Working with Us
Our Values
At Renew Resilience, empathy, respect, and honesty are at our core. We are dedicated to being transparent and addressing your concerns with respect and honesty. Your needs are our priority, and we genuinely care about your well-being. Therapy is for you, and we welcome your feedback. If an approach isn't working, let your therapist know, and we’ll make adjustments to best support you.
Allison is a registered social worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and a member of the Ontario Association of Social Workers. Adhering to a strict code of ethics, I prioritize your confidentiality, trust, and privacy. I stay current with new modalities through ongoing professional development.
Allison also offers student practicums to Registered Psychotherapists (Qualifying) who also follow their own strict code of ethics and are under supervision by a licensed mental health professional.
You can be honest if an approach isn't suiting your needs. Your therapist will adapt and be flexible with you, using various modalities.
If mindfulness isn’t your thing, we can try a solution-focused approach or explore cognitive behavioural therapy. Often, a combination works best. We are here to tailor the methods to fit your needs.
