About Me

Morgan Purdy-She/Her/Hers

I am a Clinical Social Worker/Psychotherapist (MSW, RSW) and integrate a variety of evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness-based & Somatic approaches to provide individual psychotherapy and group therapy. I specialize in treating chronic stress, anxiety and trauma and passionate about offering yoga therapy and EMDR therapy in treating trauma and other psycho-emotional challenges.

I aim to foster a compassionate, inclusive, safe and non-judgmental environment for persons of all backgrounds. I believe that anti-oppressive practice is integral for creating a positive therapeutic relationship. I understand that experiences of trauma are often a result of systemic equalities and discrimination (i.e. racism, sexism, and more). I reflect of my identity as a White, cis-gender, middle class woman of European descent and I aim to mitigate unconscious biases embedded in dominant social norms when working across difference.

I have over 6 years of experience providing mental health support for children/youth (ages 0-18), adults and families. I have experience practising in settings such as primary health care, residential treatment, private practice, and non-profit community agencies.

I believe that every person has the inner strength & resilience to overcome the obstacles that life hands them and am honoured to accompany the journey of those who seek my support.
