Golden Horizons was created through my own learning and experiences with relational trauma and grief over the years. It’s the brain child of my own lived experiences through hardship, but also a testament to the power of healing through deep, meaningful connection. I’ve been blessed with many transformative relationships throughout my life, and Golden Horizons is a tribute to them.

My approach is authentic, approachable, and down-to-earth. As someone who’s struggled in my own relationships, but has also been invited to heal and grow in my own relationships, I firmly believe that to be connected is to feel well. This is the foundation of my practice – safe, trusting, authentic connection. I’m passionate about creating a space for you to be human, inviting all emotions to be held with curiosity and compassion. I also believe that humour and laughter can support you in fostering deep, meaningful relationship to self and others. 

I take on a deeply relational and embodied approach to therapy, that is conversational and exploratory. I work with you to step back into your body in a way that nourishes your nervous system and allows you to reconnect with yourself, others, and life around you.

On a Personal Note:

Outside of therapy, I’m a human who feels deeply and laughs often. I love a good coffee and croissant combo, binge watching reality tv, hanging out with my three rescue dogs, traveling to new places, and exploring different forms of movement (right now I’m loving CrossFit and beach volleyball).

At Golden Horizons Therapy Collective, we provide human-first therapy in Guelph and virtually across Ontario.

Alicia Yon (she/her)

Registered Social Worker (MSW, RSW), Associate Therapist

My approach to therapy is warm, relational, and grounded in authenticity. I am committed to creating a human space where you can show up as you are; where your experiences, identities, and emotions are met with curiosity, compassion, and care. 

As a Cambodian-Canadian social worker, I hold a deep awareness of how culture, family, identity, and systemic pressures shape the ways we understand ourselves. I’m passionate about exploring the intersectional identities you hold and how they may influence your relationships, self-worth, and sense of belonging.

I take a collaborative and reflective approach to our work together. My intention is to support you in reconnecting with the parts of you that already know the answers and building resilience in a way that feels embodied and aligned with who you’re becoming.

On a Personal Note:

Outside of therapy I love being present with my family, friends, and animals. You’ll often find me on a nature walk, trying a new form of movement (currently adult swim lessons), or enjoying a warm drink while café hopping. I’m equally happy on the couch with a good TV show or movie, and snacks.
