Wildheart Therapy
Compassionate therapeutic support for healing — in person, walk and talk or tele-health options offered.
The Wildheart Approach
As an accredited mental health social worker and yoga teacher, with over 15 years of supporting people who have experienced trauma, I offer a therapeutic approach grounded in evidence -based practice, that supports you to understand and heal from the impact of trauma on your body, mind and heart.
Providing you with a safe space for healing
I aim to offer a safe, compassionate space where your story is held with care, your body’s wisdom is honoured, and your healing unfolds with gentleness and respect at your own pace. Through somatic, and narrative approaches (top-down cognitive processing and bottom-up body-based approach) , we work together to understand trauma held in the body and reclaim a sense of felt safety, strength, and freedom.
In person and remote options
Currently providing walk and talk options or tele-therapy for one-on-one sessions, or trauma sensitive yoga for groups.

Hi I am Theresa
(she, her, hers)
I am a trauma informed accredited mental health social worker, providing one on one therapy and group work to help you heal from the impacts of trauma.
My training has taught me how trauma impacts our brain, our thoughts, our bodies, our experience of who we are, our relationships, our experience of life. Clinical research increasingly supports including the body in trauma treatment therapy, to process trauma we must involve our body and the stored somatic memory. Through a phased approach of building safety, processing and integrating trauma, at your own pace, we can heal and we can transform our experiences of self, relationships and our communities.
Being a trauma-informed social worker involves actively engaging in dialogue around social justice, privilege, and systems of oppression. It recognizes that trauma is both deeply personal and inherently political—woven into the fabric of our collective and individual experiences. These experiences don’t happen in isolation but are shaped by the broader political and social landscape we live in.
Wildheart Therapy is a holistic, nature-connected approach to healing that invites physical, emotional, spiritual and cultural safety.
It honours the wisdom of emotions, the language of the body, and the power of story, weaving together gentle movement, creative expression and nature.
