Hello, I’m Andrea Wiebe, a therapist passionate about supporting individuals, couples, and pregnant and parenting people navigating trauma, mental health challenges, relationship difficulties, and existential concerns.
I am a Certified Perinatal Mental Health and Birth & Reproductive Trauma Specialist (CC-PMH, CC-BRT), an EMDRIA-trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist, and an ICEEFT-trained Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) therapist serving residents of Ontario, Canada. I am a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) and a member of the Ontario Association of Social Workers (OASW).
I hold a Master of Social Work from the University of Toronto (2013) and a Bachelor of Social Work and Social Development degree from the University of Waterloo. Since 2013, I have worked with clients from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds in individual, couples, and family counselling across various social service and counselling agencies. In 2019, I transitioned to private practice to focus on supporting: couples seeking deeper connection, pregnant and parenting people facing new or unexpected challenges, and individuals healing from past trauma while navigating the pressures of modern life.
In my practice, I take a holistic approach that considers the interplay of mental, emotional, physical, social, spiritual, and environmental factors in each person and relationship. My therapeutic approach integrates EMDR, EFT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).
I also draw on my lived experience of relationship challenges, mental health struggles, postpartum mood disorders, trauma, grief, parenting, and existential questioning. These experiences have shaped my approach to therapy, emphasizing practical guidance, compassionate support, and the empowerment of clients to see their situations differently, challenge unhelpful patterns, and create meaningful change.
Ultimately, my goal is to help clients feel safe to be authentic with themselves and their partner; communicate with curiosity; build confidence as a parent; problem-solve in a calm, non-judgmental way; live with self-awareness and compassion; heal from past trauma; release unhelpful beliefs and coping strategies; and cultivate joyful, meaningful lives grounded in love and connection with themselves and others.
I believe therapy is valuable for everyone, as no one is immune to life’s challenges. Speaking with a trained professional can empower individuals to overcome obstacles, achieve personal goals, and gain new insights into themselves and their relationships.
