Stacey Coene, M.S.W., R.S.W.

Hello and Welcome!

I’m Stacey, the founder of Bloom. My vision for Bloom is simple but powerful: to create a community where children, teens, and young adults feel empowered to understand their emotions, navigate challenges, and live their best lives—without stigma.

Mental health conversations are becoming more open as parents strive to break cycles that no longer serve their families, and as youth explore healthier ways to cope with life’s ups and downs. This inspires me every day. I would be honoured to walk alongside you and your family on this journey. At Bloom, you’ll find a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My primary goal in every session is connection.

For Parents

Every child faces emotional hurdles. Over the past twenty years, I’ve supported youth navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, ADHD, OCD, school stress, and identity exploration. I know how overwhelming it can feel as a parent to watch your child struggle and not know how to help. I’ve worked closely with parents who want to help their children reach their potential and learn to see themselves as the unique, capable, and gifted individuals they are. Let me be your guide and ally. My role is not only to help your child cope with what’s happening today, but to give them tools to face future challenges with resilience and confidence. I will meet your child where they’re at—always with warmth, openness, and creativity. As a social worker, I believe in taking a reflective, collaborative approach, while also working to reduce stigma and build mental health literacy within families.  Click here for more information about my approach and training. 

For Youth

Life can feel really overwhelming sometimes. Between school, friends, family, and everything else going on, it’s easy to feel stressed, anxious, or just… stuck. If that sounds like you, and you’re looking for a safe space to figure things out, I’m here for you. Talking to a therapist without parents in the room can feel freeing—you get time that’s just for you. Together, we can make sense of what you’re feeling and why, and turn those struggles into growth, strength, and confidence.

Bas Yalda, M.S.W., R.S.W.

Hello and welcome to my profile! I’m thrilled to welcome new clients. Beginning counselling—and choosing to put yourself first—can feel both courageous and vulnerable. It’s not always easy to take that first step, but it opens the door to hope, meaningful change, and a deeper connection with yourself. My goal is to walk alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and respect as you move toward the future you want for yourself.

I have extensive experience supporting others with a wide range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, gender dysphoria, OCD, and relationship challenges. I understand how these experiences can impact your sense of self, your relationships, and your day-to-day life, and I strive to provide a space where you feel seen, understood, and supported at every stage of your journey.

My approach is holistic and trauma-informed, and grounded in non-judgmental, unbiased, and anti-oppressive care. I believe that each person brings their own strengths, stories, and lived experiences, and I tailor my work to meet you where you are—emotionally, culturally, and developmentally. Together, we will explore what’s working, what feels heavy, and what possibilities lie ahead. Click here to read more about my approach and training.

Dana Peltier, M.S.W. R.S.W.

Hi and welcome!

I’m so glad you’re here. Starting therapy can feel like a big step—for kids, teens, or parents—and my goal is to make it feel safe, supportive, and even empowering.

For the past nine years, I’ve worked with children, teens, adults, and families to help them navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, big life changes, and everyday struggles. Whether you’re a young person looking for someone to really listen, or a parent searching for support for your child, I’ll meet you with compassion, understanding, and a plan that fits your unique needs. Click here to read more about my approach and training.

Others often describe me as approachable, empathetic, and strengths-focused. To me, therapy isn’t about “fixing” people—it’s about walking alongside you, helping you feel seen and heard, and supporting you in building confidence, capacity, and hope. I have a deep respect for each person's unique story and resilience. 

It takes courage to reach out, and I want you to know that I am here as a resource to help you every step of the way. Together, we can create meaningful change.

Hadeel Elzubeidi, M.S.W., R.S.W.

Growing up (or raising kids) isn’t easy, and sometimes it helps to have someone to walk alongside you. I support teens, children, and parents to explore feelings, build coping skills, and feel truly seen, understood, and empowered in both daily life and in the bigger picture.

Hi, I’m Hadeel!

Life can feel big, messy, and confusing; whether you’re a child trying to make sense of your feelings, a teen figuring out who you are, or a parent hoping to support your child without feeling lost. I’m here to help your family find calm, connection, and clarity.

In our sessions:

  • Children can play, draw, and explore their emotions in hands-on ways, learning practical strategies to manage big feelings and build confidence.

  • Teens can talk openly, reflect on challenges, develop coping skills, and gain clarity about themselves and their relationships.

  • Parents and caregivers receive guidance, coaching, and practical tools to support their child’s growth at home, strengthen connection, and navigate everyday challenges with confidence.

No matter the challenge, be it big emotions, anxiety, ADHD, autism, self-esteem struggles, or parent-child conflict; my goal is to walk alongside your family, helping everyone build trust, resilience, and a stronger sense of who they are.

Hi there! If you’ve found your way here, take a moment to sit with this feeling. The courage it takes to start, the weight you might be holding, and even the smallest hope that things could be different.

As a therapist, my aim is to provide a safe and collaborative space where change can begin to happen. Whether you are seeking support for a specific concern or for personal growth and development, I will assure this is done with compassion. I value recognizing and respecting the unique factors that shape individuals’ well-being to ensure I am providing humanistic and personalized care.
