Chanel White

I am a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist. I have over ten years of mental health experience working with individuals and families in hospital and community treatment as well as in educational settings as a mental health consultant. My work experience is rooted in crisis services as well as outpatient mental health services supporting those with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, adjustment disorders and substance use disorders to name a few.

I chose this field so that I could be in a profession where I can bring my authentic self to my career and share in some of the most challenging yet rewarding times of people’s lives. I appreciate that coming to therapy can feel very vulnerable and I feel so much gratitude that I can be alongside clients in some of the most difficult periods.

My approach to therapy draws from a variety of evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness-Based approaches and Compassion-Focused Therapy. I strive to create a therapeutic environment where you can be your authentic self and lean into the goals that drew you to therapy.
