Emma Cadotte,
MSW, RSW
(she/her)
I am a Registered Social Worker with nearly a decade of experience working alongside youth and adults embarking on their healing journeys. I have worked with many people during some of their most difficult life experiences and I am continuously inspired by the incredible skills and dedication to healing that individuals possess. I work from a strengths-based approach where I believe everyone has unique resources and strengths that assist them in their pathway to well-being, and I believe that you are the expert on your own life. At the same time, I am also aware that periods of life can feel chaotic, overwhelming, lonely, and exhausting, and no one should have to manage these things alone.
I primarily work with clients aged 16+ and specialize in life stressors and transitions, trauma, emotion regulation, anxiety, and mood concerns. I view therapy as a space for strengthening your sense of self, improving your relationships, and gaining insight which can help inform the development of coping strategies that will work for you. Most importantly, therapy can help shed light on the strengths you already have.
My Approach
As a person-centered and trauma-informed therapist, it is my goal to create a compassionate, warm, and genuine therapeutic environment for you where you feel safe, supported, and respected. I draw from various approaches when working with clients, including trauma specific therapies (Integrative Treatment of Complex Trauma for Adolescents [ITCT-A]), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, skills and strategies from Dialectical Behaviour therapy (DBT), and attachment theory.
I take a collaborative approach with clients, where we create an individualized plan focused on your goals. I would be honoured to work alongside you as you move towards living a life in line with your hopes, values, and preferences.
