Meet Amanda
Amanda Bates, MSW, RSW
Registered Social Worker
Hi, I’m Amanda (she/her), a Registered Social Worker with both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Social Work. I provide virtual counselling to adults across Ontario.
I support adults living with chronic illness and chronic pain, recognizing the many ways health challenges can effect life, including emotions, relationships, identity, and daily routines. In our work together, we can explore overwhelm, loss, and adjustment related to chronic pain and chronic illness, while developing strategies that support coping and quality of life.
​
I also support aduts navigating anxiety, depression, grief, pet loss, stress, caregiver fatigue and other mental health concerns. Whether you are managing difficult emotions, facing loss, or working through life's changes, you don't have to go through it alone.
I take a collaborative, whole-person approach that is compassionate and grounded in evidence-based practices. Counselling moves at your pace and focuses on what matters most to you.
​
​Based in Timmins, Ontario, I provide virtual counselling to adults across Ontario, making support accessible from the comfort and privacy of your own space. I am comitted to offering care that is inclusive, non-judgmental, and grounded in respect and understanding.
