Our Counsellors
Danielle Birkland
Registered Social Worker
B.A., B.S.W., M.S.W.
I have been a registered social worker since 2009 and have spent the past four years working as a child and family counsellor/therapist. I received my B.A./B.S.W. from McMaster University and my M.S.W. from Dalhousie University. Certificate in Narrative Therapy. I am trained in cognitive behavioural therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness. I have a strong understanding of different mental health diagnosis (specifically anxiety) attachment, and personality disorders.
I offer individual, family and counselling and am familiar in providing therapeutic support to children three and above. I have supported many families to overcome issues around: co-parenting, trauma, Autism Spectrum Disorder, school refusal, family conflict/divorce, adoption and dual-diagnoses. Through my strengths based approach I have been able to support many individuals and families to overcome the obstacles they are struggling with, learn new coping skills, improve communication and learn how to have fun again.
