● About
Our Approach
Gather has a modern and authentic approach to therapy. Reaching out for support is a big step in your journey, and we aim to make the therapy process feel less clinical and more human. Authentic connection is the “why” behind what we do. We believe therapy should be a safe space to explore your experiences and move toward a future shaped by what matters most to you.
Alongside individual therapy, our gatherings offer an additional space to explore different mental health topics, engage in meaningful conversations, and learn alongside others with shared experiences. These gatherings can help bring what you’re working on in therapy into everyday life, while also offering the opportunity to connect with a community united by shared values and understanding.
● Our Mission & Philosophy
Our Principles
●
Connection
Connection is at the core of everything we do. We believe that connection to others and connection to self is an essential element of mental wellbeing. We’re here to facilitate connection.
●
Authenticity
Authenticity looks different to everyone. We’re here to help you discover what being authentic means to you, with tools that support building a life that feels genuine and meaningful.
●
Community
Community is a powerful pillar of wellbeing. Our community gatherings offer space to connect, be supported, and grow alongside others. Real growth happens through collective support.
●
Inclusivity
Inclusive spaces create opportunities for everyone to feel seen and supported. Inclusivity is woven into everything we do, from pricing and workshop design to our counselling and therapy approaches.
● Our Story
Meet Alissa
Alissa is a Registered Counsellor, Workshop Facilitator, and Pilates Instructor/Educator who supports wellbeing through meaningful conversation, movement, creativity, and somatic-based approaches.
As a counsellor, Alissa uses a person-centred approach. This allows her to create a warm and collaborative space where clients can explore their experiences, build meaningful wellbeing goals, and receive support tailored to their individual needs.
Alongside counselling, Alissa has designed and facilitated workshops for women on topics including body image, stress, self-esteem, relationships, and friendship. She has also worked extensively in the lived-experience space, supporting young people to share their stories of growth, strength, and mental health challenges. She values storytelling as a powerful way to help people feel seen, understood, and less alone.
Gather is the product of these experiences: a space for therapeutic growth, community connection, story sharing, and strength-based movement. A space to explore what’s possible for you.
