Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), HBA, MPsy
From a trauma-informed approach, anxiety is simply a manifestation of unresolved trauma and a lack of feeling safe, secure, and stable. The work we can do will be to better help you understand your anxiety, to learn ways to better cope with it, and process the trauma that creates it so you can feel more, safe, secure, and stable.

Michael Greene
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychologist College of Psychotherapists of Ontario
I see anxiety as a kind of implanted device or being that carefully searches the environment for threats. When it is healthy it is helpful and necessary. When it is unhealthy it exaggerates, and worse yet, creates threats. It can take over your life and produce constant feelings of uncertainty, vulnerability and even danger.
I will help you understand the origins of your anxiety. I will teach you how to befriend it rather than trying to stifle and criticize it as most people do. I will help you with tools and resources such as mindfulness, journalling and breathing. You will also learn how to use other parts of yourself to care for and calm your anxiety.

Kaylen Leonienco
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
Experiencing anxiety and fears for some, can be challenging and sometimes even debilitating. Therapy allows us to better understand anxiety or fears and find specific coping strategies to help manage. It is also helpful to reestablish our relationship with anxiety as we often view it in a negative way. Once we find ways to welcome our anxiety, that can benefit us, we can better manage when anxiety is playing tricks on our brains.

Jessica Sloan
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist and Certified Hypnotherapist
You find it difficult to quiet your mind and feel like you’re constantly overthinking. You may strive for perfection or say yes when you really mean no. I can help you regulate your nervous system so you can make choices guided by your values, rather than by anxiety.

I am trained and experienced in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy modalities such as Mindfulness integrated Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I am also trained in Emotion Focused Therapy for individuals and couples. I have had lots of success helping people learn skills to better cope with anxiety and fears.

Susan Fehr
Registered Psychotherapist, RP Qualifying, MA
Anxiety has a way of convincing you that something is wrong even when you can't name it. I help clients understand what's driving their anxiety — whether it shows up as racing thoughts, physical tension, or avoidance — and build practical CBT and DBT-based tools to feel more grounded and in control, rather than run by worry.

Waterloo is the tech capital of Canada outside Toronto—home to the University of Waterloo, the country's leading technology and engineering university, and Wilfrid Laurier University, as well as dozens of technology startups and established companies in what is known as the Waterloo Region tech corridor or 'Canada's Silicon Valley'—and the mental health landscape is defined by the particular pressures of engineering culture, tech entrepreneurship, and the academic intensity of one of the world's leading computer science and engineering programs. UWaterloo's demanding co-op program and a culture that can be dismissive of mental health concerns are a significant driver of demand, and the stress of competitive employment and high performance expectations is consistently present. Grand River Hospital and St. Mary's General Hospital provide behavioural health services, and a growing private therapy sector serves both the student and tech professional communities. Common therapy concerns include academic pressure and perfectionism in elite engineering programs, tech entrepreneurship stress, STEM culture and mental health stigma, anxiety, burnout, and identity development in a community where technical achievement is the primary measure of status.
