Meet The Team

Nikita Ariganello
Nikita is available for counselling sessions in-person in Exeter on Wednesdays and in London on Thursdays, and also by v
ideo or phone.
Nikita provides a safe and judgement-free space where clients are free to explore different themes that may be prevalent in their lives, such as depression, grief, loss, life transitions, stress, anxiety, trauma, relationships, family, faith. and spirituality. She
creates a non-biased space where
clients can freely create
meaning, and make sense of
emotions they may be feeling.
Nikita collaborates with clients through Solution-Focused therapy, Narrative therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Empathy, encouragement and support are important to Nikita in building a therapeutic relationship with clients, and as well, helping clients see different insights and perspectives in their lives.
Nikita was born and raised in a diverse background and believes in welcoming others openly into a space, no matter
the circumstances of one’s background, identity, or social status. Nikita believes
it is important that clients have the opportunity to tell their story and their truth, and to provide an attentive ear
and heart to the vulnerabilities that one may share with her. Nikita is open to exploring and incorporating into therapy a person’s beliefs, dreams, spirituality/faith or what is sacred
to an individual.
Nikita has previous experience in a forensic mental health care setting,
and believes that self-care and caring
for one’s mental health is an important factor in life. Nikita is completing her Master of Pastoral Studies, working towards a certificate in Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy from Knox College (University of Toronto).

Dana Cressman
Dana is available for counselling
sessions in-person in Exeter
on Thursdays, and also by
video or phone.
Dana has worked for over eight years in education with youth and families. Her
work with clients is deeply influenced by
the posture that youth, individuals, and families each possess strengths which contribute to their own healing journeys. Conversations around faith and spirituality are welcome, should they be important aspects of a client’s journey.
Recognizing the impact of trauma, stress,
and relational conflict on the body and
mind is integral to Dana’s work with
clients. When we learn to pay mindful attention to our body’s response to
difficult events, we begin the process
of finding safety in our bodies.
She offers a space to explore life
events through personal stories, art,
and creative expression. Through
talk-therapy, body-based therapy,
or artistic expression, Dana will explore
with clients avenues which promote
healing, personal growth,
and wholehearted living.
Dana is a Masters of Theology in Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy Candidate at
Martin Luther University College,
affiliated with Wilfrid Laurier University.
Dana loves a good laugh, quiet moments
in nature, reading, and creative activities.
