Counselling Intern | Affordable Therapy for Adults in Burlington & Ontario
MACP (In progress), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

Hello! My name is Nancy.

I am a masters-level counselling intern and Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) under the direct supervision of Christina Janiga. I offer reduced-rate virtual therapy for women experiencing symptoms of anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions. I am particularly passionate about maternal mental health and supporting women through:

• Infertility and fertility changes
• Perinatal anxiety and depression
• The emotional transition to parenthood. 

My approach is trauma-informed and compassionate, with the goal of helping you reconnect to yourself, build resilience, and move through these difficult transitions with support.

My Approach To Therapy

My approach to therapy is based on the belief that you are the expert in your own life. I work collaboratively, moving at a pace that feels right for you, and creating a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

In our sessions, I’ll help you:

• Make sense of your experiences
• Identify coping tools that work for you
• Reconnect with your inner strengths
• Build self-compassion, confidence, resilience, and empowerment.

I work from a trauma-informed, strengths-based, and compassion-focused lens. My primary modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Narrative Therapy, tailored to your goals and preferences. My approach centers on creating a therapeutic space that is affirming, respectful, and deeply values each person’s unique lived experience. I will meet you with warmth, curiosity, and compassion, and take the time to truly understand your story.

How Narrative Therapy Can Help Women Reclaim Their Story

Women often carry deeply embedded stories shaped by societal expectations, family roles, trauma, and transitions. Narrative therapy offers a way to explore, deconstruct, and rewrite those stories.

This approach can help you:

• Separate yourself from the problem

• Challenge limiting beliefs about your identity

• Reclaim your voice and values

• Build a future narrative rooted in resilience

If you’re experiencing postpartum depression, infertility grief, or simply feel lost in the demands of life, Narrative Therapy offers space to reflect, process, and re-author your story in a way that feels true to you.

A little about Nancy Sullivan, RP (Qualifying)

I have always had a passion for helping people improve their health and well-being. Prior to starting my studies to become a therapist, I worked in public health for almost 20 years where I
developed policies and programs aimed at improving the physical and mental health of communities and populations. Through this work I learned that our health is largely impacted by social systems in which we live. I strive to bring this knowledge into my therapy practice and create a space where all parts of an individual’s identity are seen and respected, and where the impact of broader systems on a person’s life is acknowledged.

My journey to becoming a therapist started many years ago with my first personal experience with therapy for anxiety. Over the years I have returned to therapy with different challenges, and it has been an invaluable resource that has helped me develop coping strategies, recognize my strengths, and build resilience and confidence in my ability to navigate various challenges.

The increasing need for mental health services in the community, combined with my positive personal experiences with therapy, motivated me to return to school and retrain as a psychotherapist.
