Stephanie West

Over the past fifteen years, I have supported children, adults, and families through a wide range of life challenges and transitions. My work across schools, community services, shelters, and counselling settings has strengthened my commitment to compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-informed care. With a background in social work, mental health, and counselling psychology, I take an integrative and individualized approach to therapy.

I am passionate about supporting the whole person and recognizing the connection between mind, body, and spiritual wellbeing. I believe healing is supported through self-awareness, connection, and creating space for reflection, growth, and change. My goal is to offer a therapeutic environment that feels safe, supportive, and responsive to each client’s unique needs and experiences.

My work is rooted in trauma-informed care and integrates primarily body-based and experiential approaches. I draw from modalities such as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Somatic Experiencing (SE). These approaches support emotional regulation, self-understanding, and meaningful change through both insight and embodied awareness.
