About
Michele Locke graduated with her doctorate from the Clinical Developmental Psychology program at the University of Guelph. Michele works with children, youth, young adults, and parents using a variety of therapeutic approaches based on the needs of her clients. Her training and experience is primarily in dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), and attached/caregiving based interventions. Michele's primary therapeutic work is providing parent/caregiver psychotherapy for those with children aged 2 to 18 years.
Michele strives to work collaboratively with her clients in an effort to provide a positive therapeutic experience. Her goal is to ensure clients and families are active participants in developing treatment goals and plans, in order to best facilitate positive change. Michele aims to provide the most appropriate evidence-based care, though ensuring interventions are individualized to meet client needs. She believes strongly in the importance of promoting resilience, building interpersonal strengths, early intervention, and open dialogue/collaboration with her clients.
Michele completed her internship in an inpatient secure treatment setting, working with youth with urgent mental health concerns (e.g., suicidal behaviour, non-suicidal self-injury, psychosis) and at McMaster Children’s Hospital working with children exposed to child maltreatment and complex trauma. She worked for 7 years at Broadview Psychology as part of the comprehensive DBT intervention team. She now works in her own practice in the Junction, Toronto, providing services to kids, adolescents, and parents. She provides group and individual services.
In her spare time, Michele enjoys being active, spending time with family and friends, and trying out new restaurants around the city.
