Meet the Team

Maya Oakes
Owner & Registered Psychotherapist
Hello and welcome! My name is Maya.
I created Branching Out Psychotherapy & Wellness with the understanding that it can be challenging to "branch out".... whether that means stepping outside your comfort zone, navigating a life transition, changing familiar patterns, learning new things about yourself, or exploring your inner world more deeply. Change can feel overwhelming, and my role is to provide a supportive space where you can slow down, gain insight, and reconnect with yourself as you move through it.

Sarah Bressel
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Hello! I'm Sarah, and I aim to create a space where you can genuinely feel seen, heard, and understood, recognizing that you are the one who knows your lived experiences the best. Within this space, we can explore the patterns, emotions, beliefs, and stories that may be shaping your life, while supporting deeper self-awareness and lasting change.
