“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” – Carl Jung. Therapy provides a unique opportunity to have someone walk alongside you and help light the way as you forge your own path toward self-discovery, healing, and change. Your courage brought you here. Let’s take the next step together.
Therapy provides a safe place to explore aspects of patterns that have begun to feel problematic in our present lives. As we start to understand ourselves better, we discover a greater sense of agency, and open up opportunities for new ways of being in the world—ways that can feel more authentic and less “stuck”.
I was initially trained as an engineer and worked in the field for 17 years. The most satisfying part of my career was interacting with people—clients, team members, the public. I have always been intensely passionate about what makes people tick, including myself. My own personal journey in therapy helped me turn this passion into a new, rewarding career.
I know from experience that therapy is not always easy. Because of this, I consider it a true privilege to witness a client’s process of inner discovery and change.

I tend to liken the process of psychodynamic psychotherapy to that of an archaeological dig. One gently brushes the soil away to discover something, or a multitude of things, that at first might not appear to be connected or have much meaning. As more depth is achieved, one starts to discover links between these previously unrelated things. The more we explore, the closer we get to the whole picture. The result is a deeper and broader understanding of self, which is an important resource for guiding your living, and your relationship with yourself and others.
This process takes time. It is important that we work at a pace that is comfortable and safe enough to allow your vulnerable thoughts and feelings to start showing themselves during the session. This is a very courageous endeavour for you, the client. In turn, I will hold a space for you that is compassionate, curious, and non-judgemental.
Are you ready to take the next step? Contact me via email (mccluskeymina@gmail.com) or phone (519-766-2315) to set up a free consultation. This consultation can be done via video or phone. I will be happy to answer any additional questions you have about the process, or about me and my approach in particular, and how I might be able to help you. It will also start to give you a sense of the fit between us (i.e., how comfortable/safe you might feel with me), which is important when choosing a therapist.
I offer virtual (video or telephone) sessions from Monday to Friday between the hours of 8am and 6pm. Sessions are 50 minutes long. Clients typically attend sessions on a weekly basis, but this is not absolutely required.
Finding a therapist online should be this easy. You can search our therapist profiles based on your location, availability, in-person and online sessions, or for couples counselling. You could also choose to browse all of our therapist's profiles. Once you find someone who feels like a good match for your needs, you can reach out to that therapist directly.
