It takes a whole village to raise a child.


I am committed to providing compassionate care to support healing and personal growth.

I work with youth and adults from diverse backgrounds and populations. I take an integrative approach to therapy, incorporating techniques from solution-focused, cognitive, expressive, and behavioural modalities.

I offer sessions in English and Spanish.

Luis Zavala ~ RCC

My professional background and experience in the mental health field with individuals and families sets the foundation for therapeutic sessions that are non-judgemental, supportive and sensitive to each client’s needs. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor, with additional experience in the public agency sector as a Child & Youth Worker, Family Support Counsellor, and supporting those with behavioural challenges. I work closely with couples and families facing domestic violence in relationships, as well as, children, youth and adult survivors of sexual abuse.
I am knowledgable in crisis intervention, and currently work with individuals, couples, youth, and families. I am dedicated to providing compassionate, client-centred care and am committed to supporting individuals on their journey toward healing and personal growth.
