Your Therapist
Meet Stef Wood
Stef obtained her master’s degree in Arts in Counselling Psychology. Her experience enables her to offer individualized and effective psychotherapeutic care with a unique passion for mindfulness, neurodiversity, and the highly sensitive person theory.
As a therapist, Stef brings a holistic perspective to mental health and wellbeing, and recognizes that everyone is at a different stage in healing. She offers compassionate, trauma-informed therapy for adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, emotional overwhelm, religious trauma, and major life transitions. She practices a variety of modalities to help clients understand their inner world, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with their sense of self. Through a humanistic lens, her approach is collaborative, and grounded in the belief that healing happens when all parts of you are met with curiosity and care through evidence based practices.
Stef offers cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), solution-focused strategies, and mindfulness-based strategies. Stef is also well informed on the highly sensitive person theory, religious trauma, and ADHD.
