MEET OUR THERAPISTS

At Safer Spaces, all of our clinicians are licensed by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario, and the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW). This means that they have met the necessary requirements to practice social work and/or the protected act of Psychotherapy throughout the province of Ontario. 

Each of our clinicians is able to offer something unique to the therapeutic process. To make the process of selecting the right therapist for you, we've provided the therapeutic concerns (areas of focus) each clinician specializes in, as well as their current availability. To learn more about their approach in more detail, simply click "

If you require more assistance, do not hesitate to
reach out to us and we'd be happy to offer suggestions as to who might be the best fit.
