I'm Cecilia, a Registered Social Worker/Psychotherapist and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Clinician based in Cobourg, Ontario. With more than 15 years of experience in the field of mental health, I support individuals navigating worry, stress, grief, loss, depression, and relationship challenges.
In addition to working with individuals, I am passionate about helping couples strengthen their relationships through more effective communication, deeper emotional connection, and healthier conflict resolution. I provide a supportive space for healing emotional wounds, rebuilding trust, and fostering stronger, more connected relationships.
I have specialized training in maternal mental health and am Perinatal Mental Health Certified through Postpartum Support International. I offer compassionate support for a range of concerns, including perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs)
I offer both virtual and in-person psychotherapy, allowing you to choose the setting that feels most supportive and comfortable for you.
Virtual sessions provide a private and convenient space to connect from the comfort of your own home, offering flexibility while still creating a meaningful and grounded therapeutic experience.
In-person sessions take place at Pine Haven Stables, a peaceful farm setting in Colborne, and follow a nature-based approach to therapy. These sessions may include walking the trails or sitting in a cozy paddock-side space while surrounded by trees, horses, farm animals, and fresh air. The calm and natural environment can help foster relaxation, reflection, emotional connection, and a slower pace that supports healing and personal growth.
My practice offers a warm, safe, empathetic, and individualized approach that supports you in sharing your story, processing emotions, uncovering strengths, and finding solutions to the challenges you are facing—whether individually or as a couple. My work integrates evidence-based approaches along with mindfulness, grounding, breathwork, nervous system awareness, and body-based practices to support emotional wellness and healing.
With more than 15 years of counselling experience, I have supported individuals and couples in developing tools to reduce stress, ease worries, strengthen coping, build confidence, and improve relationships and overall well-being.
