The Mindful Living Centre -

Marie Alexis sees clients in person in the Milton and Oakville clinics, as well as offering virtual sessions. She is a registered social worker (RSW) who works with adults navigating anxiety in romantic relationships and other life areas, postpartum challenges, and life and identity transitions, among other concerns. Marie believes that a strong therapeutic relationship provides the foundation for positive change, and strives to make therapy a space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to explore new ways of being. 

Led by the belief that therapy should meet you where and how you are, Marie uses a variety of clinical approaches to support clients’ movement towards personal growth. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), as well as Applied Mindfulness and Emotion-Focused interventions. She approaches therapy with a deep respect for each person’s unique cultural identity, values, and experiences, and is committed to practicing from a place of cultural humility, equity, and openness.

Dr. Raab sees clients in Milton and Oakville clinics, as well as offering virtual sessions. He specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and holds one of the highest levels of certification available for psychologists. Additionally, Dr. Raab specializes in treating trauma and PTSD.  He works with individuals who have experienced childhood trauma, complex trauma, many forms of abuse (emotional, physical, sexual, domestic, religious and clerical), as well as war and military-related trauma.

Dr. Raab begins by getting to know his client as a whole person, not just their challenges, but their strengths, background, culture, interests and hobbies. With this as the foundation, he develops a treatment plan customized to a client’s unique experiences, needs, and goals. His approach is non-judgmental and highly collaborative. He is always happy to chat about to help you decide if he might be a good fit.
