***Accepting New Clients***

           Hello! My name is Emily Tardif (she/her) and I’m a Licensed Counselling Therapist (Candidate). Have you ever been asked, “How are you doing?” and responded, “I’m doing great!” when, really, you’re struggling to get out of bed, it feels like everything is falling apart, or your mind won’t stop racing and overthinking that one conversation? Well, you aren’t alone! Many people experience anxiety, depression, grief, and a wide range of adverse life events that they often hide behind polite smiles and answers. Leigh Bardugo once wrote, “Maybe the gift of being human is that we do not give up - even when all hope is lost.” Do you feel like all hope is lost? Then, let's get together, be human, and find your reason to not give up.

           I’ve completed Yorkville University’s Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, in addition to my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (2021) and Bachelor of Theology (2021). My therapeutic approach is a good fit for people experiencing anxiety, depression & suicide, relationship issues, self-worth/esteem issues, and meaning/values-searching. I offer Christian counselling integrating it, or your personal spirituality, into our sessions if you express interest in doing so. My Bachelor of Theology, as well as years of exploring my faith, have equipped me to help you work through your relationship with God or any other spirituality that brings you peace.

          It's my passion to provide you with a non-judgmental, safe space where you can come as you are to process your life situations and reach a sense of peace and security. If you’re looking for someone you can unapologetically respond to “How are you doing?” with, “I am doing horrible. My mind is just as messy as my house,” then you’re in the right space. You can contact me by emailing counsellingwithemily@hotmail.com, submitting a message through the contact form, or calling 506-622-3161.
