Amelia Henriquez | 注册心理治疗师（见习中）

背景

I hold a Bachelor of Social Sciences, with a major in Psychology from the University of Ottawa and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. Over the years, I’ve gained valuable experience in crisis support and intervention, supporting individuals both in community mental health settings, as well as in private practice. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO #18228).

与我经历治疗的体验

Through our work you can expect a compassionate, collaborative space where your experiences are met with curiosity rather than judgment. My approach is grounded in the belief that healing begins when we stop seeing our thoughts and emotions as problems to be fixed and instead start listening to what they’re trying to tell us. In our work together, we’ll explore how your inner experiences make sense in the context of your life, while also gently challenging the stories, patterns, and beliefs that may no longer serve you.

Addiction

Mindfulness

Life Transitions

Guilt & Shame

Emotional Distress

Anxiety & Worry

治疗手法

这些是我主要的治疗手法，均接受过专业训练或有丰富临床经验：

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Through my approach I believe in creating space for difficult emotions rather than fighting against them, recognizing them as normal part of the human experience. This shift allows you to focus more on what truly matters to you, so you can move forward with more clarity and intention.

Client-centered / Rogerian Therapy

I take a collaborative, non-judgmental stance. I believe you are always the expert on your own life. My role is to support you in uncovering your own insights, navigating ambivalence, and building momentum toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.

常见问题

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

I understand that starting or returning to therapy and choosing a therapist can be a complicated decision to make, and it is normal to feel nervous, intimidated, or uncertain about taking this step. This step also shows courage, and a commitment to your mental health and well-being.   I am happy to offer a 20-minute complimentary consultation where we can talk through your hopes and goals for therapy, and determine if my therapeutic style and approach would be a good match for your needs!

Is therapy confidential?

Yes! I recognize how deeply personal and vulnerable therapy is, therefore maintaining your confidentiality is of upmost importance. As a RP (Qualifying) I am bound by a code of ethics and ensure that all necessary steps are taken to ensure your personal health information is protected - including information shared in sessions, and any notes taken. There are instances where confidentiality may be breached, such as when there are imminent concerns for your safety or the safety of others'.

What is your cancellation policy?

I understand that life can be unpredictable, when possible I ask for a 24-hour notice if you need to change or cancel your appointment. For cancellations under 24 hours you will be charged the full session rate, however in emergency cases this fee can be waived!

您知道吗？

I have always felt drawn to ways of healing that honour our connections, especially from my lived experiences and work in suicide prevention.

I feel the most connected and inspired when I'm in nature (especially the beach), with loved ones, and visiting my neighbourhood coffee shop!

In session I often bring in imagery, metaphors, and humour as ways to best understand your narrative and meet you where you're at.

Pets are always welcome (honestly encouraged) in our virtual space! I have my own pets that you may spot in the background.
