Bio At A Glance:

Meredyth is a Registered Psychotherapist offering in-person therapy in Mississauga and virtual therapy across Ontario. She provides compassionate, trauma-informed support for children, teens, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, emotional regulation challenges, and relationship difficulties. With dual Master’s degrees in Counselling Psychology and Child Studies, Meredyth brings specialized expertise in child development and family dynamics to her work.

Feeling uncertain how to move forward to better your mental health and wellness is a difficult space to be in. I want to ensure you feel safe and comfortable sharing your goals and needs with me, so we can work together on how to best support you. I aim for an empathetic and calm environment, where you feel that your voice is heard and respected so we can begin achieving your goals.

Whether I’m working with a child learning to manage big emotions, a teen navigating school stress and identity, an adult processing past experiences, or a family seeking better communication, I tailor my approach to meet each client where they are. I believe that meaningful change happens when we feel genuinely supported and understood.

My background in Child Studies and years of experience working with children and youth across schools, hospitals, and community settings has given me a deep understanding of child development and the challenges young people face. I support children  and teens  with anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation, low self-esteem, and the effects of childhood trauma. For parents, I offer guidance and support to help you better understand your child’s needs and strengthen your relationship with them.

I also work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and the lasting impact of past experiences. My approach is trauma-informed, meaning I prioritize creating safety and working at a pace that feels right for you. I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), adapting my methods to fit what will be most helpful for each individual or family.

I am here to support you in building the skills, insight, and resilience needed to move forward with greater confidence and clarity. I aim to help clients develop strength in managing their relationships, emotions, daily stressors and bring awareness to their patterns and tendencies to continue to aim for healthy change.
