About Me: I’m Jill and I’ve been a Social Worker, Registered to practice in Ontario, for 12 years. I’m married and a mom to my little boy and wonderful pup, Muddy! I embrace a natural way of life. I love to spend time outdoors and believe we could all use more play in our lives! I am trained in many therapeutic approaches and I have an absolute love of learning.

I am a psychologist and founder of Riverwise Psychological Services. We believe that children do well when they can, and are committed to supporting families when they are feeling stuck. Riverwise Psychological Services provides psychological assessment, parent consultation, and psychotherapy for children and adolescents.

Feeling isolated and misunderstood is a common result of the stress and emotional strain of coping; whether the concern is addiction (your own or that of someone close to you), domestic abuse, trauma, caring for a loved one with a chronic condition, depression, anxiety, or other challenges. I take an eclectic client centred, empathic approach to assist clients in the development of effective coping skills, making life style changes, strengthening relationships, and making new connections in their lives. Over the past 20 years I have had the privilege of witnessing clients cope more effectively and thrive. I am a registered psychotherapist with 20 years experience supporting people and their loved ones impacted by addiction, violence, trauma, and serious mental illness. I integrate mindfulness practice, cognitive strategies, and dialectical behavioural therapy skills to support clients in identifying their goals and improving their quality of life. My understanding of stigma, trauma, and power and control dynamics in relation to how people adjust and cope provides me with a unique ability to assist clients in developing fresh perspectives and gaining a new understanding of themselves and the people in their lives.

Hi, I’m Amber, and I am here to help. I provide pregnancy / postpartum and trauma focused mental health support using talk therapy and mental health treatment techniques that use your mind & body to help work through past trauma. I offer perinatal loss grief support as well as birth trauma processing. My clients walk away from therapy with me feeling more confident as parents, professionals, and partners in relationships; they are less anxious about life and have motivation to live the life they want to live. It is common for new parents to experience mood and anxiety changes through the perinatal period. Many people question, “am I good enough” or “what am I doing wrong.” Perhaps you struggle to sleep, are irritable or teary without knowing why. Join me weekly or biweekly for 50 minutes to explore the impact of stressors in your life. Together, we’ll develop the tools you need to feel confident in your many roles you are filling (mother, partner, professional role, emergency responder etc) and also to feel more connected to those in your life, including your baby/children. We will reduce the distress you feel when you think about difficult events from your past or upcoming events in your future. Day to day tasks will seem less overwhelming, sleep may improve and you will be able to communicate more assertively with those around you.

You may be feeling overwhelmed with the current state of your life or you may be having a hard time coping. Having a safe space in which to share your experience is a great starting point on the path of mental wellbeing. Through an empathetic and judgement free zone, I can walk alongside you as you navigate these situations and uncover your natural strengths. Understanding your own story, and how it plays out in your interactions today can be a powerful step in this journey. Change occurs in a therapy space where you can be yourself, a place that welcomes you just as you are, in all your true colours, with your raw and unedited thoughts and emotions. Using an integrative approach, I draw from many modalities such as Biopsychosocial, CBT, Emotionally Focused, and Person Centered.

Trained in many areas of psychotherapy, for a variety of reasons, including anxiety, depression, stress, couple’s issues, trauma, self-esteem, and addictions, my goal is to treat you as the whole person, where we, as a team, decide what goals are best for you in each moment. We are complex beings, where biology, psychology, and support systems, all play an important and integral role in our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Furthermore, when you are ready, there may be some past events we can unpack and help you begin to heal from. That brings me to our alliance. I want you to feel safe, and we will go at your pace, so you can feel comfortable to disclose what you want to, when you are ready, at your own stages in our process. A little bit about me is that I am a father of two, and have been married for over ten years. I went through some difficult times in my own life, sought therapy, and it helped me get on a better path. I was so inspired by the field, that I left teaching to pursue this career. It is my hope that I will be able to assist you in your journey, as I was helped on mine.

Although therapy cannot erase the past, it can help us to understand and process our experiences. My experience includes working with those struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, and relationships.
