I am incredibly grateful for the support and guidance I have received during my sessions with Risa. From our first session she created a space where I felt genuinely seen, understood, and nurtured. Her compassion and empathy made it easier to navigate difficult emotions and challenges with clarity and ease. She encouraged growth while helping me reflect on my experiences with honesty and self-compassion. Together we arrived at meaningful insights which helped me see situations from new perspectives. She empowered me to find my own strengths and solutions, while providing steady support along the way. After an innovative treatment in which I had a float at Flow State Float and Wholeness prior to our therapy session, I gained greater self-awareness, confidence, and resilience. I left the session feeling encouraged, supported, and better equipped to move forward. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a therapist who combines deep compassion, insightful reflection, and thoughtful guidance in a truly impactful way.

Risa has been most helpful. She was able to adapt sessions to accommodate my needs and budget. I found her respectful and she was always prepared for each session. She let me work at my own time line and was always happy to meet when I was able to make space.

Risa is amazing! She made it so easy to enjoy a cup of tea while pouring out my heart, helped me realize things I haven't noticed before from experiences I had, and listened attentively to to what I was sharing. I left with a feeling that although there might be more to unpack, I know a lot more about myself. I 100% recommend Portage Counselling.

Risa has been incredible in supporting me through my neurodivergent self-discovery journey. She brings genuine compassion to every session and creates a space where all emotions are welcomed without judgment. I have a hard time sharing my needs, but Risa really helps me feel comfortable. She offers things like choosing where I sit, having fidget toys available, and reminding me that I can share whatever I’m thinking or needing at any time. Her lived experience with ADHD and autism also makes a big difference. Thank you Risa!
