Emily Maxwell

The experience of soul-seeking and wanting change in life is a common human experience. I am here to show up authentically and help you understand how your experiences have shaped your life today. We live in a world where connection has become less frequent or has less depth, and we may feel alone in our struggles. In my experience, we may struggle to find out why we are the way we are. I am here to support you in finding your way, whatever that looks like.

I believe the ability of humans to grow and change through adversity. My goal as a counsellor is to help you find healing through self-discovery and by building healthy coping skills. I am here to meet you where you are at and work together to create goals that will address your concerns or make changes that will help you to live the life you want to live. I work from a strengths-based lens in order to help relieve stress, shame, guilt, grief, anxiety, depression and burnout.

I have worked with numerous populations, and currently am happy to work with teens, young adults, and adults who experience a variety of concerns. This includes a background in mental health and addictions, codependency, relationships, self-esteem and adverse childhood experiences. I also love working with couples to help you achieve the relationship that you want.

I offer a refuge for anyone who desires change by using an anti-oppressive and trauma-informed lens. I will walk beside you and support you in finding healing by exploring Schema Therapy, Somatic or body-based nervous system healing, restorative attachment therapy, Family Systems or intergenerational patterns, and Internal Family Systems therapy.
