Willow Grove Counselling - Centre For Transformation

What incredible times we live in!

We are a practice specialized in trauma and see many clients who could benefit from pelvic floor physio. Sadly, there aren’t many trauma-informed pelvic physiotherapists but Taylor’s pelvic floor physiotherapy focused practice changes that!

Check out this trauma-informed pelvic floor physiotherapist!

Ashley Safar (MSW Candidate 2025) finished her placement with us last week and we felt VERY sad to see her go...

We are excited to announce that she will be joining our team in an administrative capacity until she graduates this fall at which time she has agreed to return to us as an Associate!!!

Ashley is a truly compassionate, trauma-informed, anti-racist, anti-oppressive social worker and is one of the most ethically conscious placement students we have ever had.

In addition to her work with us Ashley is the ED of the Community Health Centre in Peterborough. During her placement with us she completed her Gottman Level 1 and will be completing Gottman Level 2 in and around the time she returns to us as a licensed MSW in the fall. To say she is accomplished would be an understatement!

For more information about Ashley please review her bio on our website using this link: https://willowgrovecounsellingcentrefortransformation.ca/about-us/

It has been a pleasure to work with Ashley this past year and we look forward to her imminent return as a couples and individual therapist this fall.

Congratulations on your pending graduation, Ashley!! We can't wait to have you back on our team!

Hello All,

Surviving Conditional Love is a peer-support group with psychoeducational and therapeutic/process elements. I am offering free 30 minute screening interviews to interested parties to determine goodness of fit.

Topics to be discussed in this group include but are not limited to: ambiguous grief, parentification and infantilization; perfectionism and insecurity; setting healthy boundaries, co-dependence; ambiguous grief, and; building self-compassion and self-trust.

This group will run for 12 sessions bi-weekly (every other Tuesday) on Tuesdays from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. (EST) with actual in group time being 3:00 to 4:30pm. The cost of this group is $960.00 for the whole 12 weeks ($80 per session) and payment can be made via e-transfer or securely via credit card in the Jane App.

The group will hold a maximum of 8 people and will be a closed group (meaning that once the group is running no further participants will be added). This group is geared towards adults aged 25 and up however, we have included younger participants in past and can do so upon request if fit requirements are met.

What an amazing experience this was!

I’m happy to relay that it sounds as though there will be more of these retreats happening at the Paisley Mill in future!

So grateful to have run a self-compassion and connecting with emotions workshop at this retreat ♥️

Check out this awesome Women’s Wellness retreat coming up this November at the mill in Paisley!

I am excited to have been asked by Canadian musician and mental health activist, Michelle Titian, to run a workshop on self-compassion and tuning in to emotions using mindfulness and Internal Family Systems (IFS) techniques at the retreat.

Spots are limited and are first come first serve.

Please share this wonderful opportunity!
