We are so delighted to welcome .with.steph to the Attached Team!

When you meet Steph, you get the sense that she has lived many lives. And indeed she has. Her journey has included over a decade in high-performance leadership, time spent living abroad, a move to a remote BC island, and walking through cancer… twice. Chapters that ask something of a person, and leave wisdom behind.

She’s now in a chapter that feels especially rich and meaningful: walking alongside others as a therapist. Steph brings a presence that is warm, honest, gently direct, and deeply steady. All with the occasional moment of quiet profundity that makes you pause and say, "oh,yes".

At the heart of her work is a simple but powerful belief: we’re not meant to do life alone, and healing happens best in good company.

We're just so thrilled to have another fellow couples therapist on the team!

Steph works with couples and individuals, including:

✨ Couples moving through big life shifts, transitions, or “how did we get here?” moments

✨ Relationships navigating conflict, betrayal, trust, or disconnection

✨ Communication challenges or couples wanting to strengthen what they already have

✨ Individuals feeling stuck, overwhelmed, in transition, or longing to reconnect with themselves

We’re so grateful to have Steph’s depth, warmth, and calm wisdom woven into our team and we have a feeling many of you will be too.

If you’re curious about beginning a chapter with Steph, booking is open through the link in our bio, or reach out to learn more.

Welcome, Steph. We’re so happy this chapter includes us ❤️

Trying science-backed relationship skills as a couples therapist… featuring my very patient partner as today’s research assistant 😂
Spoiler: none of these are perfect, but wow do small shifts go a long way.

Soft start-up — 6/10
Came in calm, gentle, warm. Partner stared at me suspiciously like I was a Stepford wife
…but he listened, so we’re calling it a win.

Turning toward bids for connection — 10/10
Paused my phone, tuned in, and engaged with him about something I thought was boring.Turns out it mattered to him, and the conversation got deeper, sweeter, better.

Avoiding criticism — 8/10
Almost made a comment about the dishes (classic 🙋‍♀️) but redirected. It felt weird at first, then I forgot what I was bothered about and we both had a nicer night. Magic.

Inviting playfulness + spontaneity — 10/10
Jumped on his back out of nowhere and got a full piggy-back ride like a joyful child.
Peak connection. No notes 🥹🤣

Relationships don’t usually change in grand gestures. It’s often the tiny rewires, the turning toward, the choosing kindness, the shared laugh.

If you try any of these with your person, I want to hear how it goes!

Sometimes your therapist is a trained professional…and sometimes your golden retriever Rosie who believes in you too loudly, your selectively-loving cat Ned who accepts only vetted clients, your emotionally-attuned cat Mortimer, a tiny Betta named Little Rainbow (chaotic or depressed depending on the day), a potato-sized pooch named Eddie doing silent couch-based therapy, or a wild moose(ilini) who visits and stares into your soul.

This series is probably a little unhinged,
but honestly?

There’s something healing about imagining emotional support in unlikely forms.

Fur, fins, hooves, or pure potato energy. Sometimes comfort looks different than we expect.

Thanks for coming to therapy with my fictional clinicians 🐾🫎🐟🥔🌈

10/10 would recommend booking a sesh with them.

Canadian winter is here and so is my seasonal mental health game plan.

Because yes, we’re resilient and hardy, but also… it’s dark at 4:15pm and I refuse to pretend that doesn’t affect my soul 😂

Here are the small rituals keeping me well this season:

•Cuddling my cats like it’s a full-time job (they don’t mind).

•Improving one tiny corner of my space every day. More beautiful, more cozy, or more functional

•Finding whimsy in the mundane (snowflakes on windows, weird cloud shapes, the way my coffee steam curls, little play scenes my daughter drama up).

• Scheduling regular girls’ nights because connection is medicine. And a flirty little bevvie and a sore belly from laughing never hurt anyone.

•Indulging in simple delights & micro-joys: fresh sheets, a fancy warm beverage, the ambiance of a candle at night, something to look forward to every. single. day.

Winter can be tough on mental health and we don’t have to “power through.”

We get to soften into it, create warmth, and build little pockets of joy.

