Hi there! My name is Maureen (she/her) and I am queer, cis woman, and a Registered Social Worker and psychotherapist. I founded the Trauma Healing Collective in 2023 with the goal of providing accessible, community-centred mental health services. I have more than eight years of experience working with individuals and families to navigate challenging parts of the human experience. I work with individuals living in Ontario, Canada and will soon expand to Nova Scotia, Canada as well.
I provide individual counselling and psychotherapy services to individuals who are ages 18+ and need support exploring their experiences, building healthier relationships with themselves and others, and achieving a wide variety of goals.
My areas of specialization and passion include:
Sometimes being a human and engaging in the human experience can be hard, discouraging, or downright scary. I work with folks who want to navigate this ‘human thing’, in a new way and discover what life can be like when the past is not weighing so heavily on you.
I am focused on working from an anti-oppressive, sex-positive, and anti-racist approach and I am always exploring how my own social location impacts my life and work. This can include looking at how social systems impact a person’s experiences and inform our self-esteem, outlook on life, and experiences.
My work looks at both the mind and the body to help restore internal and external connections, presence, and resiliency. I work with clients through assessment and discussion, to see which modality, or combination of modalities, will be most suited to their goals and our time together.
