Therapy Dog

Hey there, I'm Chia, the cautious adventurer. It takes me a little time to trust new folks, but once I do, I'll happily curl up beside them on the couch for a cozy nap. I'm quite the high jumper, and food is my weakness – I'll eat almost anything! Sometimes, I get a bit anxious about new things, but I'm a smart pup who knows that some new experiences can be scary.

I support individuals navigating anxiety, relationship dynamics, and life transitions – with a big emphasis on the mind-body connection. I’ll soon be starting my EMDR training at the end of the summer and will complete it in the fall of 2025.

Doctoral Candidate, School and Applied Child Psychology

Currently completing my doctoral studies at McGill University, I specialize in conducting psychoeducational assessments to understand how children and adults learn, perceive the world around them, and navigate their emotions. Assessments are tailored to your unique questions and needs. I take a holistic approach to understanding each individual’s strengths, challenges, and how these affect emotional and social wellbeing.

Molly

Therapy Dog

Greetings, I'm Molly! I've been spreading love and joy for 11 wonderful years. My favorite pastime is snuggling up on my clients' laps to get those precious pets. I'm a bit of a foodie too, always throwing my kibble in the air for a fun game. High fives are my specialty, and while I can't quite jump on the couch anymore, I patiently wait for a lift. I do snore, but I'm a good sport about being woken up. I adore giving kisses to everyone, but I'm totally cool if you prefer not to receive them.
