We might be a good therapeutic fit if you are at the onset of considering a life event in a new light; if you’re trying to navigate systems of oppression with grace for yourself; if you’re looking for support in finding a sweet spot between codependence and individualism in your relationships; or if you’re just looking to be kept company in the hard parts of being a person.
I am an abolitionist and I use systemic, person-centred/humanistic, somatic, solutions-focused, queer, and feminist therapies. I completed a 400-hour practicum at the Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton as part of my graduate program at Athabasca University and am also an advanced level student of Somatic Experiencing.
You can expect me to ask you “how” questions and be willing to crack the odd joke with you about your tried, tested, and true coping strategies. It takes a great deal of chutzpah to begin a therapeutic journey and I wish you all the best in yours whether it involves me or not!

I am Tracy a registered psychotherapist (qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapist of Ontario. I have a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and Certificate in Concurrent Disorders from University of Toronto/CMHA.
Growing up in Jamaica I realized that helping people was of great interest to me. It just felt good helping someone who was hurt, was having a bad day emotionally or simply wanted to talk. This genuine interest in the wellbeing of others, had me dreaming of a profession in which I could provide support to other people.
I have over five years experience working with individuals to realize their goals. I am delighted to be helping individuals to navigate through difficult times and celebrate breakthroughs with them. Using a strength-based approach to therapy, I journey with my clients as they discover and rediscover more about themselves and make sense of how their experiences have impacted who they are. Using clients’ support system, I use an integrative approach utilizing Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Solutions Focused Therapy.
Everyone has a story I am happy to listen to yours and even help you to re-write it.

Mindfulness is bringing presence and fullness to an experience. My goal is to bring this presence and aliveness to the sessions.
Our work together is a collaborative process toward healing and recovery of the full self. My desire is to help you feel better. I use a client-centred approach that is supported by evidence-based interventions.
My job is to help you navigate your current circumstances and guide you to overcome the barriers you face, including anxiety, depression, feelings of hopelessness, self-esteem issues, family/relationship issues, communication/emotional concerns, and school/career issues. I can help, you are not alone. There is hope!

I am a Social Worker, (MSW) psychotherapist and a Registered Dietitian.
I was born and grew up in the Caribbean, and immigrated to Canada during my adolescent years. Today, the clients of all nationalities that I assist, share that they benefit as much from my relevant life experiences as they do from my combined 30+ years of professional training. Clients seeking assistance with emotional/mental health challenges are often surprised and relieved to find that they have an option of integrating emotional /mental health treatment, with eating and nutrition-related challenges such as eating disorders, disordered eating, emotional eating, and diabetes eating management. While I can integrate both eating and mental health treatments, it is important to note that my psychotherapy knowledge and skills extend well beyond food and eating-related topics. For instance, when I’m called to solely “wear my therapist hat” I choose from Narrative Therapy, CBT, DBT, and Interpersonal Personal Therapy approaches. I draw on clients’ successes, and the result of the ‘homework’ exercise to finally move them beyond the effects of destructive relationship patterns, and systemic societal challenges that have derailed their progress in life. Your evolving level of readiness, coupled with my guidance will pace our sessions toward the empowered life you seek. Congratulations on seeking help today, this is a promising first step on your successful journey. I hope we will have the opportunity to work together to make your life’s goals a reality. It is possible!!

I am a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC), and Certified Grief Educator living in Calgary. As an immigrant raising a family, I acknowledge the challenges of being an immigrant, visible minority and culturally different. The experience brings with it learning, celebrations, challenges, gains, and loss
My background and experience as an immigrant have enabled me to appreciate the experiences of those that are culturally different, immigrants, and those navigating cross-cultural challenges in various aspects of their lives including relationships, workplace, perception of self and life in general.
I work with individuals, couples and families who have experienced loss either through illness, death or other life and relationship changes; domestic abuse and support for survivors of narcissistic abuse, trauma and abuse, family conflict, relationship challenges and separation, and cross-cultural issues.
In my approach to counselling, I am sensitive to my client’s cultural background, beliefs, and values. I take an eclectic approach to counselling, integrating different approaches to address the client’s specific issues. I provide practical and effective therapy in a nurturing, safe and non-judgemental environment to help you gain insight that directs you toward your goals.
