Michelle Mailhiot is a Registered Psychotherapist who serves all of Canada (except Quebec). Michelle works with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, adults and children diagnosed with ADHD, as well as family and couples therapy. Understanding the barriers in a person’s life, and previous trauma, can help identify present day triggers and daily struggles. The goal of therapy would be to work collaboratively, using a psychotherapy framework, to identify the cause of the struggles and work towards understanding and reducing symptoms affecting your daily life.

The approach Michelle uses is trauma focused Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), attachment based Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for complex trauma. EMDR is an effective form of trauma therapy that has been extensively researched to help people, who have experienced trauma, to resume the brain’s natural healing process.

A special interest of Michelle’s is faith-based counselling. She will be graduating from Wycliffe College with a Masters of Theological Studies in April 2023. Through her experience and education she can help people who are experiencing grief, anxiety, and depression by using their faith to help understand and build inner strength to face daily struggles. By combining psychotherapy to Christian beliefs, this can guide a struggling person to find a source of strength and hope during trying times.

Michelle has a Bachelor of Therapeutic Recreation, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, Masters of Theological Studies (2023), and a Certificate of Mental Health and Addictions (2023).
