Meet Meagan Stiff (she/her)

Hi, I’m Meagan! I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist, and Registered Nurse (RN). I have a Master’s in Counselling Psychology, plus degrees in Nursing and Health Science with a focus on Child Studies.

I have spent over a decade working in the mental health field, supporting people of all ages in a variety of settings. I am especially passionate about working with children, teens, and anyone who has experienced trauma. Alongside my formal training, I have continued to learn and grow in areas that support deeper trauma processing and healing.

In my work, I draw from several approaches including Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), CBT, DBT, EMDR, expressive arts, mindfulness, and therapeutic play. When working with kids, I often lean into creative tools like art and play - They can offer a safe and meaningful way to express feelings. I particularly enjoy utilizing the expressive arts in my work with children as it can be a means of non-verbal expression, exploration and emotional processing and provides a way of communicating things when words are hard to find. 

At the heart of it, my approach is collaborative, person-centered, and grounded in a trauma-informed lens. I aim to meet you where you are at, hold space for your story, and support you in finding the strengths and tools that help you move forward.

When I am not in session or working toward becoming a Certified EMDR Therapist, and Registered Play Therapist, you will likely find me with my family or crafting. My biggest joy is exploring new places with my husband and doing just about anything that involves animals (say ‘Hi’ to your dog for me!).

I look forward to connecting when you are ready.
