Olivia Armstrong, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)

Olivia Armstrong, MA

If you are seeking therapeutic treatment that goes beyond symptom management and explores the root causes of emotions and symptoms, you have come to the right place.

I believe that every individual has innate resources to overcome traumas that we all inevitably encounter throughout our lives and that it is a birthright to experience such freedom. I strive to create an emotionally safe and attuned environment where you can experience the personal transformation you’ve been yearning for.

Using a client-centered approach, I aim to empower you to become your own therapist. Through embodied interventions, you will be guided to understand how to harness the power of your neuroplasticity. The rewiring of old patterns in our brains to create new, more adaptive patterns. I also employ emotionally-focused therapies and EMDR to examine how adverse childhood experiences and attachment relationships can create maladaptive patterns in how you relate to others and your environment. I am passionate about centring your agency at the forefront of treatment and walking alongside you towards freeing yourself from the emotions and traumas that no longer serve you.

My approach is informed by the belief that individual challenges can be a reflection of our society’s failure to meet people’s needs. I strive to understand and validate your unique lived experience on any dimension of privilege and oppression. I am dedicated to approaching counselling with cultural humility and a queer-affirming lens.
