ROSALYN GODDARD (SHE/HER)
REGISTERED PSYCHOTHERAPIST
I believe that people hold the answers within themselves and are the true experts of their own lives. My role is to offer steady, compassionate support as you reconnect with your inner voice and move toward what feels most meaningful to you.
I work with individuals who feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or stuck in patterns they can’t explain — those carrying grief or loss, giving more than they have, or feeling like they’ve lost touch with themselves in the process of keeping everything together. Therapy can be a place to exhale, reflect, and gently begin again.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in deep respect for your lived experience. I offer a safe and compassionate space where your feelings are honoured, and you can begin to feel more at home in yourself. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to create an experience that is as unique as you are — guided by your needs, your pace, and your goals.
I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Saint Mary’s University. I am also a registered yoga teacher with years of experience connecting with people through movement, breath, and body awareness.
Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, processing old wounds, or finding your way back to yourself, I’m here to support you with care, empathy, and respect.

MICHELLE CHEW (SHE/HER)
REGISTERED PSYCHOTHERAPIST
I’m passionate about supporting individuals and couples by exploring their concerns in the greater context of their lives. Whether you're looking for tools to cope with an undesirable situation or you simply need a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings, I'm here for you. I know how intimidating vulnerability can be, so I commit to walking through this journey with you at your own pace.
My approach is focused on self-acceptance, eliminating shame, and welcoming vulnerability. In our sessions I will provide compassionate care, empowering you to manage life’s circumstances and reclaim control. I utilize an integrative framework, drawing from acceptance and commitment therapy, emotion-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, and mindfulness. My specific areas of interest are disordered eating, communication, relationships, self-esteem, and stress.
In my spare time, you can find me cuddling up on the couch with my husband and Doberman watching a movie, volunteering at my church, or playing board games with friends.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. Currently, I am completing a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University.
I am a champion of personal empowerment, committed to helping the clients I work with uncover their inner strengths and skills. I believe that each person carries the capacity for growth, resilience, and meaningful change, and my role is to support you in reconnecting with those abilities.

My approach is rooted in collaboration and curiosity, creating a space where you can explore your experiences without judgment. I draw from evidence‑based modalities including cognitive behavioural, solution‑focused, and mindfulness‑informed approaches, and tailor each session to your unique needs and goals.
I hold an undergraduate degree in Psychology from Ontario Tech University, as well as an undergraduate degree in Biological Anthropology and Biology with a minor in Health Sciences from the University of Toronto.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time at the cottage, reading, sewing, and exploring new trails with my pup. I’m deeply interested in brain development through the life span and the cognitive effects of trauma.
