I provide a safe environment where you can say what you need to say, without fear of being judged. My strength is listening to understand your story and developing mutual goals to create more helpful ways of dealing with life’s stressors. I can help you explore your current thoughts and behaviours to see if they are serving you as well as you would like them to and help you develop tools and strategies to promote change in your life.

I have a Masters Degree in Social Work from Wilfrid Laurier University with over 24 years of experience, including 18 years supporting those affected by cancer and over 10 years in private practice.

I help couples to understand and change patterns in their relationship to promote improved communication. What would be happening for you to say I’m ready for change?

I am a member of the Ontario Association of Professional Social Workers (OASW) and a member of the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW).

If you’re looking for a calming, non-judgmental place to say what you need to say and are ready for change, contact me.

Hi, I’m Allison. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with more than 20 years of experience working in the field of child and youth mental health.

I have extensive training in providing assessment and treatment to individuals, children and families who are struggling with anxiety, relational concerns, emotion regulation, attachment and parenting, behavioural issues and the impact of trauma.

Therapy is a uniquely personal experience and there is no one “right” approach. I create a safe space to explore your challenges and help you feel understood. Using a family systems lens, I believe that a child/youth’s struggles should be viewed in the context of their environment and that family members have a significant role in the healing journey.

It takes courage to ask for help and I provide a safe, non-judgemental space to support you. If you are ready for some help, you are worried about your child’s mental health, or you are experiencing your own stress or mental health challenges, you’ve come to the right place.

Hi, I’m Natasha—a registered social worker, psychotherapist and the founder of Rooted in Counselling.

My extensive experience includes supporting youth and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, interpersonal conflict, emotional regulation and trauma. The path to healing, growing and creating lasting change is one that I know well.

Before starting my private practice, I worked in the field of social work for over six years. I learned a lot about myself and the communities I worked in. Through doing my own inner work, I became inspired to use my lived experience and knowledge to guide others on the journey towards living intentionally and reaching their goals.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and eclectic—meaning I partner with you to create a personalized plan and incorporate various modalities based on your unique needs. I view myself as not only your guide but your support system, too. Someone who hears you distinctly, speaks with compassion and delicately challenges you to see different perspectives. Our work together may bring up tears and laughter—and both are okay.
