I’m Chantell, a Registered Psychiatric Nurse Therapist and Registered Clinical Counsellor offering holistic, client-centered care. I support youth, adults, and couples navigating trauma, ADHD, addictions and complex mental health concerns. Alongside professional training, I bring lived experience with ADHD and a grounded understanding of how early experiences shape the nervous system and sense of self.
EMDR-trained with additional training and experience in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy, CBT, Somatic and Narrative Therapy, I draw from a range of evidence-based and experiential modalities to tailor therapy to your unique needs. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative and grounded, supporting nervous system regulation, insight and sustainable change.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for something different, I offer compassionate, steady support to help you strengthen self-trust and move toward greater balance and well-being.