If the world feels too much, maybe it's asking you to slow down.

Between work, motherhood, relationships, and the constant pull to “do better,” you’ve been living in survival mode for far too long. You notice what others miss.You feel things deeply.You get overstimulated and then overthink why. You aren't too much. You don’t need to toughen up. You need space to breathe.

Therapy isn’t about fixing you, it’s about creating space to breathe again, to regulate, to find your footing in the middle of it all. Let’s make your sensitivity your superpower.

Because you deserve to feel safe in your own nervous system.

Therapist brain: “Set boundaries, regulate your nervous system, practice self-compassion.”

Why do some relationships feel easy and natural while others feel like a constant struggle?

The truth is it’s not about luck. Strong relationships grow from small, consistent patterns. It’s about noticing your own emotions and your partner’s, responding instead of reacting, and understanding each other even when things aren’t perfect.

Meet Sally, our team's newest therapist—and she’s about to bring a whole new level of energy and insight to your journey this fall.

Not only is she incredibly quick-witted and deeply insightful, but she’s also got that rare ability to take a joke allllllllllll the way in the quietest way (and you might just find yourself laughing more than you expected). When she's not helping you navigate the ups and downs of life, she’s probably taking a well-deserved catnap or enjoying the chaos of having a million siblings.

Sally's the perfect mix of old soul wisdom and modern-day humor—ready to guide you with a grounded, thoughtful approach that’ll have you feeling seen and heard. And if you’ve been hoping for a little extra time with her, you’re in luck! She’s just opened up a new day in her schedule this fall, and we can’t wait for you to connect with her.

Dear Attached Counselling Co. Community,

It’s with both heartfelt gratitude and excitement that I share some news about Chantai, a beloved member of our team. After three wonderful years at Attached Counselling Co., Chantai will be leaving to open her own private practice — a step that feels so aligned with her growth and vision as a therapist.

While we’ll miss having her as part of our daily work family, I couldn’t be more proud of her. Working alongside Chantai has been a true privilege — she brings deep care, integrity, and presence to her work, and I’ve seen firsthand how much she’s meant to the clients she supports. It has truly been an honour to be in relationship with Chantai, and we are excited to continue expanding our relationship as she ventures into her next chapter.

The wonderful news is that Chantai will be continuing her work with her current clients in her new practice. Stay tuned for more details from

If you have any questions or need support in any way during this transition, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here for you.

Please join me in celebrating Chantai as she takes this exciting next step — I know she’ll continue to do amazing work, and I’m so grateful for the time we’ve shared here.

MEET Chantai

Chantai is the type of person that you could picture having a song play in the background when they enter a room. You know? Probably something dreamy and folksy like Bon Iver or Aurora 🤣

When Chantai came to join the team, it was a fortunate moment and we count our blessings everyday for her being with us. Because when Chantai is with you, she's really WITH you. She eminates love, patience, humility and realness. Her presence is deeply felt and received.

The cherry on top, is that Chantai is an incredibly silly and goofy gal. She loves a good laugh and conversation topics with her can span from deep existential topics to slapstick humour in the blink of an eye.

I could imagine as a client of Chantai's feeling her innate goodness, wisdom and sense of justice as a powerful thing to witness and be influenced by.

We're grateful to know, love and work alongside Chantai ❤️

MEET SALLY

Joining our close knit team can't be an easy transition; however the day came to our consult meeting, it felt like she had always been there.

Sally is our contemplative, curious, calm therapist. She joins us as a fellow 'bittersweet'- someone who holds the capacity to embrace the infinite sorrow that exists in the world alongside the boundless joy we are capable of feeling. Big stuff, right? 😜

Her presence is inherently grounding. From an attachment standpoint, I can imagine it would be incredibly healing to have Sally with you as you explore your attachment wounds, past hurts, fears and longings.

If you're someone who has been told by others that you're very self aware, or even by other therapists that you've got it "figured out"- then I suspect Sally is your gal. Sally is passionate about helping you move beyond "talking about" to "sensing" and coming home to the wisdom and goodness in your body.

Feeling ready to 'go there'?, you can schedule a consult or session with Sally by clicking the link in our bio.
