Are you ready to try therapy? My clients tell me I'm easy to talk to, respectful, caring, and that I provide a safe and non-judgemental space in which to explore their inner world.

Together we will explore the difficulties you're facing - whether they are feelings of anxiety or depression, stressful life situations, difficult relationships, loss, low self-worth, etc.

We will explore your inner world and develop an understanding of how your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and moods influence your experiences.

Finally, I will offer practical skills and tools you can use immediately to create more peace in your life.
Fees:

My fee is $175 per 50-minute session. I work with adults over the age of 18.
Benefits of therapy may include:

A stronger more positive sense of self - connect with what's most important to you and understand what values and strengths drive your decisions and make you who you are
Developed self-compassion skills when strong emotions take over
A more peaceful mind which leads to more peaceful moments, peaceful days, and a peaceful life
Education and affiliations:

I am currently completing a Doctor of Counselling and Psychotherapy (DCP) at Yorkville University, with my doctoral research focused on narrative therapy approaches to common mental health concerns.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology (BAhon), a Graduate Diploma in Career Counselling, and a Master's Degree in Counselling Psychology (MC).
I have over 10 years experience in the fields of career and personal counselling.I have specialized training in narrative therapy, emotionally focused therapy (EFT) with couples, crisis intervention, sexual trauma, LGBTQ+, multi-cultural counselling, and brief solution-focused therapy.
I am a member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), Registered Psychotherapist, RP.
What type of therapy modalities and counselling theory do I draw upon:
I acknowledge that there are many useful therapies available to therapists, but I personally feel most drawn to post-modern theories of counselling including narrative therapy and solution-focused therapy.

In short, post-modern theory in counselling suggests that the work done in the counselling room is collaborative and that the client's experience is always at the centre of the work.
The main ideas in these therapies include:

Collaboration
Problems are problems; people are not problems
Norms do not exist when it comes to mental health; people decide what works for them and what they would like to change
Counselling focuses on strengths instead of deficits

Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have. I hope to meet you soon.

Warmly,
Wendy
