Meet the Team

Amanda Gardiner, RP 

Registered Psychotherapist
(she/her)

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Child and Youth Care Practitioner with many years of experience supporting children, youth, and their parents through life challenges, trauma events, and systemic challenges. I have experience supporting neurodivergent youth (ADHD, autism) and youth with mental health concerns. I also have experience and expertise in working with children who display concerning sexual behaviours, and adolescents who have sexually offended (post conviction).

 

I prefer to use a relational trauma approach to beginning therapeutic interactions in sessions in order to build a foundation in therapy which emphasizes safety, respect, and meeting people where they are at.  I believe that everyone is an expert in their own life, and incorporate multiple modalities into personalization of treatment including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotion Focused Family Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy. I have experience working in residential treatment settings, youth shelters, the school board, community not- for- profits, as well as private clinical practice. 


Outside of the clinic, I enjoy spending time with my family, being outdoors with my dog, cooking, reading, crafting, and learning.
