More about Bethany 

Hi, I’m Emily! My background is largely in individual and family therapy; however, my early career was spent working in the carceral system, anti-violence counselling, and working with at-risk youth and young parents. I describe myself an integrated therapist, pulling from a few different modalities that
are grounded in trauma-informed and anti-oppressive practice. With therapy being a deeply vulnerable experience, my commitment to our time together is to prioritize curiosity, safety, and trust. I strongly believe that no one ever requires “fixing”.​

Areas of Focus:

- Adolescents/Young Adults/Adults 

-Depression / Anxiety Disorders

-Self-Harm and Suicidality

-Family Therapy (including non-traditional/diverse family systems)

-Parenting / Parent and Caregiver

-ADHD and Neurodivergence
