Therapists in Winnipeg, MB

Our therapists work with children, youth, and adults of all ages experiencing mental health difficulties relating to anxiety and stress, depression, trauma, grief and loss, ADHD, OCD, and more! We have a variety of therapists and counsellors that can meet you or your child's therapeutic goals; including credentials in Master's of Social Work and Master's of Counselling and Psychotherapy. Each therapist has specialties and qualifications that can assist in helping you or your child achieve a better sense of self, increase coping skills, and address mental health concerns to feel better.

Life's difficulties call to us to craft a story for ourselves and not just any story will do. One-size-fits-all therapy runs the risk of oversimplifying problems, ignoring injustice and social context, and putting us in boxes. I bring 20 years experience to working with youth and adults in a way that values kindness, open co-created conversation, humility, storytelling, growing the strength of our own voices, and what it looks like to 'do justice' to ourselves and others. I am highly skilled at listening to the parts of the story that matter the most and I will work closely with your goals and interests.

Children are introspective, they have valuable insight and ideas around their strengths, challenges and goals. Children can be collaborative partners in the counselling journey. Encouraging children to use their voice and insight empowers and inspires them for growth and change. I have worked with children aged 3-19 on various issues including abuse, neglect, trauma, family reunification, grief and loss, separation and divorce, self-harm, anxiety, depression, challenging behaviours, screen time, self esteem, self confidence and identity. Each child is unique and deserves a collaboratively established personalized counselling plan.

Do you or your loved one struggle with anxiety, emotional ups and downs, relationship issues, or the impacts of trauma that affect day-to-day life? Do feelings of extreme exhaustion, overwhelm, and frustration overpower your ability to function the way you wish you could? Do you know deep down that your life could be better, but you need guidance on how to make that happen? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious and overwhelmed about the overall struggle of juggling many stressors in their lives while trying to move forward in a hopeful way that brings about positive change.

I'm Michele Gardiner, a registered Canadian Certified Counsellor with 17 years of clinical counselling experience helping individuals overcome challenges with Trauma Disorders (PTSD, CPTSD), Anxiety Disorders, Eating Disorders, and co-occurring mental health concerns such as BPD, Binge Eating Disorders, Body Image, Emotional Overeating, Depression, and Life Transitions. As a therapist and human being, I understand how seeking therapy can feel vulnerable and strive to ease this with a warm, professional and authentic approach that values you, your goals, and moves you towards those goals and lasting change, greater freedom and joy.

Hello! Congratulations on taking a positive step towards healing! I'm Connie, a Registered Canadian Art Therapist and Expressive Arts Therapist. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where I can listen, support, and spark curiosity alongside my clients. I'm passionate about assisting individuals who struggle with anxiety, ADHD, perfectionism, black-and-white thinking patterns, balance, and those who struggle with a loss of identity or uncertainty about who they are. Together, we'll work on self-understanding and establishing sustainable habits to help you meet your goals.

I work with children, teens, adults, and older adults (65+) who may be going through difficult life transitions, dealing with grief, loss, loneliness, depression, anxiety, burnout, overwhelm or feelings of isolation. I have extensive experience working with individuals living with physical, developmental, and cognitive disabilities including dementia, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s disease. I provide a welcoming and empowering environment for my clients, where they can address life’s challenges, reduce stress, and discover inspiration in their lives.

I love working with children, teens, adults, couples and families! I am not your typical therapist. Clients have told me I am easy to talk to and they don't feel judged. I have experience working with all issues and would love the chance to work with what ever issues are in the way of living the life you want!

Hello! I'm a certified therapist who specializes in working with children, adolescents, and young adults. I use a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy in which I will work with you to develop goals for you or your child. I see clients for a number of reasons including relationships, depression, anxiety, trauma, and life changes, as well as problems common in childhood such as school difficulties, self esteem, bullying, and changes in the family. I strive to create a safe and nurturing atmosphere in which you or your child will feel comfortable and supported.

Does this sound like you? Are you someone who never feels good enough? You're passionate about personal growth, willing to "do the work" and maybe you've even been to therapy before… but you need support. Maybe you're looking for support with saying what you mean, trying to decrease the inner critic and perfectionism, and not people-pleasing anymore. Or, maybe you need support leaving a toxic job or relationship, or setting boundaries with the people in your life or struggle with focusing and completing a task. I am here to help.

Deep inside of you is the awareness of what you need to heal. I help facilitate and unearth that inner wisdom with individuals, couples, and groups. Together, we'll practice tuning into your own unique embodied awareness. From there, we can translate that increased clarity into tangible action that aligns with your greatest, most authentic wellbeing. Our bodies exist within larger systems — many of which can disconnect us from ourselves and each other. We'll look together at the messages we've internalized from these systems in order to unearth the ones that are no longer helpful.

In the warmth and safety of the therapy room, clients make astonishing self-discoveries and find creative ways to move through emotional difficulty. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology and have over 10 years of experience in assessment and psychotherapy. I collaborate with clients to deliver the most effective methods available. Robert Frost observed that "the best way out is always through." I would add that you don't have to do it alone.

Healthy relationships (including the one with ourselves) are necessary for humans to thrive. What characterizes a healthy relationship, and what influences our ability to participate in them is explored in therapy. Human beings crave attachment and connection but also engage in behaviors that can be hurtful and damaging. Therapy is about healing from the past, learning about boundaries and the process of repair, understanding patterns, self reflection, and working towards goals that are aligned with our values, desires, and needs. I am passionate about working with people of all walks of life who want to create meaningful change.

People come to therapy when they are ready for life to feel different. From my own lived experiences, I understand that the idea of seeking support can be intimidating. It takes courage to reach out, and the act of arriving here on this page is a bold first step. I also know that in time we can heal, and learn to include our painful experiences as one part of our life’s journey. My approach to counselling is client-centered, which means that while the therapeutic process is collaborative, ultimately you are in control of what is and is not discussed in your sessions.

My therapeutic offerings are rooted in the belief that every individual intuitively initiates a process of self-exploration and self-expression from birth. Sometimes this wisdom gets thwarted or stuck due to familial, social, situational and/or societal conditions and experiences. I believe that given the opportunity, and rooted in a foundation of empowering connection, individuals can come to align with their unique self and expressions again.

Therapy can help us to connect with ourselves and others, find meaning, joy, love, acceptance, playfulness and peace of mind. If you are recovering from trauma, if you are stuck or struggling, therapy can create a safe space to work through painful and difficult emotions and experiences in order to live better and feel better. I value creativity, compassion and collaboration. My approach is drawn from attachment theory, narrative therapy, trauma-informed somatic therapies, mindful self-compassion and relational therapy.
