Amelia Holden MSW, RSW Counselling Services

Description

Over the 15 years of being a social worker I have often been told by others that therapy doesn't work for them.
The top five reasons when I inquire why they felt this way, the most common answer was "I had a bad experience in the past because I don't feel the therapist understood me." My response is often "therapy is like shopping for shoes, you need to try different types on before you really find the right fit." I offer a non-judgemental, safe place to be open and honest about whatever has brought you through the door. I appreciate the courage it took for you to reach out to a stranger for help at the most vulnerable time in your life, so when you come to see me you will notice I have passion for what I do which can be observed through my energy and interest in what you're sharing during therapy. I offer a sliding scale, sessions can be covered under employee benefits, and by structuring the therapy we are working towards a final session. Together we can develop a better understanding of what triggers the negative emotions, work towards your goals, and feel confident with your transformation. I think it is important as a clinician to be accountable to your own growth and development; thereby, attending training and seminars to enhance in my clinical skills allows me to be equipped at asking the appropriate questions and providing experienced advice. You can contact me by phone or email, or book an appointment online. I look forward to hearing from you!
