Hello, my name is Simone Donaldson and I believe that we often forget that we already possess the answers , strengths, and capability to navigate difficult times, and my hope is to guide people to and through these answers. I also believe if we reminded ourselves that we are inherently valuable and created for a purpose, we would tap into our most healed selves, allowing us to thrive. Psychotherapy is transformational work for the mind, body and soul. I have seen personally and professionally where mental health support can truly change whole lives, and when neglected, completely deteriorate lives. I entered this work, because even at a young age, I was always drawn to ensuring others felt seen, heard, valued and well. I am both an advocate and nurturer at heart. I have my Bachelor’s Degree from Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) and Master’s from Dalhousie University, which has significantly helped shape my practice, along with lived experiences. I address a variety of concerns including anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship conflict, grief, racial trauma, and domestic violence to name a few. I am an eclectic worker and use a variety of modalities which include Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT) & Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT). I am truly excited to support you on your healing journey.

You want to feel confident in who you are, but instead, you find yourself second-guessing everything. You put others first, struggle to set boundaries, and carry the pressure of expectations—from family, culture, school, or relationships. Somewhere along the way, you’ve started to lose your own voice. It’s exhausting, and it can feel incredibly isolating. You’re not alone in this experience. I work with Black teens and young adults who are navigating anxiety, low self-worth, people-pleasing, family pressure, and identity questions. Many of my clients feel misunderstood, emotionally overwhelmed, or stuck between who they are and who they feel they’re supposed to be. In our work together, we’ll slow things down and explore what’s been weighing on you. We’ll work on building healthier boundaries, strengthening your self-worth, and helping you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself. My approach is warm, honest, and collaborative. I offer a culturally sensitive, non-judgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are. I’ll meet you with compassion, but I’ll also gently challenge you when needed—because real growth often happens just outside your comfort zone. I draw from strength-based, person-centred, and solution-focused approaches to support meaningful, lasting change. If you’re ready to feel more confident, more heard, and more in control of your life, I’d be honoured to support you.

Reaching out for counselling is a meaningful step, and it looks different for everyone. I believe healing happens when people feel safe, seen, and supported in ways that honour their unique stories. I strive to offer a therapeutic space where you can explore challenges openly and move toward greater clarity and balance. I have extensive experience supporting children, adolescents, women, and families across the lifespan. My work is focused on trauma-informed, culturally responsive counselling. I have extensive experience supporting women through the perinatal period and working with single mothers navigating complex life transitions. I also have experience supporting individuals impacted by gender-based violence, including intimate partner violence and human trafficking. I bring a compassionate, strengths-based approach to therapy, grounded in an understanding of how trauma, systemic oppression, and lived experience shape mental health and wellbeing. I support clients navigating trauma recovery, self-esteem, identity, life transitions, and emotional regulation, while fostering safety, empowerment, and resilience. As a mother of two and a professional deeply committed to holistic care, I have a strong interest in perinatal and family mental health. My practice is guided by anti-oppressive, client-centered principles and a deep respect for each person’s cultural context, values, and voice.

Everyday life is hectic, and trauma has no hierarchy. An incident that means nothing to someone may be catastrophic to you. Some people may tell you..get up…some may even say you are making a mountain out of a molehill, while others may actually blame you for what happened but then who is there to help really? That’s where I come in. I am not telling you I will perfect everything, but I am telling you that I can listen to you empathetically, I can reason and walk the journey with you, I can offer you counselling modalities that can help you feel better.

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!
