We are thrilled to welcome Lisa to the team!

Lisa Wilson
Registered Psychotherapist
MA; RP

Lisa Wilson (she/her) is a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and holds a Master of Arts (MA) in Counselling Psychology.

Lisa brings experience supporting individuals across the lifespan facing a wide range of challenges, including mental health concerns, life transitions, stress and burnout, and family dynamics. With over a decade of experience in early childhood development, she is especially passionate about working with children, youth, and families navigating trauma, self-harm, depression, anxiety, academic pressure, low self-esteem, addiction, and emotional regulation difficulties.

Lisa is a trained Circle of Security facilitator and is deeply committed to helping caregivers foster secure, healthy attachments with their children. Her therapeutic approach centers on building authentic, strength-based relationships grounded in validation, non-judgment, and emotional safety.

Lisa is trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT) and primarily works from a cognitive behavioural framework. However, she adapts each session to align with the unique goals and needs of her clients. She also integrates elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

Clients working with Lisa can expect open and honest communication in a supportive space. She offers deep listening, normalizes and validates experiences, highlights existing strengths, gently challenges unhelpful thought patterns, and supports meaningful change.

Lisa is thrilled to be part of the Better You Counselling Services team and looks forward to connecting with you.

Help! I’ve been arrested!

I’m raising bail for Beyond 21’s Jail & Bail campaign to help them expand their building and serve more adults with developmental disabilities in our community. Every dollar helps Beyond 21 get closer to their goal of expanding their space with a new sensory room and STEM lab.

Help me make bail and support this important cause,

Ben

May is Mental Health Awareness Month.

Mental health affects how we think, feel, and live each day.
But too often, it’s overlooked, minimized, or kept quiet.

This month is a reminder:
It’s okay to not be okay.
It’s okay to ask for help.
And it’s more than okay to prioritize your mental well-being.

At Better You, we’re here to support you without judgment, with compassion, and at your own pace.

Let’s keep the conversation going.

Let’s make space for mental health, not just in May, but every day.
