I'm Michele Gardiner, a Canadian Certified Counsellor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and Coach with 15+ years of experience supporting individuals and groups through Anxiety, Depression, Eating Disorders, and Trauma Disorders (PTSD, C-PTSD, Dissociation). As a therapist and a human being, I recognize that beginning therapy can feel vulnerable and endeavour to ease this with a warm, welcoming, and professional approach that focuses on you and your values and goals for creating greater joy, balance, and freedom in life.
I offer extensive experience and training in my areas of expertise, including an MA in Counselling, a BA in Biopsychology and Paralinguistics, and Postgraduate certifications in treating Anxiety, Trauma, and Eating Disorders with 1,500+ Direct Supervised hours treating youth and adults, and Coaching certifications in Trauma and Mental Health Nutrition.
I provide free phone consultations and private, personalized online therapy sessions to fit your needs and values for growth and healthy change, and I look forward to working together to create the therapy experience that moves you towards your goals and brings you greater peace and freedom in life.
