Sessions are available in-person from my office in Fonthill, as well as virtually or outdoors across the Niagara region.
You’re somewhere in between—functioning, but not fully yourself.. Maybe you’re feeling more overwhelmed than usual—more reactive, emotionally tired, or not quite like yourself. When that happens, it can be hard to know where to start.
I’m Emily Schild, a Registered Professional Counsellor (Provisional). I offer a steady, supportive space to slow things down, reconnect with yourself, and find what actually feels helpful for you.

I offer both in-person and virtual therapy sessions on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, and virtual sessions only on Fridays.
I work with individuals and couples navigating life’s more challenging and overwhelming seasons—whether external stress, major life transitions, or feeling stuck or at a crossroads. As a mother myself, I understand how transformative and at times overwhelming the transition into parenthood can be, which has deepened my passion for supporting clients in the perinatal period with empathy and care. I also support couples who feel disconnected or stuck in patterns, helping them strengthen communication, rebuild connection, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

I believe purpose is at the heart of human fulfilment, and that when you align with your own direction, meaningful change becomes possible. In our work together, we’ll explore what’s been holding you back, whether it’s the impact of trauma, relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, identity questions, or life transitions. My style draws on various therapeutic approaches to adapt to your needs, blending value-based work, existential therapy, and trauma-informed care through a humanistic lens.

Wonderful, you made it!
Life can be unpredictable, challenging and make us feel overwhelmed. Many people feel like pushing those feelings down is a great escape because out of sight, out of mind, right? We know that's not the case. Heavy emotions and stress can come back through our inability to focus, our behaviours and the way we communicate. The impact can be recent, or have been building up through years of difficulties in processing our experiences. Life is not linear, and neither is how we think, or how we feel.

If life feels like trying to assemble IKEA furniture without instructions... and you’ve already sworn at a wooden dowel twice, you’re in the right place. A lot of people who find me feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or stuck in patterns that make them wonder, “Why am I like this?” Meanwhile their brain is running 47 tabs, one is frozen, one is buffering, and one is blasting music even though they swear everything’s muted. Whether you’re coming in solo or as a couple, you don’t need to arrive polished or emotionally articulate. If you can show up, we can work with it.

My ideal client feels stuck—overwhelmed by trauma, intense emotions, addiction, OCD, or complex PTSD. Many are first responders or high-stress professionals who value competence but struggle privately. They need evidence-based, collaborative care that helps them understand the “what and why” of their diagnosis and treatment. Their goal is clarity, emotional balance, and lasting change—so they can feel grounded, confident, and become the healthiest version of themselves.

You’ve likely already tried to figure things out—but something still isn’t shifting. I help clients move beyond understanding into real, lasting change using EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Together, we work with the parts of you that hold anxiety, past experiences, and patterns that don’t shift, so you can feel more grounded, clear, and in control. I offer both weekly therapy and, when appropriate, intensive sessions for those looking to move through things more quickly. Clients also receive reflective session summaries to support integration between sessions.

I offer in-person sessions at the Become Wellness office, midtown St.
You’re someone who notices everything: your thoughts, your relationships, the undercurrents in every room. You care deeply, think deeply and often carry more than anyone realizes. But lately, it’s heavy. Maybe you’re navigating burnout, relationship patterns, neurodivergence or a quiet kind of grief that’s hard to name. You want to feel more like yourself again — clearer, more anchored and less at the mercy of old dynamics or expectations that no longer fit. You’re not looking for someone to fix you, you’re looking for a place to land, to be understood and to start moving forward on your own terms.

People see you as the one who has it all together, but deep down you have feelings of shame and thoughts like "I'm not good enough". You're tired, over-worked, overwhelmed and anxious much of the time. The way you are relating to yourself is likely connected to your first attachment relationships. These not so conscious strategies became a way to for you to feel safe. This armour of protection was adaptive at one time, but is no longer serving you, it is taking a toll on your emotional health. I'd like to help you slowly remove the armour and discover your authentic self is more than enough.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
