Lyft Counselling grew out of a simple idea: people do better when they have support that truly gets them. Our founder Caitlyn spent years as a coach and athlete, and also built a career designing sport for development programs with the Toronto Blue Jays that reached youth across the country. She also led initiatives bringing life promotion programs to remote First Nations communities through sport, helping young people connect, build confidence, and find purpose in places where opportunities are limited. These programs were never just about sport; they were about shaping lives. Seeing firsthand how sport could make a difference while mental health support was often missing, Caitlyn realized there was a space for something more. Lyft was born at the intersection of performance, personal growth, and real human connection.

While sport is a big part of what we do, we also work with adults and youth navigating trauma, addictions, anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, and other challenges. Our team comes from unique backgrounds, all with a love of sport and a deep care for people. Every therapist brings their own experiences, skills, and perspective to support clients in these areas. Our clients come from all walks of life, including athletes, coaches, parents, young people, adults, and first responders, and every story is unique. We do not do cookie-cutter therapy. We show up as ourselves, work hard for the people we support, and focus on real impact. At Lyft, we help people thrive in all the ways that matter to them with honesty, humor, and heart along the way.
