Why Choose Next Generation Wellness?
Expert Care
Hi, I’m Shannon — a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in Ontario. I hold a Master’s in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and an Honours Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from York University. During my 8-month placement with the Canadian Mental Health Association, I had the privilege of working alongside their crisis team, supporting individuals in moments of acute distress — including those experiencing suicidality and other intense mental health challenges.
That experience deeply shaped the way I approach my work today. It inspired my passion for helping people heal from trauma, depression, and life’s more difficult transitions — like divorce, loss, grief, chronic illness, financial changes, or parenting challenges.
I also have a special passion for working with teens as they navigate the ups and downs of adolescence — from anxiety, depression, and self-worth struggles to challenges with identity, friendships, and family relationships. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients of all ages can feel seen, heard, and empowered in their journey toward healing and growth.
My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and curiosity. I believe that healing begins when we feel safe enough to explore our stories without judgment. In our work together, I’ll meet you where you are, helping you build insight, self-compassion, and the tools to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and confidence. My goal is to help you reconnect with your inner strength and sense of worth — at a pace that feels right for you.
