Matthew Brown (he/him) Registered Social Worker

I approach therapy with the belief that everyone deserves a space where they feel understood, supported, and safe to explore what matters most to them. We all experience periods of pain, uncertainty, and disconnection, and my role is to walk alongside you with care and steadiness as you navigate those moments.

Drawing from a range of trauma-informed, evidence-based, and expressive therapies, I tailor my approach to meet each person’s unique needs. Whether we are working through traumatic experiences, strengthening family relationships, supporting a child’s emotional development, or building healthier patterns within couples, I strive to create an environment of grounding, compassion, and emotional safety.

My work with children often integrates play and sand tray therapy, offering developmentally attuned ways for young clients to express themselves and process difficult experiences. With individuals and families of all ages, I emphasize collaboration, empowerment, and a deep respect for each person’s strengths, resilience, and lived story. In every session, my intention is to help you feel seen and supported as you move toward greater clarity, connection, and wellbeing.

With over 35 years of experience providing counselling and clinical mental health support, I bring a grounded, compassionate presence to my work with individuals navigating life’s most difficult challenges.

As a registered psychotherapist, I have a specialized focus in complex trauma and practice from a holistic mind-body therapeutic approach that integrates both evidence-based clinical methods and an understanding of the profound connection between emotional and physical wellness.

I support clients in moving beyond traumatic and emotionally painful experiences with calm, ease, and compassion. At the heart of my practice is a deep commitment to emotional safety, non-judgment, validation, and respect. Therapy goals are developed collaboratively, always tailored to the unique needs and strengths of each individual.

I provide support for a wide range of concerns, including: • Relationship issues and family conflict • Abuse, violence, and victimization • Divorce, child-parent challenges, and aging-related concerns • Grief, bereavement, and tragic or chronic loss • Suicide post-intervention and family support • Substance use and addictions • Identity, gender, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders, 2SLGBTQQIA+ affirming support.

In each session, you can expect a safe space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at a pace that feels right for you. My aim is to help you reclaim emotional strength, cultivate resilience, and move toward greater emotional growth, confidence, and overall wellness.

Krista Sickinger (she/her) Registered Psychotherapist

With a deeply client-centered and integrative approach to psychotherapy, I bring a calm, supportive presence to the therapeutic relationship. I meet each client exactly where they are, honouring their lived experiences and offering a safe, validating space to explore challenges with compassion and clarity. My work is shaped by a strong foundation in behavioural science, clinical psychology, and relational, evidence-based therapeutic practices.

I specialize in supporting neurodivergent individuals, drawing on my background as a Behaviour Analyst to bring insight, structure, and sensitivity to the therapeutic process. Whether navigating anxiety, emotional regulation, trauma, or the complexities of everyday life, I work collaboratively with clients to identify strengths, build resilience, and move toward meaningful and sustainable change.

My personal passion for yoga and mindfulness has deeply informed my understanding of the connection between emotional energy, embodiment, and wellbeing. These perspectives naturally weave into my work, helping clients cultivate greater awareness, balance, and inner steadiness.

Outside of my clinical work, I live in Cobourg with my husband, our dog Frank, and our cat Sigmund. I find joy in traveling, crocheting, and spending time outdoors—practices that nurture my own sense of grounding and connection.

Hello! My name is Vivian Simone (they/she). I am a Registered Psychotherapist.

I offer a non-judgmental, relational approach to psychotherapy. Specialties include strengthening emotional regulation, navigating family dynamics, depth work, supporting transitions, and healing from trauma. I am a queer therapist, available to work with individuals and couples from most walks of life, identities, and neurodiversities. I enjoy working with people who have done therapy before and are curious to try again or those who are brand new and ready to look deeply at themselves and their relationships. I also really enjoy providing psychotherapy to other therapists and people who are passionate about mental and emotional health.

Together, we can tend to the impact of past events and envision your hopes for the future, all while connecting with what you experience now. When you come to sessions and share your inner world with me, I will hold it with curiosity and care. I understand how challenging it can be to seek support and build trust with someone new. I also know the profound potential for healing and growth that can come from these connections. Whatever you bring in, I will meet you there.

I take a trauma-informed, culturally-sensitive approach, integrating mindfulness, acceptance, and compassion as foundations for growth. Together, we work to build resilience, deepen self-awareness, and move to live more fully in line with what matters to you.  Before beginning my training as a therapist, I served for over 15 years in the military. My experiences taught me a great deal about stress, resilience, and the power of community. It also deepened my understanding of how culture shapes our experiences and relationships. My desire to contribute to world peace remains, but I’ve come to believe that lasting peace comes from within.   Reaching out for support can be one of the hardest and most meaningful steps you can take. My role is to offer a collaborative and nonjudgmental space where you can explore difficult experiences, make sense of your story, and connect with your innate capacity for growth and change. I would be honoured to walk alongside you on your journey.
