Annette Sawatzky
Hello, I'm Annette! I bring advanced clinical training, varied professional activities and many life experiences to the work I do. These experiences allow me to meet my clients with empathy, understanding, and genuine curiosity as I help them navigate life’s toughest chapters. I also weave in a healthy dose of humour to keep sessions grounded, authentic, and human. For over 9 years, I have provided a compassionate, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to share their story, explore life's challenges, and build a clear plan forward. My experience spans private practice, psychiatric social work, addictions treatment, and equine-assisted therapy.
En savoir plus sur AnnetteAfficher moins
I hold a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW), am a Registered Social Worker (RSW), and earned a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Clinical Counselling. My graduate training included more than 600 supervised clinical counselling hours and two intensive clinical residencies in the United States. I am currently completing my PhD in Psychology, with research focused on Indigenous Ways of Knowing and culturally informed approaches to wellness and healing.
At the foundation of my approach is the belief that every individual possesses inherent worth. I guide youth (12+), adults, and couples to explore the patterns, beliefs, and coping strategies that may be affecting their relationships, work, mood, or sense of self. Through practical psychoeducation and evidence-based approaches including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), clients come to better understand how the brain responds to stress and adversity, recognizing that many behaviours began as survival strategies. Understanding these patterns is often the first step toward rewiring them and creating more flexible and empowered responses to life's challenges.
My areas of practice include adolescent mental health, young adult transitions, men's mental health, indigenous mental health and wellness, ADHD and neurodiversity, addiction and unhealthy coping patterns, trauma, anxiety, stress, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.

*If this is your teen's first session, you must book a parent consultation first. This is important as your therapist needs to understand your concerns as a parent, and your goals for therapy. Please note that if you are separated and there are custody agreements in place that require another party to give consent for therapy with a minor, your therapist is required to receive consent from that other party.
