Heather Mikkelsen

Welcome. I am a registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. I offer a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where we can explore the challenges affecting your well-being. Together, we can work through past and present concerns that may be blocking your path to personal growth and fulfillment. I specialize in helping individuals of all ages, couples, and families who have or may be experiencing trauma, anxiety, parenting challenges, struggles within relationships, and other mental health concerns.

‍

My approach is rooted in understanding the underlying cause of challenges and collaboratively working to support your journey. I practice from a trauma-informed, person-centred approach drawing on various modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectal Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution Focus Brief Therapy (SFBT). In my work with couples, I draw on Gottman’s method (completed levels 1 and 2).

‍

I enjoy building a therapeutic relationship and working alongside my clients as they embark on their healing, reflective, and authentic journey towards being their best self.

‍

In my free time I enjoy exploring nature through hiking, relaxing by the water, and spending time with family and friends.
