I am a therapist whose work is grounded in lived experience, compassion, and practical wisdom. I understand chronic health issues, navigating challenging medical systems with grounded determination to be well. I have a scientific mind, able to analyze health information and develop structured programs of care that include mental health issues that arise from your life experiences. For over 20 years, I have been supporting my clients’ physical bodies using my extensive knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Meridian system, and Chi Gong which increase energy to enable health. My clients gain energy and psychological balance to remain healthy. I am a trained Clinical Hypnotherapist with the Canadian Society of Clinical Hypnotherapists at the advanced level and have been practicing this skill for four years as a professional Registered Psychotherapist with the CRPO (College of Registered Psychotherapist of Ontario). I view each person as unique and believe the therapeutic relationship should reflect that individuality. I work collaboratively with clients to untangle the complexities of their living and working environments and to develop tools that support growth and resilience. I believe change is possible, and I am honored to walk alongside clients as they move toward greater clarity, balance, and wellbeing. I work with people facing chronic health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and complex physical health conditions. I also support individuals who are grappling with spiritual questions or adjusting to significant life changes. I value deep listening and strive to create a space where clients feel seen, respected, and understood.

Robin Dewhurst is a psychotherapist and healer with 15 years in practice. She is from the Georgian Bay area and brings that connection to nature into every session, offering a steady, grounding presence that helps clients feel safe enough to do real, lasting work.

Robin is clinically trained in hypnotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). She works with an eclectic, whole-person approach across chronic pain, IBS, addictions, and trauma, helping you release old hurts and negative core beliefs and re-write them into a progressively stronger thought system of self-love and limitless potential.

Hypnotherapy for IBS & Gut Health

If your day revolves around your gut, with bloating, cramping, urgency, and the anxiety of not knowing how your stomach will behave, Robin can help. She uses gut-directed clinical hypnotherapy, a research-supported mind-body approach that calms the brain-gut connection at the root of IBS flare-ups and discomfort. Rather than managing symptoms from the outside, hypnotherapy helps retrain the nervous system so the gut can finally settle.

Therapy for Chronic Pain & Chronic Illness

When pain or illness lingers, the nervous system can stay locked on high alert, amplifying symptoms and wearing down your resilience. Robin combines hypnotherapy with compassionate, trauma-informed care to turn down that alarm, ease the grip of persistent pain, and help you rebuild a sense of agency over your own body, alongside (not instead of) your medical care.

Support for First Responders & Front-Line Workers

First responders and front-line workers carry everyone else’s hardest days. Robin understands the toll of high-stress, high-stakes work: the hypervigilance, the disrupted sleep, the physical symptoms and burnout that show up long after the shift ends. Drawing on her experience with trauma and addictions, she offers a confidential, judgment-free space where you can finally put your own wellbeing first.

Robin works with all ages and values individuality, compassion, and non-judgment. Within a few sessions, you’ll be able to tell your story and feel truly heard, and then, together, focus on change that lasts.

Imagine, just for a minute, that you felt you could accomplish anything, and had the courage and the focus to pursue it. Imagine that you loved yourself and trusted yourself to fulfill your full potential on this earth. What would happen if we could all bring our whole selves and our gifts to this table of life? Our world would heal.

I support children, teenagers, and adults living with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and mind–body illnesses, offering a compassionate and supportive space where they feel truly heard.

Together, we gently explore both emotional and physical experiences, creating space for the mind and body to soften, feel safer, and gradually return to a sense of balance and ease.

I am post graduate trained in Sensorimotor Art Therapy, Play therapy, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectic Behavior Therapy), and IFS (Internal Family Systems Therapy). Furthermore, I am currently completing certification in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, a powerful modality for healing emotional and physical trauma. As a bilingual clinician, I also provide therapy in French.

