Intentional Growth Counselling

At Intentional Growth Counselling, we empower individuals to achieve positive growth through self-understanding, compassion, and acceptance. Our team of dedicated and compassionate counsellors are committed to providing a safe and comfortable environment for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

Our Story

Intentional Growth Counselling was founded by Tymarah Cholewa with the intention of providing therapy services that are authentic and meaningful. We believe that finding a connection with a counsellor who you feel safe to show up as your true self is one of the best places to start your journey towards personal growth and healing. That's why we offer a 15-minute phone consultation, at no charge to you, so that you can get a better idea of who we are and how we might work together.

Our Services

We work with both individuals and couples, and our services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. Some of the areas we focus on include depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, grief and loss, body image concerns, and personal growth and development. We also offer online counselling sessions, which provide the same benefits as in-office counselling but with the added convenience of being in the comfort of your own home.

Our Team

Our team of counsellors are dedicated professionals who are passionate about helping others. They are committed to ongoing education and training to ensure that they are equipped to provide the best possible care for their clients. Our team includes Linnea Saltel, Tymarah Cholewa, and Rachael O'Mahony, each with their own unique approach and areas of expertise.

Our Values

At Intentional Growth Counselling, we value diversity, inclusivity, and compassion. We believe that every individual deserves to be heard, seen, and understood, and we strive to create a safe and welcoming environment for all clients, regardless of their background, identity, or experiences. We are welcoming of all identities and bodies, including trans, non-binary, BIPOC, queer identities, and people with disabilities.
