Madelyn Chung, registered psychotherapist, former journalist, community advocate.
Growing up, Madelyn always asked a lot of questions.
Perhaps it was the inquisitive Gemini in her, but she always had an interest in discovering and learning more about the world — and the people — around her.
Her curiosity, along with her love of writing and storytelling, is what led her to a successful career in journalism where she found great joy in interviewing individuals and sharing their stories. she quickly found she had a natural ability to create a safe space for people to open up and reflect deeply on their experiences and the feelings surrounding them.
This, along with an innate desire to provide support to members of the community, is what ultimately led her to pursue a second career in psychotherapy. As a classically trained pianist, madelyn decided to train in music psychotherapy at Wilfrid Laurier University’s Master of Music Therapy program, earning her degree in 2020. She’s worked with a wide range of populations, including children, teens, adults and seniors, in various settings such as palliative care, long-term care, hospice and community support groups.
As a therapist, Madelyn aims to help her clients feel seen and heard and create a safe, non-judgemental environment for them to get curious about their feelings, explore where they come from and identify how they’re impacting their everyday lives.
She takes a unique approach to her practice by incorporating both talk therapy and music into her sessions. Music is a powerful catalyst for uncovering feelings and for helping individuals express their emotions and madelyn is a firm believer that everyone can benefit from music psychotherapy – no musical experience required. Some music psychotherapy techniques include singing or listening to a song with her clients, analyzing lyrics or providing gentle music for breathing exercises and meditation.
Madelyn is committed to working collaboratively with her clients to help them ask those hard questions, realize their potential, nurture their strengths and resources and help them achieve their goals.

Tiffany believes in an equal playing field when it comes to therapy, working in partnership with her clients to find an approach that works best for their needs.

There are two things that got Heather into acupuncture: Gender Studies and her own struggle with anxiety.

Amber is one of those people who was meant to work in healthcare.
As a child, she was dubbed “Nurse Amber” since she was always armed with a first aid kit, ready to help anyone who needed it. Sports played a big part in her life growing up, and she remained active as she grew older.
This personal connection to health and fitness is what led Amber to become a pelvic health physiotherapist. She has a special interest in women’s health and loves to educate and empower women about their body, particularly in regards to the changes that happen during pregnancy, the postpartum period and menopause. She also works with patients experiencing painful intercourse and individuals with chronic pelvic pain, including endometriosis.
Amber loves helping women prepare for childbirth, whether it is a vaginal delivery or cesarean. She helps women in their postpartum period by guiding them through recovery exercises, including treatment for diastasis rectus abdominus, and ultimately helps navigate a safe return to pre-pregnancy activity levels.
Amber also feels that educating women throughout their perimenopause and postmenopausal journey is so important. She helps to address any genitourinary symptoms of menopause, and can help with preventative exercises for anyone who loves to be prepared!
Amber uses a trauma-informed approach when treating patients, providing a safe and judgement-free environment for patients to express their history and triggers to take the steps towards healing.
Amber strongly believes that understanding one’s history is the key to a successful recovery, which is why her treatment approach includes a ton of education, as well as exercise guidance, manual therapies and dry needling/acupuncture as needed. As a patient of Amber’s, you can always expect to feel seen and heard and you’ll immediately feel at ease thanks to her caring nature.
