About

Arukah Counselling is made up of three therapists who specialize in a variety of modalities such as Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Compassion Therapy, Play Therapy and The Gottman Method. We are all Christians who endeavour to keep Christ at the forefront of our practices.

Arukah means healing and restoration and that is our mission to support clients as they seek healing and restoration in all areas of their lives whether it be in relationships, emotional, spiritual or mental health, due to hurt caused by others or our own decisions and experiences, trauma, grief, burnout or any other difficulty life has brought. The therapists at Arukah Counselling will create a safe, nonjudgmental, confidential space to encourage honesty, exploration and change.

Mallory Weir

Mallory Weir

BHSc, MACP
Mallory began her career as a psychotherapist after working for Cree Nation Child and Family Services supporting children in the foster care system. After working with these children, she was given a new perspective on the many different levels of trauma and suffering people experience daily. This projected her towards pursuing more education so that she could have the skills to help people. Having these experiences has given her a desire to help those who are hurting and who struggle to overcome the effects trauma has had on them.

There are many different reasons why you might be seeking out guidance from a therapist. Maybe you’re at a place where you want to develop yourself in a particular area. Maybe you have experienced significant trauma. Or maybe you are going through a difficult transition, whether it was planned or not, and need help navigating it. Whatever might be happening in your life right now, she wants you to know that she will help you each step of the way. Nothing
