    Meghan Pistchik MSW, RSW

    Director / Child and Family Counsellor

    Meghan became a therapist to create a space for children, teens, and parents to be heard and feel supported. She is passionate about early intervention to strengthen mental health from a young age, support for teens through their most challenging years, and working alongside parents through every step of their parenting journey. 

    Meghan meets each client with openness and compassion. She offers practical strategies to help you manage day-to-day, alongside deeper exploration and processing. She will work at your/your child's pace to create safety in your counselling experience.

    No matter what your family is facing, you don't have to face it alone. Meghan will learn from you, and work alongside you as a member of your team to support your family to move from surviving to thriving. You will not find any judgement here, just wholehearted support through your most difficult moments in life.
