Lipa Therapy
Registered Social Worker
Welcome. I'm so happy you've landed here. For over a decade, I have partnered with individuals, children and families to work through difficult moments, develop strong coping skills and achieve their goals. I work hard to foster a warm and welcoming environment—to create a space where people feel safe and understood.
Areas of Expertise
Individual, Child, Teen and Family Counselling, Parenting Support and Consultation
My practice focuses primarily on supporting children, teens, families and young adults. Whether you or your child are struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD or difficult life changes, I can help find solutions to the big feelings and tough moments.
Children are not islands and a caregiver's involvement is vital when supporting a child or youth struggling with mental health or behavioural difficulties. I work closely with caregivers to gain a better understanding of their child's mental health, how to respond to difficult behaviours and strengthen family relationships. Whatever you or your child are struggling with, my approach is flexible and tailored to meet each specific child and families' needs.
I am also passionate about working with young adults. Your 20s and 30s can be incredible times of growth, joy and change. However, they can also be fraught with anxiety and uncertainty. Whether you feel Iike life's passing you by or you're confused about what's coming next, we can work together to make sense of it all.
I am a Registered Social Worker and hold a Bachelors of Social Work degree from McGill University and a Masters of Social Work degree from New York University. I am registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW), and the Ontario Association of Social Workers (OASW).
