TRAUMA-INFORMED COUNSELLING
STEPHANIE UNDERWOOD, R.S.W.
Meet Stephanie Underwood, R.S.W
Healing begins when we recognize the nature of trauma and understand its impacts.
As a trauma-informed social worker, I offer a holistic approach that considers the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of a person's well-being. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate, and empowering environment that enables my clients to find a new sense of hope, strength, and relief.
By working together, we can achieve long-lasting changes that lead to improved relationships, increased self-esteem, and reduced anxiety.

Approaches

In my professional social work practice, I believe in taking an integrative, trauma-informed, and holistic approach. I recognize that individuals are complex beings with unique experiences, and I strive to provide a safe and supportive space where my clients can explore their emotions and work towards healing and growth. By combining elements of attachment-based and trauma approaches, I aim to help my clients identify and address the root causes of their challenges, whether they stem from past trauma or difficulties in forming secure attachments. I also value the importance of considering the whole person, including their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, in order to promote long-term healing and resilience.
