We can’t pass up a great opportunity to share a bit about our team!

Steph has been with HC&T for almost 2 years now, working with children, teen and adults! As a therapist with ADHD she is unique in offering a special insight to you and what you may need in your therapy journey (and we promise her lounge sets always help you feel comfy and safe)

Lindsey started out as a student in 2022 and quickly won over our hearts! She is warm, welcoming and loves using Parts Work (or IFS) and Polyvagal approaches with her clients! Always showing up accessorized and with a cozy drink, she’s bound to win your heart too

Corrie is our resident entrepreneur, keeping busy writing children’s mental health books but always prioritizing her clients! Using EMDR, couples therapy and play therapy interventions she is a force to be reckoned with that always has a smile on her face but usually skipping the shoes and opting for socks only instead

Myck joined the team 4 years ago with a passion to help make positive change! Currently pouring her energy into finishing a play therapy certification, she truly cares about the “why” behind her work and her clients. She’s radically honest - sometimes served with a side of sass - but always authentically herself and kind.

Kathleen is the Health Counselling and Therapy team founder and the reason we’re all here together! Despite being the team captain and busy helping everyone stay on track, Kathleen still makes time for clients of her own, dedicating herself to helping them heal, grow and feel better

Happy Black History Month! Books are such a great way to connect and learn with the little people in our lives, open their minds to new questions and ideas. And like Myckayla mentioned, this information is available all year round!

When we feel anxious, the mind often becomes absorbed in thoughts about what might go wrong. These thoughts keep the brain’s alarm system active, even in the absence of immediate danger.

Sensory check-ins work by intentionally directing attention to what the body is experiencing right now. Noticing sights, sounds, physical sensations, smells, and tastes engages attention systems in the brain that are responsible for awareness and regulation.

As attention shifts toward concrete sensory information, there is less mental space available for anxious thought loops. This helps the nervous system update its sense of safety in the present moment, which can gradually reduce physiological arousal and support a return to calm.

Are you interested in being a research participant and receiving compensation?

A Western University research team is looking for couples where at least one member is experiencing depressive symptoms, the couple has been together for at least 6 months and currently live together, and neither partner is pregnant nor has given birth in the last 12-months. This study is open to couples of any gender or sexual orientation.

Your participation will be entirely online, involving a baseline survey + 14 short daily surveys + 3- and 6-month follow-ups.

Rest is a core part of nervous system regulation!

When we slow down, we give the nervous system a chance to shift out of survival mode and back into a state of safety. This is where repair, digestion, emotional processing, and clarity happen.

Rest doesn’t have to be perfect or productive. It can look like lying down, reducing stimulation, breathing slowly, or simply pausing without input.

If rest feels uncomfortable or brings up guilt, that’s often a sign your nervous system has been under prolonged stress — not that you’re doing anything wrong.

Gentle, consistent rest helps teach the body that it is safe to slow down.

The start to this week feeling a little harder than most? Today is commonly known as Blue Monday, the third Monday of the New Year which tends to be a very hard day for many people

Why does this phenomenon happen? Post holiday come down, struggling with resolutions and relentless cold weather can all be contributing factors to the slowest Monday of the year

Some of our tricks to getting through today include

1. Keep expectations low - take it easy today, just making it out of bed is a win in our books

2. Connect with someone you love - even if it’s just a 2 minute phone call, feeling connected with someone can make a huge difference to your mood

3. Get to bed early - sleep is a major factor in combatting depressive symptoms

4. Treat yourself - today is the day to splurge on lunch, that extra coffee or dinner so you don’t have to worry about the cooking and clean up

5. Movement - a gentle stretch after work, taking the stairs, or hitting the gym can all be incredibly beneficial in boosting endorphins and feel good chemicals in the brain and body!

Hello 2026 ✨

We are starting our year off with a little social media disconnect, letting us ease into this year gently. We will see you later this month!

12/31/2025

Well it’s New Year’s Eve and the question everyone has on their mind might be nagging away at you: what resolution will you set this year?

Hear us out, resolutions are great for some and can be incredible motivators, but they can also come with a lot of pressure to maintain consistency throughout the year or even just to February 1.

We invite you this NYE to focus on what you can do to better yourself this year, instead of a vague resolution to “be a kinder person”. Does that mean volunteer once a month at a local charity? Is it buying coffee every few weeks for the car behind you in the drive thru? Be specific with your goals this year and see what December 2026 has in store for you!

Happy New Years, stay safe, and may 2026 show up for you in all the ways you need it to 💙✨

What are you manifesting to take into your 2026?

Apathy isn’t laziness or “not caring.” It’s often the nervous system hitting the mute button after too much stress, pressure, or emotional overload. When feelings get loud, the brain sometimes says, “Okay, everyone take five.” ⏱️

During the holidays—when joy is scheduled, gratitude is mandatory, and cheer is aggressively sparkly—apathy can show up like:

“I know I should feel festive… but emotionally I’m on airplane mode.” ✈️😐

Not broken. Not ungrateful. Just tired.
Sometimes the most self-compassionate move is letting yourself feel neutral, sip something warm, and remember: emotions come back when they’re ready. 🎁✨
