Emily Pick, B.A., M.S.W., RSW
Greetings!
I am a thoughtful, caring therapist who holds a profound belief in the innate wisdom and healing potential within every one of us. I am passionate about personal growth, and bring genuine warmth, insight and deep commitment to my work.
I hold a breadth of experience supporting people through life transitions, trauma, addiction, grief and loss, relationship issues and mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. I create a safe and respectful space in which to feel, reflect, take risks and grow. With compassion and curiosity, I help people reconnect with their own inner knowing and move towards vitality and wholeness. Clients frequently report that they feel deeply seen, supported and challenged through their work with me.
I hold a Master of Social Work degree (MSW) from Wilfrid Laurier University, where I specialized in clinical counselling. I have completed additional training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Trauma, Addiction, Attachment work, Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy. I am a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW).
I have previously worked in community counselling agencies, addiction treatment programs, a medical centre, schools and women’s shelters. I’ve led groups on mindfulness, cognitive-behavioural therapy, (CBT), anxiety and depression, art therapy, anger management and mind/body awareness.
I am a parent, a friend, a sister, a daughter. I love being near trees and water, whether paddling, hiking, skiing, swimming or just lying on a blanket reading or resting.
I look forward to our journey together!
Emily
I don’t know who, or what, put the question, I don’t know when it was put. I don’t even remember answering. But at some moment, I did answer Yes.
