Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Therapists in T4S

Hello! My name is Tracy, and I am a Registered Psychologist. After many years in the human services sector, along with my own life experiences, I've learned firsthand the importance of reaching out for support and finding hope, particularly within the realm of healing and nurturing relationships. My approach is grounded in the fundamental belief that every person holds intrinsic worth and the potential for personal growth and healing. In my practice, I emphasize the importance of authenticity, respect, and genuine curiosity when engaging with clients, recognizing the profound impact these values have on the therapeutic experience.

Experiencing significant changes and pressures during adolescence can be something hard to navigate. These pressures can be centered around friends, school, and family issues. This heavy load can manifest in many different ways and can cause many teens to act out, pull away from family, and show signs of mental health issues. If you noticed your teen is having changes in behavior, changes to their daily activity, personality changes, mood swings, decline in their sport performance or other favorite activities, it may be time to seek some help.

Salix is the Latin name for willow. The willow tree is a symbol of hope. It gives us a sense of belonging and safety. The willow shows us how to move through adversity with strength and flexibility. It shows us the path to stability, hope and healing. The human condition is one of pain and suffering but also of joy and connection. The duality of the willow tree’s strength and tolerance during a storm versus its comfort on warm sunny days mimics this experience of humanhood. At Salix Counselling Services, we strive to find the balance between these forces while inspiring hope and promoting healing.

I presently exclusively offer online sessions while working closely with a dedicated team at Strength Counselling Services. My deep-seated passion is rooted in delivering compassionate support and fostering a secure and nurturing space for my clients as they embark on their personal journeys of growth and self-discovery.

Grounded in this belief, my goal is to guide clients in pursuing their objectives while respecting their distinctive values and autonomy.

The challenges we experience in life can leave us feeling exhausted. We might be feeling stuck in a seemingly endless cycle of dread, self-criticism, and overwhelming feelings. We may feel disconnected from ourselves, our goals, our values and those around us. As your therapist, my goal is to provide you a safe, respectful and non-judgmental space, where you are able to reconnect with yourself, your emotions and your values. I believe that we all have the capacity to move towards self-compassion, growth, exploration and empowerment when provided the opportunity and support.

Are you thinking about reaching out to someone? Do you feel overwhelmed and are unsure where to start? Please don’t hesitate to reach out. My passion is working with individuals just like you!
