Hello 

I’m Tiffanie Leal - a Canadian Certified Counsellor (C.C.C.) with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA) and the founder of Contigo Counselling Inc.

 

The word Contigo means “with you,” and that captures my approach to therapy: collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in walking alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges. I am a trained therapist and completed my Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families in the community. More specifically, I have worked with those navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, interpersonal relationship issues, and sex and intimacy challenges. 

My Therapeutic Practice

I’m passionate about helping individuals develop practical, sustainable skills that foster emotional regulation, build resilience, and support overall wellbeing. One approach I frequently use is Behavioral Activation, which involves engaging in activities that boost the brain's “feel-good” hormones in a healthy and structured way. This method is often incorporated into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is goal-focused and rooted in identifying strengths and opportunities in your lived experiences. While CBT can touch on the past, it doesn’t always focus on trauma processing. That’s why my work is also grounded in a trauma-informed, person-centered approach. I understand therapy is not one-size-fits-all. I can work with clients who want to process trauma and painful experiences using Narrative Therapy techniques like guided imagery, journaling, and reauthoring life stories. I also integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) where appropriate, always tailoring sessions to your needs and preferences. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and my practice is informed by ongoing training, including specialized certifications on self-esteem, and sex and couples therapy. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, life transitions, burnout, identity exploration, or relationship issues, I’m here to support you in reconnecting with your values, your voice, and your sense of self.
