Every season of healing begins with
one brave step forward.

The Oak & Rose Approach

Therapy with Oak & Rose Counselling is a collaborative and relational process. Our therapists bring evidence-based knowledge and trauma-informed practice, but above all, we bring presence. Our belief is that healing happens in the context of a safe, respectful relationship—one where you are met as a whole person, not a set of symptoms.

You are the expert on your life. Our role is to support, reflect, and gently guide as we make sense of your experiences together. We move at a pace that feels right for you, creating space for understanding, compassion, and change that feels both meaningful and sustainable.

At Oak & Rose Counselling, we provide compassionate, evidence-based individual therapy and couples counselling in Thunder Bay, Longlac, Hearst, and online across Ontario. Our clinic focuses on eating disorders, disordered eating, body image concerns, trauma, PTSD, complex trauma (C-PTSD), and couples therapy. Our registered social workers also support individuals navigating anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, grief, perfectionism, and relationship challenges.

Our approach is trauma-informed, weight-inclusive, culturally responsive, and grounded in meaningful connection. Counselling is available in English and French, with in-person appointments in Thunder Bay, Longlac, and Hearst, and secure virtual therapy throughout Ontario.

We also offer clinical supervision, professional consultation, and mental health consulting for clinicians and organizations.

Living with Trauma

Past experiences still feel heavy and affect your daily life. Healing is possible, and you don't have to carry this alone.

Body Image, Embodiment & Self-Criticism

As bodies change during postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause, weight inclusive therapy offers a compassionate place to land to address, stigma, trauma and disconnection.

Feeling Stressed or Burnt Out

You're exhausted from trying to keep it all together. It's okay to need support and to prioritize your well-being.
