A real connection.
A path that’s yours.
We believe you are the expert in your own life. Our role is to bring care, curiosity, and useful tools as you explore what comes next.
You, as a whole person.
Therapy starts with a relationship. We make room for your experiences, your perspective, and what matters to you.
With you, at your pace.
Your goals guide the work. You can ask questions, share what is helpful, and have a say in the direction of your sessions.
Care that fits real life.
We combine conversation with approaches and tools that can support you beyond the therapy room.
A small practice.
A human approach.
Spark was founded by Alison Vallée with a belief that people deserve mental health support from people who care.
Today, our team brings a range of professional backgrounds and experiences to supporting individuals, couples, children, and families. We meet in person in Hanover and offer online support across Ontario.
