Erin Relyea, MSW, RSW

I am a clinical therapist and registered social worker who specializes in supporting adults dealing with depression, anxiety, life transitions, stress, trauma and/or grief. I completed a Masters degree at the University of Toronto and have over six years of clinical experience working with Mount Sinai Hospital, Distress Centers of Greater Toronto, and Family Service Toronto.

As a therapist, I recognize that life can feel lonely and scary sometimes, and reaching out for help is not easy. The weight and pain of our emotions and experiences can be overwhelming. I am here to support you through this challenging journey. Therapy with me is collaborative, non-judgmental and focused on helping you to feel “unstuck” in your life.

In session together, I am empathetic, curious, and authentic. I focus on deeply listening to your story to discover the unique issues you are dealing with. From there, we can create a step-by-step plan so you can feel more certainty in how to move forward and re-connect with what is important to you. I use a tailored approach for each of my clients that may include skills and practices from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Narrative Therapy. Throughout our sessions, I will support you to notice patterns of thinking and behaviours that may no longer be helpful. Together we will create a new narrative building on your strengths to cope as emotions arise.

Please reach out with any questions. I am honoured to be able to support you during this time.
