"Michele L. Gardiner, MAC CCC CCTP-II"

As a Therapist, I offer a warm, compassionate, person-centred approach and work with youth, adults, couples and groups across Canada. I hold 18 years of clinical counselling experience, bridged with extensive training and certifications to support a trauma-informed and integrative approach that applies an attachment-based lens to evidence-based therapies such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, including brief, non-invasive FT-EMDR, Parts Work, Mindfulness, Expressive Arts, Nature/Eco-Therapy, and Somatic Embodiment and Regulation to support you in a safe, respectful, and well-paced process that moves you towards your hopes and goals for change and well-being.
As a Humanistic therapist, I strive to meet you in the spirit of authenticity, collaboration and nonjudgement to create a welcoming and inclusive therapy experience that nurtures your natural capacity, inner strength and wisdom, while helping you discover new hopes, understandings, and the awareness that empowers you to develop the self-care, insights, and coping skills that will enhance your growth and resiliency in a way that aligns with your values for your present and future self.
Honouring you as a resilient and knowing individual is a core principle reflected at ELEMENTAL Psychotherapy & Support Services that comes from the perspective that, as human beings, our unique thoughts, feelings, and experiences provide us with an inner wisdom that is ELEMENTAL to our capacity for survival and ability to create meaningful change throughout our lives.

Free Consultation
We begin with a Free 20-minute Phone Consultation.
The consultation ensures that my approach and experience are a good fit for meeting your needs and goals.
Individuals Age 16+ can Self-Refer or have a health professional, such as a GP or RD, refer on their behalf.
After our consultation, we book a Virtual Session to explore your history, hopes for therapy, and to develop a treatment plan
that will move you towards your therapy goals.
