    Rebecca Steele MA, MSW, RSW

    Therapist. Consultant. Speaker.

    Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist (RSW)

    Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC)

    For over 10 years I have worked as a psychotherapist to help people overcome a variety of challenges. I feel honoured to be able to work with individuals on their healing journey. I have had experience in treating these areas:

    Some of these above areas may include the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders, panic attacks, phobias, ocd, and generalized anxiety. As well as working with anxious or insecure attachment styles in relationships, family stress, struggles at the workplace, internal feelings of emptiness, feelings of neglect, anger, personal boundary concerns, burnout, enhancing assertiveness, body image, low mood, self-soothing challenges, misuse of alcohol or substances, and low self esteem.

    This is not a complete list but covers several of the areas I have supported individuals around. I provide a variety of different approaches to help clients face their challenges in their own unique way.
