Who will I be working with?
All sessions are with me, Amanda Bates MSW, RSW, a Registered Social Worker with a Master of Social Work. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed, and health-aware approach to therapy tailored to your unique experience.
What types of sessions do you offer?

Why Virtual Therapy?
Virtual therapy allows us to connect from anywhere in Ontario, making support more accessible and flexible. For individuals living with chronic pain or chronic illness, attending in-person sessions can sometimes be physically demanding or logistically difficult. Online counselling helps reduce those barriers by allowing you to attend sessions from the comfort of your own home or wherever you feel most at ease.
Whether you're navigating physical limitations, transportation challenges, or simply prefer the convenience and privacy of online care, virtual sessions offer a way to prioritize your mental health without added stress.
