Hi, I am Amelia,
I am a registered social worker graduating from the Bachelor of Social Work program in 2000 & Master’s of Social Work program at King’s University of Western Ontario in April 2007.  The Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers has granted me the ability to use Psychotherapist as a type of social work platform.  Psychotherapy uses the bio-psycho-social approach when addressing the underlying causes of a person’s problems as well as how to solve them.  
In 2019 I left the Government Systems, which is governed with many limitations around how humans heal and founded my own private practice.  As an integrative therapist at Y.O.U.R. Therapy Clinic, I use several Western and Eastern practices to help an individual understand themselves better and heal the wounds from their past and their ancestors past which may be perpetuating relationship conflicts in the present.  
Using a holistic approach, I have found through blending modalities the individual will find clarity in how they have developed into who they currently are; while building courage and connections to change the things that are no longer serving them; along with providing themselves compassion for the past; and the confidence and curiosity for their future endeavours.
Within the past decade of my career I have been trained in specific Western skills therapies such as: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Trauma Informed Therapy.  Cognitive Behavioural therapy (CBT), helps you identify unhealthy, negative beliefs and behaviours and replace them with healthy, positive ones. Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), another model that teaches behavioural skills to help you handle stress through applying mindfulness techniques, regulate your emotions, and improve your relationships with others with effective communication. Trauma Informed Therapy (also recognizing childhood developmental trauma), provides psychoeducation on the neurobiology of the brain and how it has been impacted by trauma.  Utilizing methods such Internal Family Systems (IFS), Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Experience and psychedelic assisted therapy to help heal the whole person and not pathologize parts of the person based on diagnosis.
 
The practice is growing with the addition of a new psychotherapist and a social work intern:
Laurell Pecnik available to provide services specializing in complications with fertility, healing from the medical trauma of infertility, and DBT.  Please contact laurell@yourtherapyclinic.ca
