My approach is to provide a safe and collaborative environment so clients feel they can fully embark on their therapeutic journey of healing and growth.
As a Registered Social Worker, I come with over a decade of experience working in community mental health providing psychotherapy and crisis intervention. My work includes helping both adults and adolescents who are experiencing anxiety, depression, traumatic experiences, conflict in relationships, lack of self-esteem and emotional distress. In my career, I have worked alongside first responders and have a passion for supporting those in a helping profession to identify work-related stressors, and explore healthy ways of thinking, feeling and being.
My academic background includes a Masters of Social Work from Wayne State University, with a concentration in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I received my Honors in Women’s Studies and Bachelors of Social Work at the University of Windsor. I am a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers.
I employ a blended approach of several therapeutic methods in my practice including; Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy.
Most importantly, I am here to listen to your story and help you gain greater insight into your needs and goals to improve your overall wellness.
My name is Emily and I am a practicum student here at Mindsight Counselling Services Inc. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Toronto Metropolitan University and am currently a Masters of Social Work student at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan.
Under the supervision of Amanda Burton MSW, RSW, I will be using evidence based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Solution Focused approaches.
My services are $50 per session and primarily virtually, but in person appointments in Windsor, Ontario can be provided upon request.
