The Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) program provides coverage for mental health counselling services for eligible First Nations and Inuit clients.

Amy Commanda, Registered Psychotherapist, will soon be able to offer therapy under this program, and a waitlist is now open.

Amy is a First Nations therapist on our team who approaches therapy as a collaborative and respectful process. Her work is not about “fixing,” but about creating space for clients to explore their experiences, reconnect with themselves, and feel supported in a way that is meaningful to them.

Amy focuses on supporting adult women, mothers, and perinatal clients who are seeking support with anxiety, stress management, sleep issues, identity, work-life balance, life transitions, and more.

If you are eligible for NIHB and have been considering therapy, you are welcome to reach out to learn more or be added to the waitlist. Email us at admin@cherrytreecounselling.ca to get started.

One year already, and what a meaningful year it’s been. ✨

This month we’re celebrating Heather’s first anniversary with Cherry Tree Counselling.

Heather brings compassion, curiosity, and such a grounded presence to her work. Over this past year, she’s become an important part of our team and has supported clients with care, thoughtfulness, and authenticity.

Watching her build connections within this community has been such a gift.

Happy 1 year anniversary, Heather. Thank you for everything you’ve brought to Cherry Tree this past year.

Supervision, slowed down.

Not another box to check.
Not something to rush through between sessions.
But a place to land.

Our new Half-Day Supervision Intensive is a four-hour, seasonal experience for therapists who are craving more spaciousness. Time to pause, turn inward, and reflect in a way that feels deeply supported.

Co-facilitated by our frolleague Heather Hendrie from True Nature Wilderness Therapy and Clinical Director Cree Lambeck of Cherry Tree Counselling, this intensive blends CRPO-eligible clinical supervision with intentional mentorship, grounded community, and space for real integration.

Think of it as a seasonal retreat for your supervision practice.
A companion to your individual, dyad, or group supervision.
A slower rhythm that invites you back into your own wisdom.

You can expect grounding.
You can expect renewal.

You’ll leave feeling resourced, witnessed, and reconnected to the heart of your work.

This small, closed group is especially supportive for therapists working in perinatal and women-focused care, trauma and grief, identity-centred practice, and eco- or nature-based frameworks.

If you’re ready to reflect, reset, and return to your work with intention, you’re warmly invited.

This month we’re celebrating Rachel’s first year with Cherry Tree Counselling. 💛

Rachel brings such kindness and steadiness to the work she does, creating space for clients to feel supported, heard, and cared for exactly as they are. Her warmth and empathy have made a lasting impression on both clients and colleagues alike.

Over the past year, she’s become such a valued part of our community, and we’re grateful for the care and intention she brings into every space she’s part of.

Happy 1 year anniversary, Rachel. We’re celebrating you and all the ways you’ve contributed to this team over the last year.

“What does menopause care mean to you?”

For me, it means walking alongside clients through a transition I’m beginning to understand more personally.

As I enter perimenopause, I’ve gained a deeper appreciation for how exhausting this stage can feel—
and how it can become one more thing to carry in an already full life.

Because it’s not just the symptoms.

It’s the mental load.
The shifts in energy.
The quiet question of “why does this feel so hard right now?”

And you know what?
Having the right support can change that experience.

Having knowledge.
Tools that actually make sense.
A clear, steady plan.

It can take some of the weight off.
It can bring a sense of grounding in something that often feels uncertain.

That’s what menopause care means to me.

Support that feels steady.
Practical.
And genuinely understanding of what you’re going through.

Four years of care, connection, and thoughtful support. 💛

This month we’re celebrating Beth and the incredible impact she’s had at Cherry Tree over the past four years.

Beth brings such warmth and authenticity to her work, helping clients feel truly seen and supported in the moments they need it most. Her calm presence, insight, and genuine care shape so much of what makes this community feel safe and welcoming.

We’re incredibly thankful for the dedication and heart she brings to the clinic every day.

Happy 4 year anniversary, Beth. Your work matters deeply, and we’re lucky to have you on this journey with us.

What if, for one minute, you didn’t try to improve anything?

Not your inbox.
Not your mood.
Not yourself.

Just one quiet minute of non-doing.

No fixing.
No performing.
No “making the most of your time.”

Just breathing. Existing. Being human.

And you know what?
That still counts.

Release the need to achieve or solve anything right now. Your worth was never dependent on productivity.

Living with anxiety or OCD can feel exhausting in ways that are hard to explain to other people.

The overthinking.
The spiralling.
The “what if” loops that won’t let go.
The pressure to get everything exactly right.
The mental load of trying to hold it all together while your nervous system is running overtime.

Rachel Gibbs offers compassionate, evidence-based therapy for adults and families navigating anxiety, OCD behaviours, panic, perfectionism, stress, and major life transitions.

At Cherry Tree, Rachel creates a therapeutic space that feels grounded, collaborative, and genuinely supportive: one where clients can feel understood without judgment or pressure to “have it all figured out” first.

Her work integrates approaches like CBT and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, helping clients build practical tools while also making space for the human side of healing: connection, self-understanding, and compassion.

Rachel is currently accepting new clients for virtual and in-person therapy in Dundas/Hamilton.

Access to care matters, and so does how that care feels.

Amy Commanda, Registered Psychotherapist, will soon be offering therapy services to First Nations and Inuit clients through the NIHB program, and a waitlist is now open.

Amy is a First Nations therapist on our team who offers a relational and trauma-informed approach. She also integrates the natural world, where it feels supportive, including options like Walk and Talk Therapy for those who feel more at ease outside of a traditional office setting.

Therapy does not have to look one way. It can be flexible, grounded, and responsive to what each person needs.

If you are covered under NIHB and would like to explore working with Amy, you are welcome to reach out via email at admin@cherrytreecounselling.ca.
