Supporting your mind and body to fully experience calm, joy and self-acceptance.

As a Registered Social Worker I use my training in integrative somatic therapy to support you in healing from challenging emotions, negative thoughts or painful experiences-past or present. I will also teach you to be your own support outside of the therapy space.

Am I the right counsellor for you?

Finding someone who you feel comfortable and safe with is a big predictor of success in therapy. I have created a list to help you decide if working with me is the right choice for you and your needs, click here to view that now. I encourage you to also create your own list of what you would like in an ideal therapist.

The first few sessions will also be important in making the decision about whether or not we are a good fit to work together so feel free to use this time to ask me questions and get to know my approach.

In the first session I ask “what would be important for me to know so that I can best support you right now?” You only have to share what you feel comfortable sharing in that moment, healing takes time so we do not need to rush.

Megan Trepanier, MSW, RSW

I am a registered social worker providing individual therapy for adults in Essex County and virtually throughout Ontario. I am very passionate about supporting others to not feel alone in this challenging world.

I use somatic approaches to support the whole system in healing. The word somatic means “of the body”. Somatic interventions utilize the mind-body connection to heal by addressing stored physical tension as opposed to just talk therapy approaches. This includes learning grounding strategies, finding resources for calm as well as engaging in breathwork and body-awareness exercises.

Somatic support is a good fit if…

…you feel stuck in thoughts, emotions and ways of interacting with others and yourself

…you ignore or avoid challenging emotions because no one taught you how to feel them safely

…you are very hard on yourself or feel out of control when you feel big emotions

…your body often feels tight and you can’t get a full deep breath
