As a Therapist, I have 15 years of experience working with children, adolescences, and adults, in not-for-profit environments .

I know that placing your trust and hope in the hands of another is among the most difficult decision one can make. I understand the importance of this choice, as well the feelings of vulnerability you may feel in taking this first step. Finding someone with whom you can trust to help support change while you improve the balance in your life and success in your future endeavours can be a challenge.

I believe that by focusing on individual strengths and abilities can help to empower change, learning and acceptance. I believe every person is entitled and deserving of respect, privacy and safe, confidential services. As a resident of the Niagara Region I bring 15 years experience working with children, adolescents and adults. Holding an MA in Counselling, Psychology, I bring my hands on work experience and education to provide you quality, confidential counselling, with you in the drivers’ seat.

Madalyn (She/Her):

I am currently a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) student in the Master of Arts Counselling Psychology program at Yorkville University, working under the supervision of Larisa Fry. I work from a client-centred approach, emphasizing client experiences to determine best practices. Working from this approach, I listen and understand the individual and their uniqueness in each session. Years of experience working with vulnerable and marginalized populations allowed me to create an approach where I work towards creating a therapeutic alliance that includes genuineness, cooperation, and a sense of security and empowerment using client strengths and resilience. With the aim of assisting clients in managing the pressures of life, I draw upon cognitive-behavioural therapy, narrative therapy, and solution-focused methods.

(SHE/HER/HERS) FOCUS: COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY, SOLUTION FOCUSED BASED THERAPY, EMOTION FOCUSED THERAPY, AND NARRATIVE THERAPY

In life, change is the only constant. I heard that a lot in my life, but the only time it resonated with me is when the change was so difficult to bear. As a counselor in training, I am mindful of how as humans, we encounter life experiences that could leave us in despair. I offer this safe space to support you as you go through your unique journey by highlighting and empowering you along the way and ensuring that your experiences are honored, your voice is heard, your emotions are validated and most of all, your decisions are supported. My approach to therapy is focused on your needs, personal strengths, and desired goals. I look forward to co-design a therapeutic plan with you.

I am honored to have experience in working with children, youth, and adults from all walks of life. However, in my current role, I will be working with youth and adults. I welcome all clients from all gender, spiritual, and cultural backgrounds.

I am certified as a CBT practitioner and trained in trauma-focused therapies, mindfulness, play and art therapy.

As a mental health practitioner I believe that we all need a therapeutic space to feel respected, welcomed, non-judged, and supported as we heal in our unique ways. I hope that we can collaboratively create this space here.
