Meet our Family & Women’s Specialist Michelle!
(Part of our Affordable Counselling Program - sessions up to $90 per session with sliding scale options).

Michelle recognizes the courage it takes to reach out for support, especially after years of caring for others or holding things together on one’s own. She offers a warm, client-centred, and trauma-informed approach, creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can feel comfortable sharing what feels most important to them - including parts of life that may feel confusing, heavy, or difficult to put into words.

She understands that for many women, midlife can bring complex emotional experiences such as shifts in identity, relationships, roles, and expectations, alongside grief, growth, and a desire for deeper authenticity. Michelle brings empathy, curiosity, and a grounded presence to her work, prioritizing safety, choice, and collaboration at every step.

Today, Maud offers her expertise primarily through online platforms, providing therapy via video, telephone, and text, allowing her to connect with clients far and wide. For those seeking a more traditional setting, her cozy and welcoming office in St. Thomas, Ontario, offers a haven for personal growth and healing.

A proud member of the Maud is deeply ingrained in the local community. Beyond her clinical work, she dedicates part of her time to , Coconut Vigor’s sister company, which focuses on the aesthetics and self-care aspects of wellness.

Navigating mental health struggles can often feel like riding an emotional roller coaster? Our feelings can shift rapidly, sometimes in response to external events or internal reflections, leaving us feeling overwhelmed or unsteady. What might appear to be a minor incident can spark a cascade of emotions, while at other times, significant stressors may barely ripple our emotional waters.

We know sometimes it feels like nothing makes sense! These ups and downs are a normal part of being a human, yet they can be so challenging to manage. However, it's important to remember that while we may not always have control over the emotions that we experience, we do have choices in how we respond to them.

By cultivating awareness and having proactive strategies such as mindfulness, therapy, or self-care practices, we can navigate these fluctuations more effectively. It's about empowering ourselves with the tools to manage our mental well-being, embracing the journey, and recognizing that each emotional experience, whether uplifting or challenging, is an integral part of our growth and resilience.

We know you don't want to hear this, but we have to embrace the process and hop on the journey to see real results. It gets easier. We promise. We have been there. You got this! ☀️

Have you ever caught yourself desperately needing answers and googling/scrolling your life away? We’ve all been there! There’s only so much that we can get off of social media.

The reality is we are all struggling at some point or another. Sometimes it’s things that are out of our control, while others we are feeling stuck and unsure what to do or how to manage.

Our therapists and coaches in St Thomas are passionate about supporting folks going through life’s ups and downs. Our expertise not only comes from education and training, it also comes from having been there ourselves. We get the struggle!

Learning to self-love and self-care is an ongoing process. Learning about our self-worth means challenging that critic within ourselves, while forgiving ourselves for things we are not proud of. Create room for self-compassion and ditch the self-hate!
