Welcome,
I am Andrew Simmons, am dedicated and compassionate with a strong desire to make a positive impact on individuals and communities. I have a deep understanding of the importance of holistic well-being. I am committed to providing empathetic and culturally sensitive therapy sessions and I ally with the LGBTQIA2S+ community.
I have experience working alongside people who are experiencing mental health, chronic health conditions, end-of-life, grief and loss, anxiety, and depression. I have also worked alongside Indigenous and other BIPOC individuals. My practice is grounded in social justice and equity.
With a warm and approachable demeanour, I am dedicated to creating a safe space where clients can express themselves and work towards their personal goals. I work to listen to your stories and concerns, tailoring each session to suit your unique background and circumstances.
I share a genuine passion for promoting mental health and fostering meaningful connections. I will hold space for you with an open mind and a willingness to learn, continuously seeking opportunities to enhance your wellness. I am dedicated to empowering individuals on their paths to well-being.
Personally, I enjoy gardening, being in nature, and sharing time with my two beautiful dogs.

Hi, my name is Sunny Olson, I am a Registered Social Worker with over 10 years of experience working in front-line mental health and substance use services. I currently work in private practice and with Forensic Psychiatric Services.
My approach is individualized and tailored to each individual’s unique strengths, challenges, and goals. Using evidence-based strategies and interventions, I offer trauma-informed and anti-oppressive care. I enjoy working with people who live life outside the box and as an ally myself I work alongside the LGBTQIA2S+ community.
I have spent the last 10 years working with individuals who experience, mental health and addiction concerns. I also have worked alongside individuals who are navigating complex systems of care, including the Ministry of Social Development (MSD), and the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD).
Additionally, I have specialized experience in working alongside young and expecting mothers, and with youth and adults who have concerns with mental health and substance use challenges.
On a personal note, I am a tattoo collector and advocate for youth. I am a mother of four who continues to inspire me daily.
