Chantal Kirby
MSW, Registered Social Worker
EMDR Therapist
Approach
I'm a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers, and I hold a Master of Social Work from Western University. Over more than 12 years in this field, I've supported people of all ages through a wide range of complex, often difficult experiences including trauma, addictions, domestic violence, and the lasting effects of abuse.
My approach blends EMDR, CBT, and DBT within a person-centred framework, meaning the modality follows your needs rather than the other way around. I have specialized training in trauma and in how developmental trauma shapes both the nervous system and day-to-day life, and I work with children, youth, and adults virtually around anxiety, depression, addictions, and trauma recovery.
What matters most to me is creating a space that's genuinely compassionate and non-judgmental, where the pace and direction of the work stays led by you. Healing rarely happens in a straight line, and I aim to be a steady, evidence-informed presence through the parts that feel hardest to face.
