"It is my hope that in working together we develop a relationship where you feel strong enough to face life’s challenges, and supported as you move towards your values and goals. I believe that building a connection where individuals feel seen, heard, and supported is one of the most important aspects of starting therapy. I feel that building this connection creates a space that allows the work of therapy to be accomplished – an exploration inwards to establish and work towards the goals of our mental health journey.  I also feel it’s important to acknowledge the skills that have allowed each of us to make it this far. It takes strength and courage to make it to a point where you feel you can reach out, and I want to commend the work that you have already done to get to this point."

In addition to traditional ‘talk therapy,’ Mariah offers clients alternative ways to explore emotions, experiences and self-expression, such as incorporating art-based techniques into the therapeutic work. She is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and is registered with the EMDR International Association; Mariah offers this specialized form of therapy to help clients process and heal trauma somatically.

"I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I tailor my work to meet each client where they are, creating a safe and supportive space where the therapeutic relationship can develop through trust, openness, and collaboration. I strive to help clients better understand themselves, navigate difficult experiences, and feel supported and comfortable throughout their therapeutic journey. My goal is to support clients in exploring their experiences, developing greater self-understanding, and connecting with their most authentic selves."

Kaylie Quinlan

M.Ed., CCC, Registered Psychotherapist

​The majority of my clients would probably describe themselves as "functioning, but not feeling great..." or "mostly all right 'on paper,' but struggling on the inside." Some of the issues I work with the most often include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, stress, anger, body image, self-esteem and procrastination. My associates and I take a "third wave" or holistic approach to therapy, meaning we seek to understand the multiple aspects of who you are and the interplay of the different areas of your life, as opposed to taking a pathologizing approach which attempts to "cure" disorders and "mental illness." Third wave therapy is about fostering well-being, not just targeting symptoms. I think mental wellness is a spectrum on which we all find ourselves at varying places throughout our lives. 

​
My work relies on building a genuine, trusting relationship with my clients. Then we might work to understand your beliefs about yourself and others, explore your personal history and relationship patterns, and develop skills such as mindfulness, self-compassion, and emotional regulation. Therapeutic approaches will depend on your goals and preferences; I often draw from cognitive-behavioural, compassion-focused, emotion-focused, and trauma-informed approaches (including EMDR), mindfulness, and theories of attachment and childhood experiences.​ Most importantly, 
I'll be my authentic self with you: I genuinely care, I don't judge, and I will give it my all.

"As a therapist, I work with clients facing issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, identity exploration, and relationship issues. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and integrative to meet your unique needs and experiences. I often incorporate self-compassion, acceptance, and mindfulness within my work. Because I aim to create a safe space where you feel comfortable, respected, and empowered, I use a trauma-informed, strength-based, and anti-oppressive framework. Through our work together, I hope to support you in coping with life’s obstacles and connecting with your goals, values, and emotional resilience."
