Carly Fex
M.A., Registered Psychotherapist (She/Her)
Hi, I’m Carly
I work as a registered psychotherapist in Ontario. I received my Masters in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, and hold a Bachelors of Arts in Sexuality, Marriage and Family from the University of Waterloo. Through these programs, I have had the pleasure of working with diverse populations and found my passion for supporting clients.
Seeking support when things feel challenging is a difficult step. In my role as a psychotherapist, I look to provide a comfortable, safe and judgment free environment to support clients in their therapeutic journey. Through my many years of service, I have had the privilege of journeying with clients through some of their most challenging of circumstances. Supporting clients in reaching their goals, and forging their own way forward is an important part of my practice. I take a client centered approach to my work, where clients take the lead in discussing relevant and important topics to them.

Victoria Trotta
M.A., Registered Psychotherapist
My name is Victoria and I am a registered psychotherapist in Ontario. I received my Masters in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, and hold a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology from Wilfrid Laurier University.
Talking about our experiences and feelings can be difficult. I will create a safe space where you feel comfortable expressing your true self without judgement. Together we will build on your strengths and help you apply these to foster a newfound confidence. I enjoy utilizing a client centered approach and want to ensure we explore what you may need that day while also achieving your goals.
When working with clients, our time together will be individualized to your wants and needs. I pull from a variety of modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused-CBT, Narrative therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Solution Focused Therapy.
I enjoy supporting youth, adults and couples through their therapeutic journey. I believe it’s never too late to build your toolbox to cope with life’s everyday struggles. Genuine connections with my clients are important and I continue to make this part of our time together.

Elizabeth Eckerdt
Registered Psychotherapist (Quaifying)
I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in Ontario and am currently completing my master’s degree in counselling psychology (MACP) at Yorkville University. Prior to my pursuit of psychotherapy, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience from Brock University and following this, I had the honour of serving my community as a paramedic for 18 years.
I have learned through my life and career experiences the value of compassionate and non-judgemental support in navigating life’s struggles. We all need a helping hand sometimes, and I offer a safe space where we can work together, identify your strengths and skills, and discover your best path to healing, personal growth, and empowerment. We also sometimes just need someone who is simply willing to listen with an empathetic ear. Regardless of your struggle, I will listen to you, guide you, and walk alongside you on your journey.
I take a holistic view of mental wellbeing and follow a person-centered, strengths-based, integrated approach. I believe that every person’s struggles are unique, so I draw from several models including cognitive behavioural therapy, psychodynamic theory, solution focused therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions to ensure that our approach is the most comfortable and effective fit for you.

I have worked with children, youth, and families for several years and have experience working with people of all abilities.

Helping individuals and families find a sense of balanced wellbeing is my goal, recognizing that every individual is doing the best they can with the resources they have.
Due to my background, I approach counselling through a holistic lens, considering the biological, psychological, and social factors that influence our mental well-being. I utilized CBT-based approaches with integration of mindfulness, trauma-informed and art therapy methodologies, tailoring my practice to best meet the needs of my clients. I strive to create an open environment of acceptance where all are welcome.
I look forward to creating a space for growth together where we can work to meet your unique goals, whatever they may be.
