About our team

Therapy should feel comfortable and safe for optimal progress to take place. That’s why as a client, you can always expect patience, kindness, respect, and non-judgmental support as we work together to heal relationship pain. During couples therapy, this means we treat you as equals, and we are respectful of each of your experiences in your relationship. We work to support you as individuals and as a couple to ensure that you are both heard, seen, and supported while we work to improve your relationship. As experienced therapists, we also provide grounded and authentic feedback when required.

As your therapist, our work begins before our first appointment. Before booking with one of our team, we discuss your goals for therapy and ask you and your partner (for couples therapy) to complete a confidential questionnaire to help your therapist understand both of your perspectives ahead of time. Doing this work beforehand saves you time and money, as once we assess your answers, we can begin work as soon as your first session begins.

We have experience counselling clients from the entire spectrum of sexual preferences, and from multi-ethnic backgrounds. we respect, welcome, and celebrate the diversity of our clients, and work hard to ensure you feel safe, understood, and accepted during our sessions.

As a result, our clients stay with us throughout their challenges and return to us if anything arises later in life. This loyalty comes from their trust that we have the tools and knowledge to help them solve any problem that comes up in their relationships. Typically, our patients who relocate choose to continue to work with us via online virtual platforms. We deeply treasure the relationships that we have built with our clients over the years and look forward to many more.

JILLIAN PEDRICK, Lead Clinician and Founder

As a therapist, parent, and spouse, I understand how challenging relationships can be and how difficult it can be to break old unproductive patterns of relating. In my early life, I was unable to connect beyond the surface level with my partners due to limitations and fears within myself. Fortunately, I worked determinedly to forge a deeper, more conscious connection with myself, which has helped me to open up to others and forge warm, connective, joyful and lasting relationships. As a result, I am not only a much better and more available partner; I am also a warmer and more dynamic, engaged parent, therapist, and friend.

My personal and professional experience with parenting, co-parenting, mediation, multi-cultural problem solving, and my sexuality training help me relate with my clients and give meaningful guidance to help them solve problems. I am a highly-trained relationship specialist who has extensive training that includes the work of John Gottman, Esther Perel, Sue Johnson, the Bader Pearson Developmental Model, Imago, Attachment Mastery with Diane Poole Heller, Somatic Experiencing, The Satir Institute, The Centre for Relational Intimacy and Advanced Sexuality Training at the University of Guelph.

I have a warm, connective, engaging yet practical approach to relationship work. I focus on you leaving sessions with a more robust sense of yourself and how to connect with others in a satisfying and productive way. I use an integrative approach to assist my clients with relationships, codependency, communication, anxiety, avoidance, conflict resolution, self-esteem and confidence in their ability to create lasting robust and nourishing relationships throughout their lives.
