I am Michele Gardiner, a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) in good standing with the CCPA and 17 years of clinical experience supporting individuals through recovery from Anxiety, Eating and Trauma-related disorders and concurrent mental health challenges such as BD, BPD, Body Image, Communication, Depression, Dysregulation, Perfectionism, Self-Esteem, and Stress. As a therapist and human being, I appreciate how beginning therapy can feel vulnerable and strive to ease this with a warm, professional, and accepting approach that values you and your goals and focuses on helping you achieve and maintain the changes you desire in life.
The work we do together is supported by both education and experience including an MA in Counselling, BA in Psychology and Para-linguistics, and Post-graduate Certifications in the treatment of Trauma, Substance and Addictions, Anxiety Disorders, and Eating Disorders with more than 1500-Direct Supervised hours treating youth, adults and groups.
I offer a free consultation, provide Inter-Provincial Virtual sessions on weekdays and Saturdays across Canada, and offer a safe, authentic connection that focuses on you, your personal values, and your goals for growth and greater balance, joy, and freedom in life and look forward to connecting with you soon and learning how I can best support you.
