Molly Sweeney is now welcoming new clients at Lupine Counselling and Wellness both in person and online. Seasions are available Wednesday and Saturdays. Molly will be covered by most insurance companies.

Molly brings a warm, trauma‑informed, neurodiversity‑affirming approach to her work with children (10+), youth, adults, couples, and families.

Molly has a special interest in working with clients in the perinatal stage of life and young families.

Her counselling blends somatic awareness, parts work, and practical skills to help clients feel more regulated, connected, and capable in their daily lives.

She supports individuals navigating anxiety, depression, complex trauma, attachment injury, parenting challenges, neurodiversity, and relationship transitions—always honoring each person’s unique nervous system and story.

We are excited for Molly to offer our clients Somatic Experiencing and Internal Family Systems at Lupine.

If you’re looking for compassionate, evidence‑based support that meets you exactly where you are, Molly is now accepting new clients at Lupine.

is excited to welcome Sarah Cicchine to our clinic with a special interest in Prenatal, Postpartum & Infant Massage.

If you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or caring for a little one, Sarah brings the kind of support that helps your whole body exhale.

With over 15 years of experience as a Registered Massage Therapist — and her work as a Birth Doula — she offers deeply informed, hands‑on care for every stage of the perinatal journey.

Sarah’s treatments blend anatomy, movement, and perinatal expertise to help ease the physical demands of pregnancy, support recovery after birth, and offer nurturing care for infants.

ADHD symptoms often intensify during pregnancy and postpartum. Hormonal shifts (a sharp drop in estrogen which impacts dopamine) increased cognitive load, and major sleep disruption can make previously manageable symptoms feel overwhelming.

Add the nonstop demands of caring for a newborn, and many parents experience more inattention, emotional dysregulation, and executive‑function challenges than ever before.

we have an experienced and skilled counsellor Andrea Onofrio who is trained in supporting clients with ADHD (and other neurodiversity) and she is accepting new clients!

Please visit us at www.lupineclinicalcounselling.com to book a session with Andrea.
