Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and research shows that one of the most important predictors of success in therapy is the quality of the relationship between client and therapist. That’s why we place so much value on building a strong, collaborative connection, because when it feels like a good fit, real progress happens. We start with a 30-minute consultation, so that you can get a feel for our approach and decide if we’re the right match.

Grounded in science, guided by compassion. We're here to help you live lighter.


Is Our Clinic a Match for You?

When painful past experiences still shape how you feel today, we offer a safe, steady space to work through trauma, PTSD, and the lasting effects of childhood adversity, all at your own pace.




Trauma, PTSD & Childhood Adversity

If sleep has become a nightly battle, we use CBT-I (cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia), the leading evidence-based approach, to help you wind down, fall asleep more easily, and feel rested again.



Insomnia

Caught between high standards and stalled starts? We'll help with the cycle of putting things off, struggling to finish, and burning out, and gently break the habits that keep getting in your way.



Perfectionism & Procrastination

If focus, organization, and following through feel like a daily uphill climb, we'll help you understand how ADHD shows up for you and build practical strategies that work with your brain, not against it.



ADHD

Below are some areas that are beyond the scope of what we currently offer:

  • Eating disorders involving severe restriction or frequent purging
  • Recurring self-harm or treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder
  • Experiences of psychosis or delusional thinking
  • Physical aggression or domestic violence
  • Severe substance addiction (drugs or alcohol)
  • Autism Spectrum-related concerns

If you’re navigating any of these, we recommend connecting with a specialist who can offer the most appropriate care. You deserve support that truly fits.

If you find yourself struggling with how you see your body or occasional binge-eating, we’ll explore it with care and compassion.




Body Image & Eating Challenges

We’ll help shift the inner dialogue from “not enough” to “I’m doing okay”, and understand why self-acceptance has been difficult to achieve.



Self-Worth & Confidence

Romantic, family, or work relationships feeling complicated or draining? Let’s unpack it all and build healthier connections.




Relationship Struggles

Whether it’s simmering frustration or sudden outbursts, we help you understand what’s beneath the anger, and how to respond differently.



Managing Anger

If low moods keep cycling back or you feel stuck in a fog, we’ll work together to break the pattern and bring light back in.



Recurring Depression

From panic attacks to OCD, social anxiety, phobias, or that constant “what if?” loop, we’ve got tools that help bring clarity and calm.


Anxiety & Overthinking

Whatever you're carrying, you don't have to carry it alone. Here are just some of the challenges we support:

Meet our Providers

I’m Dr. Michelle Collins. and I founded this clinic because I believe in therapy that’s both warm and grounded in real science. I’m a Clinical and Health Psychologist, with over 20 years of experience helping adults and teens (ages 16+) navigate a broad range of problems, from every day relationship stress and life transitions, to more complex struggles like OCD, panic, PTSD, insomnia, and severe depression. My approach is collaborative. You’re the expert on you, I’m here to guide with tools and insight.

Compassionate Care Backed by Science

Choosing someone to work with can be difficult, especially if it is your first time entering into therapy. We view the first visit as no commitment, but rather a chance for you to see if you are comfortable with us and our approach, and for us to listen to your difficulties and understand your goals for treatment. We begin with a 30-minute Needs Assessment with our Clinic Director, to offer some initial insights, and match you to the best provider for you, based on your preferences, availabilities, and provider areas of expertise. By the end of your first or second visit with your assigned therapist, you can expect them to share a treatment plan with you, and decide if you would like to work together moving forward. If this is of interest to you, the first step is to contact our Clinic and schedule a Needs Assessment.

We’re currently looking to welcome compassionate, Ph.D.-level Psychologists to our team. If you’re passionate about evidence-based care, thrive in a collaborative environment, and want to be part of a modern, supportive practice, we’d love to hear from you.
