Returning Home Counselling & Contracting Inc.
The story behind the name...
"We're all just walking each other home." - Ram Dass
When we experience trauma, our home (whether it's our physical body or an actual house), may feel unsafe, causing us to spend time outside of ourselves, seeking care, comfort, connection, validation and other things that we may outgrow to heal our hearts. We all have the innate ability to heal ourselves, sometimes we just need someone to walk us home.
Returning home means coming back to our basic physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual needs so we can create an internal environment for our authentic selves that feels safe and secure. The home has always been there, we are just returning to it.
Taylor Chetty MSW, RSW
Therapist, Owner & Founder
Taylor believes that every person has the keys to their own empowerment and healing and that therapy is a helpful tool in bringing everyone’s unique gifts and personality to the surface so they can live a healthier, happier and more contented life. Taylor prioritizes a trauma-informed approach that takes into consideration how our rich and sometimes painful histories and the power dynamics in our external environments impact our current behaviours and relationships. She believes that each person is more than any label placed upon them and the key to healing is in nurturing onesself and the connections in life that allow everyone to return to nervous system safety.

-
Sexual violence/trauma

Criminal victimization

Sage Litzenberger RSW, MSW
Therapist
I hold the belief that we all carry an innate capacity for healing, growth, and resilience. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in creating a non-judgmental space where individuals feel safe to explore their inner world, reconnect with their strengths, and move toward meaningful change and healing. I pay close attention to the connection between mind and body, recognizing how trauma, stress, and emotional pain can be held within the nervous system and how healing often benefits from a holistic, integrative approach.
My therapeutic style is warm, trauma-informed, client-centred, and relational. I strive to integrate practical, evidence-based strategies within a holistic mind-body framework, tailoring therapy to each individual’s unique needs and experiences. I draw from a range of modalities, including Narrative Therapy, EMDR therapy, mindfulness, somatic approaches, and art-based strategies.
I support children, adolescents, and adults in building insight, confidence, and emotional resilience while navigating life’s challenges and strengthening their relationships with themselves and others. I also support children and adolescents experiencing emotional and behavioural challenges using developmentally appropriate, creative, and trauma-informed approaches.
Areas of focus in my practice include anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma recovery, life transitions, self-development, and health issues.
I work with individuals 6+
