Meet the Team

Nicole Boon, RP 

Clinical Director, Registered Psychotherapist

Hi, I’m Nicole (she/her).

I feel truly privileged to walk alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges and reconnect with your own strength and resilience. I believe therapy is a collaborative process—one where emotional awareness and deeper understanding create space for meaningful and lasting change.

My clinical approach is grounded in Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment theory, guided by trauma-sensitive and client-centered principles. Together, we’ll gently explore difficult emotions and patterns, building self-compassion, resilience, and more authentic connections—with yourself and with others.

I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) from Yorkville University. Before becoming a therapist, I spent nearly ten years in education. That experience deepened my respect for the courage it takes to face stress, burnout, and major life transitions, and it continues to inform my compassionate, grounded approach.

I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, low self-worth, and significant life changes. I also support couples in identifying and shifting the patterns that leave them feeling stuck, helping them build healthier, more secure connections. I tailor evidence-based approaches to your unique needs and pace, offering a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space where you can show up fully as yourself.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or ready to rediscover your authentic self, I’m here to support your growth and healing.

Outside of my work, I enjoy pottery, reading, cooking, and hiking with my dog—practices that help me stay grounded, creative, and inspired.

Natalie Bender, RP(Q)

Hi, I'm Natalie Bender, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) based in Ontario.I believe that therapy should be a collaborative, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore challenges, build insight, and create meaningful change in your life.

I work with adolescents and adults experiencing concerns such as:

• Anxiety and stress
• Depression and low mood
• Self-esteem and self-worth challenges
• Relationship and attachment concerns
• Life transitions and adjustment difficulties
• Trauma and the lasting impacts of difficult life experiences
• Emotional regulation difficulties
• Perfectionism and people-pleasing patterns
• Burnout and workplace stress
• Body image concerns and disordered eating
• Phobias and avoidance behaviours
• Pornography use concerns
• Sexuality, intimacy, and sexual functioning concerns

My approach is warm, compassionate, and tailored to the unique needs of each individual. Drawing from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and attachment-focused and trauma-informed approaches, I aim to help clients better understand themselves, develop effective coping strategies, and move toward a life that feels more aligned with their values.

Whether you're navigating a specific challenge or simply looking to understand yourself more deeply, I strive to create a therapeutic environment where you feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout the process.
