I am Michele Gardiner, a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (ASD, CCTP, PTSD), and EMDR therapist with over 15 years' experience supporting individuals and couples to develop the skills they need to overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, complex mental health and relationship challenges. I understand seeking help can feel vulnerable, and I am committed to providing a safe, professional, and non-judgmental space for you to learn and grow. My approach is grounded in collaboration, respect, and the wisdom of your unique strengths, values, and goals and empowering you to create lasting change.
My commitment to supporting you is reinforced by a strong foundation of experience and professional training, including an MA in Counselling, a BA in Biopsychology and Paralinguistics, and postgraduate certifications in evidence-based therapies for treating youth, adults, couples, and groups that provide the safety and inspiration for healing and health.
I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation and private, personalized online therapy sessions tailored to your needs and values for growth and healthy change. I look forward to working together and creating a therapy experience that feels connected, authentic and moves you toward your goals and greater peace and balance in your life.
