Hello, I’m Shailyn Waites, a registered social worker and clinical therapist that provides virtual therapy across British Columbia and Ontario, Canada. I am also a daughter, sister, wife, friend, former university athlete, and (dog) mom…all of which have shaped me into who I am today.
Being a therapist has been a dream of mine since I was young, and I am so thankful that I pursued my passion to help others each and every day. My focus for sessions is to create a safe, warm, and compassionate space for each person. Within this space, you are valued, heard, and seen for exactly who you are.
In my practice, I am very passionate about the mind-body connection. I believe that true transformation happens when we calm your mind by healing your nervous system. Above all, I believe that you are the expert of your own story. Together, we’ll navigate the challenges you face and uncover the strengths and resources within you.
Specialized virtual therapy services tailored for athletes. From overcoming performance anxiety to enhancing mental resilience to navigating your identity post-sport career, our sports counselling page offers targeted support to help you wherever you may be in your sports career.
Our virtual therapy services provide a safe space for trauma healing. Navigate through our trauma-focused counselling page, featuring EMDR therapy, and discover the transformative power of online support in overcoming past traumas and reclaiming your life.
Meet with me virtually to discuss what your goals are for therapy to ensure I am the right fit for you. This is not a therapy session, it is an assesssment that I am a good fit for you.
If you feel I am a good fit for you, you can skip the 15 minute meet and book an initial assessment to start sessions at the nearest availability that I have.
