Services

Individual Therapy

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is slow down, gather ourselves, and ground into what really matters. Individual therapy is a space just for you, where you can feel supported, understood, and not so alone. Whether you're working through anxiety, burnout, life changes, or simply feeling stuck, we're here to move through it with you, one step at a time.

Couples Therapy

Every relationship moves through ups and downs. Couples therapy offers a space to slow down, tune into each other, and work through the challenges together. Whether you're feeling stuck in old patterns, facing conflict, or simply wanting to reconnect, we're here to support honest conversations, deeper understanding, and stronger connection.

Sex Therapy

Sex and intimacy are deeply personal, yet they can also be sources of stress, shame, or disconnection. Sex therapy offers a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your experiences, whether you’re navigating desire differences, performance anxiety, pain, or challenges in intimacy and connection. Together, we’ll work towards understanding your needs while addressing barriers to guide to back to a fulfilling, liberating, and healthy sex life.

EMDR Therapy

Some experiences can linger, showing up as anxiety, stress, or emotional triggers long after the event has passed. EMDR therapy uses bilateral stimulation, a gentle back-and-forth of eye movements, sounds, or taps, to help the brain and body process these memories so they no longer feel overwhelming. Commonly used for trauma, PTSD, and anxiety, EMDR doesn’t require re-telling every detail. Instead, it supports healing so you can feel lighter, calmer, and more present in your life.

Psychedelic Therapy

EMDR therapy uses bilateral stimulation, a gentle back-and-forth of eye movements, sounds, or taps, to help the brain and body process these memories so they no longer feel overwhelming. Commonly used for trauma, PTSD, and anxiety, EMDR doesn’t require re-telling every detail. Instead, it supports healing so you can feel lighter, calmer, and more present in your life.

Hypnotherapy

Sometimes the patterns we struggle with come from places just beneath our awareness. Hypnotherapy is a gentle, collaborative approach that helps you explore deeper layers of emotion, belief, and memory so you can shift what no longer serves you. It supports deeper healing and can be especially powerful when combined with counselling, helping you build self-awareness, connection, and lasting change.

Words from our clients

I really enjoy my sessions with Robyn, even the hard ones. I always leave feeling better and am really building that connection with myself! I would highly recommend Gather and Ground to anyone!

Taylor P

Finding Alycia and Lily at G&G has changed my life for the best! Alycia has put together an amazing team. I never thought I’d do counseling or be vulnerable enough to share what I was going through with a stranger, but Lily made all of that easy. The amount of knowledge and awareness I’ve gained throughout these past couple months have been a game changer and has been one of the best things that has happened for me.

Kit K

The care that Alycia (Founder of G&G) has put into building this amazing practice truly shows in the quality of her team and the real impact they make with each client. The careful consideration in how each client is treated speaks volumes to their excellence in understanding that a big predictor of positive outcomes in therapy is the connection you have with your therapist.

Jeremy V

Right from our first session Julia made me feel comfortable with the whole process. She has a beautiful way of helping me organize my thoughts and providing me the tools to handle my life in ways I will be forever grateful for. If you’re looking for a therapist I can’t recommend Gather & Ground enough!

Bria B

Taking that huge, scary step to start therapy has truly been life-changing. From the very beginning the process was so easy; booking appointments is super simple, and the video sessions mean I can attend in the comfort of my own home (even in my PJs!). The care I’ve received from Maylene has been nothing short of compassionate, impactful, and evidence-based.

Joy M

Gather & Ground is truly the best. Alycia is personable and such a bright light in my life. I have gone to several different counsellors over the years and this has been the most rewarding experience I've ever had with counselling by far. I would definitely recommend to a friend, in fact, I have already recommended G&G to several friends and they have all had wonderful experiences!

Maddy B

Can't recommend Gather & Ground enough. Over the last 6 months they have helped guide me out of a darkness that I thought would never end. She has put me further in touch with my authentic self and boosted my confidence in the most nourishing way.

Krista S

I recently tried the hypnotherapy with Samira at the beginning of this year. It was amazing, just a wonderful safe experience and I really feel like it allowed me to move past certain limitations I had placed on myself and have been finding myself pursuing things in life that I had previously told myself were not possible for me. Cannot recommend enough!

Ria T

Gather & Ground is a gift. It is truly liberating to be able to discuss and process your thoughts and feelings in a safe and supported space. To release old patterns, to be free from toxic relationships, and to let go of what truly is holding us back from being our best selves. I highly recommend giving yourself the gift of Gather & Ground.

Lisa S

As a first timer to counselling, Alycia has made my counselling process such a positive one, so positive that I would recommend counselling to anyone regardless of their situation! She empowers and encourages while also making me feel seen and heard. A truly life changing experience and I am so beyond grateful for Alycia!

Kristen C

Gather and ground has been a great practice with very helpful and knowledgeable practitioners. Lily has been a joy to work with and is very thoughtful in her approach. Would recommend if you are looking for counselling services!

Samarra B

Maylene at Gather and Ground has been wonderful helping me manage both career stress and my father being diagnosed with cancer. I feel like I have lots of useful tools now!