Throughout my life, I have been deeply interested in well-being and healing, alongside a passion for the dramatic arts. I earned my first honors degree in dramatic arts, that included drama therapy, but challenging life experiences, particularly helping a loved one through serious mental health and emotional difficulties, further fueled my interest in healing modalities. With now more than twenty years of clinical social work and psychotherapy experience across a diverse range of clients, I work with individuals, children, adolescents and families experiencing trauma, anxiety, divorce, grief, mood disorders, and the multifaceted challenges that arise across the human lifespan.

Practicing within a strengths-based, anti-oppressive culturally informed framework, I draw from a broad repertoire of evidence-based modalities to tailor services to each client’s distinct needs. I am recognized for cultivating a therapeutic environment that is safe, inclusive, emotionally attuned, and that honors the complexity of every individual’s lived experience.

Hello, I’m Irene, a therapist, somatic practitioner, and lifelong seeker of the small sacred moments that remind us who we really are. My work rests at the intersection of science and spirit—where trauma-informed practice meets intuitive knowing, breath meets emotion, and the body becomes a trusted guide again. My approach is gentle, grounded, and deeply relational. I hold space for people to slow down, tune in, and reconnect with their inner world in ways that feel safe, authentic, and empowering. Whether we’re exploring old narratives, working through trauma, or softening long-held patterns, my intention is always the same: to help you come home to yourself. I draw from somatic work, Internal Family Systems, breathwork, mindfulness, EMDR, hypnotherapy and trauma-informed CBT. I believe healing isn’t linear—it’s a spiraling path of remembering, releasing, and opening. When I’m not in session, you’ll find me doing the things that nourish my spirit—crocheting, weaving, crafting, making things with my hands,or sitting quietly with a good book and a cup of something warm. Creativity has always been my medicine, and I bring that same spirit of curiosity and presence into the therapy room. If you’re feeling called to reconnect with yourself, ease old wounds, or simply breathe a little deeper, I’d be honoured to walk beside you. Healing begins with a single brave moment. You’ve already taken it. I have downloaded Google Chat and set up my email.

Looking forward to chatting about next steps.

My work is rooted in trust, compassion, and meaningful therapeutic connection, with a strong emphasis on trauma-informed care and the mind-body connection, including how stress and emotional experiences can show up as physical symptoms in the body.

I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. I support adults and teenagers who are navigating emotional distress, trauma, substance use concerns, and periods of personal growth. My approach draws from a range of evidence-based modalities, including EMDR, parts work, somatic practices, Polyvagal Theory, CBT, and DBT, and is always tailored to your unique needs and goals.

No matter where you are coming from, whether you are involved in the criminal justice system, working on the front lines as a first responder, navigating substance use, or part of a marginalized or underserved community, I aim to offer support that feels respectful, affirming, and safe. My goal is to offer a steady, compassionate presence where you can feel understood and supported both emotionally and physically as you move toward greater regulation, resilience, and healing.

Above all, I believe therapy works best when you feel truly seen, heard, and respected. I approach each session with curiosity, compassion, and care, meeting you where you are and adjusting the work as your needs evolve. Whether you are seeking relief from distress, healing from past experiences, or a deeper connection with yourself, my goal is to support you in building greater understanding, resilience, and a sense of steadiness—both emotionally and within your body.

I specialize in helping individuals reconnect with their bodies as a pathway to healing and resilience. Grounded in the principles of mind-body integration, I support clients in navigating trauma, anxiety, stress, and emotional dysregulation by fostering awareness of physical sensations and nervous system responses.

With a compassionate, client-centered approach, I integrate evidence-based somatic practices such as breathwork, body awareness, and nervous system regulation techniques into therapy sessions. My work emphasizes creating a safe, attuned therapeutic environment where clients can gently explore and process stored experiences held within the body.

I previously worked as a first responder. I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work and am committed to ongoing professional development in somatic therapies and trauma-informed care. I believe that healing is not only about insight, but also about restoring a sense of safety, connection, and vitality within the body.
