Tammy Scanlan, RP, M.A.Counselling for teens, young adults, and parents, ages 12 to 25 years old.

For over 18 years I have had the privilege of counselling children, youth and adults to support positive change, healing and growth. In the latter part of my career I have focused my skills to work specifically with youth (12-25) and their caregivers on a range of issues related to stress, anxiety, depression, sexuality, self-esteem, family and relationship dynamics, as well as traumatic life experiences. I currently divide my work between an accredited mental health walk-in clinic and a private practice setting.
Across my years of experience I have observed how the transition from childhood to adulthood can be a particularly challenging one for families. My role as a therapist has been to support youth and their caregivers in navigating this stage of life with increased awareness, insight, communication and coping skills to successfully manage struggles and enhance overall resiliency. Clients have found my style to be warm, authentic, open and engaging and have reflected feeling safe, respected and accepted as we explored challenges in their lives and worked towards their therapy goals.
I am committed to a client-centered perspective in my work and view my role as a collaborator in my client’s process. I employ and encourage a strengths-based, solution-focused approach which incorporates various evidence-based practices and techniques. I typically utilize aspects of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy and Family Therapy along with Mindfulness and Art Therapy, depending on client interest. I hold a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology and am a Registered Psychotherapist. I am the recipient of the 2019/20 Yorktown Family Services Award of Excellence.
I would be honoured to connect with you to support your goals for positive change.
Fee for regular 50 minute session: $140 (plus HST)
Please note: I am currently maintaining a 1-2 month waitlist for appointments.
