Welcome to The Open-Hearted Therapist. My name is Cathy. I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW), Psychotherapist, and accredited Clinical Counselling Hypnotherapist (C.Hyp) with over 25 years of experience as a counsellor, behaviour therapist and college professor. I operate an independent private practice, offering individual psychotherapy support to adults and adolescents with a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences. I am an approved provider of evidence-based psychotherapy treatment for members of the Canadian Forces and Veterans Affairs, Partners in Canadian Veterans Rehabilitation Services, Ontario Provincial Police, first responders, and eligible Indigenous clients of the Non-Insured Health Benefits program.I consider it an honour and a privilege to help people overcome life’s challenges to become the best possible version of themselves.

 

My open-hearted promise is to support you at all times with warmth, genuine caring, integrity, honesty and unconditional acceptance. Empathy is my super-power and I will help you see your strengths, positive attributes and ways of coping effectively with life's challenges.
