  I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor who is passionate about helping youth and adults identify and overcome the obstacles that prevent them from reaching their full potential. I seek to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for youth and adults to explore patterns and beliefs that may be hindering them from making meaningful changes in their lives. Together, we can explore and process the impact past wounds and relationships may be having on your sense of self and your relationships. Through processing and beginning to challenge these beliefs, I seek to help my clients feel more empowered and confident in establishing and maintaining their relationship with themselves and others.

I have a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy. I approach counselling from a person-centred, family systems and attachment-informed perspective. I also incorporate aspects of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT), as appropriate.
