Sara supports children, youth, and adults in healing from trauma, stress, and life’s challenges. Stress and difficult experiences can show up in the body as anxiety, chronic pain, sleep problems, or just feeling “off.” She works with clients who have experienced childhood trauma, attachment challenges, or increased stress from school, work, relationships, or recent life events.

Sara uses trauma-informed, bottom-up approaches such as play therapy, sand tray, art, and Somatic Experiencing to help clients tune into their bodies, process emotions safely, and build regulation and resilience. She also supports children, youth, and families living with type 1 diabetes, offering support for parents, caregivers, and family members.

With children, youth and caregivers, she integrates Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) to strengthen caregiver-child relationships and support children outside of therapy sessions. Sara creates a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space and invites potential clients to reach out to see if they are a good fit before booking a session.

Hi there! I’m Danielle (she/her), a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who is passionate about helping children, teens, adults, and families feel supported, understood, and empowered in their growth and healing. At Connected Roots Therapy, I strive to create a warm, inclusive, and compassionate space where clients can explore their experiences, strengthen relationships, and move toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for them.

I enjoy working with individuals across the lifespan and from diverse cultural backgrounds, and I am committed to providing an affirming and welcoming space for 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals. I believe that care should be accessible, respectful, and responsive to each person’s unique experiences and identity.

As someone living with Type 2 Diabetes, I also bring lived experience to my work with individuals and families navigating chronic illness, health-related stress, and the emotional impact that medical conditions can have on daily life, relationships, and well-being. This perspective allows me to approach this work with both professional knowledge and personal understanding.

Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent more than five years working in child welfare and in the fields of family and gender-based violence. These experiences shaped my trauma-informed lens and deepened my commitment to helping people feel safe, seen, and supported as they navigate life’s challenges.

My approach is attachment-based, trauma-informed, and relational. I draw from Attachment Theory, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT-informed), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT-informed), and Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP Level 1) to support clients in building coping skills, deepening self-understanding, and creating lasting change aligned with their values and goals.

Outside of the therapy room, you’ll often find me baking, reading, travelling, or exploring new places with my Australian Shepherd, Franklin. My curiosity about people, stories, and relationships continues to inspire the authenticity, compassion, and connection I bring to my work with clients every day.

Hey there, I’m Wrenna, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) specializing in therapy for children and teens. I support young people—and when helpful, their caregivers—in navigating life transitions, emotional challenges, and mental health concerns such as anxiety, trauma, grief, neurodiversity, chronic illness (including Type 1 diabetes), and school or behavioural difficulties.

I believe that strong, supportive relationships are at the heart of healing and growth. My approach to child and youth therapy is client-centered, meaning our sessions are guided by your unique experiences, needs, and pace. I strive to create a safe, inclusive, and compassionate space where children and teens feel understood, supported, and empowered.

My work is trauma-informed, attachment-based, and emotion-focused, drawing from evidence-based therapeutic approaches to build self-awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience. I integrate play therapy and art-based interventions to support communication, processing, and skill development—especially for younger children.

With a background as a Child and Youth Worker in both school and community settings, I have extensive experience supporting children, adolescents, and families. This work has shaped my passion for helping young people build meaningful connections, strengthen their sense of self, and improve overall well-being.

If you’re looking for a child or teen therapist and feel we might be a good fit, I invite you to reach out. I look forward to connecting with you.

Hi, I’m Joanne (she/her), a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who works with children, adolescents, adults, and caregivers navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, chronic illness, relationship challenges, and the many moments in life that leave us feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from ourselves.

I believe that healing begins in relationships where we feel safe enough to be fully ourselves. My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply curious. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I work to understand the whole person—the experiences, relationships, and patterns that have shaped you—and help you move toward greater self-understanding, resilience, and connection.

Living with Type 1 Diabetes has profoundly shaped both my life and my work as a therapist. I understand firsthand that chronic illness affects far more than physical health—it can influence identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, grief, and the constant emotional work of adapting to uncertainty. This lived experience allows me to bring a unique perspective and deep empathy when supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families living with diabetes or other chronic health conditions.

My work draws from attachment-based, somatic, and trauma-informed approaches, including EMDR, while always adapting therapy to each person’s unique needs. Whether we’re exploring the impact of past experiences, learning to regulate an overwhelmed nervous system, strengthening relationships, or navigating the challenges of everyday life, I aim to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, supported, and empowered to move forward.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years working in healthcare and medical education, experiences that continue to shape my understanding of the complex intersections between physical health, emotional well-being, caregiving, and healthcare systems.

Outside of therapy, you’ll often find me spending time with my family, tending my garden, enjoying nature, or getting lost in a good book. These moments remind me of the importance of slowing down, staying connected, and finding meaning in the everyday—values I bring into my work with clients.

If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you with compassion, curiosity, and respect for your unique story, I’d be honoured to be part of your journey.
