Shailyn Waites, RSW, MSW, EMDRVirtual Therapy

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.
