Chanel White, MSW, RSW
Social Worker, Psychotherapist
Life can be overwhelming; sometimes our life trajectories don't go as planned for a variety of reasons and we end up feeling stuck. If your usual coping strategies are not yielding the desired results then it might be time to consider psychotherapy.
I offer individual psychotherapy in a goal-oriented model that focuses on giving you space to process your thoughts, emotions and behaviours by using evidence-based therapeutic interventions. In our work together the aim is to help you explore, understand, manage and cope with challenging experiences and emotions. My approach is non-judgemental, compassionate and exploratory in the process of assisting you navigate through the stressors that led you to therapy.
Sessions can be provided on an ongoing long-term basis or short-term for those who only need to be seen for a few sessions to help stabilize a crisis.
Therapy sessions are provided virtually via video or phone to those residing in Ontario, Canada.

improving communication
life transitions
grief
self-harm
alcohol use disorder and substance use disorder
anxiety

emotional dysregulation
feeling overwhelmed
”people pleasers” and perfectionism
