Meet The Team
Fiona Pasay
Welcome! I'm So Glad You're Here
What if you could emerge from this time of crisis feeling calmer, more at home in your body, and more confident in your ability to navigate change?
Life is beautiful, but let’s be honest — it’s also a lot. Even the good things (a new baby, a new job, a new chapter) can leave you overwhelmed and wondering if you’re doing it wrong. And the hard stuff, grief, trauma, burnout, parenting, endings, can leave you feeling like you’re barely holding it together. You’re not alone.
I work with adults, couples, parents, caregivers and elders navigating all kinds of transitions, pain points, and “what now?” moments. Whether you’re grieving, overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or just plain tired, this is a place where you can breathe, exhale, and be real.
My approach is gentle, trauma-informed, and rooted in neuroscience, experience, and heart. With over 25 years in mental health, I bring a big toolkit. I have a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology (MACP) with certificates in Integrated Body Psychotherapy, Family Mediation and Clinical Supervision. I am a certified End of Life Doula with 25+ years of experience as a Hospice Counsellor and Volunteer. I have advanced training in IBP, EFT, IFS, EFFT, DBT, EFIT, CBT, MI, Gottman Method Couples Therapy Level 1 & 2, and more but what matters most is you. Together, we’ll tailor our work to meet your unique needs, your pace, and your story.
We’ll listen to the body as well as the brain, honour your cultural roots, hold space for what’s hard, and rediscover what’s still possible. There will be tears. There will be laughs. There may be snacks. All parts of you are welcome.
The Heart Behind the Work
I’m the daughter of Jamaican and British parents, and a biracial immigrant to Canada. That journey with all its nuance, complexity, and beauty deeply shapes how I show up in this work. I know firsthand how culture, identity, and belonging shape our stories. My practice is rooted in inclusivity, humility, and deep respect for the many ways we move through the world. This isn’t just theory to me — it’s lived experience.
While I take this work seriously, I also believe in levity, in the magic that shows up in everyday moments, and in the little joys that help us survive the big stuff.
I’m a lover of people, stories, laughter, and the tender, messy, miraculous work of becoming. And every now and then, a full day of silence is a sacred gift.
Nothing fills my heart more than time spent with my family.
Whether you’re a couple trying to reconnect, a parent navigating the hardest job on earth, or someone wrestling with loss, identity, or change. I’m here to walk beside you with compassion, curiosity, and zero judgment.
Ashé means the power to make meaningful change and I believe that power lives in you.
Let’s begin, right where you are.
Chloe da Mata
I am a practicum student completing the final year of my Master of Counselling degree at Athabasca University. In addition to my graduate training, I have completed specialized training in crisis intervention and hold certification as a Registered Behaviour Technician (RBT) through the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB).
Over the past six years, I have had the privilege of supporting children, youth, and families navigating cognitive and developmental disabilities, trauma, and complex life experiences. My work has extended beyond the individual to include parents, caregivers, siblings, and grandparents, giving me a deep appreciation for the ways our relationships shape our wellbeing. These experiences have taught me that even the most meaningful life transitions can bring unexpected emotions, uncertainty, and challenges—and that no one should have to navigate them alone.
I strive to create a therapeutic space where you feel safe, heard, and genuinely accepted. My approach is collaborative, client-centered, and grounded in curiosity and compassion. Together, we will work at a pace that feels right for you, honouring your unique experiences, strengths, and goals. I am committed to providing an inclusive, affirming environment that welcomes individuals of all gender identities, sexual orientations, cultures, and intersectional identities.
I believe that each of us is both the author and the main character of our own story. Sometimes life can leave us feeling as though the pen has been taken from our hands by circumstances beyond our control. My role is to walk alongside you as you rediscover your voice, reconnect with your strengths, and begin writing the next chapter in a way that reflects the life you want to create.
My work is informed by an integrative approach, drawing from a variety of evidence-based modalities, including:
- Narrative Therapy
- Internal Family Systems (IFS)
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
- Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Whether you are navigating change, healing from past experiences, strengthening relationships, or simply hoping to understand yourself more deeply, I would be honoured to be part of your journey.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you write the next chapter of your story.
