Sarah Allen has extensive experience supporting teens and individuals in their 20s, and she welcomes clients of all ages. She is especially passionate about working with children, youth, and young adults, and is open to working with couples as her practice continues to grow.

Sarah provides neurodivergent-affirming therapy and creates a safe, inclusive space for individuals who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+. In her work with children, she views play as their natural language—a powerful way to express and make sense of their world. She honours this process by fostering a supportive and creative environment where children feel understood.

Her approach is client-centred and integrative, drawing from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, narrative therapy, psychodynamic therapy, attachment-based practices, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. She takes a holistic view of well-being, considering the connections between mind, body, and—when relevant—spiritual or religious aspects of identity.

In sessions, Sarah gently guides clients in exploring early memories to better understand current patterns, gain insight, and co-create a healing life narrative. She works with a range of concerns, including grief and loss, eating disorders, suicidal ideation, self-harm, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), and complex trauma. Sarah places a strong emphasis on emotional exploration, helping clients connect with their feelings and express their internal experiences—whether through language, art, play, music, or other meaningful forms of expression.

Joy has been in the social services and counselling field for over five years. She has recently become a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and enjoys seeing clients of all ages 8 and up. With children (and with adults that find it of interest), Joy loves to incorporate creative and expressive art into therapy, using various art mediums, toys and sand play to facilitate a client’s self-expression. With adults, Joy’s warm and compassionate approach provides a safe and therapeutic environment for a client’s exploration and laying out of the difficulties they face and hope to find solutions for and/or cope with.

Joy Writes “Let me tell you about Joy. As lovely as my name is, it can also be a difficult one to live up to. Because, if joy (as I understand it anyway), is contentment – like, the down-to-your-very-core knowing ‘it is well with my soul’ - no matter what’s happening in my past or present circumstances - then yeah, … even my name mocks me at times. Life is hard – and it’s not easy to feel ‘joyful’ when you’re in the throes of the storms and stuff of regular life. Sometimes just surviving is a major accomplishment let alone feeling any sense of happiness or contentment. None of us can control all the variables of life or be totally prepared for the things we face. But we can explore where the cracks are forming in the foundation of our well-being– where the roots of ourselves are dry and neglected – and that - can be tended to. It would be an honour to sit with you and hear your story. We can sort through the pieces together, at your pace, and reassemble them to best represent what your new ‘joy’ could look like now (despite your circumstance, struggle, or loss). Whatever you are wrestling with, reaching out and talking about it is a really healthy step – not keeping your fears, anger, pain, or needs secret any longer is a strong step closer to finding the treasure of your own deep down in your soul, contentment.”

Therapy is more than treatment — it’s a relationship that can foster clarity, growth, and deep, life-giving healing. I believe that healing often begins in seasons of upheaval, when we feel most unsure, overwhelmed, or disconnected. If you’re in that space, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to walk through it alone.

As a trauma-informed, integrative therapist, I bring experience and training to support the deeply human need to seek, unravel, question, and grow. My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, IFS, EFT, and SFBT — all woven together to help you explore the inner parts that shape your thoughts, emotions, and relationships.

I offer compassionate, affirming care — especially for those navigating:

Gender identity, gender dysphoria,

All kinds of losses and the complexity of grief

Faith, deconstruction, and spirituality

Attachment wounds

Phone and tech overuse

Anxiety, depression, perfectionism

Substance use and the need for new coping strategies

The unique mental health experiences of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community

Whether you’re looking to reclaim your sense of self, process the past, or rediscover your spiritual path, this is a space where your full humanity is seen and honoured. I hold deep respect for each person’s journey, and I’m here to support you in finding your way forward — with gentleness, honesty, and hope.

If you’re seeking a safe, affirming, and thoughtful space to begin or continue your healing, I’d be honoured to work with you.

My passion for supporting others began with a deep curiosity about life’s most complex moments: grief, illness, disappointment, and everything in between. With over a decade of experience, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals and families as they navigate challenges that often feel isolating, especially for those living with rare diseases or facing a sense of having been dealt a “bad hand.”

I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, including person-centered, Gestalt, Individual Psychology, Reality Therapy, CBT, REBT, Psychoanalytic, Existential Therapy, and Grief Support. I tailor each session to the unique story and needs of the person in front of me. My goal is always to create a space where people feel seen, heard, and safe enough to explore their inner world and begin to heal.

Before stepping fully into the role of a therapist, I spent years as a hospital chaplain and spiritual care provider, supporting people through serious illness, end-of-life concerns, and the spiritual questions that often arise in times of crisis. I’ve also had the opportunity to share my reflections on disappointment as a guest speaker at the University of Waterloo, a subject close to my heart.

I hold a Master of Divinity and a Master of Christian Leadership, with a focus on the midlife crisis, and I’ve studied Clinical Pastoral Education. I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Psychotherapy to deepen my ability to serve others.

At home, I’m a husband to Laura and a father to three wonderful boys, two through adoption. Family life grounds me and continually teaches me about connection, growth, and love.

It’s an honour to be invited into the stories of others. I believe no one should have to walk through life’s hardest moments alone, and I’m here to walk with you.
