Lorraine is wonderful; easy to talk to, very supportive and knowledgeable. The time we spent together had a positive impact on my life. I’ve since recommended her to several friends knowing they’ll be well cared for.

Lorraine is a great councillor. She has helped our family through some major life changes and is always available for quick check-ins too. I am very happy I found her. Highly recommend!

Sara Hughes

Been with Lorraine for 5 years and she continues to be amazing support and insight. Very understanding and supportive of polyamory also.

Lee Down

Lorraine is a very caring counselor. Following a tragic accident and life changing illness, I had to come to terms with a new way of being in the world that didn't make me very happy. With Lorraine's help and listening ear, I've reached a place of peace. I know any time I find myself in a difficult spot with life, I can call upon her for a session and I'll get the support I need.

Lorraine is a fantastic counsellor. I can not say enough good things about her. I have seen her off and on for years and she has really helped me through some dark times. She has really helped me live my "best life".

Raven Spirit

I would recommend Lorraine to anyone I know. She was caring, knowledgeable in her work, offered offsite sessions if I needed while I transitioned with a move. I got through some of the darkest times and she was there for me unconditionally. Thanks Lorraine

Kendra Johnston

I was a client of Lorraine's for many years. She was patient, kind, and made me feel incredibly comfortable and safe. Through our work, she provided me with amazing tools to conquer my challenges. I often refer clients to her and couldn't be more pleased with her services.

I've been going to Lorraine for several years to deal with anxiety and depression. Out of all the professional I saw, she was the most understanding and I'm so greatful I was able to find her. I would recommend her fully as I know my friend's and family are in safe hands.

Lorraine is incredibly kind and highly skilled. I've been to so many counsellors and only three have actually helped, and she's one of them. She has such great empathy and I can hear her heart break as I tell her my struggles through the tears. I think at the end of the day, that's what drives her to help me with such fervour. She's also incredibly encouraging, and knows exactly when I need to emboldened and reassured, and when I need silence to process. Lorraine's help with the EMDR therapy has done wonders for my anxiety and depression after being so constantly and consistently traumatized in my childhood. I tried Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, but it helped only temporarily. Lorraine has helped me permanently deal with much of my anxiety and depression (there's still a ways to go, naturally). At this point, I actually feel like I'm living my life instead of being a victim watching my life go by on the sidelines while being paralyzed by fear like I used to be. When I talk to her about my issues, she just gets it. I don't have to spend so much time with exposition. Her office is also very comfortable and inviting. I like it a lot. I highly recommend her to anyone suffering from anxiety and/or depression.

Lorraine is a beautiful soul. She cares deeply. She is gentle and compassionate, and you truly feel seen in her presence. She has a wealth of understanding and experience with different therapy modalities and she is intuitive in seeing where you’re at and offering just the right support - whether it’s holding space, giving much needed compassion and acceptance to the wounded parts of you, or nudging you to go deeper. I always felt safe and grounded in my sessions with Lorraine and I’m ever-grateful for how she helped me unravel deep wounds and truly transform my life.

Nik Mac

I was a client of Lorraine's for years, along with my son. She is fantastic! She consistently went above and beyond for my family, which included even coming to my home for our sessions. Professional, personable, and passionate about what she does. I have, and will continue to, highly recommend her. Thank you Lorraine for all that you do!

Lorraine is a very caring and empathetic person. No two people's lives are the same and she takes special care to learn about yours. Several times over the years I have found myself needing her guidance and sometimes it was just her listening to me while I sounded out my own solutions. There is no greater person for you to have in your corner, than Lorraine.

Kelly Mostat

I started seeing Lorraine about 4 months ago. She is a kind and gentle soul. She listens and offers support and advice with empathy. She is definitely one of the best counselors I've seen. The location is great too!

Shaan P

Lorraine is a wonderful, compassionate and empathetic counsellor! Every session I had with her I felt I was heard. She listens to what you have to say and asks the right questions. Lorraine is client-centred and extremely professional. I have never felt rushed through a session and I have become much more resilient in my life after receiving therapy from Lorraine. If you are looking for someone to support you who has a non-judgmental approach in their practice, go see her! Thank you Lorraine!

Douglas Koch

I have been working with Lorraine for almost nine years. She is a compassionate and thoughtful counsellor who is willing to think out of the box when helping people cope and deal with mental illness. Her personal approach helps you discover options and techniques that mental health professionals cannot or will not consider.

Catherine James

This woman doesn’t care about her patients. Pretty sure she recorded the sessions without my knowledge. She just cares about money. Stops sessions to ask for her payment and has left me with no professional tools etc. Found a new counsellor and it’s clear how she never intended assist with my needs. I have since heard many stories similar to mine.

Parm Nizher

Lorraine is a great counsellor who is well trained, skilled, experienced, empathic and kind. She is very skilled in EMDR and this has helped me heal from some longstanding trauma. I feel the benefit of our work together even 3 years later. I highly recommend Lorraine as a counsellor.

Caroline vanWyngaarden

Lorraine was so patient with me. I always found a new path or way of thinking with her. I love how knowledgeable she is and to be honest, how nerdy she is as well. You gotta love a therapist who gets excited about the work they do.

Amneet Khunkhun

Lorraine is an amazing counsellor. I've seen her for a good 2+ years. She is an emphathic and compassionate individual. She cares for her clients. You will never feel rushed through your sessions. She uses different modalities and she finds the ones that best suits your needs. She has a wealth of knowledge. I always leave my session feeling positive with what we accomplished in that session.

Max Pyvovarov

Lorraine helped me to discover my sensitivity. This is one of biggest discoveries in my life. I came for counseling and got much more, I've got a profound knowledge of myself. This knowledge and realization helps me tremendously now in my daily life, life is better!
