Polina Hapco is a Registered Psychologist dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, and families through emotional and relational challenges. She holds a Master’s degree in Family and Social Psychology, with a particular interest in developmental psychology and the profound impact of early experiences on lifelong emotional patterns.

Her therapeutic approach is built on respect, empathy, collaboration, and meaning-making. She utilizes a diverse range of evidence-based modalities, including Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic and Person-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), integrating these frameworks to foster an environment where clients feel truly understood and supported. For couples, she is trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method, and also draws from Imago Therapy and Attachment-based approaches. Additionally, she is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma treatment.

Approaching therapy with curiosity, she views each person holistically, helping clients connect patterns, gain insight, and progress toward meaningful change.

She works with clients who are seeking to deepen their self-understanding, enhance communication, discover a sense of purpose, navigate difficult life moments, and strengthen their relationships. Witnessing the process of change and integration in people brings her immense joy. She is committed to maintaining a thoughtful balance between providing a safe, supportive environment and creating space for growth and challenge.

Outside of her practice, Polina enjoys writing, exploring symbolic and creative forms of self-expression, being in nature, and spending quality time with her family.

Jill is a Registered Psychologist with ten years of experience working in education and mental health. She holds a Bachelor of Secondary Education (UAlberta) and a Masters in Counselling and Applied Psychology (Athabasca University). After five years in the junior high classroom, she transitioned to private practice where she could focus on helping teens better understand themselves and how their brains work. She works with youth and adults, and specializes in supporting those with ADHD, anxiety, depression, and academic wellness. She also works with parents to support them in creating healthy relationships, boundaries, and routines.

Her approach is to be person-centered and meet clients where they are by pulling from different theories, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution Focused Therapy (SFT). Whether working on emotional regulation, building better coping methods, or improving social boundaries, Jill’s aim is to help clients navigate their experience from a place of safety, compassion, and a little bit of humor.

Jill spends her time outside of the office with her two little girls and her husband finding fun things to do around the city (once they get coffee and treats, anyways). She is a coffee snob, paint-by-numbers completer, anime watcher, and non-fiction reader. Yeah. She reads non-fiction for fun. Like, textbooks. Weird.
