Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), HBA, MPsy
From a trauma-informed approach, issues with self-esteem and self-worth are manifestations of unresolved trauma that has resulted in becoming disconnected and feeling unworthy, broken, incomplete or not enough. The work we can do together will include helping you better understand yourself, developing self-love, self-compassion, self-forgiveness, and self-acceptance, and processing the unresolved trauma so you can ultimately reconnect to yourself.

Kaylen Leonienco
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
The way we think or talk to ourselves can greatly impact our overall self esteem. Many do not realize how hard we are on ourselves and how much that feeds into negative self talk. This can further impact our self worth. Therapy allows us to discover coping strategies, often resulting in changing the language we use within ourselves.

Shane Smyth
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, OACCPP
Coming from a personal place of having had very low self esteem I know how important it is to nurture healthy self esteem. Practising compassion and self acceptance as well as engaging in committed action towards one's values are so important for self esteem working with a therapist around these areas can be really helpful.

Andrea Wiebe
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Hello, I’m Andrea Wiebe, a therapist dedicated to helping individuals and couples strengthen their self-esteem and develop a more confident, compassionate relationship with themselves. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore the beliefs and experiences that have shaped how they see themselves.
My work focuses on increasing self-awareness, challenging self-critical thought patterns, and building a stronger sense of personal worth and identity. I help clients cultivate healthier communication, set boundaries with confidence, and approach parenting and relationships from a place of security rather than self-doubt. I also support clients in healing from past experiences that may have impacted their sense of value and in releasing coping patterns rooted in shame or fear.
My goal is to help clients live with greater authenticity, self-respect, and resilience—creating lives grounded in confidence, meaningful connection, and a deep sense of self-worth.

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.
